The rain had just stopped.

Soft mist clung to the windows of the Ciel's mansion east wing, blurring the sunrise into watercolor hues, lavender, gold, and pale blue.

Inside, the world held its breath.

And then came the cry.

High, clear, and so small.

Roxanne exhaled, sinking back into the bed pillows, damp curls stuck to her forehead.

Her fingers trembled, her body ached, but her heart… her heart had never felt so full.

The midwife smiled gently and whispered,

“You did beautifully.”

Ciel had arranged for her safe delivery at home to avoid the press trying to have a glimpse of his baby's new life.

Across the room, he stood frozen, one hand covering his mouth, the other gripping the edge of the chair like he needed something solid to hold onto.

His eyes were rimmed red, glistening with disbelief.

Then the doctor turned, gently placing a small, wriggling bundle into his arms.

Ciel cradled the baby as if holding the sun.

“Hi,” he said hoarsely.

“Hi there.”

The infant blinked up at him

    At Ciel's mansion, the atmosphere was in a celebratory mood.There were lovely fragrance sprayed across the whole area of the mansion.Although out of sight, there was a string quartet playing with a low, steady and reverent sound.Everything was planned out to be spectacular for her.Roxanne stood at the edge of the corridor, one hand resting lightly on the swell of her stomach, the other clutching a bouquet of ivory peonies and olive branches. Her gown shimmered like moonlight, simple silk, no train, no veil. Just her. Powerful. Radiant, and Free.“I feel like I’m going to drop the rings,” Finn whispered beside her.She looked down at him and smiled. He was dressed in a navy-blue tuxedo, his hair slicked to one side, trying so hard to look grown. He clutched the velvet ring box in one hand and held her arm with the other, eyes wide with the kind of solemn joy only a child can feel at moments that feel bigger than life.“You won’t drop them,” she whispered. “You’ve already car

    At the Bellamy headquarters, the morning air was slightly cold, but with enough breeze to rustle the new massive silk banner that is draped over the building.Roxanne just got there.She was wearing a very tailored ivory suit.It has gold embroidery along the sleeves.It looked regal.Her hair was pulled back in a sleek knot, and her eyes gleamed with elegance and raw beauty.She looked very inch a powerful woman by her looks.And truly, she was.She is the CEO of the Bellamy Couture.Ciel was standing beside her.Tall and poised, with his hand resting gently at her back.Crowds were gathered around them, outside the company.There was a Pavilion, and different people were there.Journalists,ambassadors,designers, philanthropists, and board members from three continents.The company's name glimmered under the new leadership.Only this time, the name belonged to Roxanne.She stepped forward, her voice amplified and commanding, yet warm.“Years ago, my mother built something extraordina

    For some reason, Devian was arrested and charged to Court.Ciel had a hand in it.He wanted to make him fall for real this time.What he did with Reina's phone may have helped him in his plan, but he figured if he could do something like that, then he was capable of much more madness.And he could not afford to let him live free.Since his detention didn't help matters, he decided to use the law.On the day of his hearing, the police brought Devian to the court.It was raining slightly.Cameras flashed before him like lightening.He was a part of the high society, and a scandal like this definitely makes the juicy news.He didn't flinch, nor blink as he was led into the Court room.His hair was damp, his once-pristine suit wrinkled and clinging to his frame. The arrogance he once wore like armor had been stripped away, piece by piece.He looked smaller now.Inside the courtroom, the silence was almost sacred. The judge had already reviewed the files.It was over 400 pages of cybercr

    Evelyn drove her car towards Roxanne's house.The drive was slow, and almost reverent.It was as if she was going for something that would make or mar her.She was putting on a plain black coat, and heels.And also had with her a leather bag, which contained just one item.A letter.As she drove, the streets blurred past her window like a memory she does not want to go after anymore.Her phone buzzed in her lap, but she didn’t check it. There was no one she wanted to hear from. Not anymore.By the time she reached Roxanne’s building, the late afternoon sun had sunk low, casting long shadows across the pavement. She pulled over, and came out of the car, with the letter tucked into her coat.She walked towards the door and stood by it for a minute before she rang the bell.Then the door opened slowly after some few minutes.Roxanne appeared before her.She was dressed in a gray lounge wear.There were some faint bruises beneath her eyes.A testament of sleepless nights, and stress.H

But this one cut deeper.Living with them means different things.It means she was now privy to their private dealings and discussions.And since they got there, she had been listening to their cries of frustration.Soon, she heard James and one of his men having a low conversation. “She’s unstable,” James said coolly. “She’s a risk now. We can’t afford to keep her in the loop.”“What about the plan?”“The plan is salvaging what’s left of our network,” James snapped. “She can rot in this house or disappear. It doesn’t matter now. She’s expendable.”The word rang in Reina’s skull like a gunshot.She was Expendable!!She backed away from the door like it had burned her. Her pulse thundered. Her palms itched.
