The city lights blurred past the car window, streaks of gold and red bending with the curves of the avenue. I sat back, hands folded over my lap, James’s steady driving the only sound apart from the faint hum of the engine.And yet, I couldn’t quiet the thoughts circling my mind, sharp and relentless. Lu. Lillium. My fiancé. The one person I should have known inside out, yet every detail I thought I had seemed suddenly fragile, like sand slipping through my fingers.Was he… connected to Augustus? Lupinos? That man today—the heir to the White Lutos throne—he looked exactly like Lu. No, not just like him… identical. My chest tightened at the memory, the image of that smile, that same way his eyes seemed to linger on me for just a beat too long.I ran a hand down my face, pressing my fingers into my temple. Was it possible? Could Lu really be tied to the most powerful empire in existence, a secret I’d never been told? My mind raced, jum

Lillium RooseveltThe apartment door clicked shut behind me, the faint hum of the city seeping through the walls like a distant heartbeat. I held the gift bag in my hand, the paper rustling softly, but the moment I stepped in, it wasn’t the bag that caught my attention.Dominus was there. Sitting on the kitchen counter, one leg casually bent, the other dangling, his hands resting on either side of him. His gaze was distant, almost haunted, like he was carrying the weight of a thousand thoughts in that still frame. The usually commanding aura he exuded seemed tempered by something heavier tonight.“Dominus…” I breathed, closing the door quietly behind me. My steps were cautious, almost hesitant, as I approached him. The floorboards creaked under my weight, betraying my worry.I reached out instinctively, placing a hand on his forehead. “You’re burning up or something?” I asked, concern threading my voice.He blinked at me, then let out a s
The Billionaire's Sunshine One Hundred: The Missing Pieces
James FletcherI leaned against the edge of the sleek steel table in the IT room, arms crossed, as the hum of computers and the quiet chatter of the hired techs filled the space. Screens glowed like tiny suns in the dim light, each one a portal to someone’s private world, and tonight, that world belonged to Lillium Roosevelt.I watched them move—fingers flying over keyboards, eyes scanning lines of data, servers humming—but I couldn’t focus. My mind kept flashing back to what I had seen earlier: Adam, my Boss, a storm unleashed. Every curse, every shout, every fragment of anger directed at Lu… it burned into my memory like fire on steel.He had cursed the only person he’s ever truly loved like no one else ever would. I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. My chest tightened just thinking about it. The penthouse had been a battlefield, and I had been a silent witness, helpless to stop the damage.I rubbed my temples, trying to push the images awa
The Billionaire's Sunshine Ninety-Nine: The Catalyst's Stage
Sebastian "Iris" SmithThe café had emptied, leaving the clatter of cups and the faint murmur of street traffic outside as the only companions to my thoughts. I sat alone at the small table, the recorder lying in front of me like a little black heart I wasn’t sure I could handle.I stared at it, my thumb brushing its cold surface, the voice inside repeating words that made my stomach twist. “Do you love him?”… “Love? Please. I’m only in it for the money.”I should have felt satisfaction. Triumph. Yet, nothing like that came. Instead, a weight settled on my chest, pressing me into the chair. I realized, with a sudden clarity, that Lu—my “target,” my pawn—wasn’t the same as the rest. Too clean, too untainted. Too… good.I wanted to shove the recorder away, smash it, throw it into the river if I could. But I couldn’t. Not yet.A shiver ran down my spine—a presence that wasn’t mine. I stiffened.“Everything is going according to plan

The Billionaire's Sunshine Ninety-Seven: Reflections In Glass
Lillium Roosevelt The café had thinned out as the afternoon wore on. Outside, the sun dipped low, streaking the sky with soft apricot light that spilled through the tall windows. The city noise blurred into a hum beyond the glass, leaving Iris and me in our little pocket of calm.He stirred the last of his espresso, lazy circles of the spoon clicking against porcelain. His gaze dropped suddenly to my hand resting on the table. For a beat, he didn’t say anything—just tilted his head, eyes narrowing slightly like he was lining up a shot.Then he smirked. “That’s new.”I blinked, following his line of sight. The ring glinted under the light, simple yet unmistakable. My chest tightened.“You’re married?” he asked, too casually to be casual.“No,” I said quickly, shaking my head. “Not married.”His brow arched. “Engaged, then?”I hesitated, then sighed, a faint smile tugging at me. “Yeah. Recently engaged.”
The Billionaire's Sunshine Ninety-Six: When Silence Echoes
Dominus VaneThe city burned gold. That dying light of afternoon, where shadows stretch long and the air feels heavy with secrets, poured through Lu’s apartment window. I stood there, motionless, cigarette in hand, the smoke curling toward the pane as I stared at the building opposite.I should’ve been thinking of my next move. Of how I would tell Lu the truth—that he owes more than he could ever imagine, that his name isn’t clean, not with the chains I’ve seen bound around it. But the words…they stuck like grit in my throat. How do you tell someone you’ve known since they were barely grown that the life they’ve fought for is shackled to someone else’s debt?The knock broke the silence. A single rap against the door—measured, sharp, deliberate. Not the kind of knock that asked permission.I flicked the cigarette into a glass of water and turned. My chest tightened as I crossed the apartment, every step heavy with the knowledge of who had sent it.
