The late afternoon sun dipped into the office like liquid gold, casting long, slanted shadows across the polished floors.

Cyrus stood by the window, one hand in his pocket, the other absently fiddling with the edge of his cuff. He was just about to leave when Scott, his ever-efficient front desk manager, buzzed through the intercom.

"Sir... your mother is here."

Cyrus froze for a heartbeat.

He could almost feel the atmosphere tighten, like a taut wire ready to snap. Of course she would come. The diamond fiasco was on everyone's lips, splattered across headlines and whispered through the hallways of power. He hadn't even bothered instructing the journalists to retract it. Let them talk. Let them choke on half-truths and rumors. And when the truth is out, he'd be sure it's trends all over the city and out.

But, he hadn't expected her to appear.

He pressed the button on the intercom, voice flat. "Send her up."

Moments later, the soft click of heels echoed down the corridor. The door ope

    The weigh of Maureen's death and her misdeed had become subtle and a memory that could only be remembered.Cyrus had confirmed he suffered no severe symptoms from the poisoning, thanks to the minute doses Maureen had administered.When Camilla had taken the content of the poisoned tonic to the hospital to examine it, they found little particles of Opiate. A drug that disrupts mental health.The toxicologist noted that the substance resembled microdoses of a synthetic opiate used in psychiatric sedatives. Prolonged exposure could have triggered hallucinations, mental breakdown, or even memory loss.It was clear that whoever had put Maureen up to that, didn't want him dead, but to really go entirely Insane. But for what reason? And who could that be?Cyrus was very grateful to Camilla. One evening, when he came back from the office and found Camilla in the sitting room, he threw off his jacket and embraced her. Camilla was startled by his action, and asked him what the issue was, he smi

    Jasmine Forbes thought she had escaped the clutches of handcuffs. When she saw Diaz being taken away by the cops, unknown to her, they were also coming for her. After all, she was a partner in the crime. Defamation against Sterling holdings, was something to be taken seriously.******The morning sun filtered through the gauzy curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. Camilla sat on the edge of the bed, watching Cyrus as he slept. His face, usually so composed, was now relaxed, almost boyish in slumber. She reached out, brushing a stray lock of hair from his forehead, her fingers lingering for a moment.She had noticed the change in his health over the past weeks. The tonic he took nightly was supposed to help with his recurring migraines and fatigue. Yet, instead of improving, his condition seemed to worsen. He was more irritable, his sleep restless, and his energy levels plummeted.Camilla's suspicions had been piqued a week ago when she had prepared the tonic herself. The liquid

    Cyrus sat frozen, the silence in the room turning deafening. Camilla’s confession rang like a siren in his ears, every word carving a wound in his chest. The image of her fighting for her life—alone, bruised, terrified—tightened his chest. His gaze remained fixed on her, searching her face for any sign of the pain she had just relieved.Camilla's eyes, though steady, held a depth of sorrow that words could scarcely capture. Her posture was now upright, almost defiant, but her hands trembled slightly in her lap."You went through all that... and still stood tall," Cyrus finally whispered, his voice thick with emotion. He reached out, gently taking her hand in his, his thumb brushing over her knuckles. "You're incredible, Camilla."She offered a faint smile, the corners of her lips barely lifting. "I did what I had to do," she murmured.Cyrus leaned in, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead. "I'm so sorry," he said, his voice cracking. "I can't imagine the strength it took to endure th

    **FLASH BACK CONT’D**When Camilla arrived outside the suite Louis had booked, his men were all positioned at the door. She gave them a curt nod and they opened the door for her to get in. Her body was tense as she stepped into the luxurious and elegantly furnished room. She was tense, not because she was afraid of Louis, but because she had a feeling something bad was going to happen.Louis sat across the bed, on a plush cushion chair, a glass of champagne In his left hand, a stick of cigarette on the right. His expression sparked with excitement the moment Camilla stepped in. “Beauty, you're here.” He smiled and placed his glass on the desk beside him.Camilla barely acknowledged him, as she placed the tray gently on the table — the silver knife’s reflection catching the light.”“Here's your order, sir. Enjoy your meal.” She said with feigned politeness. Just as she turned, about to leave, Louis grabbed her arm, twirling her to face him.“Not so fast, sweetheart.” Camilla shook o

    Cyrus and Camilla lay tangled in each other's arms. Their breath had slowed, but the room lingered with the evidence of their intense passion. Cyrus finally slipped out of her, leaving a sudden ache where their connection had been.Rolling onto his side, he pulled her tightly against his chest. “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice almost hoarse.Camilla made a committal hum, nodding against his chest.Cyrus didn't fail to remember their ritual, stroking back the strands of her slick her against her face, he murmured, “I love your smell,” Camilla paused and raised her head to look at him, “Why?” “It soothes me.” He said softly.“Ohh.” She nodded and laid back on his chest. She'd noticed that he loved snuggling closer to her, and his nose was always close to her neck. Most times, he switches their pillow, but she didn't dare to acknowledge it, but confirming it now? her lips quirked up into a small smile.“Angel?”Camilla hummed in response, still getting used to the effect the na

    The penthouse was dark when Cyrus returned.He dropped his keys onto the console with a metallic clatter, his body weighed down by exhaustion and something far heavier — guilt, longing, need.The city lights filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting silver streaks across the room.And then he saw her.Camilla was standing by the window, wrapped in one of his shirts, the hem brushing the tops of her bare thighs. Her hair was loose, tumbling over her shoulders like ink, her silhouette a quiet, devastating invitation.She was beautiful and looked like fine sex. So fuckable.Something in his chest cracked wide open.He was moving before he realized it — crossing the room in a few harsh strides, reaching for her like a man reaching for salvation and sin all at once.Before Camilla could say a word, he crashed his lips against hers. Their mouths collided, desperate and bruising. His hands gripped her hips hard enough to leave fingerprints, dragging her against him as he devoure
