Cleopatra stirred slowly, the soft light of morning slipping through the curtains and brushing warmth across her face. For a moment she stayed still, half-lost between sleep and awareness, until the faint rustle of movement pulled her fully awake.

She blinked open her eyes.

Calvin stood a few steps away, already dressed for work. The quiet focus in his movements made the room feel calmer somehow; shirt neatly buttoned, sleeves adjusted with practiced ease as he checked his watch. There was some

    The rich aroma of pan-seared honey garlic chicken breast, warm white rice, and glazed chicken wings filled the house, settling invitingly around the dining table. But Cleopatra barely spared it a glance as she hurried upstairs, her soft footsteps quick with excitement.She pushed the bedroom door open gently.“Cal… Cal, are you done bathing?”Before she could take another step, Calvin emerged from the dressing room, freshly changed, his damp hair slightly tousled. The moment his eyes landed on her, they softened with warmth.Without hesitation, he closed the distance between them, his arms slipping naturally around her waist, pulling her against him.“Are you done cooking for your baby?” he asked softly, his voice low and affectionate, his gaze holding hers with quiet intensity.A soft giggle escaped her lips.“Yes… I’m done cooking.”She turned as if to leave, but Calvin’s arms tightened just enough to keep her in place.Her breath caught.He leaned closer, his lips brushing against

    Cleopatra stirred slowly, the soft light of morning slipping through the curtains and brushing warmth across her face. For a moment she stayed still, half-lost between sleep and awareness, until the faint rustle of movement pulled her fully awake.She blinked open her eyes.Calvin stood a few steps away, already dressed for work. The quiet focus in his movements made the room feel calmer somehow; shirt neatly buttoned, sleeves adjusted with practiced ease as he checked his watch. There was something grounding about the way he prepared for the day, like even time itself had to fall in line around him.Cleopatra watched him without speaking, a small, sleepy smile forming on her lips.“Heading out already?” she murmured softly, her voice still thick with sleep.Calvin turned at the sound of her voice. The stern edge he carried when he was focused softened immediately when his eyes met hers. He crossed the short distance to the bed without hesitation, like it was the most natural place in

    “I know you,” he said quietly. “You’re not that kind of person. You wouldn’t do something like that.”Cleopatra’s jaw tightened.“Do I look like a virgin to you?” she snapped, yanking her hands free.The words sliced through the space between them.Anthony froze.A flicker of pain crossed his eyes.“Cleo…” he said again, softer this time. “Okay… fine. You’re not. So you did it with him?”“Stop questioning me,” she said sharply, turning away.But she didn’t get far.“Listen,” Anthony’s voice dropped heavier now, raw at the edges.Cleopatra paused.What came next stopped her completely.“I don’t care if he has f*cked you,” he said.Silence lingered for several seconds.“I still want you.”Silence crashed down.Cleopatra slowly turned her head.Anthony’s gaze didn’t waver.“And I will keep chasing you,” he added, voice low and certain, “until you are mine.”Then he released her from the weight of his words, turning away and walking down the corridor without looking back.The elevator doo

    Cleopatra leaned back into her chair, composed like the earlier tension had never touched her at all.The clinking of glass and soft hum of voices filled the space, but her gaze stayed distant.Across the table, Guinevere shifted uncomfortably before speaking.“Cleo… I’m sorry about earlier,” she said quietly. “I shouldn’t have believed the rumors so easily.”Helen exhaled, rubbing her arm as guilt flickered across her face.“Same here,” she added. “I’m sorry too, Cleo. I judged you without even knowing you.”For a moment, Cleopatra said nothing.Then her eyes lifted; calm, piercing, unreadable.She looked straight at Guinevere.“Even if you knew me,” she said softly, “I would still feel like a stranger to you.”The words landed heavier than any accusation.Silence brushed across the table.Anthony quickly cleared his throat, forcing a grin as he raised his glass.“Alright, alright, enough heavy talk. This is supposed to be a celebration, not a trial. Let’s drink and enjoy ourselves.”

    Her eyes glinted.“Katie, would you like to hear something?”“Yeah,” Katie replied.“In the future, when I raise the alarm, he won’t be able to deny anything. People will remember.” She leaned forward slightly. “They’ll say: he’s done it before… so of course he could do it again.”Katie blinked then burst into a grin, tapping Cleopatra’s shoulder.“Damn, girl… you're wicked.”Cleopatra laughed, light and unrestrained.“This?” she said, tilting her head slightly. “This is just the beginning.”The words lingered playful on the surface, but dangerous underneath.A brief pause followed before Cleopatra spoke again, more casually this time.“Katie… why hasn’t Calvin shown up at all during the project?” she asked, her tone softer, almost thoughtful. “I wanted to ask him, but… I didn’t want to seem clingy, you know?”Katie’s expression didn’t falter. “He’s buried in work,” she replied smoothly. “A lot is going on. I don’t think he’ll be coming.”Cleopatra frowned slightly. “Is it because of

    “Oh, it’s simple,” Helen pressed, leaning back smugly. “You’ve been seducing Mr. Calvin. That’s how you secured your spot. No rookie lands a major project like this without… extra effort.”“Stop spouting nonsense.”Xander’s voice cut through sharply.“Yeah, that’s ridiculous,” Sabrina added immediately.Helen shrugged, unbothered. “I’m just repeating what people are saying.”“Well, let me correct that,” Katie snapped, her voice firm, protective. “Cleopatra didn’t just impress the CEO. Major directors and photographers recognize her work. Rookie or not—she delivers.”“But the rumor says she’s selling her body,” Guinevere chimed in smoothly, her smile delicate and cruel.Cleopatra’s jaw tightened.So this was their game.Jealousy thinly veiled as concern.Her gaze shifted slowly to Guinevere, sharp and knowing.“Well, Guin… it seems you’re quite worried about me.”“Of course, Cleo,” Guinevere replied without missing a beat. “Why wouldn’t I worry about my… bestie?”Silence stretches for

    Guinevere staggered to her feet, her chest heaving as ragged breaths tore in and out of her lungs. “Why are you just standing there?!” she barked, her voice sharp and frantic. “Go catch her!”Cleopatra moved back again, but loose rocks tumbled into the sea below, forcing her to steady herself immed

    Cleopatra dragged herself across the rain-soaked earth, mud and water clawing at her as her freezing clothes clung to her skin. Each movement tore a gasp from her throat, exhaustion crushing her with every inch she gained.She bit back the urge to cry out, forcing herself forward through sheer will

    “Why am I tied up? Why can’t I see anything? How do I get this blindfold off? Where… where the hell am I?” Cleopatra’s voice cracked, raw and ragged, her panic clawing its way up her throat. Darkness pressed in from every side, her hands struggled uselessly against the bindings, and her heart raced

    Cleopatra stepped out of the taxi, slowly lifting her head as her breath caught at the sight of the towering INK Model skyscraper before her. Gleaming beneath the sky, its exotic design and flawless structure seemed to embody both elegance and ambition. For a moment, she simply stood there, mesmeri
