Scarlett’s POV

I turned when I heard George’s voice.

It was as if the world around me vanished, and the only sound I could hear was the pounding of my heart.

I stopped breathing. My body froze in place.

“Here, you dropped this earlier.”

He handed me a handkerchief, my handkerchief. My favorite one, with my name embroidered on it.

I just stared at it. I couldn’t move.

Time seemed to stop.

“Here…” he repeated, firmer this time, his eyes wide.

I could feel him measuring me, waiting for any kind of reaction.

“Thank you,” I whispered, quickly snatching the handkerchief from his hand. I was about to turn away when I suddenly felt his hand grip my arm.

“Scarlett.”

I swallowed hard.

Shit.

The warmth of his palm on my skin jolted me like electricity.

I looked at his hand holding my arm, I couldn’t move.

I thought I was ready to face him.

But I wasn’t.

Fear. Panic. Tightness. Everything hit me all at once.

Slowly, I turned my head. And that’s when I saw his eyes, filled with emotion

    Audrey’s POVIt all happened in a split second. Something nearly hit me, and I staggered back. Once I recovered, I shot the woman a sharp glare. I really hate dealing with condescending women.“Elena? Are you okay?” I helped her up.“I’m fine, Audrey,” she replied, brushing off her pants.“Miss Sebastian, this is the owner of the gallery, Miss Audrey Castellan,” Scarlett introduced.“Oh…” I heard her voice behind me. The woman’s face instantly lit up as she hurried toward me.“Hello, hello, Miss Castellan… It’s nice meeting you.” I raised an eyebrow when she suddenly pulled my hand on her own to shake it.“The last time I came here, they said you weren’t around, that you had an important meeting,” she added. “By the way, my daughter admires your works. That’s why she asked me to buy your painting,” she continued cheerfully.But then her tone suddenly sharpened. “However! Your employees are incompetent. They cannot even handle a simple request.”“A simple refund cannot even be proce

    Elena’s POVI watched Audrey intently. Silent. Observing. I noticed the slight shift in her expression, something strange I couldn’t explain.In the few days I had been shadowing her, there were moments when I felt like I was looking at Jessica Laviste. I just didn’t know how she ended up with Sage… or how they became lovers.And Sage? I didn’t trust him one bit. My instincts told me he was connected to the syndicate I was investigating. That was one of the reasons I agreed to become his fiancée’s bodyguard. But what I didn’t expect was that Audrey looked exactly like Jessica, and beyond that… I felt she was genuinely kind.After my first day with her, I tried to dig up information. I found some negative reports about her, but I decided to observe her myself first.After we finished eating, we returned to the gallery. I stood outside the building, positioned by the entrance. The work was boring, almost sleep-inducing, but I couldn’t let my guard down. I scrutinized every person coming

    Audrey’s POV“Am I really… Jessica?” I couldn’t stop the question that kept biting at my mind over and over.“Is it possible… that Sage lied to me?”I didn’t know why my heartbeat grew faster as Scarlett spoke. There was a weight in her voice, as if every word she released carried an answer I had been searching for all along.“What’s with my painting?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady even though my hands had turned cold.Scarlett stared at me, straight, unblinking, before she finally spoke.“Your painting stroke… the style… it’s almost the same as Jessica’s. The only difference is the colors. Jessica never used light colors. Always dark.”It felt like a cold breeze brushed the back of my neck. Dark… it sounded like something I didn’t want to dig up. I swallowed hard and took a deep breath.And then I remembered the first time I held a brush again, a memory that began a month after I woke up from the coma.~~ Flashback – 5 Years Ago, Switzerland ~~“Here, try to entertain yours

    AUDREY’S POVI still can’t believe it, Nicholas Ford was the architect of this place?Wow. This hotel… it’s stunning. Elegant, modern, but full of soul. You can tell it was designed by someone with an eye for beauty and depth. He really is that talented.“We worked hard on this for years. That’s why I owe Nick a lot of gratitude,” the man beside him said, giving Nick a hearty pat on the back as if they were long-time friends.My brows furrowed. So… they’re close?“My apologies again, Miss Castellan,” the man continued. “It’s just, you really look like Nick’s ex. Both of you are beautiful. They used to come here together, so I mistook you for her.”I whipped my head toward Nick, eyes wide.“Uhmm.” That was all he muttered, his gaze fixed sharply on the man. But that single sound was enough to silence him instantly.So Jessica is Nick’s ex? That only made me more curious. Who exactly was Jessica? And… what role did she play in Nick’s life?When we reached the restaurant, we were escor

    ELENA’S POVGood thing I managed to stop that slap. Otherwise, I might’ve broken the woman’s arm. The nerve!I instinctively stepped back when Sage arrived. It felt like we were suddenly on the set of a drama, everyone staring, some recording videos, gossiping. In just seconds, it turned into a live drama scene right at the hotel entrance.“Mr. San Fernando!” the woman gasped, her eyes wide.Sage’s glare as he walked closer was sharp, his presence so intense it felt like a storm had swept in. Chilling.I almost laughed at the woman’s expression, like a wilted vegetable, terrified, unsure whether to run or kneel. Clearly not used to being humiliated in public.“You dare try to hurt my fiancée?” Sage asked, cold but cutting. You could almost hear the tension in the air.“So-sorry, Mr. San Fernando! I-I made a mistake!” the woman stammered, unable to look him in the eye.“My apologies, Sir,” added the man beside her, trembling.I shook my head, holding back a laugh. They were pathetic, b

    AUDREY’S POVI gave Elena a quick once-over from head to toe. She was wearing a fitted, sleeveless black turtleneck that emphasized her figure, paired with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers that gave her a polished look. Unlike her usual style, her hair was pulled back in a neat ponytail, simple, yet classy. She carried an aura of a model off-duty.“Ha-ha!” Carly burst out laughing, instantly catching on to what Elena’s look implied.“One car will do, Carly,” I said as we walked outside.“Okay,” she replied, shaking her head and chuckling while glancing at Elena, who clearly looked uncomfortable in her outfit.I just smiled. She’ll get used to it, I thought.We decided to have lunch at a luxurious European restaurant inside a five-star hotel. There seemed to be an event at the venue, the lobby was bustling with people, most dressed in evening attire, and a few familiar faces from the media.As the three of us entered, I instantly felt eyes on us.I could feel the attention.Men turned t
