Aveline POV

I made my way into my room, grateful to finally escape my mother’s endless questions about school.

It wasn’t that I minded her asking. I knew she cared, and I appreciated that she wanted to make sure I was keeping up with my studies despite everything happening at home. I was just tired. There was only so much talk about assignments, lectures, and upcoming tests a girl could handle in one evening.

I closed the door behind me and crossed the room, climbing onto my bed with a large bo

    Aveline POVIt was another day, and Lyla and I were making our way home from school. We walked side by side along the pedestrian lane, but while I was perfectly content enjoying my sandwich, she seemed to have appointed herself the official event planner for my birthday.She had been at it since we left school, scrolling through her phone, comparing venues, checking prices, and occasionally muttering something about decorations. Apparently, my refusal to celebrate this year had fallen on deaf ears. I had tried explaining my reasons more times than I cared to count, but I was beginning to accept that arguing with Lyla was a waste of perfectly good energy.“Can we skip the birthday talk for a while?” I asked, taking another bite of my cheese sandwich. “You've been staring at your phone for ages, looking for a venue.”“Yeah, I know. I'm just trying to find somewhere affordable and nice.” She didn't even look up from her screen.I rolled my eyes. “Why are you putting yourself through all

    Darius POVThe maids had done an excellent job preparing my bath.The enormous marble bathroom was filled with a faint scent of cedarwood and something more delicate, carried by the steam rising from the sunken bathing pool at its center. Tall arched windows overlooked the dark stretch of the royal grounds, where lanterns illuminated the stone pathways and the distant silhouettes of the castle towers. Beyond them, the mountains stood beneath the night sky, their peaks disappearing into darkness.Everything was exactly where it belonged.The folded towels rested on the heated marble counter. My robe had been laid out beside them, and a glass of aged whiskey sat on a small table near the bath.I dismissed the maids before they could offer anything else.Once the heavy doors closed behind them, I removed my clothes, wrapped a towel around my waist, and stepped into the bathing area.The warm water reached my waist as I lowered myself into the tub. I leaned back against the smooth stone,

I knew she cared, and I appreciated that she wanted to make sure I was keeping up with my studies despite everything happening at home. I was just tired. There was only so much talk about assignments, lectures, and upcoming tests a girl could handle in one evening.I closed the door behind me and crossed the room, climbing onto my bed with a large book resting on my lap.It was a photo album.I hadn’t looked through it in a while. Usually, whenever Dad and I had some free time, we’d sit together in the living room, flipping through its pages and laughing at old pictures. He always had something to say about every photograph, especially the embarrassing ones. Sometimes, he’d tell me stories I had heard a hundred times before, but I’d still listen because I loved hearing him tell them.Today, I was doing it alone.I sighed and ran my finger o

    Aveline POVWe continued eating, talking about little things from the day. She told me one of her regular customers had come by the store asking about her, and I told her about a classmate who had nearly fallen asleep during a lecture the previous week.For a little while, everything felt normal.It was just the two of us having dinner, laughing over ordinary things, and pretending that the world outside our little home wasn’t waiting to remind us of everything we had lost.Eventually, my eyes wandered toward the living room.The space looked different now.Even after spending several days getting used to it, I still noticed the empty corners where some of our furniture used to be. The small cabinet beside the television was gone, and the old decorative table Mom had always complained about dusting had disappeared too.The house didn’t look abandoned.It simply looked like someone had been slowly taking pieces of it away.I lowered my gaze to my plate.“How was the store today?” I ask

    Aveline POVBy the time I finished my shift at Brew & Bite, my feet were begging for mercy.I had spent most of the afternoon riding around the city, delivering orders, and trying not to lose my patience with people who apparently believed delivery workers possessed the ability to teleport. My back ached, my legs felt heavy, and I was fairly certain I could fall asleep standing up if someone gave me the opportunity.I hung my delivery bag in its designated place, signed off on the last order, and exchanged goodbyes with the evening supervisor before heading outside.The sun was beginning to sink, painting the buildings in a soft golden glow. I stood beside my scooter for a moment, stretching my arms above my head until my shoulders loosened.“Finally,” I sighed.I put on my helmet, climbed onto the scooter, and started the engine.The ride home was relatively peaceful. Traffic had begun to build, but I managed to avoid the worst of it by taking a familiar route through the quieter str

    DARIUS POVI reached for the tablet again.The study door opened without a knock.“Do you ever get tired of staring at that thing?”Cassian’s voice entered the room before the rest of him did.I didn’t look up.“Do you ever get tired of entering rooms without permission?”“No. It’s one of my most charming qualities.”“It’s one of your most irritating.”“Same thing, depending on who you ask.”He shut the door behind him and crossed the room, carrying a glass of water he had apparently stolen from somewhere in the castle. He dropped into the chair opposite my desk and stretched his legs out in front of him as though he had paid for the furniture.His gaze wandered to the tablet.Then to me.Then back to the tablet.A slow smile spread across his face.“Oh, this is getting serious.”I continued reading.“What’s getting serious?”“You and your little investigation.”“It’s a financial investigation.”“Of course.” He nodded solemnly. “And I’m the most handsome man in this castle.”“I c
