(Author’s POV)Six grueling hours had bled away since the rescue operation first commenced, turning the late afternoon into a cold, menacing twilight. One by one, firefighters emerged from the ruined structure carrying survivors. Every time the doors opened, hundreds of anxious eyes turned toward them and every single time, three pairs of eyes searched desperately.Through every agonizing minute of those six hours, Owen, Ryan, and Ian had stood at the perimeter like unyielding sentinels of grief but not once throughout the entire evening did their steps falter toward the isolated area where the stretchers covered in heavy, dark blankets were being lined up.They consciously, violently rejected the existence of that space. To look toward it, to even walk in its direction, was to acknowledge a realit
(Author’s POV)Thousands of miles away from New York, under the blazing Mexican sun, Asher's day had started like any other shooting day. Directors were shouting instructions, and heavy camera cranes were swinging through the air.Asher Skylar stood at the center of the set, looking like a commanding action star. He was halfway through a scene, his focus absolute, when his manager, Damien, suddenly bypassed the security barriers.The director yelled in frustration, but the anger vanished the moment everyone saw Damien’s face. He was completely pale, his hands shaking as he approached Asher."Asher, stop. We need to go," Damien choked out, his voice trembling as he gripped the actor’s leather jacket.
(Author’s POV)Chaos had completely consumed the area around the mall. The massive shopping mall that had once been filled with laughter, families, and shoppers now looked like a battlefield. Some screamed names of loved ones trapped inside. Others sat on the pavement, injured and shaking.Paramedics rushed from one victim to another. Police struggled to maintain order. And above all of it, flames continued to consume parts of the building.Amidst this living nightmare, a car screeched to a halt right at the perimeter of the police barricades. The door flew open, and Owen Skylar stepped out.The public and the media were used to seeing Owen as an unshakeable, cold billionaire tycoon whose composure could freeze an entire boardroom. But today, for the first time, th
(Author's POV)The afternoon that had started so normally was about to turn into every Skylar brother's worst nightmare.Inside the floor-to-ceiling glass conference room of Skylar Enterprise, Owen Skylar sat at the head of a massive table. He was in the middle of an intensive, multi-million-dollar board meeting with international investors.Suddenly, the doors of the conference room burst open with a loud, echoing thud. Every single board member jumped, turning their heads in shock. Jason, Owen’s assistant, stumbled into the room. A thick sheet of cold sweat was breaking out across his forehead, and his chest was heaving with a violent, hyperventilating panic.Owen’s dark eyes flashed with an immediate, dangerous fury. He detested interruptions, especi
(Author’s POV)After carefully finalizing the perfect, limited-edition watch for Ian, Aurora felt an electric hum of pure happiness buzzing through her veins. She continued her window shopping, her eyes catching various beautiful displays. She paused outside a store, thinking of a sleek silk tie that would look exquisite on Ryan, a pair of custom cufflinks for Owen, and a rugged leather jacket that practically screamed Asher’s name. For herself, she merely smiled, completely content just soaking in the love that surrounded her.As she walked further down, a vibrant wave of sound echoed from the central atrium. A large crowd had gathered around a stage set up in the middle of the building. Bright lights flashed overhead. Music played through speakers. People clapped enthusiastically. It seemed to be a spontaneous talent showcase and interactive fun f
(Author's POV)The next afternoon, the sky was brilliant, reflecting the radiant mood that had taken over Aurora. As she stepped out of her bedroom, a breathtaking smile was firmly plastered onto her lips, her heart thumping against her ribs with an overwhelming mixture of intense pride and love.
