Rhea's Pov

“When you say, ‘rival the Montaigne’, what exactly do you mean by that?” I questioned.

“Oh.” Carmen let out a small laugh, “I mean it literally. You might not know this, but my background is not little at all. I come from a long line of people who are related to the president of Imperial City.”

“Huh?!” I gasped, then promptly covered my mouth with my hands. I didn't mean to interrupt but I was too shocked not to, “I… I'm sorry I…”

“No, it's fine. Not a lot of people know this since I haven't appeared in public for a long time. I'm sure people think that the Heiress of the Valerius Family has disappeared entirely.” Carmen finished with a knowing smirk.

My heart hammered against my ribs.

“V… Valarius? Wait,” I stammered, my voice barely a whisper, “The… the heiress you’re talking about. Is it… is it you?” I had to clutch the edge of the sleek, expensive desk to keep from pitching forward. My legs felt like rubber, and the blood had rushed from my face.

Carmen’s smirk widened

    Rhea's Pov “We have to ask her about the colours she wants to choose for the decorations!” “The colour of her wedding dress as well! Are the catalogues ready?!” “Careful! Careful! None of those stuff should fall, it took me a great deal of time to arrange them into one place! Just one push and it'll all be for nothing!” I groaned and turned on the bed, my ears ringing from the noise. What the hell was happening? But to be honest, this bed was crazily soft, it felt like I was sleeping on a cloud, I could literally melt into the bed. “Hold on,” I said, my voice muffled. Why was I on a bed? I remember Alaric and I were in that beautiful place, gazing at the moon. I must have fallen asleep so Alaric moved me here. But this wasn't my room and neither was this my bed. I sat up leisurely, the blanket sliding down to my waist, and took my time looking around. The room was unfamiliar, yet it felt intentional, like someone had thought carefully about every detail before placing it th

    Rhea's Pov Still holding me effortlessly above the waterline, he began to move. I barely registered the shift until my back met cool, smooth stone. He carried us backward until my spine pressed against a large, rounded boulder that rose just above the surface of the lake. The rock was sun-warmed from the day despite the night air, a delicious contrast to the icy water lapping at my calves and his thighs. He braced one forearm beside my head, caging me gently against the stone while his other arm remained locked around my waist, keeping me flush to his body.Our mouths never parted.He sucked lightly on my bottom lip, then soothed the sting with a slow drag of his tongue. I arched instinctively, pressing my breasts against the hard planes of his chest. The wet fabric of my dress clung obscenely, outlining every curve, and I felt the rough catch of his shirt against my sensitive nipples. A low growl rumbled in his throat, the sound vibrated through me, and he rewarded the arch of my bo

    Rhea's Pov “More like an observation,” he replied, amused.We stopped at the edge of the water, and before I could move, he knelt down in front of me. I blinked in surprise as his hands gently reached for my shoes.“What are you doing?” I asked.“Helping you,” he said simply, carefully unfastening them. “Because if you try to do this yourself, you’ll trip, and then I’ll have to rescue you, and then you’ll pretend you meant to fall.”“That happened one time,” I protested.“Three,” he corrected calmly.I scoffed, but let him slide my shoes off anyway. The cool grass beneath my bare feet sent a pleasant shiver up my spine. Before he could even stand properly, I took off running.“Rhea…” he started.Too late. I squealed as I splashed straight into the lake, the cold water soaking the hem of my dress as I jumped excitedly, laughing so hard my chest hurt. I turned back to see Alaric standing at the shore, arms crossed, watching me with an expression that balanced perfectly between fondness

    Rhea's Pov A wide open field stretched out before us, green grass glowing faintly under the moonlight. Fireflies dotted the air like living stars, drifting lazily around us. In the distance, a river reflected the sky, shimmering silver and blue, its gentle flow carrying the sound of water softly through the night. The stars above were impossibly bright, unfiltered by city lights, scattered across the sky in a way that made everything else feel small.“Oh,” I breathed. “Alaric… How…”He watched my reaction quietly, a small smile playing on his lips. “I knew you’d like it.”“This place is beautiful,” I said, turning slowly as if afraid it might vanish if I moved too fast. “How did you even find this?”“I’ve known about it for a while,” he replied. “I just… never had the right moment.”Something in his voice shifted, subtle but unmistakable and instantly, somehow, I knew what was coming back. He reached into the pocket and grabbed something, a glimmer of happiness and hope in his eyes.

    Rhea's Pov By the time I reached his company building, my pulse was racing. I parked hurriedly and practically jogged inside. The receptionist barely had time to look up before recognition flashed across her face.“Mrs. Vale,” she said quickly. “Mr. Vale asked you to go straight to his office.”“Thank you,” I replied, already moving toward the elevator. The ride up felt unbearably slow. My breath came faster, my palms damp as the doors finally slid open. I walked quickly down the corridor and pushed open the door to Alaric’s office without knocking.And froze.Alaric was seated behind his desk, jacket neatly hung over the back of his chair, sleeves rolled up just enough to expose his forearms. He was calmly flipping through a document, pen in hand, completely composed. No chaos. No tension and no emergency.He glanced up at me, eyebrows lifting slightly.“What’s wrong?” he asked. He tilted his head, eyes flicking over me with mild concern. “Why are you panting? And why are you sweati

    Rhea’s PovI crossed my arms slowly, leaning back in my chair as I met her gaze through the thick glass between us.“I just came to see how you were faring,” I said evenly. “Nothing more.”Ginny stared at me for a second before a dry scoff escaped her lips. It sounded wrong coming from her, like laughter that had forgotten how to exist properly.“How do you think I should be faring?” she asked, her voice raspy, edged with bitterness. “Did you expect me to be thriving in here, Rhea? Smiling? Living my best life?” Her fingers dug into her arms again, nails scraping harshly over irritated skin. “After all, it’s because of you that I’m in prison.”I laughed.The sound was soft, almost light, but it cut cleanly through the heavy air of the visitation room.“No,” I corrected calmly. “You’re here because of the choices you made. Not because of me.”Her eyes flickered, something dark stirring beneath the exhaustion, but I did not give her time to interrupt.“You lied,” I continued, my voice s
