The day after the gala, the Headinberg estate was enveloped in a deceptive quiet. The morning sun filtered through the high windows, but the atmosphere inside was thick with the aftermath of the previous night’s revelations. In the morning room, the large television was tuned to the entertainment news, the volume just high enough to fill the silence.

"In entertainment news, London’s most eligible bachelor is officially off the market," the newscaster announced, her voice chirpy against the back

    The door to the back seat opened. A pair of slender legs appeared, followed by delicate fingers wrapping around the outstretched hand. He helped her out, the skirt of her dress gliding behind her. As she stepped out, Autumn took her time taking in the architecture of the Sterling estate. Even though it paled in comparison to the Kingston estate, it was still breathtaking. She couldn’t help but marvel at it. It was true old money — riches passed down through generations. “Are you ready?” Ezra whispered gently, drawing her attention back to him. “Yeah.” She turned and smiled at him. “Your family home is beautiful.” They walked together toward the main entrance. She saw people crowded together, talking and exchanging words. She felt painfully out of place. It was the same feeling she used to get when she attended these kinds of events with Eric. Ezra took his time introducing her to a few of his friends and acquaintances. “You know this doubles as an art show,” he said, pulli

    It was a bright early morning. Thanks to Ezra, she had spent the previous day slowly getting used to feeling better.She pulled herself together to face the outside world. She couldn’t afford to keep being a Debbie Downer over Eric’s unfairness.Letting it control her mood would only do more harm than good.So she got up, got dressed, and headed to the ministry.The moment she stepped through the double doors, she felt every pair of eyes on her. Soft whispers followed her across the lobby.Most of it was probably because of the disastrous gala a few days ago. Only a handful of people had been present, but she knew that had been more than enough.She could already imagine the scandalous things being said about her. Was she the greedy ex-wife who married only for money, or the victim of the Nexus Corp CEO’s schemes?She would never know, and she preferred it that way. She had never liked involving herself in workplace goss

    Sophia gritted her teeth as she stepped into the rundown part of the city once again. This time, instead of the smelly basement, Sebastian had given her the address of a bar.The place was filled with shady-looking people who looked ready to pull a knife on her for her belongings. She felt both terrified and disgusted as she made her way toward the booth he had mentioned.For the past few days, the only thing on her mind had been how to dig herself out of the hole she was in.Eric had sent her to supervise a collapsing business he had bought simply because he could. He had no real interest in it — just like he seemed to have no interest in her.She saw the transfer as a punishment, a way to keep her away from him because of the recent rumours. Part of her was relieved he hadn’t discovered her involvement. If he had, this would have been a lighter sentence.So she managed the company. She wanted to quit and return to America, but another part of her kept insisting this was a test. A te

    Autumn returned to her lonely penthouse suite, broken and defeated. Her last conversation with Fin still rang clearly in her head as she fought back tears.The thought that he was paying the price for the foolish mistakes of the adults around him made her chest ache. She wanted nothing more than to run away with him again, even if it meant risking years behind bars.“I shouldn’t have returned to this city. I should have stayed away,” she whispered bitterly, cursing the past decisions that had brought her here.If she hadn’t come back to London, she and Fin would still be together. Struggling in a one-bedroom apartment with a broken heater, earning minimum wage at a diner run by an older couple who sometimes helped look after him because they enjoyed his company and treated him like their own.Even though they had no money and had to curl up together for warmth, she would trade everything she had now just to sleep with her child in her arms again.With those heavy thoughts of regret, s

    She made it back to Fin’s room, where she finally broke down sobbing.She wasn’t crying because of Eric. She was mourning how powerless she felt. How she couldn’t stand her ground enough to see her daughter, even just once.She wanted a single moment with her. To hold her, even if it was only the urn. She had never gotten to hold that tiny body or see what her daughter looked like. She had only imagined it over and over.Would Mirabella have looked like Fin? Would she have taken after Eric, or after her?Even that small request had been refused, just like every other time.She laughed bitterly through the tears. She had promised herself she would avoid his sharp tongue, but it hadn’t gone as planned. He had cut her down the same way he always did.*Pathetic, Autumn. You’re pathetic for crying over a man who has shown you time and time again that he doesn’t care what you want.*She wiped her face roughly.*He’s already made it clear. No matter what you do, you can’t change his mind.*“

    Just like the previous visit, Eric had scheduled something with her unannounced and last minute. Gabriel only informed her a few hours beforehand.She had to drop everything she was doing, which was organising the room for Fin to stay in during his visits, if Eric ever permitted it. She hurriedly made an excuse to the interior designer and tried to cover her rushed behaviour.She cursed him as she changed. She cursed him as she climbed into the taxi heading to the Kingston estate. She cursed him as she stepped out in front of the gates. She was still cursing him as she entered the house and waited for her son.She knew this was important. Seeing her child mattered.But she couldn’t help feeling that he was being ridiculous. He could have scheduled a proper date with her instead of choosing whatever time suited his mood and then ordering her to appear.She couldn’t protest. He would just turn her words against her with that sharp tongue of his, labelling her a workaholic who care

    The light from the morning sun blinded my eyes, forcing me to squint as I woke up in an unfamiliar room. For a split second, I panicked, my heart racing as I tried to remember where I was. Then, the events of last night crashed into my mind. I buried my face in the silk pillows, blushing at the mem

    It had been a few days since the incident at the bistro, and a heavy, suffocating silence had settled between Eric and me. We moved around the estate like two planets in a dangerous orbit—close enough to feel the pull of gravity, but terrified of a collision. I had managed to sneak a text to Marco

    Autumn stood before the ornate mirror in the foyer, checking her reflection one last time. She adjusted the strap of her bag, her fingers lingering on the leather. She felt like herself again.Chloe, ever the observant shadow, wandered into the foyer with a bowl of sliced fruit, munching slowly. Sh

    The car pulled up to the Seta by Antonio Guida, and we were led through the sleek, turquoise-accented halls of the hotel to Seta by Antonio Guida. Eric had reserved a private section, a secluded nook that felt worlds away from the bustling streets of Milan. The lighting was low, the air filled with
