Camilla.

“What the hell are you talking about!?” Grey’s voice boomed across the room, slicing through the tense air like a blade.

He was standing now, eyes wide, fists clenched, his whole body tight with rage and disbelief. Every pair of eyes in the room was on me—his parents, Maya, and even Nolan, who sat cluelessly on the rug, playing with one of Grey’s watches.

I didn’t flinch. Not once. I just looked him dead in the eyes, my fingers twitching slightly as I reached for the thick white envelope on the table between us. I held it up for a moment, letting the weight of what I was about to do sink in—for all of us. Then I tore it open with a slow, deliberate rip.

The silence was a living, breathing thing.

“Here,” I said, unfolding the sheets and handing them to Grey. “Read it for yourself.”

He hesitated. His hand trembled slightly as he took the papers from me, his knuckles turning white. His eyes scanned the text once… then again. His breathing grew shallow.

  • From Dust to Ashes: A scorned Bride    Chapter 95

    Grey.The moment I stepped into my house, an anger I hadn’t known I was capable of surged through me like a wildfire. My hands curled into fists so tight my knuckles went white. The stench of smoke still hung faintly in the air, and a blackened, charred smell clung to the walls of Kaidan’s room. But what made me see red wasn’t the damage, it was the fact that no one had noticed until it was almost too late.I didn’t even pause to take off my coat before I whipped out my phone, my fingers shaking with rage as I dialed the security team on duty. I barked out the command, “Get all of them here. Now.”Minutes later, every security guard who had been on duty at the time of the fire filed into the living room, faces tight with apprehension. The head of security, a stocky man named Briggs, stepped forward cautiously.“What the hell happened?” I demanded, voice low and dangerous. “How the fuck did a fire break out in Kaidan’s room and none of you noticed? I want you to look me in the face and

    Grey.I got home with the same anger that followed my from Benjamin's place. The moment I opened the door and saw Bryce standing there. My chest tightened with an unease I couldn’t shake. Without a word, I walked straight up to him, the words burning on my tongue before I even thought about them.“Why did you keep the truth from me?” My voice was sharper than I wanted it to be, but the frustration simmering inside me spilled out.Bryce looked at me like I’d lost my mind. His eyes narrowed, and he took a step forward, like he was ready to push back. “I never kept anything from you,” he said, voice low but steady.I swallowed hard, trying to make sense of his denial. “Then why didn’t you tell me the whole story? Why was I left in the dark?”His mouth twisted into a bitter smile, and then the words hit me like a slap. “Maybe because you act like a damn child. That’s why you’re so damn easy to manipulate.”For a moment, I just stared at him, disbelief flickering across my face. Then, ange

    Grey.I was halfway down the stairs, sliding my watch onto my wrist, when the scream tore through the hallway. And immediately I knew who it was.Camilla.“Cam?” I called, already sprinting up the steps.Another cry, shorter this time, like someone was silencing her.I didn’t knock. I slammed the door open.My mother’s hand was raised.“Hey!” I barked, loud enough to stop everything. Camilla flinched. My mother froze mid-swing. The room held its breath.“What the hell is going on?”My mother turned, her face a mask of betrayal and contempt. “Grey, get in here. Look at what this little..” She glanced at Camilla with disgust. “..this liar’s been hiding.”Camilla was shaking, cornered near the dresser, cheeks red, arms crossed over her chest protectively. She looked at me like I was her last defense.“I don’t know what’s happening,” she whispered.“Don’t play innocent,” my mother snapped. “Look.”She shoved her phone into my hands with such force I nearly dropped it. “This was sent to me

    Camilla.The morning light filtered softly through the cream curtains, casting a gentle glow across Liam’s tiny face as he suckled quietly. His small hands rested against my chest, warm and peaceful. I couldn't resist the urge to brush a kiss against his forehead, inhaling that sweet baby scent that only newborns seem to carry. My heart melted a little more every time I held him, I fell deeper.But even in that warmth, my mind buzzed with unease.Easton Corporation.My company. My father's legacy. The empire I bled for.And it was slipping away right under my nose.I had stayed away long enough, partly because of the recovery, and partly because Alexander insisted I needed rest, peace, and distance. But I could feel it in my bones now: today was the day. I couldn’t let Julia and Benjamin destroy everything. Not another minute.Liam drifted off to sleep, his lips parting gently as he slipped into dreams. I adjusted my blouse, laid him softly into his bassinet, and took one long breath

    Benjamin.Chaos. That’s all my life had become.I flew down the hotel stairs two at a time, my boots thudding against the marble like a war drum. I jumped into my car and started the engine with shaky hands, still hearing Santos’ words echoing in my head.“You work for me now.”Screw him. Screw this city. I needed to get out. Now.I hit the gas so hard the tires screeched, the smell of burning rubber curling into the air as I peeled out of the parking lot. I didn’t even look back. I couldn’t. If I did, I’d start second-guessing myself, and I didn’t have the luxury of time. Santos didn’t forgive. Santos didn’t forget. And Santos definitely didn’t let anyone run.I reached my apartment in what felt like minutes, though my heart was pounding like it’d been hours. My fingers fumbled with the keys. The damn door wouldn’t open.“Come on, come on!" I cursed under my breath, shaking until the lock finally clicked. I pushed through the door and didn’t even bother turning on the lights.There w

    Benjamin.I kept splashing cold water on my face, over and over, hoping, praying that it was the alcohol messing with my head. That I was hallucinating. That the woman sitting on my bed wasn’t who I thought she was.Rose.God, no. It couldn’t be her.My heartbeat thundered against my chest, the kind of beat that screamed something wasn’t right. I had seen her in the club. I wasn’t drunk enough to doubt my own damn eyes. The red wig, the confident sway in her hips. It was her. But she was confirmed dead. I’d been at the hospital. I saw the lifeless body, the cold silence of her skin, the white sheet pulled over her face. I heard the doctor say it out loud.“She is dead…”Still, I stayed in the bathroom longer than I needed to. I gripped the edges of the sink and stared at my reflection. “You’re seeing things,” I whispered to myself. “It’s not her. It can’t be.”But when I stepped out, she was still there.Sitting on the edge of my bed. Legs crossed. Wearing that stripper’s costume from
