Inside a secluded, high-end private dining room at an exclusive club reserved for the city's old money, three men sat around a low mahogany table.

Two of them were bitter, high ranking former directors who had lost their influence during Arthur's downfall. The third man was Williams, a distant, ambitious cousin from an elder branch of the Vane family who had long resented Elias’s absolute control as CEO.

The room was dimly lit, the heavy velvet curtains drawn tight against the afternoon sun.

    A week had passed since Doctor Jocelyn’s quiet dismissal. Life at the Vane estate remained peaceful and safe. That evening, the annual city charity gala was hosted at the central convention hall. It was a massive, mandatory event that brought together every major corporate firm, media house, and high-society family in the region.Inside the master bedroom suite, Elias stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the cuffs of his dark tuxedo jacket.Thea sat on the edge of the bed in her soft silk robe, watching him with a gentle smile. Her hand rested over her stomach, where her quiet pregnancy was progressing smoothly."You really don't mind going alone?" Thea asked softly.Elias turned around, stepping over to the bed. He knelt in front of her, taking both of her warm hands into his. "I prefer you staying right here, rested and safe. The venue will be crowded, noisy, and full of reporters. Liam and I will represent both Vane Group and Sterling Holdings. I’ll make a brief appearance, sig

    Inside a secluded, high-end private dining room at an exclusive club reserved for the city's old money, three men sat around a low mahogany table.Two of them were bitter, high ranking former directors who had lost their influence during Arthur's downfall. The third man was Williams, a distant, ambitious cousin from an elder branch of the Vane family who had long resented Elias’s absolute control as CEO.The room was dimly lit, the heavy velvet curtains drawn tight against the afternoon sun.Williams set his crystal whiskey glass down with a quiet clack, his eyes sharp and full of resentment. "So it's confirmed?" Williams asked in a low, cold voice. "Elias officially transferred his executive approvals to Liam today?" "Yes," replied one of the former directors, a sharp-faced man named Anthony. "He has taken an extended leave of absence. He claims it is for personal family reasons, but he hasn't stepped foot inside the building since Tuesday."Williams let out a bitter, cold scoff. "

    The afternoon sun cast a warm, golden light across the plush leather interior of Elias’s private luxury sedan. Outside the tinted glass, the high-end shopping district moved by in a quiet hum of pristine storefronts and manicured tree-lined avenues.Elias sat in the rear passenger seat, looking down at three velvet-lined boxes resting on the seat beside him.Earlier that afternoon, before heading home to begin his extended leave, he had taken a detour to the city’s most famous artisanal confectionery and jewelry house. Inside the sleek velvet boxes rested a selection of fine, organic dark chocolates with mild peppermint, a set of handmade crystal hairpins, and a soft cashmere shawl woven in a gentle cream shade.He didn't care about the price. He only cared about bringing a small, warm smile to his wife’s face when he walked through the door.The front passenger door opened, and Liam slid into the seat with a heavy sigh, tossing a thick leather folder onto the dashboard before turning

    The morning sun rose high over the financial district, its bright light reflecting off the tall glass skyscrapers. Inside the grand executive floor of the Vane Group headquarters, the atmosphere was unusually busy.Elias stepped out of the private elevator, his dark suit crisp, his necktie straight, and his long legs moving with a steady, purposeful rhythm. He had stayed home the previous day to be with Thea after the life-changing news of her pregnancy, but today he needed to clear his desk, settle outstanding corporate matters, and arrange an extended leave of absence so he could be fully present for his wife during her first trimester.As he walked past the main glass conference room, the heavy double doors opened.His father stepped into the corridor, holding a leather folder under his arm. His gray hair was neatly combed back, his posture straight, though a look of heavy sternness rested on his face. Behind him, two senior board directors bowed respectfully before walking off tow

    The master bedroom was quiet and bathed in the soft glow of the bedside lamps. Outside, the rain continued to fall in a gentle, steady rhythm against the glass.Thea sat on the edge of the large bed, wrapped in a warm cardigan. Beside her sat Nurse Evelyn, a middle-aged woman dressed in a plain knit sweater and dark trousers. She was Martha’s younger sister, and her calm, friendly demeanor made the room feel nothing like a cold hospital clinic.Elias stood a few feet away near the foot of the bed, his broad frame tense, his hands resting in the pockets of his dark trousers. His eyes remained fixed on the small white digital reader Nurse Evelyn held in her hands."Everything looks completely normal with your blood pressure, Mrs. Vane," Nurse Evelyn spoke softly, placing a warm hand gently on Thea’s wrist. "Your pulse is steady now, though your body is showing clear signs of exhaustion.""She felt very dizzy at dinner," Elias cut in, his deep voice thick with underlying concern. "She co

    By seven o'clock in the evening, the heavy corporate battle was over. To celebrate her first successful board meeting, Elias had reserved the private top-floor dining terrace at the Grand Meridian Hotel. The venue offered a stunning panoramic view of the capital's glittering skyline under the dark evening sky. Soft piano music drifted through the air, and small candles flickered inside glass lanterns on the white linen tablecloth. Thea sat across from Elias at a secluded corner table overlooking the city lights. She had removed her suit jacket, wearing only her soft white silk blouse. Her dark eyes looked bright and relaxed, a sense of genuine accomplishment resting on her features. "You were remarkable today," Elias murmured, holding up his glass of fine red wine. His dark eyes locked onto hers with deep, unshakable admiration. "I watched the way you handled Osric. You didn't even raise your voice." Thea chuckled softly, picking up her glass of sparkling mineral water. "He thoug

    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

In my last life, I would have cried. I would have begged him not to say such scary things. But that Thea die

    THEA’s POV In my first life, that voice would have made me jump. My father had a way of making me feel like I was five years old and failing a test. I used to spend my allowance buying him expensive watches just to get a "thank you" that never came. "Thea!" My mother’s voice joined in, high-pit
