Chapter 21: Board Meeting (Haze's POV)

When Howard and I entered the meeting room, only a few board members were present—Dr. Michael Raymond, Omar Tyson, Sophia Carter, and Derek Vaughn.Since most of the major shareholders were in this room, we began without delay.As I made my way to the CEO’s chair, I noticed the subtle shifts in their expressions. Omar’s brows furrowed, Sophia’s lips parted in barely concealed surprise, and Derek, ever composed, merely adjusted his glasses. Only Michael and Howard remained unaffected. Until now, only a select few had known the truth about my existence.Once seated, I turned to Mr. Derek Vaughn, our legal advisor. “Mr. Vaughn, please start the meeting.”Derek nodded, flipping open a file. “The issue we are facing is the sudden acquisition of Tyto Corp shares by an unknown entity. Based on the transactions traced so far, we believe that the purchases are being made through offshore accounts and intermediaries. Howeve

Chapter 22: Plan (Haze's POV)

As Howard and I left the meeting room, the discussion still echoed in my mind. Maximillian Duval’s involvement in Tyto Corp was a complication, but complications could be turned into opportunities.“We need to find out exactly what he’s planning,” I murmured, walking toward the CEO’s office.Howard nodded, keeping pace beside me. “You have something in mind?”I nodded. “Maximillian Duval - he's recently returned from abroad, and if he's been acquiring shares of Tyto Corporation, that means he has a reason to do so."Howard hummed in thought. "And you plan to confirm his intentions how?""The upcoming fashion event" I tapped my fingers lightly against my wrist. ""It's the biggest of the year, sponsored by the Torrance family. The second biggest sponsor? The Duval family.”Howard raised an eyebrow. “And?”“It’s the perfect place to meet Maximillian in a settin

Chapter 23: So, Haze's job was modelling? (Richard's POV)

The moment Haze and Mr. Howard disappeared into the building; Cain let out a low whistle beside me.“Well, that was unexpected,” he muttered, but this time, there was something different in his voice. Amusement. Intrigue. A flicker of excitement.I glanced at him. “What?”He grinned slightly, rubbing his jaw. “I was already interested in her, but this? This just made her a thousand times more interesting.”I rolled my eyes. “Cain, you just confessed to liking her. You don’t have to act like she’s some unsolved mystery.”“That’s the thing, though.” He turned to me, eyes gleaming. “She is a mystery. And I like mysteries.”I exhaled, shaking my head. “Let’s just go to your office.”He led the way, walking with a slight spring in his step that hadn’t been there before. Unlike me, who was still trying to process the shock of se

Chapter 24: "Night Time Parade" (Haze's POV)

The morning after the board meeting, I hurriedly went to Ren’s atelier, the early sunlight casting long shadows across the quiet street. I knew this wouldn’t be easy, but I had made up my mind since I first saw Ren first time in his atelier. The” Night Time Parade” collection deserved to be seen by the world, and more than that—Ren deserved a second chance. This event, Ethereal Reverie, was the perfect opportunity not only to uncover Maximillian Duval’s true intentions but also to give Ren’s collection the recognition it had been denied.I stepped inside, met with the familiar scent of fabric and faint traces of cologne that still lingered in the air. The atelier was dim, and the usual vibrancy Ren exuded was absent. He barely glanced my way, his greeting a dull, “You’re early.”As I studied him, noticing the way he seemed lost in thought, his usual sharpness dulled. It had only been a few days since Ricky&rsq

Chapter 25: Night, we waited (Author's POV)

The air was thick with anticipation as Ethereal Reverie unfolded under the dazzling lights of the grand venue. It was the biggest fashion event of the year, a gathering of the most influential designers, models, critics, and journalists from around the world. The energy was electric, a mixture of excitement and curiosity buzzing through the elegantly dressed attendees.Among the distinguished guests, Richard found himself slightly out of place, yet undeniably captivated. He hadn’t planned on attending, but Katy had worked her magic, successfully convincing him. Now, standing among the elite of the fashion world, he marveled at how much had changed. His writing career had flourished—his novel was gaining traction, his articles receiving widespread recognition, and he and Katy had even started co-writing pieces for fashion blogs. Today, however, he wasn’t just a journalist; he was here as Katy’s partner, experiencing this world through her eyes.

Chapter 26: Unspoken games (Maximillian's POV)

I watched her from across the room, a study in movement and grace. The way she held herself—poised, cool, and effortlessly commanding attention—wasn't something I encountered often. At first glance, I thought she could have been just another model draped in one of Ren’s designs, but there was something different about her. Something that caught my eye and refused to let go.She wasn’t just beautiful. She was a statement.I asked one of the fashion critics, “Who is she? That model who was wearing the key design of Ren?” He was in the field quite long and follows Ren, “Oh that? That’s Haze, Ren’s muse”“Muse, that’s interesting” As I was about to approach to her when she was sitting at the bar, there was the man standing beside her—Cain.It’s really hard not to notice the subtle way Cain positioned himself close to her, his stance protective, almost possessive. It wasn

Chapter 27: Ready to go home? (Richard's POV)

I stood at the bar, my fingers absently swirling the contents of my drink. The buzz of the event, the laughter, the clinking of glasses, all seemed distant to me. I had been dragged here by Katy—again. While she thrived in this world, surrounded by designers, models, and critics, I felt like a fish out of water. I was a writer, a man who preferred the quiet hum of my thoughts, not the noise of high society.Kathy was beside me, with her eyes scanning the crowd as she sipped her champagne, clearly in her element. She was dressed to impress, as always, effortlessly catching the attention of anyone who happened to look her way.Kathy: “Richard, look over there.”She nodded subtly toward a figure across the room. I followed her gaze, and immediately, my attention was pulled to Haze. Standing tall in her celestial-blue gown, Haze drew every eye in the room. It wasn’t just the dress—it was the way she carried herself, confident y

Chapter 28: The Weight of Envy (Ren’s POV)

I hadn’t expected to be entertained tonight, but watching Maximillian Duval flounder in front of Haze had been the highlight of the evening.Haze, ever untouchable, had dismissed Maximillian with a single breath, leaving him standing in the middle of the gala, off-balance for what was probably the first time in his life. It was beautiful.I smirked, swirling the drink in my hand. “Careful, Duval. She bites.”I had allowed himself a moment to relish it, stepping up beside Maximillian just as Haze walked away.Maximillian turned to me, annoyance flickering beneath his usual charm. “Is that a warning?”I sipped my drink leisurely. “More of a fact.” My gaze followed Haze for a moment before flicking back to Maximillian, my smirk deepening. “I have to say, it’s not every day I get to witness a man so used to winning find himself completely... irrelevant.”Maximillian exhaled through his nose, tilting his head slightly. “You think this is over?”I chuckled. “Oh, darling. It never even start

Chapter 29: Echoes of the Past (Haze’s POV)

The sound of gravel crunching under small feet. Laughter echoing under a grey, open sky.Haze was seven, her knees scraped and her hands dirty, clinging to the last few seconds of play before they had to return. The playground near the old willow tree was her favorite escape—where bruises didn’t hurt, and the laughter felt real.“Ready to go home?”She turned toward the voice, breathless and smiling. Ricky stood by the gate, his hands in the pockets of his oversized sweater, a gentle patience in his eyes.Her heart lifted. She sprinted toward him with the wild energy of someone who trusted the world because he was in it.“Let’s go!” she beamed.Home wasn’t a place—it was him.The memory faded as city lights blinked past the car window. I blinked slowly, my head leaning gently against the cool glass. The gentle hum of the car and the quiet presence beside her made it too easy to slip into memories I usually kept locked away.I turned slightly. Richard sat beside me in the back seat, ha

Chapter 30: A Night of Unspoken Truths (Richard's POV)

The cold air hit my face the moment I stepped out of the cab. The night was quiet, save for the distant hum of the city, but my mind was anything but. Katy’s drunken voice still echoed in my head from the phone call earlier.I pushed open the bar door, scanning the dimly lit space until I found her. She was slouched over the table, her fingers gripping a half-empty glass. Her blonde hair was messier than usual, and her usually sharp blue eyes were unfocused.She looked up at me, her expression shifting from relief to frustration in a second."You actually came," she muttered, swirling the liquid in her glass.I sighed, stepping closer. "You called me."She laughed, though there was no humor in it. "Oh, right. The great Richard, always coming to the rescue."I ignored the bitterness in her tone and reached for her arm. "Come on, I’ll take you home."She yanked away. "Why are you always like this?""Like what?""Like... you’re here, but you’re not," she slurred, her glass clinking again
