The Tyrant's Bride Vow 137. The Box That Shouldn't Exist
The next morning arrived with clear blue skies and relentless summer heat.Sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Cassel mansion, washing the marble floors in gold.Damian barely noticed it.He had spent most of the night awake.Between the recording from Emirez Cassier, Adrian's information about Clarisse's shares, and the growing list of names connected to Isabella's death, sleep had become impossible.His coffee had long gone cold when his phone rang.The caller ID made him pause.Alexander Cassel.Damian stared at the screen for several seconds before answering."Father."A brief silence followed.Then Alexander spoke."I want to see you."Damian leaned back in his chair."About what?""Your mother."That was enough.Half an hour later, Damian's car entered the private cemetery owned by the Cassel family.The summer wind stirred gently through rows of white stone monuments.The cemetery was quiet.Peaceful.Too peaceful.Alexander was already there.Standing b
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 136. The Side You Chose
The video of Clarine and Victor arguing inside Cassel Group spread faster than anyone expected.By noon, it was already everywhere.Business pages.Financial forums.Entertainment news.Even gossip accounts.Everyone had an opinion.Some mocked Clarine.Some criticized Victor.Others focused on Sofiya.The scandal became public entertainment.And public entertainment was exactly the kind of thing investors hated.Inside Cassel Group's headquarters, the atmosphere felt unusually tense.People lowered their voices when they passed each other.Executives avoided unnecessary conversations.No one wanted to become the next headline.Victor had spent years building an image of control.One careless public scene had cracked that image.Not enough to destroy him.But enough to hurt.And Damian knew it.Unfortunately, he had no time to enjoy it.A knock came from his office door."Come in."Sofiya entered carrying several reports.Professional.Elegant.Composed.As if the entire scandal outsi
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 135. The Last Witnesses
The lights in the penthouse study were still on long after midnight.The city glittered beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, but neither Damian nor Enola paid attention to it.A half-finished cup of coffee sat forgotten beside Damian's laptop.Enola was seated across from him, replaying the recording she had secretly made during her conversation with Emirez Cassier.Again.And again.And again.The old man's voice filled the quiet room.Fragments.Names.Dates.Hints.Nothing complete.Yet somehow, all of it felt connected.Damian leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyes.For the first time, the documents Adrian had handed over and Emirez's testimony seemed to point toward the same conclusion.A pattern.Not coincidence.Not a tragic love triangle.Not merely Clarisse.Something much bigger.Someone had been erasing evidence for decades.Someone had been cleaning every trail that led back to Isabella Moreau Cassel.Enola paused the recording.The silence that followed felt heavy.
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 134. The Shares of the Dead
The Elysian Reserve crisis had become the biggest topic in the city for nearly a week.News channels wouldn't stop talking about it.A body discovered inside one of the private villas.A police investigation.Questions about security.Questions about management.Questions about whether Elysian Reserve was still safe.The headlines were relentless.Unfortunately, Cassel Group and Spark Winery had both been dragged into the mess.Which was exactly why Enola sat at the head of the conference table that morning, listening to the latest report from the Elysian management team."The public sentiment is improving slightly," one executive said. "But not enough."Enola folded her arms."That's expected."The executive nodded."We need something bigger."Silence settled around the room.Then Hayle spoke."What about the anniversary event?"Several heads immediately turned.Enola looked at him.Hayle continued."Spark Winery's fifty-fifth anniversary is next month."A few people exchanged glance
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 133. The Name That Shouldn't Exist
The morning felt heavier than usual.Not because of the weather.Not because of the endless headlines still circulating about Elysian Reserve.But because nobody in the Enolian mansion had truly slept.Damian stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his study, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other held a cup of black coffee that had long gone cold.His eyes were fixed on the city skyline.Unmoving.Unreadable.The discovery from Gabriel Ford's apartment had shattered whatever fragile calm he still had left.A video.A simple video.Yet somehow it carried more weight than years of investigations.The door opened.Damian didn't turn around.He already knew who it was.Enola entered carrying a tablet in one hand."You haven't slept."Neither had she.Damian glanced at her."You look like you haven't either."A faint smile touched her lips."I learned from the best."His gaze softened slightly.Only slightly.These days, even small moments of softness felt rare.Before e
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 132. The Woman Beside Him
The news exploded before noon.By the time Enola stepped out of the elevator at Spark Winery, every major business outlet had already picked up the story.Not because of the murder investigation at Elysian Reserve.Not because of the growing tension between Spark Winery and Cassel Group.But because of a photograph.One single photograph.Damian Cassel and Sofiya Whitmore standing side by side after a press conference.The headline was impossible to miss.THE WOMAN STANDING BESIDE DAMIAN CASSELEnola stared at the tablet Luna handed her.Then she calmly handed it back."Anything else?"Luna blinked."That's it?""What reaction are you expecting?"Luna hesitated."Maybe... anger?"Enola walked toward her office."I'm too busy to be angry over a photograph."That should have been reassuring.Instead, it made Luna more nervous.Because whenever Enola became too calm, someone usually suffered afterward.Inside her office, Enola dropped her handbag onto the couch before opening another rep
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 72. The Last Night Before the Storm
The snow fell heavily that night, forming a white blanket that engulfed the entire city. Street lights glowed dimly behind the low-hanging cold fog. Winter had reached its peak, and the atmosphere felt heavy... as if something was waiting to break.In Damian’s office on the top floor of Cassel Towe
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 71. The Fall of the Main Pole
Snow fell slowly in mid-December, like cold ash covering the city. The air was piercing—harsh, sharp, and threatening, just like the Cassel family’s current situation. At Cassel Group headquarters, the morning atmosphere was gloomier than the sky outside.Damian took off his long black coat, his ja
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 70. Winter Reveals a New Face
Winter rolled over Spark Valley with a white blanket that grew thicker day by day. The morning fog descended like the breath of a ghost, hanging low over the vineyards that now lay dormant in the frost. The main building of Spark Winery stood tall—more imposing than ever—as if it too had plunged in
The Tyrant's Bride Vow 79. Shadows of Blood That Never Existed
The snow fell heavily that night, covering the entire city sky with a silent but eerie white. Behind the glass window of Adrian’s private office, the city lights glowed dimly like dying stars. Adrian stood with his back to the city, his hand clutching a glass of whiskey as if weighing whether to dr
