Dawn

I paced the room, each step clipped, deliberate, the soft fabric of my dress brushing against my thighs. The plan replayed in my head like a prayer I refused to forget.

Walk into that house. Smile. Be perfect. Take the ring in any possible way. Sell it. Replace it with something quieter, cheaper. Use the money wisely, add it to my savings, mix it with Father’s allowance, and buy that designer dress. No one at the reunion will outshine me. Not this year. Not ever.

I stopped by the mirror, staring at my own reflection. My lipstick hadn’t smudged. My hair fell neatly into place. But my eyes were sharp, betraying the storm underneath. They’ll speak my name until next year’s reunion. And then again, and again, until it never leaves their mouths.

The weekend had arrived. Ethan had gone out to shop for a few things to take to his father’s estate, leaving me behind with my thoughts. I tried to breathe, steadily, but nerves danced along my skin. My fingers hovered over my phone. To call m

    Liora Liora,” Caspian said, his voice low and smooth through the phone, “I know what you’re thinking. I didn’t come to cross any boundaries. I just wanted to help.”I drew a slow breath staring out the window. “I appreciate that, Caspian,” I said finally, keeping my tone warm but firm. “Really, I do. You’ve always had a good heart, and I can tell your offer comes from a place of sincerity.”He chuckled softly. “That sounds like the start of a polite rejection.”“Maybe it is.” I smiled faintly, swirling my coffee as I spoke. “The spa is in a good place right now. My team and I are focused on building strong foundations first. Whenever we expand internationally, my husband will be more than willing to support that growth. He’s always encouraged my work and believes in me more than I do myself.”There was silence on the other end, a beat too long. Then he exhaled softly, his tone laced with something heavier than disappointment. “Of course,” he said finally, voice edged with quiet pride

    Liora Good morning, beautiful. I hope you had enough rest. I would love to see you again.Caspian’s message was the first thing I saw when I picked up my phone.His words glowed softly on the screen, polite but heavy with something unspoken.I stared at them for a long moment, thumb hovering above the keyboard before I sighed and locked the screen.I wasn’t ready to reply. Not yet.I slipped out of bed, tied my robe, and went downstairs.The air smelled faintly of roasted coffee and lilies. My eyes drifted towards a large bouquet placed on the dining table.Beside it lay a small folded note, and I didn’t have to guess who it was from.I picked up the note, and a slow smile tugged on my lips as I read the message in his familiar, clean handwriting.You mean everything to me, kitten. And I’m sorry about last night.My chest softened. That was Damien. Dangerous but sweet, and when he said sorry, he said it with all of his heart and I love how it makes me feel.Before I could overthink i

    Damien I was halfway through a boardroom call when I got a text message from Smith.“She’s not alone.” She’s with Caspian Voss.Caspian Voss….?That was enough to end the meeting.I checked her location and drove towards there immediately. When I stepped into the new restaurant, with its gleaming marble, low golden lighting, and soft echo of money, I already knew who owned the place and the kind of man he was.Smith already briefed me on everything I needed to know about him on my way here. But none of that prepared me for the sight of them.When I stepped into the restaurant, everything inside me went still.Liora sat there, sunlight touching her skin through the tall glass windows, a soft glow wrapped around her. She looked alive in a way I hadn’t seen in months. Too alive.Across from her sat Caspian Voss, leaning in, sleeves folded up like he’d personally built this place with his bare hands. And his eyes were locked on her like he had every right to adore her.I’d done business

    Liora Damien’s presence towered, dark suit, his jaw clenched like he wanted to shatter something.He looked at Caspian first.A silent evaluation, strength recognizes strength, and Power measures power. Then his eyes found mine and everything inside him sparked.Possessive, Dangerous, Unbothered by hiding it.“Kitten,” he said, voice quiet but dripping with territorial claim.My pulse jumped.Caspian rose to his feet, politeness smooth and effortless.“Damien Grayson. I’ve heard much about you.”Damien didn’t take his offered hand, he just stared.“That makes one of us,” he replied, tone like ice poured over flame.Oh no. I quickly stepped in.“Damien, this is Caspian Voss. We knew each other from high school, he owns this beautiful restaurant.”Thank you, Caspian whispered.Damien’s eyes flicked to mine, he wasn’t angry, but definitely not pleased.Caspian’s voice stayed warm, unbothered.“Liora’s taste is exceptional. She’s been helping me try some menu highlights.”Damien’s expres

    Liora By noon, the walls started to feel a bit too quiet. Like silence reminded me of things I wasn’t ready to think about.I slipped into a simple cream dress that hugged the right places and let my hair fall in soft waves over my shoulders. Just enough glam to make me feel like I owned my world again. I took one of Damien’s cars yes, that man has way too many cars, and headed out to the new restaurant a few blocks from the estate.The interior was stunning, with neutral beige tones that created a calm atmosphere, perfectly complemented by sleek gold details that added a refined, modern touch.Soft jazz dancing around the room like a secret invitation.I picked a table by the window, the sunlight glazing my skin like honey. The waiter brought sparkling water, and I ordered something delicate. My body needed calm, because my mind wasn’t giving me any.As I waited, I looked outside. People are hurrying. Couples laughing. Life is slowly moving.And I sat still enough to feel… everythi

    Liora“Please… just make sure he’s comfortable,” I said softly into the phone, my fingers tightening around the edge of the kitchen counter. The nurse assured me as she always does that my father was fine.But my mind is still not settled.My stepmother still visits loudly reminding everyone how miserable she is married to him. A cruel woman with Cruella’s tongue. I wish I could ban her from breathing the same air as him, but she’s still the legal wife. And I’m still the powerless daughter.I hung up, breathing out slowly.A new hobby. That’s what I need. Something soft. Something about me. The gun range life isn’t in my hands. I had imagined maybe I could fit into Damien’s world.But maybe… he can meet me halfway in mine.That was when I heard him, the steady, confident sound of Damien’s footsteps threading down the hallway. Calm. Calculated. Every step was a reminder that he owned the space around him.He paused in front of me, dark eyes searching.“You seem distracted.”His knuckle
