Killian's POV

My phone started ringing before the sun was even fully up.

The sharp sound cut through my sleep like a blade.

I groaned and reached for the phone on my bedside table.

Whoever was calling this early had better have a good reason.

I rubbed my eyes and glanced at the screen.

It's James, my secretary.

A bad feeling immediately settled in my stomach.

James never called me at this hour unless something was seriously wrong.

I answered. "What is it?"

His voice sounded s

    Tiffany's POVThe elevator doors closed. And with them, every shred of confidence I had walked into Silver Crest with.For several seconds, I remained standing exactly where I was.Unable to move.Unable to think.Unable to process what had just happened.The receptionist pretended not to stare.The employees passing through the lobby pretended not to notice.But Tiffany Blackwood knew humiliation when she saw it.And she had just been humiliated publicly by Scarlett.Again.My nails dug into my palms as I replayed the scene inside my head.The respect, the admiration, the way the vice president himself had come downstairs to welcome Scarlett personally.Not a secretary, not an assistant, not some junior executive. But the Vice President.And the board had apparently been waiting for her.Waiting for Scarlett.The same Scarlett everyone used to ignore.The same Scarlett everyone used to overlook.The same Scarlett I had spent years convincing myself was beneath me.How?How did this h

    Scarlett's POVThe cold smile remained on my lips as I watched Tiffany from a distance.For someone who constantly claimed she had already won, she certainly spent a lot of time chasing after opportunities that did not belong to her.I adjusted the sleeve of my blazer and continued walking toward the reception area.The sharp sound of my heels echoed softly against the polished marble floor.One step.Then another.The receptionist was still speaking with Tiffany when her eyes suddenly lifted and landed on me.Immediately, her expression changed.Respect appeared on her face.She straightened her posture. "Good afternoon, Luna Scarlett."The greeting echoed across the lobby, several people nearby turned to look.Including Tiffany.The moment her eyes landed on me, the confidence on her face disappeared.Her expression froze completely. For several seconds, she simply stared.As though she could not believe what she was seeing.I was not surprised.The last time Tiffany saw me, I was l

    Scarlett's POVThe following morning, I arrived at the company much later than usual.Not because I wanted to, but because I had barely slept.After speaking with Dominic the previous night, I had remained in my office reviewing proposal documents until well past midnight. By the time I finally returned home, my eyes were burning and my entire body felt heavy from exhaustion.Unfortunately, the project did not care whether I was tired.Neither did Luna Christine.Five days.That was all I had promised.Five days to achieve what countless researchers had failed to accomplish over several years.Five days to secure investors.Five days to prove I was worthy of becoming Alpha.Failure was not an option.The moment I stepped out of the elevator and entered the executive floor, employees immediately greeted me."Good morning, Luna Scarlett."I smiled politely. "Good morning."As I approached my office, Amelia hurried toward me carrying a tablet and a folder.My secretary looked unusually e

    Dominic I stared at Scarlett's name on my screen longer after the call ended as a ridiculous smile tugged at my lips.I leaned back in my chair and stared at the ceiling, then I sighed."Goddess help me."What exactly was wrong with me?I just finished a simple phone conversation, a normal conversation. Nothing extraordinary happened. And yet here I was... Smiling like a fool.If any member of my council saw me now, they would probably think I had lost my mind.I rubbed my forehead and let out a low chuckle.For years, I had remained completely indifferent to women.Beautiful women existed everywhere. Daughters of Alphas, princesses, heiresses, models, and celebrities.Many had tried to gain my attention. Many had thrown themselves at me. But none of them had succeeded.Not because they were unattractive, not because they lacked intelligence.It's because I simply never cared. I felt relationships was unnecessary, complicated, time-consuming, and a distraction.The only reason I had

    Scarlett I clapped my hands once. "Now." Everyone immediately focused. "Let's get to work." I said with a smile. Excitement instantly replaced the emotional atmosphere. Laptops opened, tablets appeared, documents were distributed, coffee was ordered. The room transformed into a battlefield. Not a battlefield of violence but a battlefield of intelligence. Ideas began flying everywhere. Potential investors, manufacturing requirements, production timelines, clinical trials, patent protection, marketing strategies. Goddess, the energy was infectious. Everyone contributed. Everyone had something valuable to offer. Hours passed without anyone noticing. Before long, afternoon arrived, then evening, then night. And still nobody wanted to stop. At one point Daniel stood up and stretched. "My back is officially filing a complaint." Rachel laughed. "You have been sitting for eight hours." "I know." He pointed at me. "She hasn't moved either." Everyone looked toward me. I blinked,

    Scarlett A few seconds later, the door opened. Then they entered one after another. Clara, Daniel, Benjamin, Rachel, Emma, Sophia, and several others. The people who had worked beside me for years. The people I trusted more than almost anyone. For a moment, nobody spoke. They simply stared at me. Then Daniel broke the silence. "Holy Goddess." I laughed. "What?" He pointed at me. "You are the Moonlight heiress?" The others immediately joined in. "I still cannot believe it." "Neither can I." Clara shook her head repeatedly. "Scarlett, what is happening?" I could not help laughing. Their expressions were priceless. Rachel dropped into one of the chairs. "I need explanations." Everyone nodded immediately. I smiled. "Sit down." Within seconds, every chair was occupied. The room felt alive again. Daniel leaned forward. "Start talking." I laughed. "Bossy as always." "Yes." He pointed at me again. "And you are avoiding the question." Everyone laughed
