The office was silent.

Grace stood there holding the baby carefully against her chest, waiting for me to say something.

I looked away first.

Then gestured toward the chair in front of my desk.

“Sit.”

Grace hesitated briefly before lowering herself into the chair slowly. The baby stirred slightly in her arms and she immediately patted the child’s back gently.

I folded my hands together on the desk.

“So what do you want from me?”

Grace swallowed. Her eyes looked nervous meeting mine. “Is there… i

    Silence.“We are staying.”Ford frowned.Pierce looked unconvinced.Hayes looked worried.I forced a smile.“I just need a moment alone.”Nobody moved.“Please.”My voice softened.“Go back inside.”Still nobody moved.I laughed quietly.Honestly.My family was impossible.“Go show everyone that the Sterlings aren’t afraid of anything.”I pointed toward the ballroom.“Especially not some crazy woman begging for attention.”That finally earned a reluctant smile from Pierce.Good.At least someone still had a sense of humor.I turned before anybody could argue further, and walked away.The farther I moved from the ballroom, the quieter everything became.The music faded.The voices faded.The lights became softer.Cool air rushed across my skin.The Thames stretched endlessly into the darkness.The water reflected pieces of the city.The yacht moved gently beneath my feet.I reached an empty section of the deck.Nobody was there.Finally.I closed my eyes and breathed slowly.You’re oka

    Even with Pierce standing directly in front of me, Dominic’s eyes never left my face.It was infuriating.Like my brothers weren’t even there.Like nobody else existed.Like he could somehow look through them and still reach me.Ford stepped forward, folding his arms across his chest.“You don’t want to cause a scene like the last time.”The last time.The Met Gala after-party.The memory flashed through my mind immediately.Dominic’s jaw tightened.“Please,” he said.His voice sounded rough.Desperate.“I need to talk to you.”He wasn’t looking at anyone else but me.Always me.And for some reason that made me angrier than anything else.Because he didn't even look at me like that five years ago.Then suddenly another voice cut through everything.“I won’t let you walk away from me while I’m trying to talk to you!”Mirabel.She finally reached us.Her chest rose and fell rapidly.Her eyes burned with frustration.She looked desperate.And unfortunately for everyone involved, people h

    I walked away.And for the first time since seeing Mirabel Murphy step onto this yacht, I felt lighter.Enough to breathe.Enough to stop feeling like I was the girl I was before again.Enough to remember who the hell I was.The orchestra played somewhere behind me.Laughter drifted through the ballroom.Champagne glasses clinked.The party continued.And for once, I wasn’t carrying the weight of the past on my shoulders.At least not as heavily.I rounded a corner near one of the glass walls overlooking the river and nearly walked straight into Hayes.He caught my elbow before I collided with him.“There you are.”I blinked.“There I am.”His eyes narrowed slightly. “Where did you disappear to?”Before answering, I reached for a champagne flute from a passing waiter’s tray.“Thank you.”The waiter nodded and continued walking.I took a slow sip before looking back at Hayes.“I had some business to deal with.”That immediately got his attention.“What kind of business?”I smiled.“Mir

    Almost imperceptibly.But I saw it.Because I was looking for it.“Yes.”Her smile tightened.“I saw that online.”Of course she had.“I came to see it for myself.”“And?”The question left my lips softly.Yet somehow her shoulders stiffened.Interesting.Mirabel glanced around.Then back at me.“It seems that even after all this…”Her gaze swept over my dress.The jewelry.The mask.The success.“…you still couldn’t get over your ex-husband.”There it was.The real reason she approached.“Are you two planning to get back together?”Behind me, I could practically feel Ford’s anger.Pierce wasn’t doing much better.Before either could speak, I turned toward them.“Can you take Camille around?”Camille blinked.“What?”“Introduce her to people.”I smiled.“Maybe the movie industry.”Pierce immediately understood.Ford did too.This wasn’t a request.It was damage control.Because if they stayed, someone would be getting thrown off the yacht.Pierce looked at Mirabel.Then at me.Then no

    For a second, I forgot how to breathe.Humiliation.Betrayal.The divorce papers.The day I realised Dominic had always chosen her.Every memory crashed into me at once.I almost felt dizzy.Almost.Then reality returned.Five years.It had been five years.I wasn’t that woman anymore.I wasn’t the woman who built her entire world around a man.And I certainly wasn’t about to let Mirabel Murphy walk into a room and reduce me back into that person.Slowly, I straightened my back.Lifted my chin.Smoothed every trace of emotion from my face.Then took a slow sip of champagne.The bubbles burned slightly against my tongue.“Aurelia…”Dominic’s voice came quietly beside me.His hand brushed my shoulder.I ignored him.Completely.Instead, I turned toward Camille.“Let’s take a walk around.”Camille looked between Dominic and me.Then nodded.“Okay.”We started walking.I could feel Dominic’s eyes on my back.I refused to acknowledge it.Beside me, Camille kept glancing in my direction.Ev

    I took a slow sip of champagne.And somehow still not enough to distract me from the fact that Dominic Kings was standing somewhere behind half the people in this room.Beside me, Camille shifted slightly.“You want to walk to the other side?” she asked.I glanced at her.“Why?”She lifted one shoulder.“You seem uncomfortable.”I immediately shook my head.“No.”My answer came faster than necessary.“I’m fine here.”Camille studied me.I ignored it.“There’s no reason for me to run away every time I see him.”Her brows lifted slightly.Then she nodded.“Okay.”Several seconds passed.The orchestra shifted into another piece.People continued laughing.And then a hand landed briefly on my shoulder.I turned automatically.Before I could react, Hayes stepped in front of me.His gaze swept across the room once.Twice.Like he was searching for something.Or someone.“You good?” he asked.I blinked.Then raised a brow.“Yes?”His eyes narrowed slightly.Just slightly.“I just wanted to m

    The last sip of wine burned softly down my throat.I lowered the glass slowly while standing near the massive hotel windows, my eyes fixed on the city stretched endlessly beneath me.For a while, I simply stood there quietly with one arm folded beneath the other, the cool glass resting lightly agai

    The deep sound of his voice settled quietly across the room.“We build anticipation first,” he continued while glancing toward the projection screen. “Limited release. Controlled distribution. Expand later.”One of the Korean executives nodded thoughtfully.“That creates stronger long-term position

    The drive to the manufacturing company took nearly forty minutes.Seoul blurred past outside the tinted windows in streaks of silver buildings, crowded streets, glowing signboards, and cold morning light reflecting against wet pavement from last night’s rain.I sat quietly in the backseat beside Mi

    The next morning, I woke up before sunrise.The hotel suite was still dark except for the faint glow of Seoul’s city lights spilling through the massive windows across the room. Buildings stretched endlessly beneath the pale blue-black sky while thin streaks of headlights moved silently far below.
