lysander’s Point of View

The road stretched out in front of me, but my head wasn’t really there. Seraphina’s voice was like a mosquito buzzing at my ear, sharp and relentless.

“Lysander, I’m telling you, Scarlet cannot be your PA,” she said for maybe the tenth time. “She’s… she’s not the type. You need someone humble, someone who can take instructions from you and obey you. Not her.”

I gripped the steering wheel tighter, but I wasn’t listening to half of what she said. My mind was drifting—sliding back into the past where it didn’t belong. Scarlet. Every time I looked at her, something twisted inside me. Not because of who she was, but because she reminded me so damn much of Katherina. The way she carried herself. The stubborn tilt of her chin. Even the way she looked at me sometimes, like she could see straight through me.

It hurt. And I hated that it did.

“Lysander!” Seraphina’s voice suddenly shot through the haze, panicked.

I jerked my head up just in time to see a woman in the m

    ScarletWe stood there under the porch light, none of us speaking at first. The message from Dr. Jude burned in my head like a brand.Ryan broke the silence, his voice low and tense. “If this is true, then how? How would Seraphina even know? How would she connect you to Katherina? And why drag Dr. Jude into this?”Amanda crossed her arms, her face pale. “Yeah… Jude was just your surgeon, Scarlett. Nobody was supposed to know that. Not even Seraphina. You kept that buried. So what’s the link? How the hell does this all tie together?”I shook my head, frustration knotting in my chest. “That’s the thing—I don’t know. Seraphina has no way of knowing he was my doctor. No way of knowing he was the one who… made me Scarlett. Unless…” I trailed off, biting my lip.“Unless what?” Amanda pressed.“Unless someone told her,” Ryan said, finishing for me. His eyes narrowed. “But who? And why now? Jude’s been quiet for years. Then suddenly he’s dead, and he leaves me this?” He tapped his phone, jaw

    ScarletBy the time I pulled into my compound, I could barely feel my legs. My head throbbed, my shoulders ached, and honestly, I wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed and forget the world. Nobody told me being a PA would feel like running a marathon every single day. The endless calls, the schedules, the pressure of Lysander’s presence—God, it was exhausting.But I had a motive. A reason. And if I wanted to see it through, I had to endure every bit of this suffering.I slipped off my heels the second I shut the car door, carrying them in one hand while padding barefoot across the cool tiles. My toes sighed in relief. When I reached the door, I unlocked it and stepped inside, already tugging at the buttons of my shirt.That’s when I heard it.A sound. Movement. From the kitchen.I froze mid-step. My heart jumped to my throat. This was a new house—fresh, untouched. No one knew I lived here. Not Ryan, not even Amanda, my closest friend.Slowly, I set my heels down and reached for t

    Scarlet’s Point of ViewThe moment I stepped out of Lysander’s office, a smile tugged at my lips. I hadn’t even made a single move yet, and Seraphina was already burning with jealousy.Just as I turned toward the elevator, my stomach growled loud enough to remind me I’d left home without breakfast. Great. I sighed, rubbing my belly. Food first, then chaos later.I decided to head to the company lounge. The moment I walked in, all eyes landed on me like I had just stepped onto a runway. Whispers started immediately, some subtle, others not so much. I ignored them, striding to the counter with a little sway in my hips. If they wanted a show, I was happy to give them one.“I’ll have a cappuccino and a croissant, please,” I told the barista with a polite smile. She looked at me like she was starstruck, then quickly nodded and got to work.By the time I picked up my tray and walked to a corner table, I could feel the curious stares still glued to me. I sat down gracefully, crossing my legs

    Lysander's Point of View I sat behind my desk, flipping through the stack of contracts that had piled up overnight. Numbers, figures, proposals—everything demanded my attention, but I barely registered them. My focus was mechanical, the way it always was when I tried to bury myself in work.The door clicked open. I didn’t bother to look up.“Did you forget something?” I asked, still scanning the figures in front of me, assuming it was Seraphina who had just stepped out of my office a while ago.But then I caught a subtle fragrance in the air—floral, crisp, and light. Not Seraphina’s musky, intoxicating scent. This was different. Softer.“Hello, Mr. Thorne.”My head snapped up.She stood there. Scarlet Wilde. My new PA.For a moment, my breath caught. Her green eyes locked with mine, and something inside me faltered. Those eyes—bright, steady—pulled me back into a memory I had long buried. Katherina. The resemblance was uncanny, enough to make my chest tighten as if someone had reache

  • Revenge of the Billionaire's Dead Fiance    Chapter 6

    Scarlet's Point of ViewI walked out of the loan office with a new sense of power radiating through me. My heels clicked confidently against the pavement, each step fueled by the knowledge that I now had Five hundred thousand dollars sitting on my card.The first place I headed to was downtown—straight to the rows of elite boutiques that lined the glassy sidewalks like jewels waiting to be picked. Their mannequins wore dresses that whispered elegance and power. I walked into one of the most luxurious boutiques, the kind that smelled of fresh roses and subtle wealth. A well-dressed woman behind the counter immediately straightened, her eyes widening slightly as she saw me."Good day, ma’am," she greeted politely, trying to read me. "Shopping for something in particular today?"I glanced around at the racks of pristine designer clothing, every piece radiating quiet dominance."Yes," I said calmly. "I need a full wardrobe makeover. I’m starting a new job and I want to look the part. Thi
