The private jet climbed smoothly above the heavy cloud cover, leaving the sprawling grey skyline of the capital city far behind. Inside the quiet cabin, the hum of the twin engines was low and steady, filling the space with a calm, rhythmic sound.

Thea sat in a wide leather seat beside the window. She had taken off her heavy coat and draped it over the back of her chair. On the small wooden table in front of her sat a warm cup of black tea and the thick white envelope Darius had delivered the n

    The towering glass headquarters of the former Sterling Group stood in the heart of the capital’s commercial district. Under the morning light, its mirror-like windows reflected the bright blue sky, masking the years of internal corruption that had quietly rotted the organization from within.Inside the grand executive board room on the forty-second floor, a heavy, tense silence filled the air.Twelve senior directors sat around a massive oval table made of polished dark oak. Most of them were middle-aged men in expensive suits, their faces tight with quiet anger and nervous anticipation. They were Arthur's old inner circle, men who had pocketed massive bonuses, overlooked fraudulent transactions, and enjoyed absolute power for decades.At the head of the long table, the high-backed master chair sat empty."This is ridiculous," whispered Director Osric, a sharp-faced man with slicked-back hair, leaning over to tap his gold pen against his notepad. "We are board members of a major cong

    The legal battle that had consumed the city for weeks was finally over, but the quiet that followed inside the Vane estate felt surprisingly heavy.Inside, Elias sat at his wide desk, his black fountain pen hovering over a stack of legal documents. His tailored jacket hung over the back of his chair, his necktie loosened slightly at his throat. He wasn't looking at the papers. His dark eyes were fixed on the doorway, waiting.A quiet knock sounded against the oak frame.Thomas, the head security guard, stepped into the library and stood at attention, holding a leather folder."Mr. Vane," Thomas said softly, bowing his head. "The order regarding Doctor Jocelyn has been fully executed."Elias set his pen down with a quiet, deliberate click. "Tell me.""Her personal medical license under the Vane corporate registry has been officially revoked," Thomas reported smoothly. "The executive board of the medical network was informed of her immediate dismissal. Furthermore, we ensured her name w

    THEA’s POVMeanwhile, inside the sunlit drawing room of the main Vane estate, time seemed to stand completely still.I stood frozen beside Elias, his strong arm wrapped securely around my waist. The warm, comforting scent of his cologne filled my senses, but my heart was pounding against my ribs like a trapped bird.All the color had drained from my face. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't move a single muscle. Standing just a few feet away from us, holding a sleek black medical bag, was Doctor Jocelyn.She looked polished, professional, and entirely calm. Her gray suit was immaculate, her dark hair pulled back into a tight, neat bun, and a polite, professional smile rested on her lips. To Elias, she looked like a top-tier private physician sent by the city’s premier medical board to take care of his wife.But to me... she was a monster from my nightmare past.Memories of my first life rushed back with violent, terrifying clarity.In my past life, when my health began to fail during the f

    The luxury suite at the city's finest five-star hotel was filled with the sound of breaking glass.Serena threw a crystal glass against the marble wall, watching it shatter into a hundred tiny pieces. Her face was red, her blonde hair messy, and her eyes swollen from crying all the way from the Vane estate. Two heavy leather suitcases sat near the door, freshly delivered by Elias’s security guards.She paced back and forth across the plush carpet, her hands shaking with rage as she held her phone against her ear."Dad! Did you hear what I just said?" Serena screamed into the phone, her voice high and sharp. "He threw me out! Elias had his guards practically carry my bags out to a car like I was some common criminal! In front of his mother! In front of everyone!"On the other end of the line, thousands of miles away in Europe, a heavy, calm sigh echoed over the speaker."Serena, calm down," her father, spoke in a low, stern voice. "You are making a complete scene. I told you before you

    ELIAS’s POV The memory flashed instantly in my head.Maya had arrived at the Vane estate with a troupe of paid paparazzi hovering outside the gates. She had carried a stack of forged medical papers, loudly claiming that Thea was mentally unstable and needed to be forcibly checked into a psychiatric facility for her own health. It had all been a desperate, dirty ploy because Thea had blocked a major Sterling stock transfer that would have lined Arthur's pockets.That afternoon months ago was the very first time I had actively stepped in. I had torn up the papers, threatened Maya with legal ruin, and chased the paparazzi off my property, keeping Thea safe inside my home."They used hospitals as weapons against her for years, Elias," Liam said softly over the phone. "Every time she went near a clinic, it meant isolation, fake diagnoses, and being controlled by people who hated her. To you, a hospital represents safety and family planning. To Thea, a hospital represents a cage."I close

    ELIAS’s POV The master bedroom was completely quiet, save for the soft, steady rhythm of Thea’s breathing.I sat on the edge of the mattress, my hand lightly resting over hers. She had finally fallen asleep, her pale face relaxed against the white pillows, her long dark eyelashes casting faint shadows on her cheeks. The intense, terrified trembling that had taken over her body at the hospital gates had entirely vanished, replaced by the peaceful stillness of rest.I pulled the duvet a little higher over her shoulders, leaned down to press a quiet kiss against her temple, and carefully slipped my hand out from hers.Stepping as softly as I could, I walked out of the bedroom and pulled the heavy wooden door shut until the brass latch clicked into place. I walked down the carpeted hallway and descended the marble staircase, my mind heavy with a dark, suffocating cloud of worry.In all the months we had spent together, I had never seen Thea look at anything with such pure, visceral terro

    THEA’s POV “Tell him,” I said.I walked toward the dressing room.The walk-in closet was the size of a small house, filled with rows of suits in muted grays and navy blues, colors Elias liked. I used to dress like a shadow so I wouldn’t offend him.I found a pair of scissors on the mahogany island

    THEA’s POV The hospital room was too quiet. I lay there, my body feeling like it was made of lead. I couldn't move my fingers. I couldn't open my eyes. All I had left was my hearing, and the sound of the heart monitor's steady beep... beep... beep... "Is it done yet?" That was Maya’s voice

    THEA’S POV Elias leaned in until I could feel the ghost of his breath against my lips. He was waiting for me to flinch. "You think you’ve grown claws, Thea," He murmured, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous vibration. "But you’re still in my house. You’re still wearing the ring I bought you. An
