Chapter 48.

Skye was certain her career was about to end on a bright Tuesday morning.

The email from Adrian Keller's assistant had arrived before eight, requesting her presence in the art director's office as soon as she got in.

There was nothing unusual about being summoned by Adrian anymore, but the timing made her stomach twist, because she had spent most of the previous night buried in research, old archives, and scattered references to Anna, and she had barely managed to make progress on

  • Ten Days to Capture the Biker Heir   New bonds and a stalker

    Chapter 60.Anna leaned back in the bistro chair, the sunlight filtering through the café.She watched Kai, noting the way his shoulders had finally dropped an inch from his ears. The tension that had defined him since the reveal… the rigid posture of a man expecting a blow, had softened.“You’re staring, Aunt Anna,” Kai said, though there was no bite in his voice. “Can I call you that?” He asked and Skye had to stifle a smile at the sudden shyness he was presenting with.Anna laughed and nodded. “I’m just admiring the view. It’s been too long since I saw a Sturm look this human. You’ve got a bit of your father’s jaw,

    Chapter 59.Elise glanced at Skye nervously, “Can they do this later? Adrian expects me back in like an hour.”Skye nodded and informed Kai, so he stood to the side to let the professionals do their job.For the next several minutes, Kai stayed where he was, standing a few feet from Anna while Skye and Elise finished the final photographs and checked the last pieces of audio. His arms were folded across his chest, but there was nothing relaxed about the posture, it was the stance Skye had seen him use countless times when he wanted to look untouchable, except now she knew better. His shoulders were too rigid, his jaw too tight, and his eyes kept returning to Anna as though he was still trying to convince himself she was real.Anna noticed, though she didn't comment on it. Instead she stayed seated beneath the soft light near the window, answering Elise's last questions and glancing toward Kai whenever she thought he wasn't watching. There was something strange about the way the two

    Chapter 58.The day for the final session came and Kai was late.Skye had checked the time four times in the last fifteen minutes and sent him two messages asking where he was.His response had arrived ten minutes earlier.Kai: I'm coming.That was it. Skye had stared at the message for several seconds before shaking her head.Typical Kai.She stood inside the studio, adjusting the position of one of the lights while Elise checked the audio equipment. Anna was already seated near the windows

  • Ten Days to Capture the Biker Heir   You're all I think about

    Chapter 57."My– my boyfriend?" Skye stared at Anna, certain she had misunderstood her, and shook her head quickly, a nervous laugh escaping her as she glanced toward Elise, who was pretending very hard not to listen. Skye hadn't exactly thought of her relationship with Kai as something that was public knowledge yet. So, surely Anna had simply made an assumption, and surely she would apologize.Instead, Anna smiled, a knowing smile that made Skye's stomach twist."Please don't insult my intelligence, Skye," Anna said gently. "I've heard the way you talk about him."Skye's mouth opened, but nothing came out, and she looked down at her camera, suddenly fascinated by the buttons."I wasn't…"Anna's smile widened slightly. "You don't have to explain."Skye finally sighed and nodded. "Okay."Anna gave her one last look before turning toward the door. "I'll see you at the final session.""Of course.""And bring him."Skye watched her leave, still trying to understand how a woman she had o

    Chapter 56.The real shoot with Anna happened three days later.Adrian had finally approved Elise to accompany Skye, though he had done so with the same expression he wore whenever he granted someone permission to breathe in his presence. Skye had not told him the full truth about what they were doing, she had simply explained that she needed Elise for assistance with the sitting and documentation. Technically that was true. She had just left out the part where Elise would be conducting most of the interview.Skye arrived at the studio early, carrying two cameras, spare batteries, memory cards, lighting equipment, and the heavy responsibility of knowing that Anna had trusted her enough to open a door she had kept closed for years.Anna was already there. She stood near the tall windows in a simple cream blouse and dark trousers, her hair loosely gathered at the nape of her neck. There was nothing theatrical about her appearance, no stage makeup, no elaborate styling, no attempt to

    Chapter 55.The staff meeting began at exactly eight in the morning, just like Adrian said.Skye sat near the end of the long conference table, her notebook open in front of her and her fingers wrapped tightly around a pen.She had barely slept the night before, not because of Anna, although the interview had been occupying a large part of her thoughts, but because Adrian Keller had a talent for making compulsory meetings feel like court hearings where everyone already knew who the defendant was.Today she had a feeling she was the defendant.Adrian entered without greeting anyone, carrying a thin folder un
