Maya

"This is our dressing room. Make sure all outfits are arranged on their racks. If you need any assistance, you know where to find me."

I didn't miss the sarcasm in her voice. The way she was looking at me—not in a good way—almost pushed me into asking if she was one of her boss's fuck buddies. I had seen the way she fixed her eyes on Roman when we walked into the club earlier.

I didn't really care whether she liked me or not—it didn't matter if no one in the club fancied me. I was here for myself, not to impress anyone.

Including the owner of the club—Roman Volkov—who thought he could control me. We hadn't really said a word to each other since last night's conversation, or rather, I hadn't allowed him to see through me again.

It was a mistake to let him see how much I wanted freedom. How much I wanted to do things for myself instead of having them done or handed to me. I had allowed him to see my vulnerability, and I hated how he looked at me—with pity.

I didn't want to be pitie

    MayaA few months later..."Where the hell is the cake?! It was supposed to be at the hall an hour ago!" Cassie's voice practically rattled the dressing room walls. She had her phone pressed to her ear, pacing back and forth in her silk robe, curls bouncing with every furious step.I sat quietly in front of the mirror as my makeup artist brushed soft rose tones over my eyelids, pretending not to notice the drama unfolding in front of me."Yes, I know it's traffic, but this is a wedding, not a picnic!" Cassie barked, rolling her eyes so hard I thought they might get stuck. "If that cake doesn't make it in the next twenty minutes, I swear—"She hung up and tossed her phone onto the vanity with a dramatic sigh."Cass," I said trying not to laugh, "take it easy."Her head snapped toward me, eyes blazing. "Take it easy? Maya, you're about to get married! We've been planning this day for months. Roman specifically told me to make sure everything runs perfectly. Perfectly! Do you know how te

    MayaWe took the first morning flight back to New York. And the first place we branched was my parents' house. Chaos was already brewing. A crowd of reporters lined the gates, cameras flashing, voices rising above one another as they tried to get a statement."Miss Hartwell! Do you have a comment about your father's alleged fraud?""Is it true Hartwell Enterprises is collapsing?""Will your father be stepping down as chairman?"The questions blurred together into noise. My pulse quickened, but Leo and Ethan moved swiftly, forming a tight wall around Roman and me as we made our way through the crowd. They didn't hesitate, blocking cameras and microphones while guiding us toward the door.I kept my head down, clutching Roman's hand as we pushed through the chaos. With their help, we finally slipped inside away from the flashing lights and judgmental stares.Inside, the air was eerily quiet. The only sound came from the low murmur of the television. My father was in the living room, seat

    Maya"I still can't believe all this is happening Maya," Cassie said, her voice faintly static through the phone.I sighed, pressing a hand to my temple. "Yeah. The headlines are still going, but Roman's handling things. He's been digging into Damien's dirty records with Leo and Ethan since dawn." My gaze drifted toward the staircase, the soundless hall stretching before me. The stairs were empty, but I could imagine them upstairs filling in the gaps.I forced myself to focus back on the call. "I also spoke to Dad earlier," I continued. "He might be charged for some things minor, mostly about documentation and failed oversight but Damien's the real culprit. He'll pay for what he's done. Roman's making sure of that.""That's good then. When are you coming back to New York?""Any moment," I replied. "Dad told me to stay here a little longer at least until the media frenzy dies down. But I'll head back once this storm settles. I need to be there. For my family."Cassie exhaled on the ot

    MayaWhen I woke up, the bed was empty. The sheets beside me were still warm, his scent clinging to the pillow. Last night... was a lot. For the first time, Roman had let me see a part of him no one else had ever seen the side that bled, broke, and ached in silence. He was really hurting.Having to carry hate and vengeance all your life for a man, only to find out you were the enemy all along it was cruel. Never did I imagine the truth would twist like this. Roman had hated Palermo for years, blaming him for his parents' deaths. But in reality, it was his father who had caused Palermo's only son's death.And now, Roman was the one drowning in guilt.Truth be told, it had to be the most painful thing to realize.I sighed softly, pushing myself out of bed. After a quick shower, I came out wrapped in a towel and noticed my phone vibrating on the nightstand it must have buzzed earlier when I went to the bathroom. I reached for it and unlocked the screen. It was a message from my mother.H

    RomanThe night refused to end. I sat by the window, watching the city lights flicker through the fog, each one a reminder of how far I'd fallen from the truth. I used to think vengeance made me righteous that every life I took was for something noble. For my parents. For the injustice they suffered.But now...Now I knew better.They weren't victims.They were the reason a boy died. And I'd spent my whole damn life hunting a man who'd only been protecting what was his.A bitter laugh slipped out of me. I should've known nothing in this world came clean. Not love, not loyalty, not family. My father had sold another man's child to his enemies. For money. For greed. And because of that, I'd built my entire life on a lie.I clenched my fists. The guilt felt like poison in my veins. How was I supposed to fix this? What could I possibly do to make things right?Part of me wanted to give Palermo everything his peace, his justice even if it meant losing everything I had left. Maybe that would

    Maya"Dinner's ready!" I called out from the dining room, setting the last plate on the table. I made pasta, grilled chicken and salad. Leo and Ethan were sprawled on the couch in the living room, half watching some late-night news report. Leo was the first to respond with a lazy "Coming!" while Ethan didn't even look up from his phone.They both joined me a minute later, pulling out chairs. But the one person I wanted to see still hadn't shown up."Is Roman not going to come down for dinner?" I asked, trying to sound casual, though the worry in my tone gave me away.Leo exchanged a glance with Ethan, then cleared his throat. "Boss seemed... very busy."Busy. Right. That was what he always said lately. Busy. Tired. Fine. Words that meant absolutely nothing.I sighed, grabbed an extra plate, and arranged the food on it, trying not to show the frustration bubbling inside me. "I'll take it to him," I said quietly.The men didn't argue. They just went back to eating.When I reached his r
