DAPHNE YILDIZ WHITE

It was a grueling, agonizing choice to leave Cara’s bedside, but I had to force my boots to clear the hospital doors. Despite every single cell in my body screaming at me to stay, I knew this temporary departure was the only tactical play left on the board to protect the magnificent fashion house she had built and bled for.

Even though our time apart would be brief, the distance felt like an absolute eternity. I officially entrusted Kazzy to look after her perimeter, know

    3rd Person Perspective Meanwhile, back at the headquarters, the atmosphere on the design floor had descended into absolute chaos the moment the glass doors shut behind Daphne. The frantic rustling of sketches and the hyperventilating sighs of the assistants quickly turned into a barrage of finger-pointing. The staff could not stop themselves from piling the blame entirely on Nessa. "What were you thinking, Nessa?!" one of the senior pattern makers hissed, tossing a handful of ruined blueprints onto the central cutting table. "You wanted to play your little hazing games with the new hire, and now you’ve tanked the entire season launch for the rest of us!" "I didn't know!" Nessa yelled back, her voice cracking as she desperately tried to defend herself against the turning tide. Her hands trembled as she clutched the tech packs Daphne had overhauled. "How was I supposed to know she was Miss Cara’s sister-in-law? She didn't say anything yesterday!" "Because she has class, unli

    3RD Person Perspective From behind, not so far away from where the tension was suffocating the room, a soft chuckle slipped from Cara's lips. She caught herself and stopped it immediately before it could draw any unwanted attention from the panicked staff, but the amused smile refused to leave her face. Her dark eyes remained locked entirely on Daphne, gleaming with a dangerous, proud fascination. Daphne felt her gaze and turned slightly, looking right back at her. Instead of turning away or playing the timid new hire, Daphne smiled back with absolute, unshakeable confidence. The quiet exchange hummed between them, invisible to everyone else in the room. Nessa and the assistants were too busy drowning in their own sudden panic to notice the unspoken language passing between the CEO and the new designer. For a brief second, the stifling weight of the family rumors faded away. Cara’s possessive fury was temporarily replaced by a deep, intoxicating realization: Daphne di

  • LOVE TRIANGLE   CHAPTER 78

    DAPHNE POV I forced a perfectly calm, elegant smile onto my face, matching Nessa’s newly discovered politeness beat for beat. "Thank you, Nessa. I appreciate the warm welcome," I replied smoothly, my voice projecting a level of grace that completely disarmed her. "I’m just glad I could help the team get back on track for the launch." The collective sigh of relief from the design assistants was almost loud enough to hear. Nessa visibly relaxed, clearly thinking she had successfully dodged a bullet and gotten into the good graces of the owner's family. But behind my serene mask, a dark, calculating thrill settled into my veins. I had absolutely no intention of letting her off the hook. Deep inside, I was already mapping out how to make Nessa's professional life a little bit of a disaster. She had targeted me when she thought I was a helpless newcomer, testing my limits with impossible deadlines and hostile hazing. Now that she had handed me the perfect weapon on a silver p

    The next morning arrived with a brutal, unforgiving sharpness. The warm amber lights and breathless intimacy of Cara’s office were replaced by the clinical, fluorescent glare of the design floor. Our professional masks were locked back into place, but the atmosphere inside the department was completely different from the day before. It was dead silent. When I walked toward my desk, nobody scoffed. Nobody whispered. Instead, a heavy, suffocating shock hung in the air. Nessa was standing by the central cutting table, holding the flawlessly completed tech packs I had sent the night before, but she wasn’t looking at the designs. She, along with the rest of the staff, was staring at me with wide, completely stunned eyes. The rumor mill had completely shattered our cover—but not in the way we had feared. A high-profile leak from a family acquaintance had spread through the corporate grapevine overnight, and now everyone shockingly knew the public truth: Daphne was Cara’s sister-in-law

    Driven by a sudden burst of adrenaline, my fingers flew across the keyboard. By 11:30 PM, the final tech pack was formatted, saved, and sent directly to production. I had beaten Nessa’s impossible deadline with hours to spare. Saving the files, I shut down my computer, the sudden darkness of the design department making the quiet floor feel incredibly vast. My heart began to thrum with a nervous, exciting anticipation as I made my way toward the executive elevator. I pressed the button for the top floor, my stomach doing flips the entire ride up. When the doors slid open, the executive floor was completely dark, save for the warm amber light spilling out from the frosted glass doors of Cara’s office. I walked in quietly, closing the door behind me with a soft click. Cara was sitting behind her massive mahogany desk, rubbing her temples over a mountain of financial contracts. The moment she heard the door, she looked up. The exhaustion on her face instantly melted away, replace

    The design department was a chaotic hive of bright lights, fabric swatches, and high-strung energy. The moment I walked in, the rhythmic tapping of keyboards and quiet chatter abruptly died down. Dozens of eyes turned toward me, sharp and critical. News traveled fast in this building, and everyone already knew that the two owners—Cara and Kazzy—had personally fast-tracked an outsider into a coveted senior designer slot. "So, you're the new favorite," a voice drawled from the center of the room. A senior designer named Nessa stepped forward, crossing her arms tightly over her designer blazer. She looked me up and down, making no effort to hide her skepticism. "We've all been pulling ninety-hour weeks for the upcoming season launch, earning our place here. Then you just slide right into the main desk without even an interview process." Whispers broke out among the assistants, their nods confirming Nessa’s hostile sentiment. I felt a familiar knot tighten in my stomach, the p

    I looked at the clock when I woke up. It's almost lunch. It was already dawn when I hit the sack last night 'cause I finished the k drama I was watching. Aside from plants, that's my other way to let time pass or divert myself. After I washed and brushed my teeth and put on my bra, I left the room.

    "Hey! Stop drinking," I was already tipsy or perhaps drunk when Cara decided to show up and join us. Just a while ago, Zammy was the one sitting beside me. Now it was Cara who's being a pain in the ass. As usual, Cara being Cara. "What's your problem?" Slightly, I raised my voice. I'm still in th

    "Can you give us a moment?" I asked Kazzy as I briefly interrupted the kiss with Cara. She followed. "And please lock the door for me." I chased after Kazzy before she could finally leave. Cara was about to turn her back on me, but I quickly grabbed her hand. "We're not done yet." "Done
