The office had fully reclaimed its silence.

Lucien sat, finally, in the leather chair behind his desk. The bourbon glass sat untouched beside him now, the last amber drop catching a glimpse sliver of light. He ignored it. He ignored everything that still smelled faintly of Duvesa.

The moment she left, she stopped existing.

Work pulled him in like gravity.

He loosened his cuffs again, rolling his sleeves with precise, habitual motions, and tapped the keyboard. The monitor hummed awake, b

  • LOVE ME LIKE A CURSE   Chp-77 ; VLADIMIR AWAKENS

    The silence lasted only three heartbeats. Then— The Elder Memory Basin cracked. Not completely. Just one thin line. From its center to the edge. Everyone froze. Elder Maelis stepped backward. “That is impossible.” Elder Cassian’s hand immediately went to the ancient seal at his wrist. “Do not move.” No one did. The crack began to glow. Silver light spilled across the pale stone. Then the pillars surrounding the chamber went dark. One by one. Until the entire Memory Hall was swallowed by darkness. Elder Nyra whispered something in Old Valerian. { “Vael tharyn esh kor.”} Something has crossed the Court. Kaelith’s eyes narrowed. “Naer. Esh vael.” No. Someone has. Druvien looked around the chamber. “Who could enter without the wards answering?” Valerian’s expression hardened. “No living Elder.” The last word had barely left his mouth when— Footsteps sounded. One. Two. Three. Slow. Measured. Coming from behind them. Ever

  • LOVE ME LIKE A CURSE   Chp - 76 {Echoes of betrayal;-2}

    POV: THE ELDERS COURT ⸻ The chamber did not remain silent for long. ⸻ Beyond the great stone doors, footsteps multiplied. Measured. Deliberate. The sound of the Eldereth returning to their assigned positions echoed through the corridors beneath the Court. The inquiry had begun. And with it came the part none of them looked forward to. MEMORY EXTRACTION. ⸻ Seraphine walked alone through the eastern corridor. Her footsteps made almost no sound against the black stone. Her expression remained unchanged. Calm. Controlled. But beneath that composure, her thoughts moved quickly. The ritual had been hidden well. The chamber had been sealed. The incantation had been severed before the threshold could fully open. No witness had seen her enter. No record would show what she had attempted. At least… That was what she had believed. Until Elder Maelis sensed the disturbance. She turned down another corridor. Two Eldereth stood waiting near the entrance of the Memory Hall

    The date ended at 9:47 p.m. Arabella remembered because Julian had glanced at his watch twice during the drive home. She hadn't thought much of it. The evening had been… unexpectedly nice. Maybe a little intense, but nice. She had laughed more than she expected to. She had enjoyed the food. She had enjoyed talking to him a little. The car came to a smooth stop outside her apartment building. Julian turned off the engine. For a moment, neither of them moved. Then Arabella looked at him. “Thank you.” His eyes remained on her. “For what?” “The evening.” A faint smile touched his lips. “You're welcome.” She reached for the door handle. Then paused. “I had fun.” “I know.” She glanced at him. “You know?” “I could tell.” There was something about the way he said it that made her smile despite herself. “Goodnight, Julian.” “Goodnight, Arabella.” She stepped out. Arabella closed the car door gently. She stood on the pavement for a moment,

    The hours leading up to six passed far too quickly. Arabella hadn’t expected that. She thought the time would drag—stretch into something slow and almost unbearable, filled with second-guessing and overthinking. But, instead, it slipped through her fingers, one moment blending into the next until suddenly, she was standing in front of her mirror again. Dressed. Ready. Or at least… she was supposed to be. Her fingers hovered at her sides as she stared at her reflection, her gaze traveling slowly over the pale blue fabric that hugged her body in a way that felt unfamiliar. Different. The dress fell perfectly, the soft shimmer catching the light every time she shifted even slightly. The neckline dipped just enough to make her aware of it—aware of herself in a way she wasn’t used to. She looked… intentional. And that alone made her pulse quicken. Behind her, Rhea let out a low whistle. “Okay,” she said, stepping closer with narrowed eyes as she studied her refle

    POV: Arabella --- THE FOLLOWING MORNING; --- “Oh my God!” The words burst out of Arabella before she could stop them. She sat upright on her bed so suddenly the blanket slid halfway to the floor, her eyes wide as the realization slammed into her like a delayed lightning strike. “I totally forgot.” Her hand flew toward the phone lying beside her pillow. She grabbed it quickly and unlocked the screen, her heart beating a little faster now as she scrolled through her messages. There it was. Julian. The message stared back at her from the screen, timestamped from the evening before. Arabella pressed her lips together as she opened the chat. "Are you still open to going on a date with me tomorrow?" For a second, she simply stared at it. Then she groaned softly and dropped back against the headboard. “Great, Arabella,” she muttered under her breath. Julian had sent that yesterday. And she had completely forgotten to reply. Not ignored. Not intentional

    POV: Arabella --- The next day; --- Sunlight had already climbed higher in the sky, spilling across the floor of her room in wide golden strips that crept slowly toward the edge of her bed. Her brow furrowed slightly as the word drifted through her thoughts again, stubborn and unanswered. Arabella rolled onto her side and reached for her phone on the bedside table. “If the internet doesn’t know,” she murmured groggily, unlocking the screen,She pushed herself up against the headboard and opened her browser first out of habit, staring briefly at the empty search bar before shaking her head.“No… not that again.”Instead, she tapped another app.Google Maps.The screen brightened with the familiar map of the city, little streets and districts spreading outward in neat grids around the blinking blue dot that marked her location.Arabella shifted slightly, tucking one leg beneath her as she zoomed out a little and typed into the search bar at the top.Libraries near meThe map a
