Alaric.

My phone vibrated on the polished surface of my desk. I glanced down, and when I saw Evelyn’s name flashing across the screen, a slow, dark smile curled the corners of my lips.

‘Right on cue,’ I thought, leaning back in my leather chair.

I knew exactly what Liam Kingsley had been up to. I knew the precise moment he had whisked Evelyn away on his private jet, and I knew the exact minute they landed back in New York.

Knowing Liam—knowing how desperately he tried to maintain his pristine,

    Dominic.The amber liquid swirled against the crystal glass, catching the low, bloody glow of the neon light overhead. It was three in the morning. Deranged Desires had been closed for hours, the thumping bass and the flashing strobes replaced by a suffocating, heavy silence that always seemed to creep into the lounge when the crowds went home.I sat in the deep leather booth of the private VIP room, my tie loosened, the top two buttons of my shirt undone. I stared blankly at the dark mahogany table.It had been a full, agonizing month since the world shattered at Memorial Sloan Kettering. No matter how much top-shelf bourbon I poured down my throat, the burn couldn't scald away the static in my head. I didn't want to think about it. I had forbidden my men from uttering her name in my presence, tearing up every useless surveillance report Marco brought to my desk. If she wanted to be a ghost, let her haunt the dark.But the silence didn't cure the rot. I was wallowing, sinking into

    Evelyn.The bell above the heavy oak door chimed, a bright, cheerful sound that always seemed out of place with the quiet static in my head.I smoothed down the front of the knit cardigan I was wearing, stepping out from behind the counter of The Thread & Needle. It was a small, dusty clothing boutique on Oakhaven’s main street, filled with the scent of cedar wood, linen spray, and aged wool. The owner, an elderly woman named Martha who walked with a heavy silver cane, had taken me on two weeks ago without asking a single question about why an overqualified girl was looking for part-time retail work."Good afternoon," I forced a polite, practiced smile onto my face as a tall man in a flannel shirt and heavy work boots stepped inside. "Let me know if you’re looking for anything specific.""Actually, I think I am," the man replied, dropping his keys onto the counter with a heavy clatter. He had a rugged, friendly face, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he gave me a slow, appreciati

    Liam.The swelling in my left eye had finally gone down, leaving behind a deep, ugly shade of yellowish-purple that even the most expensive designer sunglasses couldn’t hide. But the physical wreckage was nothing compared to the absolute silence that had settled over my life.I sat at my desk at the Kingsley Corps headquarters, staring blankly at a spreadsheet of quarterly projections. The numbers blurred together. For the past four days, my phone has been completely useless. Every time I looked at it, I was reminded of that cold, mechanical recording: The number you have dialed is unallocated or no longer in service.A soft knock sounded at my office door. I didn't even look up. "I said no disruptions."The door clicked open anyway, and the heavy, familiar scent of expensive French perfume flooded the room. I didn't need to lift my head to know it was Isabella.She closed the door quietly behind her, stepping into the office with soft, hesitant steps. She wore a tailored black dres

    Alaric.I pressed the ice pack harder against my jaw, wincing as the cold bit into the split skin. The blood had stopped oozing, but my face felt like it had been run over.Every breath I took rattled my ribs. Dominic Russo and Liam Kingsley certainly knew how to throw a punch. But the ache in my chest was worse.All these while, I saw her as a pawn, so why did my chest ache now that she’s gone? I finally got Liam and Dominic to lose the one thing they fought over, so why do I feel depressed?I looked over at the velvet tray on the dresser. Sending that video to ruin Kingsley had backfired so perfectly it was almost comical. I wanted to break her heart so she'd turn to me, but instead, I just drove her right into the abyss.The heavy double doors of my St. Regis' penthouse burst open as three men in dark grey suits marched into the room. I looked up to see Commander Edward Harrington, my mother's personal hound."Your Royal Highness," Harrington said, standing at absolute attention. "

    Evelyn.The world was entirely silent here, save for the rhythmic, soothing whisper of the wind moving through the pine trees.I sat on the edge of the worn wooden porch, a mug of black coffee cupped between my hands. The morning air in Oakhaven—a tiny, sleepy mountain town tucked far away from the borders of New York—was crisp and bitingly clean. It didn't smell like exhaust, hot asphalt, or expensive cologne. It just smelled like damp earth and pine.It had been three weeks since I threw my SIM card onto the highway. Three weeks since I became a ghost."Evelyn... sweetie?"My mother's voice, frail and raspy, floated through the open screened door. After a few days of setting up a new place for us, my mother had finally recognized me.I don’t know how, maybe because she wasn’t consistently on morphine, or maybe it was just a small town magic. But it had meant everything to me.I immediately stood up, setting my mug down, and hurried inside.Our new home was a small, two-bedroom cott

    Liam.The coffee on my desk had gone completely cold, but I couldn’t bring myself to touch it.I sat in my high-back leather chair at the Kingsley Corps headquarters, my eyes glued to the screen of my personal phone. For the past three hours, I had sent text after text to Evelyn.“Are you okay?”“Evelyn, please answer me.”“Did I do something wrong?”But there was nothing from her end, not even a read receipt.A sharp knock broke the silence of my office. My new assistant, a stern young man who lacked even a fraction of Evelyn's warmth, stepped inside holding a tablet. His expression was deeply uncomfortable."Mr. Kingsley," he started. "I know you explicitly stated you didn't want any media briefings this morning, but... this is trending globally. It involves Ms. Rowe. The public relations department needs to know if we are issuing a statement.""What are you talking about?" I asked, my brow furrowing as I reached out to take the tablet.The moment my eyes hit the screen, my heart st

    Liam.I leaned back in my chair as I swirled the amber liquid in my glass. It had been a week since the incident in the office and a week since I let Evelyn convince me to show mercy to the people who had tried to strip her of her dignity.I still didn't feel quite right about it. I mean, I’ve spen

    Alaric. It had been a week since I touched down in New York, and the silence from London was deafening. I made it a habit of checking the international tabloids every morning, bracing for the headline about the Disappearing Prince, but there was nothing. I should have expected it though. My mothe

    Liam.I arrived at the office earlier than usual. The blackout at the Obsidian the night before had left me on edge. My security team had spent the entire night running diagnostics, but they couldn't find a cause. A “glitch” in the grid was the official report, but I didn't get to where I am by be

    Dominic. I tried Evelyn’s number for the fifth time today, but the operator kept saying the same thing: “The number you’re trying to reach is not available.” I slammed my phone down on the table and paced around the living room of the house I got for her; the house she hadn’t been in since yester
