    Elara stepped into the lobby of Vane Headquarter.. Immediately dipped into a sea of hushed murmurs. Employees leaned over glass railings and whispered behind raised tablet screens, their eyes watching her every move. “That’s her...” “I can’t believe she actually showed up here after the split...” “No shame at all... I'm guessing she wants other shares from the Vane. The Pierce Corporation was going down before..” Elara didn't give them so much as a glance..she walked pass and slid into the elevator. The doors glided shut, cutting off the gossip outside. When the brass indicator dinged at the Tech Department floor, the doors parted. A few engineers and data analysts snapped their heads up, surprised to see her, but Elara paid them no mind as she cut walk the floor toward the corridor leading to Sin’s private office. "Despite all the trash flying around in the news... it seems you still haven't learned how to stay away." The snide voice said from behind her. Elara halted. Clos

    "No..."A strangled whimpering sound echoed through a bedroom.On the king-sized bed, Cassius thrusted his head side to side against the pillows, his face twisted in agony as a ghost from his past dragged him deeper into the dark.Cold sweat slicked his tattooed chest, his fingers clawing at the sheets."No... please... no more..."The unseen horrors in his mind clawed closer–"Don't touch her!"Cassius bolted upright with a gasp as his eyes open in the dim room. His chest heaved and breath tearing through his throat as sweat dripped down his forehead.."Elara..." his voice trembling voice..He gulped..as a ache settled behind his temples.He raised a shaking hand, pressing his palm forcefully against his forehead to suppress the migraine threatening to split his skull open."Seven years..." he rasped, letting out an exhale as he stared out the window. "Seven goddamn years, and the same fucking nightmare still owns me."Slowly, the wild panic in his eyes began to settle. The terror di

    Elara stepped out through the glass doors of Pierce Corporation, she started down the steps toward her car parked across the lot.Suddenly a blinding headlights swept over her as a sedan drove straight toward her.Elara gasped, missing her feet in a split second as the vehicle surged forward. She threw her arms up to brace herself–An arm wrapped around her waist, yanking her backward onto the curb just as the car past, its tires screeching against the asphalt before speeding off.."Oh my God..." Elara choked out, her knees threatening to give way as she clutched her chest.. "What kind of lunatic drives like that?!""Are you alright?"The voice resonated right above her head.Elara snapped her gaze upward, realizing she was still pressed securely against a broad chest, an eyes locked onto hers, she recognized instantly.Alaric.She immediately pushed against his shoulders, taking a step backward to regain her composure."I... yeah. I'm fine.." she breathed out, letting out a shaken si

Killian rasped into a deadly whisper that made the hair on the back of Mr. Armstrong’s neck stand on, "...to offer me your pathetic, useless daughter as a replacement for my wife?" Armstrong swallowed.. "K-Killian... I only meant..it was merely a strategic suggestion–" "If you ever suggest for even a second that any other woman alive could ever hold a candle to her..." Killian cut in, " I won't just ruin your business, Mr. Armstrong. I will personally tear your empire down brick by brick and leave you with nothing, even if it will get me dragged down." Killian rose from the couch. He adjusted the cuffs of his black suit, his expression chillingly calm.. "Courtney is nothing but an insect under my boot at Vane Enterprises.." Killian gritted out, staring down at Mr. Armstrong with anger. "And if you...or she..attempt to play

    Elara paced the living room, her thumb was pressed against her lips, her teeth nibbling mindlessly at her nail as her mind raced..Patrick leaned back on the couch, his eyes tracking her back-and-forth movement until he finally let out a bored sigh."Will you stop pacing already?" he grumbled, throwing his hands up in exasperation. "You're giving me anxiety just watching you create a hole into your floor."Elara stopped abruptly, looking toward him as she released a breath."I mean, look at the bright side.." Patrick continued, relaxing against the cushions. "You agreed to move into his den. Isn't that literally what you wanted? To get close enough to Cassius to find those files you say you needed to get.."Elara furrowed her brow."Moving in with Cassius isn't the part that's tearing my nerves apart, Patrick." she said and took a step closer, "I...

    A few days later...Elara walked down a hallway, Beside her, a uniformed assistant guided her toward the door at the end of the corridor.When they reached, the assistant stopped, offering a stiff bow."You may go straight in, Miss Elara.." she said softly before turning and disappearing down the hallway.Elara watched her leave, taking a breath to settle the knot twisting in her stomach. She reached out and knocked firmly on the door."Come in, Elara.." Cassius’s voice came instantly through the door.*Of course he knew i was here.* she muttered bitterly under her breath.She opened the door and stepped inside.The office was cold and floor-to-ceiling glass that overlooked the skyline.The temperature alone made her skin prickle.Cassius stood behind his desk, but his eyes were already glued to her the moment she walked in.A smile lit up his face.He rounded the desk with eager strides, closing the distance between them in seconds and pulling her into a tight hug before she could ev
