The moment Cyprus Blackwell stepped through the studio doors, the atmosphere changed.

The stylists who had been bustling between racks instinctively stepped aside, clearing a path without anyone asking them to and assistants lowered their voices.

Olivia had never witnessed silence spread through a room so quickly.

He walked through the studio with confidence, one hand tucked into the pocket of his pants. His navy suit looked impeccably tailored, and his glasses caught the overhead lights as he

    Cyprus glanced at the time displayed on the corner of his phone before checking the date again, his thumb tapping absently against the edge of the device. It had been over twenty-six hours since he'd called Gaus.His frown deepened. That wasn't like him. Over the past three years, Gaus had proven himself worth every cent Cyprus had quietly funneled his way. The man had an uncanny ability to drift unnoticed through Solace's upper ranks, collecting conversations, presentations, and boardroom gossip as if people simply forgot he was in the room. More than once, Gaus' information had allowed Saint Liman to beat Solace to a supplier or anticipate a product launch months before it happened.Usually, Cyprus received an answer within hours, twelve hours, at the most. Even if Gaus didn't have the complete picture, he would send a brief message acknowledging he'd received the request.This time, there was nothing.There were only a handful of explanations. The first was that Solace had become u

    Hazel was brilliant.She knew she was brilliant because Ms. Lovette had told her so after coloring time."You stayed inside the lines the whole time," Ms. Lovette had said, smiling as she handed Hazel a special puzzle from the cupboard. "I think you're ready for a harder activity."Hazel had puffed out her chest so proudly she thought she might burst. The puzzle had a picture of the Powerpuff Girls flying through Townsville, and the box had said it was for children eight years and older. Hazel had grinned all the way back to her little table. She wasn't eight. She was only six!Now, after what felt like forever, she carefully pressed the very last piece into place. Click. Hazel gasped dramatically. "I did it!"Nobody answered because everyone else was busy doing other things, but that didn't matter. She had done it. She slid off her chair and crouched beside the table, resting both hands on her knees as she admired her masterpiece from a different angle.Blossom's red bow was perfectl

    His tone remained matter-of-fact and clinical, but Olivia caught the faint strain he tried to hide."I remember my parents, I know where I grew up." A humorless smile tugged briefly at one corner of his mouth. "But I forgot my father retired after his heart attack. I visited him one day and asked why he wasn't at work."His smile disappeared, and something tightened painfully inside Olivia's chest. "I forgot my mother had cut her hair for her sixtieth birthday and I complimented the haircut as if it was new. I forgot people I'd spent years in college with, men who claimed they had shared apartments with me. I had to pretend I remembered them because explaining the alternative became exhausting."Cyprus lifted his eyes to hers. "This is why I think you're lying, because my memory isn’t complete. I think we knew each other."Her heartbeat stumbled but she forced herself not to react."I think..." he continued slowly, choosing each word with care, "...that whatever happened between us di

    Olivia's fingers paused in the middle of cutting a slice off her pancake and tightened around the knife.For one terrifying second, she was certain Cyprus could hear the frantic pounding of her heart. It hammered so violently against her ribs that she wondered how it wasn't rattling the cutlery between them. Somehow, however, her face remained composed. Years in front of cameras had taught her the value of appearances. Fear could be buried under a pleasant smile. Panic could be hidden.Keeping her movements measured, she cut neatly into the stack of blueberry pancakes before her and lifted a bite to her mouth. She chewed slowly, as if the conversation had not taken an unexpected turn. It took every ounce of concentration she possessed to swallow without choking."What makes you think I lied?" she asked, her tone dry enough to suggest mild amusement rather than alarm. "And more importantly, why would I? What possible reason would I have to lie to someone I've only just met?"She was ab

    Olivia woke slowly, dragged toward consciousness by the relentless pounding behind her eyes.Morning sunlight filtered through floor-to-ceiling windows, slipping between charcoal curtains and spilling across polished wooden floors. The room was spacious and neat. Nothing was out of order. She frowned. Something about it tugged at her memory.Slowly, she pushed herself upright, wincing as another wave of dizziness swept over her. She pressed a hand against her forehead. "What on earth..." Her voice came out hoarse.She swung her legs over the side of the bed, waiting until the room stopped spinning before standing. Every muscle in her body protested the movement. "I am never drinking again," she muttered.The words barely left her mouth before another problem announced itself. She desperately needed the bathroom. Still rubbing her temples, she crossed the bedroom with sleepy familiarity. She reached for a door near the wardrobe and pulled it open.Instead of marble tiles and a bathtub,

    People were openly staring now and she heard a woman laugh. Someone else wolf-whistled. Olivia wanted the floor to open up and swallow her whole. "Oh my God."Her free hand flew instinctively to her face. The thought struck her like lightning. Phones! People would be recording!With a muffled groan of horror, she covered as much of her face as she could with both hands.If this ended up online... Livienne being carried out of a bar over some man's shoulder…She might actually die of embarrassment.Meanwhile, Cyprus walked calmly through the crowded room as if carrying a furious supermodel over his shoulder was the most ordinary thing in the world. Olivia could feel the strength in him with every step. His shoulder dug firmly against her stomach while one powerful arm held her securely in place despite her continued struggles. It infuriated her almost as much as the ridiculous flutter low in her stomach that she refused to acknowledge.Absolutely not. She was angry. She was mortified!
