LOGINBetrayed by her own step mother and stepsister, she was left to die—her body dumped into the cold sea. Everyone thought she was gone forever. But she survived. Now, she’s back with a new name, a new face, and a heart hardened by pain. She’s not here for love. She’s here for revenge.

Not without a word.I leaned back in my chair, the low hum of the grandfather clock ticking against the silence. My fingers drummed once against the armrest before I picked up my phone and dialed Marco.“Sir?” he answered quickly.“Come to my study,” I said.A few minutes later, the door opened, and Marco stepped in, straight-backed as always.“Marco.” My voice came out low.“Yes, boss.”I looked up at him. “Something’s not right. I know Aurora. She wouldn’t just walk away like that.”He shifted slightly, uncertain. “But sir… Katerina said she left after a phone call. She wouldn’t lie to us. She’s been with the company for years.”I gave a small, humorless smile. “Katerina works for Rory. Which means she has every reason to lie.”Marco frowned. “You think—”“I don’t think,” I interrupted. “I know when something smells wrong.” I ch
SABRINAHe turned his gaze to me. His voice was steady, but his eyes—those cold, unreadable eyes—held something that almost burned.“I will send Mr. Robert to drive you back to the house in a few hours,” he said. “I’m sure Katerina will have given you the dress you wanted. You’ll resume tomorrow morning. And mind you—” his tone dipped, firm and final, “—we’ll always leave together. Now that you’ve been given this position, I hope you’ll cherish it. Because this isn’t just a promotion, Miss Aurora… it’s leadership. You’ll be leading the company’s image. Don’t take it lightly.”I smiled faintly, the kind that could be mistaken for humility—but wasn’t. “I understand, Mr. George.”He nodded once and turned away, his cologne lingering in the air like power itself.As we walked down the hallway, Katerina’s heels clicked ahead of me, sharp and impatient. She didn’t look back, didn’t speak. I could almost feel her resentment spilling from every perfect strand of her glossy hair.“Here we are,
SABRINAI stood slowly. “May I see the tablet?”Katerina hesitated, but Theo gestured lightly for her to hand it over. Reluctantly, she did.I looked through the digital sketches — dresses, suits, concepts that all screamed money but lacked soul. Then I looked up.“With respect,” I said, keeping my tone calm, “the issue isn’t the color red itself — it’s how it’s being used. The designs are heavy. They drown the models instead of bringing out their shape.”I turned the screen toward them, showing one of the mock-ups. “If you use red with clean lines — silk or satin, not layered tulle — it gives movement. It photographs beautifully under stage lighting. It’s striking, not overwhelming.”The room quieted.I swiped to another sketch I’d adjusted. “Here. Off-shoulder, structured waist, single slit. You pair that with neutral heels and minimal jewelry, and the red becomes the focus. It’ll stand out against the runway background and flatter every skin tone.”A quiet murmur rippled through th
SABRINAThen my phone rang.“You are very bold,” a deep voice broke out.I smirked, lowering my voice. “And all thanks to you.”“So what’s your next plan?” she asked — calm, sharp, like she already knew the answer.I let out a slow breath, keeping my tone even. “I don’t know. Maybe stay longer, take back my place. I can’t let my stepsister get away with this.”“You could just seduce him,” she said lightly, almost teasing. “You’re bold, intelligent. It wouldn’t be difficult for you.”My jaw tightened. “That’s not the kind of control I want.”There was a small pause on the other end, then her voice softened. “Still, you’ll need to get close to him. Closer than you are now.”I closed my eyes. “And how exactly am I supposed to do that?”“I have a meeting with him tomorrow,” she said. “Do your best to attend. Show up like you belong there. The rest — leave to me.”“I’m only a maid here,” I said. “You think he’ll let me walk into a meeting like that?”“Well,” she replied, her tone turning fa
