"Caleb, what's wrong?" My mother asked when I arrived home and threw my jacket on the couch.

She was sitting in the armchair near the fireplace, reading a book. She closed it and placed it on top of the coffee table when she saw me.

"Nothing," I answered, dropping onto the couch.

She turned to me and sighed. "You look like something is wrong. You know you can talk to me about whatever is bothering you. Is it Isolde?"

I looked at her. My mother had never liked Isolde, despite her coming

    •TALIA•"Cancel all my meetings, James," I groaned when I pulled up outside Isolde's driveway. "I am not working today.""Miss Campbell," he answered, his voice trailing off again. "I have postponed your meetings for two consecutive days now and the Reeves Law Firm wants to hear from you.""Well, tell them I'm sick, dummy." I rolled my eyes, slamming the door of my Mini Cooper. "And please don't forward me their emails because I won't read them from my sick bed.""Yes, Miss Camp—"I hung up before he finished talking. James was irritating. He was one of the few people I wished I could never have to wake up and see their faces again.Which was why I was visiting Isolde this morning.She treated me like her own dear sister, and after her father's death, who had left her billions of dollars, she probably didn't know what to do with all of it. And I had the right script in my hand to get some of that cash for my next business idea. The money would last me for a year if she decided to be

You know you can talk to me about whatever is bothering you. Is it Isolde?"I looked at her. My mother had never liked Isolde, despite her coming from a wealthy family. She always said she wasn't good enough for me, that I deserved a more grounded woman. She had always believed that I should have found someone from a lesser family who wouldn't look down on us. I leaned back on the couch and pressed my fingers against my eyes. The evening had started well enough. Marcus Hale was exactly the kind of connection I had spent months trying to get in front of, and I had arranged the dinner myself. I had made the call, suggested the venue, a

    •ISOLDE•After a long 30-minute drive, Caleb and I finally arrived at the restaurant. We were actually going on a double date with a potential investor in my company. In my previous life, I missed the opportunity of identifying him earlier, and he ended up investing in another rival company. But now that I was reclaiming my life and refusing to let things slide as I did before, I knew how I was going to speak with him. "I have a friend who wants to meet you," Caleb informed me when we walked inside the restaurant. "I want him to know the woman I am marrying before attending our engagement party." I smiled as he led me to a table near the window. Though my stomach turned at his touch on my skin, I didn't want it to be obvious. I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced myself to relax a bit. I kept my handbag on my lap, refusing to let the velvet box out of my sight. Caleb sat down and ordered drinks for us while our lunch was being prepared. And after a few minutes, Caleb's fr

    •ISOLDE•My phone buzzed in my coat pocket before the auctioneer could say another word.I lowered my paddle and stepped back from the edge of the room, keeping one eye on the floor as I answered."Edan.""Just checking in," he replied. "How are you holding up?"I watched the auctioneer shuffle his notes at the front of the room. People had sat down on their seats and the low murmur of conversation was dying down around me."I'm fine," I answered. "The auction is about to start. I can't talk for long.""You don't have to talk long. I just wanted to hear your voice." There was a pause. "Are you sure you're alright? You left this morning before I was even awake.""I had somewhere to be." I rolled my eyes. I knew that if I had told him, he would've tried to stop me. "Isolde.""I'm fine, Edan. I mean it."He was quiet for a moment, probably deciding whether to push. "Kate mentioned the Vacheron is going up today.""It is."He sighed. "Isa, Dad is gone.""I know he is.""Then why are you

    •KAELEN•The park was quiet at six in the morning, which was the only reason I was running there. There were no board members, and no photographers stationed outside the building hoping to catch me leaving for a morning meeting. It was just the path, the trees, and the sound of my own breathing.I was two kilometers in when my cell phone buzzed against my wrist.I glanced at the screen. It was my assistant, Roman.I slowed down to a walk and answered. "This better be worth it," I sighed. "Enzo Moretti is selling the Vacheron again," Roman answered. "The golden one. There's an auction this afternoon at the Ellison House. It starts at two."I stopped walking.The Vacheron Constantin golden pocket watch had surfaced twice in private sales over the past four years, and both times I had missed it. Once because I was in Singapore closing a deal that couldn't wait, and once because the seller had pulled out at the last minute.I wasn't missing it a third time."Arrange the car," I answere

    •ISOLDE•The following morning, my brother, Edan, arrived. Seeing him was more heartbreaking than I thought it would be. I wondered what would have happened if I had been a little more careful, or told him to come to the door. Maybe, just maybe, he would've saved my life. Because it was so hard sitting there and smiling at Caleb and Talia as if I weren't there because of them. Even seeing them now made me wonder if they were sleeping together behind my back. I didn't even know when their affair had started. I didn't know how long it took them to decide to end my life.The doctor was still talking when Caleb's hand closed around mine."We should get you home," he whispered, turning to me with that familiar half-smile. "You need rest, and you'll be more comfortable in your own bed."I flinched before I could stop myself.He didn't notice. Or if he did, he said nothing about it. He was already looking past me, toward the curtain, as if the matter were settled.My own bed. The same be
