Dane emerged from his suite the next morning, looking every bit the picture of refined elegance in his trademark dark suit. Not a single hair was out of place in his meticulously styled coif as he made his way to the dining room where his mother awaited.

Mrs. Creighton looked up from her plate as her son entered, taking in his pristine appearance with a small, sad smile. No matter how grown and hardened he became, she could still see the sweet little boy he once was.

Her heart ached for those long-lost days of innocence and joy.

They ate their breakfast in tense silence after sharing their usual morning pleasantries.

Dane refused to meet his mother's searching gaze, focusing intently on his meal instead.

He could feel her eyes boring into him, pleading for him to open up and let her in like he used to as a child. But those days were gone. His life's purpose had become an all-consuming obsession that left no room for the gentle affections of family. Not anymore.

As Dane finished the la

I’m starting to understand the whole revenge thing a lot better but I don’t think Dane should punish Scarlet based on her father’s actions of ruining his family. I wanna know how Lincoln’s family plays into his revenge plot.

    ~Meanwhile~Dane prowled through his suite like a caged predator, every muscle coiled with barely contained violence.The storm in his mind refused to settle as rage and obsession fed off each other in an endless cycle.The previous attack had triggered his mother's protective instincts. Despite his cold assurances that the incident was amateur theater, she'd insisted he remain at the mansion.Her stubborn concern had trapped him at the worst possible moment.While he sat imprisoned here, playing dutiful son, Scarlett was walking down the aisle to another man.The thought sent fury coursing through his veins.Days of meticulous planning lay in ruins. He'd orchestrated the perfect disruption. All worthless now.This wasn't over.He’d pictured storming the garden venue and sending guests scattering like startled birds.Her pristine white dress catching fire, making the perfect wedding dissolve into beautiful chaos.The image of Scarlett's terror-stricken face as her fairy tale crumbled

    Lincoln's arms tightened around her as if he never intended to let go. When she looked up at him, she saw her own overwhelming emotions reflected in his tear-bright eyes."I love you, Lincoln," Scarlett whispered, reaching up to gently wipe the tears from his cheeks."I love you too," he replied in a voice breaking with joy. "Thank God you're finally here. Thank God you're mine."Before she could respond, he captured her lips in a kiss that was both tender and desperate, as if he were trying to pour every emotion he'd ever felt into that single moment.Scarlett melted into him, returning the kiss with equal fervor, dimly aware of the cheers and applause erupting around them.When they finally broke apart, Lincoln rested his forehead on hers with his hands gently smoothing her veil back into place.He peppered soft kisses across her cheeks and temples before they turned together to face the officiant, ready to speak the vows that would bind them forever.The priest laughed and stepped

    Days blurred together in a haze of wedding preparations, and suddenly Scarlett found herself standing before the mirror on what should have been the happiest day of her life.The ivory silk gown cascaded around her, with hand-sewn pearls and delicate lace.Every detail was perfection. From the sweetheart neckline that framed her collarbones to the cathedral train that pooled elegantly behind her.She should have felt beautiful. She should have felt joy. Instead, a hollow ache settled in her chest as she stared at her reflection. The woman looking back at her appeared radiant, glowing with bridal beauty, yet Scarlett felt like she was drowning beneath the surface of this fairy tale facade.Lincoln had to be her lifeline. He had to pull her from the suffocating terror that had consumed her for months.She needed him to remind her what it meant to breathe freely, to live without fear shadowing every moment.As she adjusted the cathedral-length veil, securing the vintage comb that had bel

    Dane stirred awake the next morning.The heaviness of sleep slowly lifted and the quiet of the room settled around him.For a moment, he let himself sink into the rare calm. It had been over a year since he’d last slept in this mansion… his sanctuary, the only place where silence wasn’t drowned out by the noise of his life.Hesitant shuffle of footsteps approaching his door made his gaze darken. He didn’t need to look to know it was one of the maids.“Get lost!” Dane’s bark cut through the stillness.The footsteps stopped abruptly and then retreated quickly before fading down the hall.Satisfied, Dane swung his legs over the edge of the bed and stood, stretching briefly before moving toward the balcony.He pushed the tall glass doors open and stepped outside, letting the cool morning air wash over him.The estate stretched out before him, bathed in soft sunlight. For a moment, he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, savoring the crispness of the air.Mornings like this were rare. They w

    Leaning closer, Dr. Stark lowered her voice to barely above a whisper. "Dane Creighton. A successful businessman on the surface, son of the most dangerous Minister. Yet underneath that polished exterior lies something monstrous." Her voice carried the weight of experiences that bound them together in unwanted sisterhood."I knew nothing about that sadistic bastard except his reputation for ruthlessness in business dealings," the doctor continued, bitterness seeping through her professional composure. "The rumors about his cruelty, his complete lack of empathy... I thought they were exaggerations, corporate gossip meant to intimidate competitors."She paused, her breathing becoming shallow as she forced herself to continue. "I was just another victim from one terrible night... instantly forgotten by him while he carved himself permanently into my memory like a horror movie on repeat.”Her voice shook with rage and anguish. "I couldn't believe he stood right in front of me earlier, comp

    ~Meanwhile~Scarlett's entire being burned with a thousand pinpricks of pain, each nerve ending screaming in protest as consciousness slowly returned.Her head felt impossibly heavy on the pillow, as if weighted down by lead.The metallic taste of blood lingered on her tongue, and her throat felt raw and parched. Yet through the haze of agony, warmth began to spread through her body, pulling her back from the edge of unconsciousness and into the harsh reality of the hospital room.She forced her eyes open and was immediately assaulted by the harsh fluorescent light that seemed to pierce straight through her skull.The sterile white ceiling above her blurred and shifted as she struggled to focus. Gradually, her vision adjusted to the brightness until Michael's face came into focus above her, his features etched with a combination of worry, relief, and barely contained rage."Scarlett, thank God you're awake." His voice cracked with raw emotion. "I should never have left you alone, not
