Helen Vale

I had never understood why rich people seemed so calm all the time.

Growing up, I used to think it was confidence.

Then I thought it was arrogance.

Now, standing barefoot in a bedroom larger than my entire childhood home, I finally understood the truth.

It was security.

Money bought security.

Not happiness.

Not love.

Not peace.

Security.

The kind that allowed a person to sleep through the night without wondering how they would pay next month's bills. The kind that allowed a woman to

    Helen ValeI woke up the next morning with a smile so wide it almost hurt my cheeks. The nursery was quiet. The house felt lighter. Cleaner. Safer. Elder Morgan was gone — dragged away in chains like the criminal she was, screaming my name until her voice broke.I was free.I sat at the breakfast table practically glowing, my smile bright and genuine for the first time in weeks. My adoptive mother noticed immediately, reaching over to squeeze my hand with warm affection.“You look happy this morning, darling.”“I am,” I said, voice soft and sweet. “I feel… lighter. Like a weight has been lifted. Maybe we should go on a trip. Just the three of us. Somewhere warm. Somewhere far away from all the stress here. The baby would love the sea air, and I think we all deserve a break after everything that happened.”My father looked up from his newspaper, smiling indulgently.“That sounds like a wonderful idea. We haven’t taken a proper family holiday in years. We could go to the southern coast.

    Halen ValeI barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Elder Morgan sitting comfortably inside the nursery burned behind my lids like a brand. She moved through the estate as if she belonged there — folding blankets with practiced care, speaking softly to the servants, earning quiet nods of approval from the staff. Each small gesture felt like a blade pressed against my throat. She was settling in too well. Too quickly. And every hour she remained under this roof increased the chance that she would open her mouth and destroy everything I had spent years carefully constructing.I had built this life from nothing.I had learned their routines, their preferences, their weaknesses. I had molded myself into the perfect image of the daughter they had always wanted. And now Elder Morgan — my real mother, the woman who had once dragged me through the dirt of Blackthorn’s underbelly — was here, threatening to unravel it all with a single whispered truth.She could expo

    Helen ValePain was a strange thing. Before today, I had always imagined childbirth as something women exaggerated when they wanted sympathy. Lying in a private hospital suite that probably cost more per night than my old apartment had cost per month, I realized how stupid that assumption had been. Every contraction felt like my body was being torn apart from the inside. My fingers gripped the bedsheets so tightly my knuckles had turned white hours ago, yet the pain kept coming in relentless waves that left me breathless and trembling. Doctors moved around me. Nurses spoke in calm reassuring voices. Somewhere nearby I could hear my mother's voice cracking with worry while my father demanded updates every few minutes despite being repeatedly told to remain outside. The entire floor had practically been shut down because of me. Because I was supposedly their daughter. Their miracle. Their Katherine.The thought almost made me laugh.Instead another contraction hit and the laugh became a

    Tyrant Luciano ZarkovI stood motionless near the long table covered with fabric swatches, floral arrangements, and sketches of gowns while at least a dozen planners, tailors, and designers spoke over one another in hushed but urgent tones. The air carried the scent of fresh lilies, aged parchment, and the faint metallic tang of expensive ink. None of it held any interest for me.My attention remained fixed entirely on Katherine as she moved through the displays with an excitement that bordered on radiant. Her fingers trailed over deep emerald silks and delicate lace samples as though she were touching something sacred, her eyes sparkling with genuine joy when she selected the forest green fabric for her wedding gown — a rich, dark shade that reminded me of ancient woods and shadowed secrets. The tailor took her measurements with careful reverence, and I watched in silence as she described exactly what she wanted: elegant lines, subtle embroidery, something that felt like her. She wa

    Katherine Harrington“You've been avoiding me like the plague. Is there a reason for that?”The moment I stepped fully into the space, every servant present lowered their heads a little further. The atmosphere felt strangely formal, which immediately put me on edge.At the center sat Seraphina.Breakfast had already been served, with tea steaming quietly beside cm nufvoher plate and several untouched pastries nearby. Sunlight poured through the tall windows behind her, casting soft light across everything.She looked up the moment she heard my voice. For a second I caught a glimpse of something familiar. Then it vanished.“Lady Katherine.”Her tone was perfectly polite. Too polite. Immediately suspicious.I folded my arms. There it was again—that careful smile, that measured voice, that irritatingly proper posture. By tomorrow night to start eating properlyMoon Goddess. What had Percy done to this girl?“Please join me for breakfast.”I stared. Seraphina blinked once. I continued sta

The kind that made people stand a little straighter because the ground beneath them wasn't constantly threatening to disappear.For the first time in my life, I understood what that felt like.I stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows and stared out across the estate grounds stretching endlessly beyond the glass. Perfect gardens. Marble fountains. Luxury vehicles gliding silently along private roads. Uniformed staff moving through the proper
