Elena's breath hiccuped as she looked at Killian, her own heart racing beneath her skin. The air in the room was charged with a foreboding silence, its weight piling up second by second. Those words spouted just seconds earlier were still ringing in her mind — a promise, not just of emotion, but of something deeper… something raw and unadulterated.She hadn't expected him to be so agitated. Killian Blackstone was not a fragile man, but there he was — shoulders set, eyes burning with doubt, fists clenched at his sides as if he was holding himself together with string."I didn't want you to see me like this," he finally whispered roughly. "But I couldn't keep it up anymore. Not after today."She walked towards him hesitantly, trying to fit it together in the war waging in her chest. She'd experienced flashes of reality, but now it was coming down in one massive lump. "The things with Sophia? The threats, the fact that she knew all about me?"Killian's gaze turned icy. "Sophia's always b

The sound of Elena's heel click sounded down the icy marble corridors of the Kingsley manor, each step a bitter jolt to the storm in her breast. Her shoulders were squared, but her eyes were empty. She had come out of the fight with Sophia a burning acuity of intent, but the hurt was not gone. If anything, it had penetrated deep into the bone.She found Killian in his study, leaning back in the desk chair, his gaze being on the fireplace although the fire was extinguished hours earlier. The faint light of the chandelier created shadows on his face so that he looked like a man who carried centuries of sin.He did not speak when he lifted his eyes to look at her. He did not move. He simply glared."I talked to Sophia," Elena said definitively.His jaw tightened. "I know.""I know about the accident. The fire. You and Sophia being—" Her voice caught, not from jealousy, but from the extent of everything coming apart at once. "And I know about the cover-up."Killian nodded once more. No ap

Elena gazed at the letter clutched in her hand, trembling in her fists as the final sentences echoed in her mind like a gruesome nursery rhyme. I'm sorry for what I couldn't protect you from… I only hope someday you'll understand why I had to leave.Her mother's script was unmistakable—loopy and lovely—but the words themselves were too heavy for Elena to bear. Sophia had stood at the center of her grief for so long: a name that had come to represent abandonment, torment, and unwanted questions. But now, finally, she was being given a glimpse of the why."Elena, Killian's voice interrupted the quiet, reminding her of the place she was in. Standing in the doorway to the study, his expression contorted in uncertainty. He'd read the letter as well. He knew what it meant."She didn't leave me," Elena repeated harsh. "She left because she was forced to."Killian stepped over to the side of her and knelt, his hand covering hers as it still gripped the paper. "You don't have to go through thi

The sunlight poured through the penthouse in the morning like a blessing, warming up chilly marble floors and softly golden playing on Elena's face where she sat bundled up in the corner of the couch. The small leather book lay open on her knees, white fingers tracing along the page as if she was afraid to lean on it too hard lest the words vanish.Killian's words—so real, so agonizingly unforeseen—had jolted something inside her. Not much. But in a way that caused her throat to constrict with a hope she was still not ready to willingly accept.He'd never talked to her like this before.No gestures. No sweeping pronouncements or silks-shorn falsehoods. But only gossamer confessions etched on pages for no one's eyes but his. And that made them true. And more powerful than anything he'd ever spoken aloud.She closed the diary, clutched it in a hard-held moment before she rose and went quietly toward the kitchen where the smell of strong coffee hung in the air.Killian braced himself on

Killian's penthouse was quiet, a chill to the whirlwind of feeling still between him and Elena. The darkness had descended over the glass walls, stars twinkling like shattered hopes just beyond their grasp. And in the hush between them, they stood—no longer enemies, no longer strangers, but something in between. Something raw. Something real.Elena perched on the edge of the couch, knees pulled up to her chest, the huge sweater that wrapped around her doll-like figure. The fiery glint had faded from her eyes, but they bore the weight of unshed tears and unspoken wars. Killian sat across from her, bent knees, fists clenched into tight little balls. The space between them crackled—littered with what was and wasn't said."You meant it?" She whispered, her voice soft.Killian sat up, and for the first time, he didn't shield. "Every word."Her throat moved up and down as she gulped a hard swallow. "Then why is it that I still feel like I'm not breathing when you're here?"His jaw clenched.

The moment Elena stepped into the penthouse, she sensed tension wrapping around her like a choker. It was suffocating silence—not the reassuring type, but the one that hung with unuttered words, broken trust, and the faint scent of all that had failed.Killian stood against the window, rigid in his position, his shoulders set against bearing the burden of everything that had happened. He did not face her. He simply drew breath slowly, "You're back."His tone was coarse and worn, but not blazing with fury. It was worse than fury. It was resignation.Elena's heart pounded in her chest as she pushed open the door and closed it softly behind her. "Yes. I needed… time to think."He did not respond immediately. His silence pounded louder than anything he might have spoken. She took a step or two towards him, but not close enough to stand at his side."You lied to me," she accused, her anger trembling but under control. "Not just about Sophia, but about why you did everything in secret. Abou

The sun poured in from the big bay windows, creating strips of gold on the Blackwood estate's marble floor. Everything seemed to be a postcard-perfect outside scene, but tension in the air would have strangled even the fattest guest. Elena occupied the far end of the velvet chaise in the living room, spine erect, fingers tightly folded together in her lap. Killian had stared across the room, arms folded, face blank—stone carved from a grimmer, icier era. They'd barely exchanged a word, anyway, for they'd talked all of the other night and more. There'd been space between them like an open door neither could cross. Sophia's name continued to resonate in her head. She'd seen the woman slip out the door with a look of contempt on her face—as if she hadn't just detonated a bomb destroying the fragile lines of trust between them. "You're not going to say something?" Elena softly spoke, finally shattering the stifling silence. Killian's eyes snapped to her, jaw clenching. "What do you wa

The sun was setting into the west, bathing the sky in lavender and burnt orange colors, but anything but tranquility existed in Killian's penthouse suite.Elena stood rigid in front of the window, arms folded over her chest as if attempting to hold fragments of herself together. Whatever had happened in the past day hadn't disturbed her, it'd dismantled something within. Trust, hope, belief—now all so tenuous, one false move away from breaking totally. Killian entered the room, stealthy steps on wood. He froze when he saw her. "You're not answering my calls." "I needed space," Elena said, low, nearly disconnected. "And time." His jaw tightened. "And yet you're still here." She shifted to face him, her eyes empty. "Where else would I be, Killian? My whole life is tangled in you. All roads go to you. even the broken ones." He winced at that. "I never meant for you to get hurt." "You didn't have to mean it for it to occur." There was silence between them, the tension of all they

The sun was only just starting to rise, bathing the expansive estate in a golden warm light, as Elena woke up with an unsettled sleep. She was weighed down by memories of last night's scene—the shouting, secrets spilled, and most of all, the expression that she saw on Killian before he left without so much as a single word.He hadn't come back. Not even a word. Anything.She was wearing one of his shirts and leaning in the window, breathing in the stillness of the garden beyond. Louder to the stillness inside the mansion than to any other battle they'd ever fought. It pulsed with things left unsaid, with questions not asked.She turned at the soft footsteps.Sophia stood in the doorway, reluctant, her shaking fingers playing with the hem of her blouse. "You didn't sleep," she whispered."Neither did I," Elena croaked, her throat parched from walking and crying a good portion of the night. "Did Killian come back to the villa at all?"Sophia shook her head. "No. But I do know where he c
