The fire hissed, sparks snapping into the air as if the flames themselves had overheard Elena’s words.

Valeria’s throat was dry, her voice shaking. “You… you’ve been lying to me?”

Elena’s eyes filled, wide and desperate. “Valeria, listen....”

“No.” Valeria shook her head fiercely, her hands trembling. “No more half-answers. No more vague excuses. Tell me the truth right now. What are you hiding?”

Max stepped forward, his jaw hard. “Yes, Elena. Let’s hear it. All of it.”

Elena pressed her back against the wall, her chest rising and falling fast. For a moment she looked like a trapped animal, caught between fight and surrender.

“I didn’t want it to come to this,” she whispered.

Valeria’s voice cracked. “Then what did you want?”

“To protect you!” Elena cried, her words spilling out. “That’s all I ever wanted. From the beginning. Even when I had to play both sides.”

The room went silent.

Max’s eyes narrowed. “Both sides?”

Valeria’s heart lurched. “What does that mean?”

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Queen    Bargain

    The smoke clung to her lungs like poison. Valeria staggered through the wreckage, clutching her daughter’s hand, coughing as every breath burned. Her eyes watered, the night around her a blur of fire, falling ash, and shadows that moved like monsters in the trees.“Mommy, it hurts,” her daughter whimpered, her little voice thin, frightened.Valeria knelt quickly, pulling the girl close, forcing calm into her voice though her heart thundered. “I know, baby. Just a little longer. We’ll get out. I promise.”But even as she spoke, a voice slid through the smoke—deep, mocking, cruel.“Promises, promises. You always make them, Valeria. And you always break them.”Her blood turned to ice.Damien stepped into view, his figure towering, his coat glinting with sparks. The fire painted him in shades of hell, orange, red, black, like he belonged to the flames themselves. His eyes locked on her, sharp and burning with hunger that wasn’t just anger.Valeria pushed her daughter behind her, straighte

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Queen    Forcefully

    Max dragged Elena out into the snow, his arm locked around hers. She stumbled, coughing hard, her hair wild, face streaked with soot. The bitter cold hit them like a slap, but behind them, the blaze burned hot enough to sear their backs.“Keep moving!” Max barked, half-pulling her toward the tree line. “We can’t stay here!”Elena wrenched her arm free, spinning to face him. Her chest heaved, eyes wide, reflecting the fire. “Valeria, she’s still out there! With her daughter!”Max’s jaw clenched. His clothes were torn, his knuckles raw. He looked like a man made of stone, but his voice cracked just slightly when he spoke. “I know. I’m going back for her.”“No,” Elena snapped, grabbing his coat with both hands. “That’s what Damien wants! He’ll use her to draw you in. You’ll be walking into a trap.”Max shoved her hands away, his eyes burning hotter than the fire. “I don’t care if it’s a trap. I’m not leaving her to die.”“You’ll die with her!” Elena shouted back. Her voice carried across

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Queen    The Devil

    The night was so quiet that Valeria could hear the crackle of the ice under her boots. Her breath came ragged, steaming in the bitter air. She gripped the empty rifle with trembling hands, but her strength was gone. Her knees wanted to buckle.And then he appeared.Damien stepped onto the frozen stream as if he owned it. His black coat brushed the snow. His boots crunched softly, steady, unhurried. The faint glow of the burning cabin painted him in flashes of orange. In his hands, a sleek rifle gleamed, still smoking from the last shot. The man he killed lay at her feet, blood staining the ice red.“Get up, Valeria,” Damien said again, his voice even, almost calm. “You’re not finished yet.”Her mouth went dry. She forced herself to straighten, though her body screamed with exhaustion. “Stay away from us.”Damien’s lips curved in a shadow of a smile. “Us? You mean you and the little one hiding over there?” He tilted his chin toward the trees, where a small figure clutched the trunk of

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Queen    Blood on the Ice

    The men stepped out of the shadows, their boots crunching on the snow. Flashlights blinded Valeria for a moment, white beams cutting across her face. She squinted, branch gripped tight in her frozen hands.“Well, well,” one of them sneered. “The lady of the hour.”Another chuckled. “The boss said bring her in alive. Didn’t say anything about the condition.”Valeria’s heart hammered, but she kept her chin high. “If you touch my daughter, I swear I’ll....”The first man cut her off with a laugh. “Your daughter’s already running scared. Easy pickings. We’ll find her in no time.”Rage flared hot in her chest. “You won’t touch her.”One of them raised his gun lazily, pointing it toward her chest. “Then drop the stick, sweetheart. You’re not scaring anyone.”Valeria’s grip only tightened. Her voice trembled, but her eyes stayed locked on his. “You’ll have to kill me first.”The man smirked. “That can be arranged.”He started forward.Valeria swung. The branch cracked against his arm with a

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Queen    Into the Snow

    The night swallowed them.Snow crunched under Valeria’s boots as she pulled her daughter through the trees, every step sharp with cold. Behind them, the cabin burned brighter, flames climbing into the sky like a beacon. Shouts carried through the woods. Damien’s men. They were spreading out, searching.“Mommy....” the little girl’s voice was a fragile whisper, broken by her panting.“Shh,” Valeria hushed, crouching low, her breath clouding in the freezing air. “Quiet now, baby. Quiet.”Her daughter nodded, though her eyes were wide with fear.Valeria knelt, pulling the girl against her chest, and glanced back. Orange light flickered between the trees. Shadows moved, men with rifles, their voices sharp.“They went this way!” one shouted.Valeria’s stomach dropped.She pressed her lips against her daughter’s ear. “We need to keep moving. Stay close to me. Don’t let go of my hand, no matter what.”The girl clutched tighter. “I won’t.”Valeria took a breath, steadying her shaking limbs, a

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Queen    The Cellar in the Dark

    The first blast shook the cellar like thunder. Dust rained down from the beams, and the single lightbulb above them flickered before plunging into darkness.“Mommy!”Valeria pulled her daughter closer, wrapping her arms around her trembling little body. The darkness pressed in thick, suffocating, broken only by the sound of boots, gunfire, and fire crackling above them.“It’s okay,” she whispered, kissing her daughter’s hair. “It’s okay, baby. I’ve got you.”“But it’s so loud,” the little girl whimpered. “Are they coming down here?”Valeria’s throat tightened. “No,” she said firmly, even though she didn’t know if it was true. “They won’t find us. We’re safe here.”Another explosion rocked the ceiling. More dust fell, coating her hair and the floor. The air smelled of smoke now, seeping through the cracks.Her daughter buried her face in her chest. “I’m scared.”Valeria closed her eyes, forcing her breath steady. “I know. I’m scared too.”The words slipped out before she could stop the
