She slid the papers across the table toward Alana. “You would also need to sign here, Mrs. Ashford.” the lawyer instructed. Alana raised her gaze briefly, confirming her mother’s signature before adding her own with smooth flick and movement of her wrist, while her fingers gripped the pen. A small sense of relief washed through her. “It is official,” the lawyer announced. “All shares from Mrs. Stephanie Gates have been transferred to Alana Gates. You are now the new Chairwoman of Flamme Jewelry & Diamonds. Congratulations, Ms. Ashford.”Alana offered the lawyer a warm, genuine smile. “Thank you for completing the proc

She sighed softly and rose from the pool’s edge, water cascading down her curves as she walked over to him. Without hesitation, she settled onto his thighs, straddling him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She rubbed her face against the warm, solid plane of his chest, breathing him in.“You smell good,” she giggled.“And you’re soaking me,” Roman replied, though the corner of his mouth twitched with amusement.At that, Alana shook her head playfully, sending droplets flying across his face. Roman tried to block the spray with one hand, laughing despite himself while she dissolved into chuckles.“Come swim with me,” she coaxed, standing up from his lap and tugging gently on his arm. “It’s just us.”“I don’t feel like getting wet this afternoon,” he said, leaning back. “I think I’ll just sit here and enjoy the sun.”Alana rolled her eyes, glancing up at the massive glass ceiling that arched high above the indoor pool. Sunlight filtered through in soft, golden shafts, catching on

The doctor’s fingers worked carefully, unwinding the last layers of bandage from Roy’s head and face. As the gauze fell away, Stephanie’s eyes widened in shock.Deep, jagged scars slashed across his once-handsome features; ugly pink and red lines left by shattered glass. The wounds looked raw and vicious beneath the bright light.Roy sat motionless for a moment, his expression unreadable.“Get me a damn mirror!” he snapped when nobody moved.The room remained frozen for a heartbeat before a nurse hurried forward and handed him one.Roy snatched it from her hand and stared at his reflection.

“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” The man at the door said, his tone casual but edged with something sharper, like a blade hidden beneath velvet.Roman’s jaw tightened, the muscle twitching as though he were holding back words he didn’t want to say. His hand lingered on the doorframe, knuckles pale. Alana’s eyes narrowed, her breath catching. That voice. She was certain she knew it. She had heard it recently, though she couldn’t place where.
