Lilith’s POV

I had taken a little stroll across the block and lost track of time. The bus station was nearly empty by the time I stepped under the flickering streetlamp. A cold breeze swept across the pavement, carrying the smell of exhaust and dust. I checked the board again, hoping I misread something, maybe a delayed route, maybe a stray last-minute bus.

But there was nothing.

The last bus had already left ten minutes ago.

Perfect.

I blew out a frustrated breath and looked around. Everywhere was still and quiet. The few people lingering around had already begun drifting off some called rides, some walking home, some disappearing into the shadows like ghosts with places to be.

I pulled out my phone.

Nolan was the reasonable choice. Closer. Familiar. Always ready to swoop in and complain about how reckless I was while still rescuing me anyway.

But right now I didn’t want a lecture.

I didn’t want his disappointed stare or his inevitable, “Lilith, why would you go to Theo’s office? Do

  • Until She Was Theirs   Chapter 69

    Lilith’s POVThe next few days blurred into a fast-paced whirlwind, from the design meetings to prototype inspections, supplier calls, contractor updates, and more strategy sessions than any sane human should endure before breakfast. And yet, in some ridiculous twist of fate, I wasn’t tired. I was wired. Fired up. Determined. The challenge was everything now, not just professionally, but personally.Theo thought he could snatch the contract out from under us? Selene somewhat thought that her smirking threats could rattle me? The twins with their chaos and Cassian-flavored games? No. Not this time.But even as I organized meetings and reviewed preliminary designs, my thoughts drifted more often than I really wanted to admit.Cassian.Where was he with the gang leaders?Why hadn’t I asked him properly?Why did I keep on avoiding the subject?Every time I remembered Selene’s smug face in that restaurant, talking about “Cassian’s unresolved problems” as if she had a fucking right to use h

    Lilith’s POVBy the time I finally got home, the sun had sunk behind the rooftops, leaving behind the sky painted with soft hues of gold and fading orange. The quiet warmth of early evening should have soothed me, but my chest only felt tight since the moment I left Selene at that table.Her voice still rang in my ears.Her warning.Her threat.“Especially for your boys.”I pushed the door open, forcing myself to breathe normally.The smell of food, something rich, something spicy, hit me before I even stepped into the living room. Laughter followed next, warm and familiar. And then….“Lilith?”I blinked, and Nolan appeared in the hallway, sleeves rolled up, his tie loose, hair slightly messy. He expression softened the moment he saw me.“You are back.” He reached out, taking the bag off my shoulder like it weighed more than it did. “We ordered dinner. Cassian insisted on the place you like.”Cassian’s voice drifted from behind him. “No, you insisted. I just agreed so you wouldn’t whi

    Lilith’s POVNolan had barely finished his sentence when my mind began drifting elsewhere, back to the text message glowing on my phone like a quiet threat that refused to go away.‘We need to talk. Restaurant on Kingsway. 2 PM. Don’t keep me waiting—S’I hadn’t replied. I didn’t need to.Selene didn’t send messages because she hoped for answers. She sent them because she knew she would get what she wanted or thought she would.Nolan was still pacing in the office, barking orders at the committee he had assembled, his voice sharp with the pressure of everything now resting on his shoulders. I understood the weight he carried, but I also knew there were some battles I needed to fight alone….this one especially.“I need to attend to something,” I finally said, grabbing my bag.He paused mid-pace. “Lilith.”“I’ll be back soon.”His gaze lingered on my face, searching for the explanation I wasn't offering. But Nolan knew me well enough to understand: if I wasn’t talking, it was because I

    Theo’s POVThe second I walked into the office, I knew everyone had already sensed it.Fear was looming all over the place.It hung in the air like smoke thick, suffocating, clinging to every corner of the building. People scattered the moment they heard my footsteps. Even from down the hall I could hear the hurried scrapes of chairs, the frantic clatter of keyboards suddenly being typed on far too fast. My employees were scrambling like ants, pretending to be productive, praying not to catch my attention.Good.They should be afraid.They should tremble.Because right now I was livid.The rage didn’t creep in slowly, it detonated the moment the news reached me: the Contractor was reconsidering the entire contract because Lilith, in one stupid burst of emotion, had cornered him in a hallway and turned everything upside down.All because she couldn’t stay out of my way.And the worst part? It fucking worked.She got him to reopen negotiations. She forced him into a challenge. She undid

  • Until She Was Theirs   Chapter 65

    Nolan POV The kind of anger that slams into your chest first thing in the morning, that spreads like fire in your blood, and leaves destruction in its wake. The kind that made every employee in my department avoid my office like the plague. The kind that made even seasoned executives pretend they suddenly remembered urgent phone calls the moment I stepped into the room.Because Theo had somehow stolen the contract. The contract we were supposed to get. To seal the done deal. The contract we worked for, Lilith worked so hard for.The contract Lilith and I had double-checked, triple-checked, and re-evaluated until two in the morning at least three times.I slammed another file onto my desk. “How the hell,” I muttered under my breath, “does a man whose company nearly tanked last year suddenly get a multi-dollar performance bike deal?”No one answered, of course. No one dared.“I need the reports again,” I snapped.Three people scrambled immediately.“And someone find the last correspond

  • Until She Was Theirs   Chapter 64

    Lilith’s POV The next morning, I didn’t wait for Nolan. I didn’t wait for Cassian. I barely waited long enough to tie my hair back before leaving the house with my laptop bag and a folder full of documents that proved without a single doubt that our company had earned that bike contract.Theo had blindsided us. That fact alone burned like acid through my veins. But the way he did it? Stealing a deal we were already certain we won? That was personal.And I wasn’t going to let it go.I arrived at the luxurious hotel where the contract manager, Mr. Brandt, was staying one of the most difficult men in the industry to meet without an appointment. Normally, the process took weeks. I didn’t have weeks. I barely had hours. Apart of Langston, Brandt was the main partner we needed for this to succeed.The lobby smelled of rich cologne and polished marble, with men in tailored suits and women with sharp heels who walked with purpose, the whole place humming with money and ego. Perfect. I was in
