He didn’t let go of her hand.

Instead he drew her forward — gently, without force, just enough to make the choice clear — and she stepped inside without deciding to, and the door closed behind them and suddenly she was in his house and the evening was outside and there was no Julian and no boutique and no dress.

Just this.

He guided her back until her shoulders were against the wall. Not roughly. The careful kind — the kind that says stay, just for a moment, just long enough to hear me.

    After Serene left, the silence she’d left behind felt heavier than her presence ever had. Elara sighed, guilt sitting in her chest like a stone. She hadn’t believed Julian. Not at first. And now that the truth had settled, she couldn’t shake the shame of it.She crossed the room to him. “Julian,” she said, her voice low, careful. “I am truly sorry for not believing you. Besides, I—”Julian rested a hand on her shoulder before she could finish. “It’s okay. I can’t blame you. Even Victor thought that way once, so it’s not a surprise at all. I understand where you’re coming from.” He paused, meeting her eyes. “But trust me — I could never do something like that.”Across the room, Victor said nothing. He only sighed, arms crossed, jaw tight.Elara walked over to him. “Please tell me you didn’t believe that girl. Julian is innocent.”Victor gave a slow nod, then moved past her toward Julian. “Can I have that audio? If you don’t mind.”Julian let out an awkward laugh. “It’s already over. Wh

    Chapter — The AccusationVictor stared at Elara as she moved quickly through the crowd, urging the guests toward the gate. This was family business now — nothing outsiders needed to witness.“Please, I’m so sorry — please go,” she said, ushering them out one by one. They filed away in murmuring clusters, confused and reluctant, throwing glances back over their shoulders until the last of them disappeared through the gate. Victor took Daniel’s small hand in his own, holding him close.Once the yard had emptied, Elara rounded on Serene, her composure finally breaking. “How could you? How could you come here and ruin a dead man’s day like this? Are you truly that shameless? Do you hate me that much?”Serene folded her arms, a slow smile curling at her lips. “Yes. I hate you that much.”Victor caught Maya’s eye and gave a small nod, signaling her to take Daniel somewhere else — away from whatever this was about to become.“But I couldn’t let you marry a murderer,” Serene continued, unboth

    Chapter — A Father’s DayElara and Victor had long agreed that this day belonged to him — to celebrating his father’s life once Victor returned. And now the day had finally arrived. The preparations had been heavy, meticulous, almost frantic in their thoroughness. So many guests were expected that the family had moved the entire function outside into the yard, where rows of white chairs faced a small platform banked with flowers.Elara turned to Jules, unable to shake the knot in her stomach. “Do you think Victor will come?”Jules sighed, exasperated. “Why are you even worried? Didn’t you tell me you invited him yourself? I’m pretty sure he’ll come.”“Yes, I just don’t want him to look bad, that’s all,” Elara said, her voice carefully polite, carefully even.They turned back to the guests trickling in through the garden gate. Daniel stood off to the side with Maya, his small hand tucked into hers. Then Julian arrived, striding up the path with the unhurried confidence that always seem

    Victor stood in his doorway and watched Elara cross the road.She hadn’t said much — handed him the bag, rattled off the morning schedule with the efficient precision of someone who had prepared it in advance, kissed Daniel on the forehead and left. No lingering. No explanation. Just the quiet click of her front door closing behind her and the distant sound of Julian’s voice somewhere inside.He stood there for a moment longer than he needed to.Then he closed his own door.He reached for his phone. Considered calling her. Set it down again. Watched, through the front window, Julian’s silhouette moving across her living room, and felt the familiar weight of a decision he’d already made settle back across his shoulders.You let her go, he reminded himself. That’s what you decided. So let her go.He turned away from the window.“Let’s go up, champ,” he said.Silence.He looked toward the stairs. Daniel was on the third step, arms folded, bottom lip deployed with surgical precision.“Dad

    The partners looked across the table at Elara and smiled warmly.“Thank you for sparing us a few minutes,” the older one said. “We know it’s a great deal to ask — given that you’re barely days away from your wedding.”Elara nodded graciously. “I had to come. Whatever you had to tell me was worth hearing in person.”They glanced between her and Victor with the satisfied expressions of people about to deliver good news.“You two have been exceptional,” the second one said. “Trustworthy, consistent, thorough. Honestly — we’re impressed.” He paused, then smiled. “When I heard you were getting married, I confess my first thought was that it must be Mr. Victor.”Victor produced a professionally polished chuckle. “No, Sir,” he said, his voice entirely even. “Not me.”Elara swallowed quietly and kept her expression pleasant.“Well then,” the first partner continued, setting his hands on the table. “Here is what we wanted to discuss. We’ve been reviewing the communities your project serves, an

    Jules closed the guest room door behind them and turned to face Julian with the particular expression of someone who has run out of diplomatic options.“What is wrong with you?”Julian exhaled sharply and sat on the edge of the bed. “You dragged me up here to lecture me?”“I dragged you up here,” Jules said, her voice dropping to something quieter but no less firm, “so you wouldn’t say something in front of Elara that you can’t take back. Don’t go hard on her. Don’t make things harder than they already are for her. She’s grieving, Julian.”He scoffed. “And what about what I’m going through? My father just died too, in case everyone seems to have forgotten—”“I haven’t forgotten.” Jules looked at him steadily. “But you need to do better than what just happened downstairs.”“And you,” Julian said, his voice sharpening, “need to stop telling me what to do in my own relationship. How dare you—”“I don’t think,” Jules sa
