Alexander laid Elara on the expansive bed of his penthouse. While living with his parents in the mansion provided a certain comfort, he had bought this place because he needed a sanctuary where he could truly unwind. Elara was the first woman he had ever brought here.

"Elara," he called out, his voice thick with a mix of worry and longing. "Lara," he repeated, gently prying open her lids that were sealed shut.

He found himself staring at her beautiful lips as she whispered a faint, "Yes," in th

    Elara pulled her car into the drop-off lane and The Sterling Academy. It was the most prestigious school in the district—safest, most advanced. The irony burned. The only thing that made her feel better was that it was managed by Evelyn, Alexander's mother. "Okay, my little lions," Elara said, turning around to face the backseat.Leo was already adjusting his tiny blazer, looking exactly like a miniature version of Alexander. Lyra, meanwhile, was busy stuffing a drawing into her backpack."Mom, do I have to go? I wanted to finish my painting," Lyra pouted, her big eyes searching Elara's."You can finish it in art class, Lyra," Elara smiled, reaching back to tuck a stray hair behind her daughter's ear. "Think of all the new friends you'll make. And Leo, remember what we talked about?""Protect Lyra, don't talk to strangers, and do my math first," Leo recited with a serious nod.Elara’s heart squeezed. He was so much like Alexander it was terrifying—the same focus, the same protective

    Alexander felt like he was about to throw up. He couldn't have Ethan anywhere near his Elara."You know what," he said, his voice strained. "I think I’ll pass. The deal is dead."Everyone in the room mirrored Elara’s expression of pure exasperation. Without another word, Alex turned on his heel and walked out of the conference room.Elara didn't hesitate. She followed him out, her heels clicking aggressively against the floor. "Are you fucking insane?" she asked loudly. The entire executive floor stopped to stare.Alexander didn't answer until he reached his office. He grabbed her by the arm, pulled her inside, and slammed the door shut. He inhaled deeply, trying to steady his racing heart."So let me get this straight," he said, pacing the room like a caged animal. "Alistair is your brother. And Ethan is the man you're currently seeing."Elara was shocked. He knew Ethan? But how? "It's none of your business," she snapped, crossing her arms over her chest.He stopped pacing and ran a

    "Sister?" Alex asked, his voice cracking as he stood there completely flabbergasted. "I didn't know—" He trailed off, looking between them as the gears finally turned. "Wait, Lara... is he...?"Elara nodded, her expression weary under the weight of the lobby's gaze. "He’s my brother. Alistair Vance.""So," Alex continued, his brain still struggling to catch up, "you guys are...""Siblings," Elara completed the sentence sharply. "Now, can we go home?"Alex’s eyes widened further as a memory clicked into place. "That's why Lyra called him uncle. That means..." He stepped closer, his voice dropping to a low, urgent whisper that ignored the crowd. "That means you found your mum? You found your family?"By now, Elara was fed up with the interrogation. The vulnerability of her past was being picked apart in a room full of strangers. "I think we're ready to leave now," she said, her voice hard."Wait," Alex said, reaching out instinctively. "I—I just—""You have no right to ask me things abo

    Elara pulled up to her estate gate, already exhausted from the emotional whiplash of the day. But the security guard stepped out of the booth, looking overwhelmed. "Ma'am, we have a... situation. These were delivered for you an hour ago."Behind the gate sat ten massive bouquets, each packed so tightly with tulips that they looked like solid walls of color. Ten bouquets, a thousand tulips each. Ten thousand flowers sat there, glowing under the streetlights. Elara reached out and pulled the small, cream-colored card from the nearest one."I'll love you a thousand times over. ~Love, Alex."Elara started coughing uncontrollably, the sheer audacity of the gesture hitting her like a physical blow. She clutched the card, her eyes watering. 'Ten thousand tulips? So now remembers?' "Ma'am? Where do you want them?" the guard asked, scratching his head.Elara tucked the card back into the petals and straightened her back, her face hardening into a mask of indifference. "Toss them," she said co

    Vivienne let out a laugh that sounded like glass breaking. "By the way, how’s your husband? Or boyfriend?" she asked, leaning back into the velvet cushions. "I honestly don't know who is who anymore. You seem to have so many men in your rotation, Lara."Elara summoned every bit of self-control she had left. Her fingers were still digging into her palms. 'Are Alex and his little whore obsessed with me?' she wondered. It felt like they were both constantly trying to trip her up, to make her look like the villain.Elara inhaled deeply, refusing to give Vivienne the satisfaction of a shouting match. She turned her head away from the snake on the sofa and looked directly at Evelyn. "I think that’s enough shopping for today, Auntie. I really need to get back to work. There are files I need to finish."She saw Vivienne’s smug expression out of the corner of her eye. Vivienne thought she had won. She thought she had embarrassed Elara in front of the one woman whose opinion still mattered to h

    Monday morning was a blur of spreadsheets and legal documents. Elara was so deep into her work that she didn't even notice her office door creak open."Can I come in?"The voice was soft, elegant, and instantly recognizable. Elara looked up and froze. Standing there was Evelyn Sterling—Alexander’s mother."Umm..." Elara stammered, her hands hovering over her keyboard. She didn't know what to say."I heard my sweet girl was back," Evelyn said, walking into the room with a graceful smile. "I had to come and verify that information for myself."Looking at her, Elara felt a sharp pain in her chest. Back in college, Eve had been the closest thing to a mother she ever had. Evelyn had loved her like her own child, protecting her and cheering her on when Elara had no one.But as Elara looked into those kind eyes, her heart felt like it was bleeding. This woman was a Sterling. She was part of the family that had destroyed Elara's father and stolen their legacy. The guilt of what she was plann

    Leo stayed quiet for a moment. He pouted, then finally spoke. "My name is Leo and my sister's name is Lyra. And my mummy..." He stopped for a second. "Can you help me find her? It is her first day at her new job. I want to wish her good luck."Alex felt his heart melt. What a sweet boy, he thought.

    Elara looked disappointed. "It wasn't you?""No!" Alistair brushed his hands through his hair, looking stressed. "Why am I only hearing about this now?""I... I didn't think much of it," she admitted, looking down."Okay," Alistair said, taking a deep breath. "Okay, Lara. I'll handle it."She watch

    Vivienne stared at the high-quality photos spread across her desk. Every time she looked at Elara’s face, her jaw throbbed with pain. She pressed a cold ice pack against her skin, but it did nothing to cool the fire in her chest.After she had complained to Alex about the attack at the ice cream sh
