KIERAN

A sharp knock at the door interrupts Kieran’s thoughts.

He strides across the room and yanks it open without a word.

Dr. Sharma stands in the hallway with medical bag in hand. Her expression is caught between concern and disapproval. Behind her composure, lies the flicker of fear. She knows what he is, what he is capable of.

But being a doctor gives her just enough courage to speak.

"Mr. Westfield." Her voice is careful while her eyes dart past him toward the bed where Elise lies motionless. "I’ve been informed that Mrs. Westfield requires medical attention."

Kieran steps aside without a word, allowing her entry. He doesn't need to ask who might have called the doctor here when Vincent had been in the car with them.

Dr. Sharma moves quickly to the bedside, setting down her bag and beginning her examination.

Her hands are gentle as she checks Elise's pulse, her breathing, then carefully parts the bathrobe to assess the damage.

    ELISEThe world seems to tilt on its axis and the temperature in the room drops several degrees.Kieran's presence fills every corner like a physical force.He's dressed impeccably in a charcoal suit, and his expression looks carved from ice.His eyes are what make my breath catch. They are utterly devoid of mercy.The chaos that had erupted moments ago… the shouting, the scuffling, the violence… all stops instantly.Vincent freezes mid-punch with his fist suspended inches from Matthew's face while the other guards stumble back, their bravado evaporating like morning mist. Even my father, who moments ago was red-faced and bellowing orders, goes silent.Everyone in this room knows who Kieran Westfield is. Everyone in this room is terrified of him.The Westfield name carries weight in this city and the entire country of Cassovile. It carries fear.Kieran's family built their empire on steel and ruthlessness, and he's proven himself to be the most dangerous of them all. There are rumors

    ELISEThe silence that follows is deafening. Then my father's lips curve into a cold smile."Very well." He turns to address the room. "All those in favor of removing Elise Blackwood from her position as heir and transferring full control to myself, Henry Blackwood, please raise your hand."For a moment, no one moves.The air in the boardroom feels thick and suffocating.I can hear my own heartbeat thundering in my ears, can feel the weight of every single pair of eyes in this room. Some are sympathetic. Most are calculating. All of them are waiting to see which way the wind will blow before they commit.And then, one of the Directors slowly raises his hand.A man who's been with this company for fifteen years. A man who attended my mother's funeral and told me he'd support me through anything.My stomach drops.Another hand follows… one belonging to director who worked directly under my grandfather. Then another, someone I personally promoted last year.One by one, like dominoes fall

    ELISE"Ma’am," Vincent begin quietly. "Whatever happens up there, we have your back."I glance at him, surprised by the gentleness in his tone. Vincent has always been professional, distant. But now, there's something else in his eyes. Loyalty. Maybe even respect."Thank you," I say softly.The elevator chimes as we reach the top floor, and the doors slide open.Immediately, I hear voices. Raised, argumentative, coming from the boardroom at the end of the hall.My father's voice rises above the rest, authoritative and commanding. "We need to act quickly. Elise has proven herself unfit to lead this company. For the sake of our future, we must remove her from her position before she causes any more damage."My hands curl into fists.I stride down the hallway, Vincent and the bodyguards flanking me.The executive floor is eerily quiet, most of the staff likely gathered in the boardroom for the meeting. The meeting about my future. About my removal.When we reach the boardroom doors, I do

    ELISEThe crowd surges forward immediately. Bodies press against the barriers, cameras thrust into the air, voices rising to a deafening crescendo.Vincent pulls up to the curb, and before the vehicle even comes to a complete stop, the paparazzi descend like vultures.They swarm the vehicle. The flashes are blinding, relentless, turning the world into a strobe of white light.Vincent throws the car into park and turns to me. "Stay close to me. Don't stop, don't engage. Just keep moving."I nod, my heart hammering in my ribs.He steps out first, his massive frame immediately creating a barrier between me and the crowd.I take a breath, steeling myself, then push open the door. The noise hits me like a physical force.It's overwhelming. The shouts, the flashes, the press of bodies trying to break through.They erupt into a frenzy the moment I step out of the car."There she is! Elise Blackwood, the woman who nearly killed her pregnant stepsister's baby!""Elise Blackwood! Did you orches

    ELISEI forget the pain, forget the exhaustion. Forget everything except the rage that ignites in my chest like wildfire.I throw the blanket off and swing my legs over the side of the bed, ignoring the way my body protests.My feet hit the cold floor, and I'm moving before I even register the decision."Elise? Elise, are you there?" Mia's voice follows me, tinny and distant through the speaker.I don't answer.I stumble toward the bathroom, my reflection catching in the mirror, and I freeze.I look like a ghost.My eyes are shadowed, dark circles like bruises beneath them. My neck is a canvas of hickeys… of purple and red marks trailing down to my collarbone. My lips are swollen and my hair a tangled mess.I look battered. Utterly wrecked.For a moment, I just stare at myself, my chest heaving.Then I drag myself into the shower, turning the water as hot as I can stand. It scalds my skin, but I welcome the pain. It grounds me, sharpens the fury burning in my veins.I scrub every inch
