~ Thea’s POV

I couldn't imagine what crime I had committed other than driving a car that cost more than the tuition fees of everyone in the hallway combined.

It couldn’t be because of that, was it?

The student aide opened the heavy oak door for me, offering a sympathetic wince before scurrying away.

I stepped inside, my back straight, my chin high, posture drilled into me by boarding school.

"Miss Mercer," Dean Oxi said, standing up from his desk. He was sweating again, dabbing his forehead wit

  • What Daddy Left Behind   Oh my Stellan~

    ~ Thea’s POV"W-what?!"The word tore from my throat as a shattered, ragged gasp. It wasn't a question demanding clarification; it was the violent, physical rejection of a reality too horrific to comprehend. I gripped the edge of the oxblood leather booth, my knuckles turning stark white as the soundproofed walls of the Obsidian Club’s private office seemed to aggressively close in on me.Julian didn't look away. He didn't offer me a comforting lie or a softened version of the nightmare. He stood against the heavy mahogany desk, his own eyes swimming with the dark, heavy burden of a secret he had carried for over a decade."Stacy didn't just want a young lover, Thea," Julian continued, his voice a low, gravelly rasp that scraped against the dead silence of the room. "She wanted absolute, totalitarian ownership of a human being. She wanted to play god, and Evelyn Vaughn handed her the universe on a silver platter."I couldn't breathe. The oxygen felt thick, tainted with the phantom smo

  • What Daddy Left Behind   She is with Julian

    ~ Stellan’s POVBzzzz. Bzzzz.My smartphone vibrated aggressively against the polished expanse of the mahogany desk, the harsh, rhythmic sound completely severing the dead silence of the executive corner office.I sat in the heavy leather chair, entirely paralysed, staring at the glowing screen.Stacy.It was the fifteenth time she had called in the last two hours. She wasn't calling to negotiate. I had already signed the irrevocable trust. I had already transferred two billion dollars of liquid capital into an account bearing the name of a child I couldn't even look at without feeling violently, physically ill. I had surrendered a king’s ransom to appease her, but Stacy didn't want my money. She wanted to twist the knife. She wanted to hear my voice break, to confirm that the invisible leash she had fastened around my neck twenty years ago was still securely in her manicured hand.Bzzzz. Bzzzz.I didn't reach for the phone. My large hands rested flat on the desk, the knuckles stark

  • What Daddy Left Behind   The Devastating Truth

    ~ Thea’s POVI looked down at the heavy crystal glass in my hand. The amber liquid sloshed slightly against the rim, betraying the violent trembling in my fingers.I didn't hesitate. I raised the glass to my lips and swallowed the scotch. The liquid was liquid fire, burning a harsh, unforgiving trail down my throat and settling like hot coals in my stomach. I welcomed the burn. It grounded me. It forced the exhaustion out of my bones and replaced it with an absolute, unyielding resolve.I lowered the glass, my dark eyes locking onto his."Tell me," I commanded, my voice dropping into a hollow, terrifyingly calm whisper. "Tell me exactly what broke my husband."Julian let out a ragged, defeated exhale. He turned away from me, walking over to the heavy mahogany desk. He didn't sit in the leather executive chair; he leaned against the edge of the desk, crossing his ankles, his gaze dropping to the floor as if he couldn't bear to look at me while he dragged the Dragon of Wall Street throu

  • What Daddy Left Behind   Looking for the truth

    ~ Thea’s POVAs I walked out of the executive suite, the sting of his fierce loyalty burned in my chest, yet I couldn't entirely fault him. Graham was an employee, a soldier sworn to protect the Dragon’s secrets even if those secrets were actively tearing the empire apart.But there was someone else.Someone who considered himself Stellan’s equal, his brother in arms, and the only man arrogant enough to tell my husband when he was making a mistake.I stepped back into the freezing Manhattan wind and climbed into the idling Maybach."The Obsidian Club," I told the driver, not missing a beat.The exclusive, ultra-private gentlemen’s club in Soho was Julian Hayes’s sanctuary. If he wasn't gutting hedge funds from his corner office, he was holding court in the amber-lit depths of the Obsidian.Twenty minutes later, I pushed through the heavy, unmarked brass doors of the club. The atmosphere inside was a stark contrast to the sterile panic of Vaughn Enterprises. It was a world of hushed we

  • What Daddy Left Behind   It Would Kill Him

    ~ Thea's POVThe black Maybach sliced through the congested Manhattan traffic like a shark navigating bloody waters.As we approached the towering, sleek glass monolith of the Vaughn Enterprises headquarters, the sheer scale of the media apocalypse became terrifyingly clear. The plaza was entirely completely barricaded by NYPD officers and Stellan’s private security firm, desperately trying to hold back a ravenous, surging ocean of journalists, satellite trucks, and paparazzi. The moment my vehicle was spotted, a ripple of chaotic shouting erupted through the crowd."Mrs. Vaughn," the driver said, his voice tense as he eyed the rearview mirror. "I am routing us to the secure underground executive garage. It’s too volatile up front.""No," I commanded, my voice cutting through the quiet cabin with absolute, freezing authority. "Pull up directly to the main plaza steps."The driver hesitated, glancing back at my reflection. He saw the crimson blazer, the dark, uncompromising fire in my

  • What Daddy Left Behind   Being Manipulated

    ~ Stellan's POVThe private elevator ascending to the Tribeca penthouse moved but every passing floor felt like the tightening of a hangman’s noose around my neck.I had purchased the sprawling, eighty-million-dollar property five years ago as a pure real estate investment. I had never spent a single night within its glass walls. Yet, the moment the heavy steel doors slid open, the air rushing into the elevator cabin was thoroughly, irreparably tainted.The cloying, suffocating scent of heavy tuberose and bergamot hit the back of my throat.It was a fragrance that didn't just register in my olfactory senses; it bypassed my logic entirely and slammed directly into the deepest, most scarred recesses of my amygdala. It was the exact perfume she had worn twenty years ago. The scent of locked bedroom doors. The scent of my mother walking away down the carpeted hallway, ignoring my frantic, pleading voice. The scent of absolute, paralyzing powerlessness.I stepped out of the elevator, my bo

  • What Daddy Left Behind   Can I come in?

    ~ Stellan’s POV"What was true?" I asked, my voice low, challenging him to say it.Graham set his tablet down on the mahogany table with a soft click."The distraction," Graham said calmly. "The irrational irritation with the Operations team. The way you’ve been checking your phone every three minu

It wasn't the shark-like grin of Stellan’s world; it was something lighter, something thrilled by the chaos."I'm free," Ethan said, his voice dropping to a low murmur that sent a shiver of, down my spine.

    ~ Stellan's POVThe hallway leading to the penthouse was silent, I adjusted my cuffs, spent the last six hours in a war room, dismantling a PR. The statement I had authorized was perfect. It was cold, legal, and absolute. It had severed the "engagement" narrative at the neck, recasting Thea from a

She wasn't coming. I had pushed her too far with the press release, with the cold logic of business applied
