Lucien continued staring at me.

For a few seconds, the only sound in the room was the quiet hum of the air conditioner.

Then he gestured toward the chairs in front of his desk.

“Have a seat.”

I nodded.

“Thank you.”

Marcus and I sat down.

Lucien returned to his chair, but his eyes never left me.

“So,” he said slowly, “you're the man Elara is engaged to.”

“Yes.”

He leaned back.

“I wasn't expecting you.”

“I didn't come here to surprise you.”

“Then why are you here?”

I looked directly at hi

    Elara By nine the next morning, Elara Maison was already busy. The sound of hair dryers filled one side of the boutique while soft music played near the clothing displays. Nerissa was at the reception desk, answering calls and checking appointments. Zariah was arranging a row of dresses when someone nearly bumped into her. "Careful." She turned. Kael stood behind her holding two garment boxes. "You were standing in the middle of the walkway." Zariah looked at him. "I work here." "So do I." "You started yesterday." "And I've already learned where not to stand." She narrowed her eyes. "Are you always this annoying?" "Only around beautiful women." Zariah blinked. Kael smiled innocently. "Did that work?" She rolled her eyes. "No." "Shame." I watched them from the reception desk. "Kael." He turned. "Yes?" "Those boxes aren't going to put themselves away." "I was getting there." "You've been flirting for five minutes." Zariah laughed. "I told you." Kael looked

    Elara By the time I got home, the sky had already begun to darken. I placed my handbag on the console and stood there for a moment. The house was quiet. I should have felt relieved. Instead, my mind was crowded. Victoria's visit had left too many things unsaid, and I didn't know what to do with any of them. I walked into the living room. Caspian was already there. He sat on the sofa, his jacket beside him, his sleeves rolled to his elbows. He looked up when he heard me. Neither of us spoke immediately. Something was different. Not between us. In him. I walked closer. "You're home." "So are you." I sat beside him. He reached for my hand. I let him take it. For a moment, we stayed that way. Then I noticed the tension in his fingers. "What happened?" His eyes lowered. "I went to see Lucien." My hand went still. I looked at him. "You actually went." He nodded. I pulled my hand away. "Caspian, I told you about Victoria because I trusted you." "I know." "I di

    CaspianI was halfway through reviewing a report when Marcus walked into my office.He looked at the papers on my desk, then at me."You know we didn't eat breakfast this morning, right?"I didn't look up."I'm aware.""And you're still working?""I have work to finish."Marcus sighed."Then finish it after we eat."I finally looked at him."I'm busy.""So am I. Busy being hungry."I shook my head."You complain too much.""Maybe. But I'm still right."I glanced at the time.He was right.I hadn't eaten anything that morning, and neither had he.I closed the file."Fine. Let's go."Marcus smiled."I knew you would see reason.""Don't make me change my mind."We left the office and walked to a restaurant a few minutes away.It wasn't far from the bank, and it was usually quiet during working hours.We chose a table near the window and sat down.A waiter came over."Good afternoon. What would you like?"Marcus ordered first.I ordered something simple.The waiter left.Marcus leaned bac

    Elara I looked toward the entrance.That's when I saw her.Victoria.For a moment, I wasn't sure whether my eyes were playing tricks on me.She walked through the door with confidence, her eyes moving around the boutique.She stopped beside the reception desk."Excuse me."Zariah looked up."Yes?""I'm looking for the owner."Before Zariah could answer, Victoria's eyes found mine.We both froze.Three years disappeared in a single second.I remembered family dinners.Christmas mornings.The way she used to tease me whenever Lucien and I argued over something ridiculous.Then I remembered how everything had changed.Victoria gave me a small, almost uncertain smile."Elara."My chest tightened."Victoria."I stood from my chair.She walked toward me.Neither of us knew what to say at first.Then she opened her arms.I stepped into them.Her embrace was warm and familiar, and for a moment, I allowed myself to forget why we had been apart.She held me a little tighter."It's been a long

    ElaraThe first thing that pulled me out of sleep was pounding on the front door.I opened my eyes, still half-asleep.Another knock followed.Then Marcus's voice came through the house."Elara!"I groaned and pulled the blanket over my face."Marcus, what is it?""You're late!"My eyes snapped open."What?""It's already late!"I reached for my phone and checked the time.My stomach dropped."Oh my God."Caspian stirred beside me."What happened?""We overslept."He sat up immediately."How late?""Late enough."Another knock echoed through the house."Are you two planning to come out today?"I threw the blanket aside."Marcus!""What?""Give us a minute!""You have one minute!"Caspian rubbed his face and laughed."He's going to break the door down.""I know."We hurried out of bed.I grabbed my robe and rushed toward the door while Caspian followed behind me.When I opened it, Marcus stood there with his arms folded.His eyes moved from me to Caspian.Then he stopped.Caspian was s
