The occasional bell jingles and the corky tune from the tablet in Ari’s hands were the only things reminding Solene that this wasn’t her first showcase, and she didn’t have to be nervous.

But this one was different.

Aside from how well they were doing in Tokyo, this was her city. Whatever the outcome of this showcase was, it’d follow her everywhere.

She was already well known as a designer amongst the locals, and a lot more were going to know after tonight.

And on top of that, this was her firs

    Lewis twirled the champagne in his glass, taking each sip like he needed it, seated among the crowd as he watched Solene pose alongside her models.Applause rented the air with nothing less than respect and admiration from the people.Because underneath that smile and perfect composure, something in him was cracked—shattered.And it wasn’t just his ego.‘Guests shouldn’t be backstage.’ Her voice rang in his ears.Like he was just another person.‘Is that really how she sees me now?’ he nearly screamed in his head.Never in his five years of knowing Solene had he ever imagined he’d just be another guest while she stood tall basking in so much attention from what he used to love.He downed the rest of the champagne hurriedly and put away the glass, eyes never leaving her till the shimmer from her dress disappeared backstage once more.Then louder applause and cheers echoed behind her. But Lewis could barely register any of it as the longer she stayed away from him, the more it felt lik

    The occasional bell jingles and the corky tune from the tablet in Ari’s hands were the only things reminding Solene that this wasn’t her first showcase, and she didn’t have to be nervous.But this one was different.Aside from how well they were doing in Tokyo, this was her city. Whatever the outcome of this showcase was, it’d follow her everywhere.She was already well known as a designer amongst the locals, and a lot more were going to know after tonight.And on top of that, this was her first public appearance with her daughter. She was anxious—more than she wanted to admit.But Ronan had kissed her on the forehead that morning and told her it wouldn’t make Ari a target.Still…Solene glanced at Ari, who sat comfortably beside her, eyes glued to the bunnies hopping around, her finger tapping the screen occasionally like she wanted to pick them out.She smiled.“Ma’am, we’re here.” Solene looked up at the driver’s voice, just noticing the flood of reporters who were normally flocke

    For a second, Solene’s breath slowed.Something in his tone didn’t sound right, but she couldn’t place it yet.‘Pay whatever you think it’s worth?’ Those crystals are worth six figures in total, and he was handing out an open check just like that?“If I wanted to show you how sorry I am about what happened between us, there are better ways to prove it, Solene.”She nearly laughed. He was literally throwing his business in her face, and that wasn’t an apology?Instead, she exhaled, shutting the folder. “My team will handle the transfer within one hour. I’ll need confirmation sent to my office.”She made to stand.But he grabbed her hand—gently but firmly.Solene’s heart dropped, her eyes meeting his immediately.They were heavy and carried something. Something he was holding back, probably because they were out in public.A few people around turned their way, clearly wondering what was going on.But for the next few seconds, Solene couldn’t move—or breathe properly because somehow, t

    Solène pulled open the small drawer in the corner of the room, stuffing in the tiny folded clothes she’d brought in from the laundry.She turned, her eyes catching Arianna’s chest rising and falling in steady rhythm, full hair, which they tried to control but failed to, heaped around the shawl at her head like extra neck support.Solene smiled faintly, remembering how much Arianna used to tug at it and cry when she was younger, like it was some inconvenience that wasn’t supposed to be there.Even now, it took effort to make her sit still long enough to style it.Gently, Solene reached forward and released the piece of blanket she’d been clutching. Ari shifted slightly, letting out a small sound.Solene froze immediately, then slowly she backed away, moving like she was stepping away from a live bomb.Her back hit a surface—hard, warm, and tall.“Shhh,” she muttered, her eyes on Ari, who had changed her lying position and was still slightly moving.But Ronan still wrapped an arm around

    “What exactly has made the rabbit come out in broad daylight?” Heads turned as Quagmire approached the table at which Ronan sat, the single furry robe he wore trailing behind him, his bare chest catching the dim lights.The noise in the room dipped for a second under his voice—then surged right back up like nothing happened.Ronan didn’t answer immediately. He just watched him, arms folded, expression unreadable. Then a slow smirk tugged at his lips.“The only man proud to be a walking dildo.”Quagmire lifted his arms in mock surrender, jewelry clinking against each other. “That’s me, my boss.”He slid into the seat beside Ronan, then turned to the girls already ogling Ronan.“Get out, you lots.” He said, waving them away.And when they finally disappeared flaunting their asses, Quagmire turned to Ronan.He watched the tight expression on his face, then chuckled. “Man…look at you. You don’t even have eyes for women anymore.”“Some people outgrow things, Quagmire,” Ronan replied calml

    “Sir, she hardly stays in one place. But she should be in the city tonight.”Ronan raised a brow at the man seated across from him at the table and swallowed. “Really?” The man nodded once. “I texted the location and details. There’s a high chance you can’t miss her.”Ronan turned back to the steak in front of him and forked the last piece into his mouth. He chewed slowly, then reached for the rum on the table and sipped.“Time?” The man glanced at his phone. “In about thirty minutes.”“Bill,” Ronan called towards a waitress, dabbing his mouth with a napkin.“If you leave now, you can catch her before what they call rush hour.”Ronan just forced a small smile towards the waitress as she ran his card. And in no time, he was walking out of the building, one hand shoved into his pocket, the man trailing behind him like a shadow.He stopped by his car. “I’ll go alone. You head back to the house and be sure Solene and my baby are home.” The man shot him a look that read: Are you sure?

    Solene shut the door behind her and kicked off her shoes, sighing as she sank onto the bed.Thankfully, work had been peaceful without unwanted exes making unexpected visits and trying to change her child’s surname.‘I mean, how dare he?’ she thought, her eyes fixed on the ceiling. Where the hell

    The next morning, Solene sat in front of her dresser, her eyes lingering on the diamond necklace resting against her collarbone.Somehow, Ronan had managed to convince her that attending would give her brand more exposure.And frankly…she had thought about it.She rarely went out with him.It was a

    “Wait, you mean Ronan? Ronan Alvarez? The same one we all know?” “Yes, Chris, you heard me very clearly,” Lewis answered hurriedly as he dug through drawers, his wardrobe, and even travelling bags, searching for something that made him uneasy.Chris scoffed on the other end, surprise and disbelief

    Solene shut her eyes briefly as Ronan kissed her hair, and she let out her breath, allowing herself to lean into him. A ripple moved through the crowd. Those who recognized Ronan gasped, whispers blooming like wildfire as their eyes locked onto the scene. But when Solene opened her eyes, her gaz
