Alec’s phone felt like it was burning a hole in his suit pocket. Seven missed calls from Kane. Fifteen from his private line. No messages beyond the initial threat—“The double is buried tonight unless you surrender her.” Now, dark clouds scudded across the sky above the runway where Zara’s latest survivors’ showcase had just wrapped.

Zara stood amidst the chaos of models and crew, tears catching in the glitter of spotlight. She’d just sent her army of women down that runway—each one a warrior flaunting scars and strength. And she’d meant that to be her ultimate answer to Juliette’s games. To Vivienne’s sabotage. To Damien’s blackmail. A declaration that no threat could break her.

But then the message had come.

Alec wasn’t dead. But someone who looked like him—someone surgically molded to every scar, every hair, every mole—had been captured, tortured, and left to bleed in his name. And the real Alec was frantic, scrabbling through contacts, hacks, safehouses, trying to find the imposto

  • Masked By Millions    Epilogue - The Fire Between Us

    The penthouse was quiet, save for the soft flicker of candlelight and the low hum of jazz that played in the background. Alec leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the city glow beneath him. But it wasn’t the view that made his chest tight. It was her.Zara Lane stood at the entrance of the bedroom in a silk robe the color of crushed wine. Her hair was undone, wild waves falling down her back, and her bare feet padded softly across the marble floor. She said nothing—just let the robe slip from her shoulders.It puddled at her feet.“Fuck,” Alec breathed.She walked toward him with the confidence of a woman who knew every part of him, every corner of his soul and body, and had claimed it all. Her fingers curled into his shirt, pulling him closer.“You kept your promise,” she whispered.“Which one?” His voice was a rasp. “I’ve made you a thousand.”Zara kissed him. Slow, deep, consuming. “The one where you said you’d burn the world to keep me safe. And I watched you do i

  • Masked By Millions    The Last Move

    The courtroom fell into complete silence. Even the hum of the ceiling fans felt distant as Alec stood at the defense table, his jaw clenched, his suit pristine, and his eyes blazing with fire.Across the room, Juliette’s smirk faded when she saw Zara enter — not alone, but flanked by her legal counsel, a woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to Alec.His twin sister.Amelia Blackwell.The one Juliette thought she had buried in scandal years ago.Zara’s heels echoed like thunder. Her dress, a fierce red, matched the fire in her glare. She met Juliette’s eyes directly and smiled — not sweetly, not cruelly, but like someone who had already won.The judge’s gavel pounded. “Is the defense ready?”“Very,” Alec said, his voice low, lethal.Juliette’s lawyer objected, sensing the shift, but it was too late. Amelia rose.“Your Honor,” she said, sliding forward a set of folders, “we have evidence tying Miss Juliette Wren to an offshore account used to funnel embezzled funds out of Zara Lane’s c

  • Masked By Millions    The Billionaire’s Last War

    Zara Milli Lane was not afraid of wars.Not when she’d survived betrayal, heartbreak, and the ruthless city that chewed women like her alive and spat them out weaker. But she had grown fangs. She had built her kingdom with needles, fabric, and fire. What she hadn’t expected was to be standing in the middle of Alec Blackwell’s world, now burning from the inside out.The private jet hit the runway in Venice—discreet, fast, and untraceable. Alec sat across from her, bruised from the ambush that had nearly killed him three nights ago.“She wants everything,” Alec muttered, his voice low.Zara didn’t need to ask who she was. Juliette.His ex. The woman who orchestrated her father’s kidnapping and now stood at the head of a hostile takeover involving not just Alec’s empire, but Zara’s fashion house too.“She wants my head,” he added, rubbing his jaw. “And yours. Figuratively, for now.”Zara’s jaw clenched. “She’s not getting it. Either of them.”He gave her a look—equal parts admiration and

    Zara woke to silence. The penthouse was cold. Alec was gone. The city had outlasted the night. She lay beneath the sheets, bruised and raw in ways she couldn’t name, wondering if some part of her would ever feel safe again. Outside, dawn spread across Manhattan in pale gold, mocking her.His phone buzzed. Private line. Same format as before. She recognized the code. She opened it.A single message: You lost yesterday, Lane. The final set is tonight. Don’t fail.She didn’t know what ‘the final set’ was yet. But she knew it wasn’t going to be a fashion show.She got up. Found Alec in the living room, suit dark, tie undone, eyes empty.“Zara,” he said. “I need you—”He couldn’t finish.She took his hand. Felt the tremor.He pressed something in his palm: a metal chip with no markings.“They found it. All our safe routes. The vault plans.”She shook. Alec pulled her close. She let him.Then stepped back.“We need to move.”They gathered phones, passports, encrypted drives. Milo and Asha m

    The runway lights still blazed behind her, but Zara couldn’t hear the applause anymore. Her heart was pounding in her ears, drowning out the world. Alec met her backstage, eyes scanning her face like he was memorizing her.“She sent the photo during your walk,” he said. “Your dad’s still alive. But Vanessa’s not letting go. Yet.”Zara pulled off her stilettos. “What does she want now?”“To break you publicly. The show wasn’t enough for her—now she wants a confession. She wants you to hold a press conference and admit to ‘exploiting workers’ or she’ll start sending pieces.”Zara’s blood turned to ice.“She wouldn’t,” she whispered.Alec nodded. “She would.”She turned away from him, her mind spinning with fury, desperation—and something else.Resolve.“Then we’ll give her something worse than the truth,” she said. “We’ll give her exposure. Public, permanent, inescapable exposure. But on her.”⸻Two Hours LaterIn the security room of Blackwell Industries, Zara sat with three screens in

    Zara’s heels clicked against the marble floor of the penthouse, echoing the storm inside her chest. The skyline glowed behind her, neon reflections bouncing off glass, but all she could see were headlines.Milli Lane on Fire—Literally and Figuratively.She slammed the tablet onto the table. “This is calculated. No doubt.”Alec looked up from the couch, sleeves rolled, shirt unbuttoned just enough to make her heart stutter—and piss her off more. “You think it’s Vanessa?”“I know it is.” Her voice was a blade. “The fire at the warehouse, the sabotaged shipment, the ‘anonymous’ exposé of my alleged labor scandal? It’s too clean. Too targeted. She’s trying to dismantle everything I built.”Alec rose, towering. “She’s trying to get to me through you.”Zara laughed—sharp and bitter. “Well, congrats. It’s working.”Before Alec could respond, the door buzzed. His body stiffened. “Don’t answer that.”She did anyway.Vanessa sauntered in wearing black satin and the smile of a woman who knew exa
