Elara I decided to confront David directly rather than continue waiting for him to make his next move against our family. He was sitting in the darkness of the guest house when I arrived, as though he had been expecting me the entire evening. "I knew you would come eventually," he said. "Did you really?" "I know you, Elara. I understand you better than almost anyone else in your life." "You don't know me at all anymore, David. Whatever version of me you remember stopped existing a long time ago." He smiled at that, an expression that carried none of the warmth I remembered from our earlier relationship. "Then why exactly are you standing in my doorway right now?" "Because I want to propose a deal," I said, stepping fully into the room. "A deal? That's an interesting choice of words coming from you." "I know what you actually want. You want revenge against Alexander for everything you believe he took from you. And I think I can help you get it." David leaned forward in his

Alexander I found them standing in the kitchen: Elara, pale against the counter, and David, positioned across from her, with an expression I couldn't quite read. "What's happening here?" I asked, moving further into the room. Elara turned toward me, her face drawn with an emotion somewhere between shock and fury. "David just told me something," she said. "What did he tell you?" "He said he was the one who took my mother. Not Salvatore. Him." I turned my full attention toward David, feeling something cold settle into my chest. "Explain yourself. Now." David smiled, an expression that carried none of the vulnerability I had witnessed from him at the prison months earlier. "Salvatore was nothing more than a pawn," he said. "I used him to manufacture a crisis that would force you to trust me again, to bring me back into this house and this family after everything that happened at The Sanctum." He shrugged casually, as though describing something trivial. "It worked exactly as I

Elara I heard the gunshot from where I stood in the study, and my heart seemed to stop entirely in the instant it took me to process what that sound might mean. I ran without thinking further, Vivian right behind me, David following close after her, all three of us pushing through the warehouse doors together in a scramble that felt like it lasted both seconds and an eternity at once. Alexander stood in the middle of the space, looking down at Salvatore's body on the concrete floor, the gun still gripped tightly in his hand. "Alexander!" I called out, my voice echoing against the metal walls. He looked up at the sound of my voice, and something in his expression softened when he saw me. "Elara. She's over there," he said, pointing toward the far corner of the warehouse. My mother was tied to a chair against the wall, her face streaked with tears but her chest rising and falling steadily. She was alive. "Mom!" I rushed toward her, my hands shaking as I worked at the ropes bindi

Alexander Salvatore had taken Elara's mother. She had been visiting her father in Ohio when it happened, taken from their house sometime in the middle of the night without anyone noticing until it was already too late to stop him. Standing in the study, watching Elara's face drain of color at the news, I felt something ignite in me that hadn't burned this hot since the night David had shot me in The Sanctum. "Where is she?" Elara asked, her voice shaking despite her obvious effort to keep it steady. "I don't know the exact location yet," David said. "But I still have contacts from that world who can find out quickly." "How do I know this isn't some kind of trap you've orchestrated with him?" she asked, her eyes narrowing on her former fiancé. David held her gaze without flinching. "Because I came here specifically to help both of you. I've been telling the truth since the moment I walked through that gate, and I have no intention of stopping now, not when your mother's life is a

ElaraI didn't sleep at all that night.David was settled in the guest house across the property. Alexander remained locked in his study, wrestling with whatever had taken hold of him after our conversation on the porch. I found myself in the nursery instead, watching Michael breathe steadily in his crib, trying to make sense of how our family had ended up back in the middle of another crisis so soon after we had finally found something resembling peace.David is back, I thought, the reality of it still difficult to fully absorb. He claims he has changed since everything at The Sanctum. Alexander refuses to believe a single word of it.I no longer knew who deserved my trust in this situation.I walked to the nursery window and looked out toward the guest house, which sat dark and quiet across the property. David was likely asleep by now, or at least pretending to be for the benefit of anyone watching.A soft knock sounded at the nursery door behind me."Elara." Vivian's voice carried

AlexanderThe gate opened just before noon.I watched from the study window as a black sedan made its way up the driveway, its windows tinted and its exterior deliberately unmarked, the kind of vehicle designed to attract as little attention as possible. I knew who had arrived before the driver's door had even opened, a certainty that settled into my chest with a weight I hadn't expected after everything that had already happened between us.David stepped out of the car, and the sight of him caught me off guard despite my preparation for this moment. He was thinner than I remembered from the last time we had spoken, his face gaunt in a way that suggested the months since The Sanctum had cost him more than his freedom alone. Grey had begun creeping into his hair at the temples, and his suit fit him poorly, as though he had borrowed it from someone who cared little about appearances. But his eyes hadn't changed at all. Those grey eyes, the ones he had inherited directly from me, moved

ALEXANDER David stood there with a smug grin that made my blood simmer as he looked at Elara like she was a new car he had just bought with my money. He had no idea that the woman standing next to him had already been claimed. Not by a ring, but by the memory of my hands on her skin. I kept my

ELARA Four days. It had been four days since the club. Four days since I let a stranger touch me in ways David never had. I felt guilty, yes. But I also felt alive. My skin still tingled when I thought about the man’s hands. Rough, scarred, possessive. He hadn't treated me like a mannequin. He h

ALEXANDER The club was quiet. That was the only reason I tolerated The Sanctum. It wasn't like the chaotic gambling floors of my casinos or the loud, desperate energy of the Strip. It was dark, smelled of leather and people knew better than to speak to me. I sat in the private suite, swirling a g

ELARAThe notification sound on my phone usually meant a sale on my website or an email from my agency. It was a soft ping, harmless and routine. I didn't hate the sound. In fact, I lived for it. It meant money in the bank, and money meant my parents didn’t have to sell their house in Ohio.But t
