THE AGREEMENT

(Serena's POV)

I stood in Lysander's office, still processing what had just happened. Helena had left moments ago, but her presence lingered in the room like an expensive perfume.

"Your grandmother is terrifying," I said finally.

Lysander smiled. "She has that effect on people. But she's also incredibly powerful. With her help, you'll be untouchable."

"I said yes because I want Eleanor Blackwood to pay for what she did. But Lysander, there's something we need to discuss." My tone charged.

"What is it?"

I took a deep breath, pulling a seat. "Isabella. She asked me this morning if you could be her father."

Lysander's expression softened. "Serena, I would be honored to be a father figure to her."

"No." I said immediately, my voice firm. "That's exactly what I don't want. Lysander, you're a good man. You've been kind to both of us. But Isabella is getting too attached. She's confusing your kindness for something more permanent."

"Would that be so bad?"

"Yes. Because I don't

    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

    THE CHARITY LIE(Damien's POV)The next morning, Eleanor called Victoria and me to her study before breakfast. She looked pleased with herself, which always meant something terrible was about to happen."We have a photo opportunity today," she announced. "A charity event. We'll be distributing food and clothing to motherless homes across the city."Victoria smiled. "Excellent idea. The press will love it. Especially after all the negative attention.""Exactly. We need to remind the people that the Blackwoods are generous. That we care about the less fortunate."I said nothing. I knew how these events went. Eleanor loved looking charitable while spending as little money as possible."The van will be loaded and ready by ten," Eleanor continued. "We'll visit three homes. Make sure to smile for the cameras. Look compassionate. Touch the children's heads. You know the routine.""What are we distributing?" I asked."The usual. Clothes, canned food, some toys. Nothing expensive.""Where did

    THE BREAKING POINT(Damien's POV)I couldn't stop looking at the photo. Serena in her silver dress. Smiling at another man. Looking happier than she ever looked with me.I had stared at it for hours last night. I had barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her smile. That beautiful, genuine smile that should have been mine.But it wasn't mine. It never had been.Now I was sitting in a board meeting, surrounded by executives and investors, and I couldn't focus on anything they were saying. My mind was thousands of miles away in California. With the woman I had destroyed."Mr. Blackwood?" Someone was talking to me. "What are your thoughts on the proposal?"I blinked. "I'm sorry. Could you repeat the question?"The man looked annoyed. "The development project in Brooklyn. Do we move forward or wait for the environmental studies to be completed?""Whatever Eleanor decides," I said flatly.The room went quiet. Everyone looked uncomfortable.Eleanor was sitting at the head of the t

    THE FIRST STRIKE(Serena's POV)The morning after the charity event, I woke up feeling different. The silver dress was hanging in my closet, a reminder that last night had been real. I had walked among the most powerful people in the world. I had shaken hands with senators and business moguls. I had seen the fear in their eyes when they looked at Lysander.And now it was time to put that power to use.My phone rang while I was making breakfast for Isabella. It was Lysander."Good morning," his voice was calm but serious. "We need to talk. Can you come to my office?""When?""Now. Elena can watch Isabella, yes?""Yes, but what's this about?""We're moving forward. Today. I'll explain when you get here."He hung up before I could ask more questions.Elena agreed to watch Isabella without hesitation. "Go," she said. "Do what you need to do."Thirty minutes later, I was sitting in Lysander's office. He looked like he hadn't slept. There were papers spread across his desk and his laptop wa

    THE WORLD OF POWER(Serena's POV)The dress Lysander had sent to my apartment was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Silver silk that shimmered like moonlight. Pearls sewn into intricate patterns across the bodice. A long train that pooled on the floor like liquid mercury."This must have cost a fortune," Elena said as she helped me zip it up."I don't even want to know how much," I replied, looking at myself in the mirror. I barely recognized the woman staring back at me. She looked powerful. Elegant. Nothing like the broken woman who had fled New York almost a year ago."You look like a queen," Elena said softly."I feel like an imposter.""That's because you're not used to being treated the way you deserve. Get used to it, Serena. This is your life now."Isabella was already asleep. I kissed her forehead before I left, promising Elena I would be home before midnight.Lysander was waiting outside in a sleek black car. When I stepped out of the building, his eyes widened."You
