KAIDA REED POV

"Did you send the package I asked you to?" I asked, glancing up.

"Yes, I did."

I frowned, glancing at the phone on my desk that hadn’t rang once since I came into the office.

"Were you able to confirm that he received it?".

She nodded. "I did, but Sir Zavian is a very busy man. It might take a few days before he gets back to you."

"Oh, I see."

It wasn’t what I wanted to hear.

I rubbed at my temple, the migraine I woke up with getting worse.

    YILENA HOLT POVTHE NIGHT BEFORE.RESTAURANT."What do you want? Why did you bring me here?"The woman smiled lazily, as if my irritation was mildly entertaining, then looked up from her steak."You should eat first," she said calmly, lifting a bite to her mouth. "Aren't you hungry?""Cut the bullshit!" I snapped, my patience running thin. "I have better things to do, so you'd better tell me what you want or I'm leaving."She smirked, then went right back to cutting her steak like my threat meant absolutely nothing.It was infuriating.I could have caught Helena red-handed by now if I'd just ignored this lunatic, but I just had to let my curiosity get the best of me.Stupid. So fucking stupid.I inhaled slowly through my nose, forcing the tension out of my shoulders.Fine. Two could play this game.I nodded once and reached for my fork.The steak on my plate was still steaming, the surface glistening with melted butter. When I cut into it, the knife barely met resistance.Medium rare.

    KAIDA REED POV"Where are you going?"Lucien paused near the door, his hand tightening around the phone in his hand. I stared at it, my lips pursing.Did he get a message from Helena? I bet he hadn't told her yet that he had to return the money they stole. I wondered how that conversation would go.But for now, I couldn't let him leave."Lucien?"He slowly turned to face me, his mouth pressing into a thin line as he saw the confusion written across my face."I'm just stepping out for a bit.""Why?" I tilted my head slightly, studying him. "Do you feel suffocated. Is it because you've been by my side for days now?""What? Of course not—""Then stay." I walked toward him, reached forward before he could react, and slipped his phone from his hand.The movement caught him off guard, his fingers half-curling as if to grab the phone back before he caught himself and let his hand fall."Besides," I continued calmly, pretending not to have noticed, "we still have some documents to go through

    HELENA REED POV My body ached like one giant bruise.I pushed the door open slowly, rested my head on the cold metal for a second, and then stepped inside.Every step I took sent a dull ache through my muscles, and for a brief moment, I feared I would pass out.God. Damon was an animal. He had gone at it all night until I passed out—and judging by the soreness between my thighs, he hadn't stopped even then.I rubbed a hand over my face, then groaned as I glimpsed my bruised wrists.For the love of God!"How the hell am I supposed to hide all this from Lucien?" I groaned under my breath.I stepped into the living room, my gaze immediately landing on the glass sitting on the table.I stopped, brows pulling tight in confusion.My glass of wine was exactly where I'd left it last night."Why didn't she just toss this out?" Yilena hated clutter. She was the type who couldn't sleep if a single dish sat in the sink overnight, so why would she leave the glass out like this?I walked over a

    ZAVIAN NOLVEN POVKaida looked stunning in her dress, but it was her eyes reflecting the lights that had me completely captivated.I watched her move through the room, as if the world had been built solely to witness her existence. The sight of her, so free and beautiful, made my chest tighten.And when she finally stopped in front of me, the music fading into nothing until there was only her, I forgot how to breathe.For a moment, neither of us spoke, then her gaze lifted slowly, meeting mine. The impact of it felt almost violent—like something sharp sliding straight through my ribs.God. She had no idea what she was doing to me, did she?My fingers twitched at my side.I wanted to touch her. No. I needed to."Kaida," I said quietly, her name rough against my throat. "You're here.""Yes, I am." Her gaze settled on my lips. "You look. Really good."I stepped closer. So close that if she breathed a little deeper, her chest would brush mine."You shouldn't look at me like that."She s

    KAIDA REED POV I stepped out of my room, then paused, my brows arching as I saw Lucien still kneeling right where I left him.Did he really kneel there all night? With his head to the ground.Who knew he could be so tame?It's really true what they say isn't it? If you want a man to chase you more, treat him like garbage. I walked toward him. "Why are you still here?" He flinched, his shoulders jerking as if I had struck him. He slowly lifted his head, his eyes dry and bloodshot."Kaida."I let out a sigh, then crossed my arms."You're really something, Lucien. Do you think doing this will make me forgive you for what you've done?""I know it won't," he admitted, voice raw, trembling just at the edges. "But… I have to try, regardless.""You're wasting your time—""I love you," he cut in, his eyes reddening. "I love you so much, that the thought of losing you makes me feel like dying." "I don't believe you. If you truly loved me, you wouldn't have thought of taking that money in th

    HELENA REED POV My hands crashed against his face the second I entered the room and saw him."How dare you!" I gritted, my body trembling with rage. "Who do you think you are to threaten me?"His head tilted slightly from the impact, dark hair falling across his forehead. For a second he didn't move. Then he slowly turned back to me.He smirked, his tongue pushing into his cheek as he flexed his jaw. "That hurts."I saw red."It was meant to hurt, you bastard—argh," I gasped as he grabbed my wrist with crushing force. I tried to yank my hand away, then cried out as he twisted my arm behind my back in one swift motion."What the hell do you think you are doing!" I screamed, my heart pounding through my ribs as he pushed me forward.My body bent over the couch cushion, the soft fabric doing nothing to soften the shock of the movement."Let go of me. Let go—" my breath hitched, my pulse racing as his body moved in behind me, his presence swallowing the space around me. Heat radiated
