I looked from one face to another, waiting for someone; anyone—to laugh and admit this was some kind of prank.

But Nobody did.

My heart began pounding so hard that the pressure started hurting. “What did you just say?” I whispered, the sound of my question felt faint.

Arthur slowly straightened, his expression which was not usually solemn became so towards me.

“I said,” he repeated carefully, “that you are the last surviving daughter of the Caelthorne Dynasty.”

“No.” I immediately shook my h

  • Contract With My Hidden Enemy    Chapter Thirty Four: Limited Time

    Nobody dared to move. Everyone stood where they were though Silas and Evelyn kept disturbing for the key. Silas’s hand remained extended in front of my face, his palm open, his fingers completely unmoving. His dark eyes locked onto mine, burning with a mix of authority and an intense, raw frustration. He wasn't just asking for the key—he was demanding control over the chaos that had just invaded his home.“Vienne,” he repeated, his voice dropping into a dangerously low tone that vibrated right through my chest. “The key. Now.”Evelyn’s expression had changed completely. The unshakable confidence she’d worn since she walked into the library was entirely gone. For the first time, no I don’t think I should say for the first time; she looked deeply uneasy. “No! Give it to me, Vienne. I’m trying to stop Silas from blocking you. You have to know the truth!”“Evelyn, step back, you liar,” Silas growled, his voice cutting through her words. “Vienne, trust me, she is lying to you. This is the

  • Contract With My Hidden Enemy    Chapter Thirty Three: The Trust interrupted

    The silence inside the library stretched so long that i could even hear the clock tickling clearly. “Vienne,” Silas said. His voice wasn’t loud, but it carried that terrifying weight that made me scared. “What key is she talking about? What Tea?”I couldn’t look him in the eye. My fingers were still trembling inside my pocket, pressed against the sharp metal edges of the key. “Silas, I…”“She won't tell you, Silas,” Evelyn interrupted smoothly. She began to descend from the stairs coming towards us, her heels making a soft, rhythmic *tap-tap-tap* that stopped the room from being quiet. “She didn't trust you enough to tell you someone broke into your secure bedroom while you were busy playing king downstairs.”Silas’s jaw clenched so hard a muscle twitched violently under his skin. He didn't look at Evelyn. His focus stayed entirely on me. “Is that why you asked if I came into the room this morning?”I swallowed the lump of dry panic in my throat and finally nodded. “There was a note

  • Contract With My Hidden Enemy    Chapter Thirty Two: The Exposed Lie

    “I should come to the library?” I repeated asking myself in a breathless whisper. I simply stared at the note. My skin broke out into goosebumps despite the warmth inside the room. This paper simply showed someone has entered the room while I and Lena was fast asleep. The perimeter were locked down. Silas had given his word. Elias had coded the blockades himself. And I didn’t padlock our door. Yet, someone had bypassed the Vane security grid, pushed open our bedroom doors and left a hot drink and a silver key sitting on the glass table.My heart hammered violently against my ribs as I picked up the small silver key. It was entirely cold, small enough to fit inside a delicate jewelry box. I quickly slid it into the pocket of the dark wool trousers I had hurriedly changed into, leaving the steaming tea untouched. I threw my damp hair into a tight ponytail, refusing to drink a single drop from the tea when I didn't even know whose hands had prepared it.I glanced back at Lena before l

    Lena and I just stared at the photograph, our breathing shallow, both of us waiting for the image to change and then we know it was all a lie. But no the image didn’t change. The photograph slipped from my fingers. It fluttered onto the cream-colored carpet like a dying leaf. For a long moment, neither Lena nor I moved.Lena bent down as she helped me pick up the photo with a trembling hand placing it on my palm. I stared at the woman’s face again. She had the same gentle smile as me. The same eyes - the exact same gray-blue eyes staring back at me. I don’t even need anyone to tell me who she was I already knew that this was my mother. “Vienne…” Lena whispered, her voice shaking so badly she could barely pronounce my name properly. “What does this mean? If she didn't die... where has she been all these years?”“I don’t know,” I murmured, my thumb tracing the crimson wax. Half of it already broken to the floor. My brain was completely fried, staggering under the weight of many thou

  • Contract With My Hidden Enemy    Chapter Thirty: She Never Died.

    When the elevator doors slid open onto the secure penthouse level, the air changed. It was cooler outside, smelling faintly of clean linens and the expensive wood polish of the private residence.We all started our journey back to the Vane Penthouse. We haven’t stepped our foot back into the estate building since the night we came to Lena house because of the incident that happened back there.At the very least, I could go home and rest my head from all the memories that had flicked at me today. Yes, it wasn’t going to end anytime soon but I still desperately needed some rest.Beside me, Silas remained silent. His injured hand rested on his knee, bandaged hastily by Lena before we left the tower. Despite the blood loss and exhaustion etched across his face, he still looked composed.We finally got to the penthouse. “Go inside with Lena,” Silas said, his voice dropping into that low, flat tone he used when he was with me alone. He said turning his head towards me, his dark eyes fixed

My parents were ordinary people. We weren’t some dynasty. We were drowning in debt.”“You were made to believe that,” my Godmother said quietly.My head snapped toward her so fast that my neck made a cracking sound. For the first time since entering the boardroom, she was looking directly at me. Not with pity but with Pure, unbearable guilt.Arthur turned to my Godmother, not facing me again. His attention fully focused on her like no one was i
