ELARA

“Here, tell me what all that was about,” I said to Leo, quickly firing off a text to Zara about work.

I’ve never been good at making decisions, and this one already felt like a mistake. I shouldn’t have let him drive me home. And how many times had Adrian Blackwood just appeared out of nowhere to bail me out? Three times now. It was getting ridiculous.

He was exactly the kind of man I needed to stay far away from—I was sure of it. Still, my heart had been pounding the whole time he looked

    My heartbeat quickened the second our eyes met. A strange flutter spread through my stomach, and it felt almost wrong to keep looking at him like I was crossing some invisible line. I wanted to turn away, but his gaze held me there.I swirled the half-full glass of white wine in my hand, unable to stop watching him.“What’s he doing here?” I asked Lily.Like most of the women in the room, Lily was completely captivated by Adrian Blackwood.“He’s one of the sponsors. A big name in Garnet,” she said dreamily.I already knew that, but it still didn’t explain why he was at this party.“But why is he here? Sponsors weren’t even invited.”“Who knows? I’m just happy I got to see him. He’s so handsome… My heart can’t handle it.”I sighed, finished off my wine in one gulp, and set the glass on the bar.The party had been thrown together at the last minute to welcome Adrian for his huge investment in the movie. I hadn’t packed anything fancy since I thought this trip was strictly work.My phone

    Victor came striding toward me with a deep scowl etched across his face. Lily shifted nervously at my side. “So you’re here. How?” he demanded, hands shoved deep into his khaki pants.“Same way you are,” I shot back.“Where’s that guy?” he asked, glancing around as if he expected the intimidating stranger to pop out any second. “Who was he anyway? You know him?”“Why do you care so much about my business?” I replied, crossing my arms over my chest.One of his eyebrows shot up. The usual smug smirk was nowhere to be seen his face actually looked serious for once.“I’m not concerned, Elara Vale,” he said in that irritating tone of his. “Just figured you must’ve done something for him to pull you away like that. Who is he? Your sugar daddy or something?”“He is not my sugar daddy!”Victor sneered. “I think he is. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.”Talking to him always made my blood boil. He was the biggest asshole I’d ever met. I huffed, spun on my heel, and walked away without another word

    I’d never stepped foot inside a private jet before, but here I was, sitting in Adrian’s. I still couldn’t quite believe how I’d ended up here. After that possessive confession in the car, my knees had turned to jelly and I didn’t have the strength to say no when he offered to fly me to the Maldives with him.I kept worrying about what Zara would think. Even though Adrian had promised he’d already spoken to her, the panic wouldn’t leave me alone.I tried closing my eyes to get some sleep, but I could feel Adrian watching me the whole time. I shifted in my seat and pressed my lips together. A soft chuckle came from beside me, so I finally gave in and opened my eyes.“What?” I asked.“You’re cute,” he said with a quiet laugh, his eyes warm with affection. My cheeks heated up instantly, and I tried to hide it. This man could make me blush with barely any effort.“Stop staring at me and let me sleep,” I muttered, shooting him a look.His lips twitched in amusement as he closed the laptop o

    He smirked that dangerous, devilish smile that always turned my knees to jelly. Everything suddenly made sense. Adrian was the boss who’d asked to see me, and this serious-looking man had to be one of his bodyguards.“You called for me… why?” I asked.Adrian leaned closer in his seat. For a split second I thought he was about to kiss me, but he was only pulling the door I’d left open shut.Heat flooded my cheeks. Mortified, I looked away.He settled back and said, “Because I wanted to see you, Moonshine.”Every time he called me that, something fluttered inside my chest and stirred up a whole storm of feelings.“I-I was clear last time,” I said quickly. “We shouldn’t be meeting like this. There can’t be anything between—”He didn’t let me finish.His mouth crashed into mine.My eyes flew open and my toes curled as his warm lips claimed me. His arm slid around my back, pulling me closer while he took full control of the kiss. I tried to resist, but it was pointless. A soft moan escaped

    I froze, completely thrown off.“What?”That was the last thing I’d expected to hear.None of it made any sense.I glanced over at Victor.That smug little smirk was plastered on his face as he winked at me.Asshole.“He can’t stand me. Why would he say that?” I asked, still baffled that he’d told Zara not to replace me.Zara just shrugged, like it was nothing.“You should be grateful. Whatever his reasons are, at least you get to keep the job, right?”“Yeah… but—”“Get back to work, Elara. And don’t forget what I told you,” she said, already walking off.My shoulders slumped.I really didn’t want to work with him at all.The idiot had made me his makeup artist just to mess with me and keep me on edge.I shot him a glare while he lounged there, clearly loving every second of my discomfort.There was nothing I could do about it, so I took a deep breath and headed over.Vivian hadn’t shown up yet, which was a small mercy no snide comments to deal with right away.He was sprawled in the

    ELARAPeople have no clue how much their dirty looks and hushed whispers can destroy someone. I felt every single one of them. Thanks to Adrian’s surprise visit and Vivian’s explosive outburst, I’d become the hottest topic of gossip throughout the entire company. Now everyone saw me as the shameless homewrecker who tried to steal Vivian’s man the so-called power couple the media couldn’t stop talking about.I kept wondering how long it would take for them to get bored and move on to the next scandal.When I found out Adrian had shown up right after I left him, I was hit with a mix of shock, curiosity, and nerves. Stacy wasn’t sure exactly what happened between him and Vivian, but she figured he’d come to clear the air. She was the only one in the whole place who actually believed me and didn’t look at me like I was guilty. I couldn’t even begin to tell her how grateful I was for that.I kept my chin up and ignored the murmurs as I walked through the foyer. Zara had called me earlier w

    The flight prices in April were insane pretty much double what they cost any other month. I held Jaime’s hand tightly as we walked down the narrow hallway after clearing customs. The moment the plane’s wheels touched the runway, a huge wave of nostalgia hit me. I was back in New York. After six lon

    I hadn’t kept up with any of my high school friends except for Clara Bennett. It still caught me off guard sometimes, how we’d stayed close through all the hard times. When her parents split and she fell apart senior year, I never left her side. And when my own parents kicked me out six years ago a

    **SIX YEARS LATER**“It looks gorgeous!” Freya Evergreen beamed as she admired her reflection in the mirror. The smoky eyes, sculpted cheekbones, and soft nude lipstick gave her that expensive, polished glow that always turned heads.She turned to me with a bright smile. “I love what you did! If yo

    “…what were you doing at the hospital? What abortion?” Mom’s voice was shaking so hard it filled my ear.“Mom, calm down. I’ll explain everything, I promise. I’ll tell you tonight when I come over for dinner.”“You really know how to give me a heart attack. Fine. Just come early,” she sighed.“Bye,
