Author’s POV

*The next day*

Stephanie guided Elara into the living room, her grip firm yet careful as she helped her settle onto the sofa.

Elara leaned back, exhaustion evident in the way her shoulders slumped.

“Mum… I’m starving,” she murmured weakly.

“I’ll get you something,” Stephanie replied, turning toward the kitchen.

But the moment she stepped inside, she froze. The kitchen was completely bare; no groceries… no leftovers, not even a crumb.

Her expression darkened instantly. Jaw tightenin

    Liora’s POVI eased the door open and slipped out, my steps quick and quiet as I headed straight for Derek’s room.The moment I got inside, I rushed to the wardrobe. His suits were neatly arranged, I grabbed all in haste, then reached for his shoes nearby, his cologne, anything that looked essential.Footsteps echoed faintly from the hallway.My heart lurched.“Wait” a voice called out.I froze for a split second, then bolted.Clutching everything tightly, I hurried out of the room. Something slipped from the bundle in my hands and fell to the floor, but I didn’t dare stop. I didn’t slow down until I reached my room. The door shut behind me with a soft thud as I dropped everything onto the couch and collapsed onto the bed, breath coming in ragged gasps.“That was close…” I whispered, pressing a hand to my chest.After a moment, I reached for my phone and dialed Derek.“Hello… I’ve got them,” I said quickly. “What happens next? You’ll come get them from here, right?”“I’ll be home soo

    Liora’s POV*The next day*I woke early, slipping out of bed and heading straight for a shower. Afterward, I changed into a simple casual gown.Derek had pleaded that I stay home with Aurora today. I entered the kitchen and began preparing pancakes. By the time I was done, I plated the pancakes carefully and headed upstairs.Aurora was already awake when I entered her room, fully dressed, while Mandy finished adjusting her hair.The moment she saw me, her face lit up.“Good morning, Mummy!” she giggled, running toward me.I tightened my grip on the plate with one hand and caught her with the other, lifting her against my chest.“Mummy made pancakes,” I announced lightly, tilting the plate so she could see. “Does my Rora want some?”“Yes! Yes!” she squealed, clapping her tiny hands.I carried her to the bed and set her down gently, placing the plate in front of her. She began eating immediately, while I sat beside her, absentmindedly stroking her soft hair.“Daddy will be returning to

    Author’s POVDylan led Anderson down, then stopped before a door and pushed it open.Inside, Elara sat on the edge of the bed, her wrists and ankles restrained by cold metal cuffs bolted to the frame. Her hair fell in tangled waves over her face.“Elara!” Anderson’s voice broke as he rushed toward her.At the sound of his voice, she stirred and slowly, she lifted her head. Her face was pale and drained of strength.“Who did this to you?” Anderson’s voice broke, his hands trembling as he lifted her face.Elara tried to speak, but no words came.“We’re getting you out of here, okay?” he said urgently.“Things don’t work that way.”Dylan’s voice cut through as he stepped forward.“She has six more days left here,” he continued coolly. “Unless, of course… both of you are willing to take her place.”Anderson’s knees hit the floor.“Please… I don’t know what she’s done, but whatever it is, forgive her…” he begged, his voice shaking.“That’s your mistake,” Dylan interrupted, his tone sharpen

    Author’s POVLucien stood in the living room, his hands curled into rigid fists. His jaw flexed as he ground his teeth.“I didn’t know Dylan was this much of a psychopath,” Stephanie muttered from the sofa, her voice trembling despite her attempt to sound composed.“No… I can’t sit here and do nothing.” Lucien shook his head sharply, already striding toward the door. “I’m going to get her.”“Stop.” Stephanie’s voice cut through, firm yet strained, as Lucien halted.“You won’t help her by rushing in blindly,” she continued, rising to her feet. “You’ll only make things worse. She’s in that situation because of you… the least you can do now is not escalate it.”Her voice broke at the end, and she quickly wiped away a tear. “My daughter is in pain right now…”“And that’s exactly why I have to go,” Lucien shot back, turning to face her fully, his eyes burning with determination. “I won’t remain here while he hurts her.”“You…” Stephanie started, but the words died in her throat.Lucien exh

    Liora’s POVAurora shifted lightly in my arms, her small fingers curling into my clothes as I adjusted her against me.A knock sounded but before I could respond, the door eased open.“Ma’am…” Trisha stepped in quietly. “There’s someone here to see you.”“I’m not taking visitors,” I replied, my tone calm but firm.“He said it’s urgent.”I held her gaze for a moment… then gave a slight nod. “Let him in.”She stepped aside as a man in black suit entered, his eyes briefly flicking to Aurora before settling on me.“Mrs. Liora,” he greeted.I inclined my head slightly. “Good afternoon.”Trisha lingered and I turned to her. “You may leave.”She hesitated, then walked out, closing the door behind her.“How can I help you?” I asked, meeting his gaze steadily.He studied me before speaking. “I came because of what you initiated.”A faint frown touched my brows. “You’ll have to be more specific.”“The internal audit,” he said. “It’s already causing disruption.”Aurora stirred faintly in my arms

  • STOLEN LEGACY: The Heiress's Revenge    The Assistant Switch

    Liora’s POVI gently rubbed Aurora’s back, her small body already relaxed in sleep.“Goodnight, darling,” I whispered, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead before switching off the lights and quietly stepping out of her room.By the time I reached mine, I collapsed onto the bed, my eyes closing almost instantly as sleep claimed me.When I opened them again, morning had come, I rubbed my eyes as I sat up, then suddenly, realization struck.“Aurora!”Her name escaped my lips as I shot to my feet and rushed toward her room.She wasn’t on the bed, the sound of running water echoed faintly from within.“Rora?” I called, following the sound toward the bathroom.“Good morning, ma’am. She’s having her bath,” Mandy’s voice rang out, but I was already pushing the door open.Aurora sat in the tub, water droplets clinging to her freshly washed hair, neatly packed up.“Good morning, mummy,” she greeted softly.I forced a smile. “Rora, be a good girl for me, alright? I’ll be back in a minute.” Then
