The Italian restaurant was small and intimate, with red-checkered tablecloths and candles flickering in wine bottles. Alexander had chosen it because it reminded him of a place his grandmother used to take him when he was a child warm and unpretentious and full of the smell of fresh basil.

Imogen was charmed.

"This is lovely," she said, looking around. "It feels like someone's home."

"That's why I like it. Most restaurants in this city are trying too hard to impress. This place just wants to fe

    Clara stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom, holding up the dress she had just bought.It was stunning. Deep emerald green, the color of a forest at twilight, with a neckline that was elegant without being revealing and a skirt that swirled around her knees. She had found it at a boutique in the Design District, and the moment she put it on, she knew it was the one."The party is on Saturday," Imogen said from the doorway. "Are you going?""I'm going.""As Cassian's date?""No. On my own terms. I'm not going to be his plus-one or his arm candy. I'm going as Clara Hayes, general manager of Whitmore Fashion Group, project lead on the rebranding initiative. I'm going to hold my head high and show Vanessa Hale that she doesn't intimidate me."Imogen smiled. "That's my girl."Clara's phone buzzed. Cassian's name flashed on the screen."I should take this," Clara said."I'll give you privacy." Imogen squeezed her shoulder and left, closing the door behind her.Clara answered. "Hello."

    Adrian was at his desk, nursing a brutal hangover and an even more brutal regret, when his office door burst open.Cassian strode in like a thunderstorm. His gray eyes were blazing. His jaw was set. He did not bother with pleasantries."Get out," he said to James, who was standing frozen in the corner with a tablet in his hands.James looked at Adrian. Adrian nodded wearily. James fled.Cassian slammed the door behind him and crossed the room until he was standing directly in front of Adrian's desk. The tension between them was palpable—two predators circling each other, neither willing to back down."You knew her," Cassian said. His voice was low and dangerous. "Before Brisbane. Before the accident. Before all of it."Adrian leaned back in his chair, his dark eyes unreadable. He had been expecting this. Maybe not today, maybe not so soon, but he had known it was coming. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't lie to me." Cassian placed both hands on the edge of the desk and

    The knock came at eleven-thirty at night.Clara was on the couch, her laptop open, reviewing the Milan supply chain documents for the third time. Colt was asleep. Imogen was at Alexander's apartment, having dinner with him and, according to her last text, "probably staying late because he's making tiramisu from scratch and I'm morally obligated to support him." Clara had the apartment to herself.The knock came again, louder this time. And then a voice, slurred and desperate."Clara. Clara, are you there? Please. I need to—I need to talk to you."She recognized the voice immediately. Adrian.Clara opened the door and her heart clenched. Adrian Whitmore—the polished, confident CEO who commanded boardrooms and closed billion-dollar deals—was standing in her hallway, disheveled and broken. His tie was gone. His shirt was untucked and wrinkled. His dark hair was a mess, falling across his forehead. His eyes were red-rimmed and glassy, and he was swaying slightly on his feet."Adrian? What

    Imogen was still flushed from Alexander's visit when her phone buzzed with a text from Clara.You won't believe what just happened. Call me when you can.Imogen frowned and dialed immediately. Clara answered on the first ring."Tell me everything."Clara told her. About walking into Cassian's office. About Vanessa leaning over him, touching him, wiping his mouth. About the headache and the strange flash of memory. About the invitation and the party and the tense conversation afterward."She's throwing a party at his house," Clara said. "She calls Emory her baby. She kisses him in front of clients. And he just... lets her.""He explained himself?""He said she's persistent. That he's told her there's no future. That he wants me to come to the party as his date.""Are you going?"A pause. "I don't know. Part of me wants to show up and stake my claim. The other part of me wants to run in the opposite direction."Imogen was quiet for a moment. "Clara, I need to tell you something. But I n

    The silence stretched for a long moment. Cassian stood behind his desk, his hands braced against the polished wood. Clara stood on the other side, her arms crossed, her expression unreadable."Clara—""Your girlfriend is very beautiful, Mr. Kingsley. You must be very proud.""She's not my girlfriend.""Your friend, then. Your childhood sweetheart. Your first love. Whatever label you prefer." Clara's voice was calm, but there was a tremor beneath it. "She seems very comfortable here. Very comfortable with you.""Vanessa is..." Cassian ran a hand through his hair, frustration etched into every line of his face. "She's been part of my life for a long time. Since we were children. She's... persistent.""Persistent." Clara nodded slowly. "She kisses your cheek. She brings you food. She touches your hand. She calls your daughter her baby. She's throwing a party at your house. She slapped your assistant and faced no consequences. But she's just persistent.""It's not what you think.""Then e

    The silence in the office was suffocating.Clara stood frozen in the doorway, her eyes fixed on the scene before her. The woman—Vanessa—was still leaning across Cassian's desk, her hand still resting on his, her crimson lips still curved in that slow, satisfied smirk. The napkin was still poised at the corner of Cassian's mouth, a gesture so intimate that it made Clara's stomach clench.And then Vanessa smiled.It was not a kind smile. It was the smile of a woman who knew exactly what she was doing. The smile of a woman who had won this particular battle many times before and expected to win it again. The smile of a woman who had just watched her rival walk into a trap and was relishing every moment of the fall.Clara's head exploded with pain.A flash of something—a fragment, a shard, a splinter of memory tore through her mind like lightning. A woman's smile. That same smile. That same crimson smirk, hovering over her, triumphant and cruel. A voice, cold and sweet: "You tried so hard

    The apartment was quiet in the early hours of the morning. The first pale light of dawn was just beginning to filter through the curtains when Imogen pushed open Clara's bedroom door and looked inside.Clara was still asleep, curled on her side, her dark hair spread across the pillow. She looked ex

    When Cassian returned to his table, Julian was staring at him with wide eyes."What the hell happened? Who was that woman? I saw the manager running around like his head was on fire.""Someone attacked her in the corridor. A drunk man. I intervened.""You intervened? You punched someone?""Yes."Ju

    The women's restroom was elegant and quiet, all marble countertops and soft golden lighting. Clara stood at the sink, leaning over the basin, dabbing at the red wine stain on her cream silk blouse with a napkin soaked in cold water. She had done this before wine stains were an occupational hazard o

    La Maison was the kind of restaurant that did not have a sign outside. If you did not know it was there, you would walk right past the unassuming stone facade and never realize you had missed one of the most exclusive dining experiences in Dallas. Inside, the lighting was soft and golden, the table
