~ Thea's POV

Ethan blinked.

A slow, victorious grin spread across Ethan’s face. 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. "Completely free."

"Good," I said, my voice steady despite the adrenaline coursing through my veins. "Then we'll go out. A real date. Not... whatever this is." I gestured vaguely to the campus.

"A real date," Eth

  • What Daddy Left Behind   What Daddy Left Behind.

    ~ Thea’s POVMonths had passed since Stellan and I got married. The gruelling, triumphant completion of my university degree had all seamlessly folded into the beautiful reality of our new life.I stood at the edge of the polished marble walkway, my black stiletto heels sinking slightly into the soft grass.I was wearing a sharp, tailored black wool coat, belted securely at my waist. But the black I wore today was not the heavy, suffocating shroud of despair that had entirely swallowed me a year ago. It was a statement of elegance, of respect, and of absolute, unyielding survival.Because I was no longer the terrified, orphaned girl who had stood in this exact spot, surrounded by corporate vultures waiting to pick my father’s legacy apart.I was the Queen of the Vaughn Empire. I was the proxy CEO, a graduate of advanced system architecture, and the fiercely protective matriarch of the most powerful family in New York.And I was a mother.I looked down, a profound warmth instantly flo

  • What Daddy Left Behind   Let's try for another baby

    ~ Stellan’s POVThe Mediterranean sun was baking the pristine white marble of the cliffside terrace. The only sound in the entire universe was the rhythmic, hypnotic crashing of the Aegean Sea against the jagged rocks hundreds of feet below, completely untainted by the toxic hum of Manhattan or the suffocating buzz of the global syndicates.I stood in the massive, open-concept kitchen of the villa, perfectly content in a pair of low-slung linen trousers, entirely ignoring the encrypted corporate smartphone sitting completely powered down on the granite island.I picked up a silver tray. On it sat a crystal bowl of perfectly chilled, hand-peeled Santorini grapes, fresh figs drizzled in local mountain honey, and a glass of ice water infused with wild mint. I had a private, Michelin-starred chef quartered in the staff house down the hill, but I had explicitly forbidden him from setting foot on the main terrace this afternoon.I wanted to serve my Queen myself.I carried the tray out thr

  • What Daddy Left Behind   Going for honeymoon

    ~ Thea’s POVThe deafening, euphoric roar of three thousand elite guests clapping and clinking crystal champagne flutes echoed behind us as we finally slipped out of the grand ballroom’s towering double doors.The reception had been a magnificent, exhausting blur of blinding camera flashes, endless toasts from syndicate heads, and the sheer, intoxicating adrenaline of claiming my Warlord in front of the entire universe. I had danced with my husband under a ceiling of cascading white orchids, the heavy silk of my cathedral train replaced by a sleek, custom reception gown that hugged every curve.But as the clock struck midnight, the corporate Queen was officially off duty. It was time to leave.We stood in the private, marble-floored lobby of the venue, the heavy security perimeter securely keeping the lingering press at bay. Graham was waiting by the exit, holding the door to the subterranean garage open, the armoured Maybach idling quietly in the shadows.Before we could step out int

  • What Daddy Left Behind   The Wedding Day

    A/N: This has been written in third-person POV, because this is not just a one point of view event.The grand cathedral stood in the heart of Manhattan like an ancient, immovable mountain of Gothic stone and stained glass. For over a century, it had hosted the weddings of royalty, political dynasties, and old-money titans. But today, the sacred architecture has been entirely, unapologetically conquered by the Dragon of Wall Street.The security perimeter stretched for three city blocks. Hundreds of NYPD officers and federal barricades held back a surging, frantic ocean of global media, paparazzi, and onlookers who were desperate to catch a glimpse of the wedding of the decade. Inside, the sanctuary had been transformed into an absolute masterpiece of breathtaking wealth and pure, unadulterated devotion.Tens of thousands of rare white orchids and cascading phalaenopsis draped over the ancient stone pillars, their sweet, heavy scent entirely perfuming the cool air. The pews were packe

  • What Daddy Left Behind   Reconciling with Maya

    ~ Thea’s POVThe sprawling VIP suite of Maison de L'Amour on Fifth Avenue was entirely silent, save for the soft, ambient hum of classical music playing from the hidden speakers.I sat on a plush, cream-colored velvet sofa in the centre of the room, gently swirling a crystal flute of sparkling apple cider. Stellan had completely bought out the entire three-story atelier for the afternoon. There were no other brides, no stressed mothers, and absolutely no paparazzi. The front doors were locked, the massive display windows had been heavily curtained off, and Graham was standing guard in the lobby with a full Ghost detail.I took a slow sip of my cider, my free hand resting gently over my flat stomach. Six weeks. The secret was a warm, brilliant sun burning brightly in my core, insulating me from the remaining chaos of the world.The soft click of the suite’s heavy mahogany doors opening pulled me from my thoughts.I looked up as Graham briefly stepped into the threshold. "Mrs Vaughn. Yo

  • What Daddy Left Behind   I am going to make you my wife

    ~ Stellan’s POVWhen Graham had informed me that my six-weeks-pregnant wife had taken a Maybach to a maximum-security federal penitentiary, my first instinct had been to lock down the city completely.The feral, violently protective beast inside my chest had roared to life, entirely prepared to tear the doors off the prison with my bare hands. I had spent the last forty-eight hours wrapped in the blinding, euphoric high of her pregnancy, aggressively shielding her from every conceivable stress. The idea of her breathing the same sterile, oppressive air as the criminal who had tried to steal her life was unacceptable.But I hadn't stopped her.Because I knew exactly who I had married. Thea Mercer Vaughn was not a fragile porcelain doll who needed to be locked in a gilded tower. She was a brilliant apex predator. She was the Queen of my empire, and Queens did not leave their battlefields with survivors. She needed to personally execute the final ghost of her past.I didn't stop her, but

  • What Daddy Left Behind   A Naughty Girl

    ~ Thea's POVThe first thing I wake up to is my phone buzzing.I groaned, burying my face deeper into the pillow. My eyes fluttered open, blinking against the dim light filtering through the heavy blackout curtains. I was in a massive bed with black silk sheets, and there was a heavy arm draped ov

    ~ Stellan’s POV"Yes," I said, my voice smooth, detached. "You can."The woman, Elena? Elara?, smiled, a curve of crimson lips that was meant to be enticing. But didn’t even move me one bit.She poured the wine, her movements deliberate, leaning forward so the neckline of her dress gaped, offering

    ~ Thea's POVI didn't wait for Dean Oxi to dismiss me. Once the call with Stellan ended, once the money was promised and the air in the room had turned thick with my aunt’s relieved, pathetic sobbing, I turned on my heel and walked out."Thea! Thea, wait!"Aunt Carol scrambled after me, her heels
