THE COFFEE MEETING

(Serena’s POV)

The next morning, I arrived at the small coffee shop Lysander had suggested. It was tucked away on a quiet street, the kind of place where people went to avoid being noticed. I spotted him immediately, sitting in a corner booth with his back to the wall.

He was on his phone, speaking in a low voice. I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but his expression was serious. Almost threatening. When he saw me approach, he quickly ended the call.

“I have to go,” he said into the phone, then hung up without waiting for a response.

I slid into the booth across from him, my heart pounding. “Who was that?”

“Just business. Nothing important.” He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “I’m glad you came. I wasn’t sure you would.”

“I almost didn’t.”

A waitress appeared and I ordered a cappuccino. Lysander already had a black coffee in front of him, untouched and probably cold.

“So,” I said once the waitress left. “You promised to tell me everything. Who you really are.

    THE COLD MORNING(Serena's POV)I woke up to sunlight streaming through unfamiliar windows. For a moment, I forgot where I was. Then everything came rushing back. Helena. Isabella's kidnapping. The marriage proposal and Lysander walking out.I sat up in the massive bed and rubbed my face. My body ached from tension and lack of proper sleep. I had spent most of the night tossing and turning, my mind racing with questions and fears.A soft knock came at the door. "Miss Vaughn? Breakfast is being served in the morning room."I got dressed quickly in the same clothes from yesterday and went to check on Isabella. She was already awake, being helped into a fresh dress by one of Helena's staff members."Mama! Look! The nice lady gave me a pretty dress!"It was a beautiful little dress, probably worth more than my entire wardrobe. Isabella twirled in it, delighted."That's lovely, baby." I forced a smile. "Are you ready for breakfast?""Yes! I'm so hungry!" She cheered.We made our way downs

    THE PROPOSAL(Serena's POV)I stared at Helena, still holding Isabella in my arms. My daughter was playing with my hair, completely oblivious to the tension in the room."Granddaughter to be?" Lysander's voice was sharp. He stepped forward, his face dark with anger. "What are you talking about?"Helena smiled serenely. "Exactly what I said. I wanted to spend time with my future granddaughter. Isabella is a delightful child. So curious and bright. She reminds me of you at that age, Lysander.""You kidnapped her!" I said, my voice rising. "You took my daughter from her school without my permission!""Kidnapped is such a harsh word," Helena said, waving her hand dismissively. "I prefer to think of it as an unexpected visit. And as you can see, Isabella is perfectly fine. We had a lovely afternoon together.""You had no right!" My arms tightened around Isabella. "You can't just take someone's child!""Technically, I can do whatever I want." Helena's voice went cold. "I have the resources

    THE TRAP(Damien's POV)Eleanor returned home just before dinner. I heard her car pull up, heard her voice in the entrance hall giving instructions to the staff. My body tensed automatically, waiting for the confrontation I knew was coming.She would have heard by now. About the club. About the hotel. About my night of weakness and stupidity. Eleanor always found out everything.I braced myself as I walked down to the dining room. She was already seated at the head of the table, looking through some documents. She glanced up when I entered."Good evening, Damien. I hope you had a productive day.""It was fine." I muttered, trying not to act suspicious."Good. Sit down. Dinner will be served shortly." She smiled.She smiled?I sat down quietly, waiting for the other shoe to drop. For the questions about where I had been. For the lecture about family reputation. For the threats.But nothing came.Eleanor continued reviewing her documents. Victoria joined us a few minutes later. The staf

    THE MORNING AFTER(Damien's POV)I walked into the mansion trying to look normal. Trying to act like I hadn't spent the night in a hotel with a woman whose name I couldn't remember. Trying to pretend I wasn't falling apart piece by piece.The house was almost quiet. Some of the staff hadn't resumed duty yet.This was the last place I wanted to be after such a horrible night out.The staff nodded at me as I passed. I forced myself to walk steadily and not like a man who had taken seven bottles of alcohol. They didn't look suspicious. They didn't look like they knew. Good. Because if Eleanor found out about last night, she would use it against me somehow. She always did.I went straight to my room and took a long shower. With a very hot water that burned my skin, turning it pink, and soap that cost more than someone's annual rent. I was trying to wash away the smell of alcohol and her perfume and my bad decisions.When I came out, my phone was buzzing with messages. Most were work rela

    THE ABDUCTION(Serena's POV)I couldn't move. I couldn't think. The phone was still pressed to my ear, but I couldn't hear Elena anymore. All I could hear was the roaring in my head. The sound of my world collapsing.Eleanor has Isabella.My legs gave out. I started to sink to the floor, but strong hands caught me before my butt hit the floor. It was Lysander. He had moved faster than I thought possible. He was holding me up with his face close to mine. I could see the worry in his eyes."Serena? Serena, what happened?" His voice was urgent, and demanding.I tried to speak, but no words came out. My throat was closed. My mouth wouldn't work. I was trembling. I was shaking so hard my teeth were chattering.“Are you cold?” He asked, pulling off his jacket.I shook my head.Then, he noticed the phone in my hands and took it from me. He saw Elena’s name on the screen."Elena? This is Lysander. What happened?"I could hear Elena's voice, tiny and distorted through the speaker.Lysander's f

    THE WORST FEAR(Serena's POV)The day at the office had been long but productive. The large windows showed the city slowly darkening, the lights were beginning to twinkle like scattered stars. Lysander and I had spent hours and hours reviewing financial documents. We spread them out across the massive oak table, bank statements, transaction records, shell company profiles. We were planning the next phase of our strategy against Eleanor. Every paper was a weapon. Every number was a step closer to bringing her down.My eyes were tired from staring at numbers, but my mind was sharp, and focused. Lysander was a calm, steady presence across from me. He moved pages with a quiet efficiency."Claire's condition is improving faster than expected," Lysander said, breaking a comfortable silence. He turned his laptop around so I could see. He pulled up new medical reports on the screen. The charts and graphs showed a positive trend. "The doctors say she'll be strong enough to move to a private fa
