Ezekiel leaned against the edge of his desk, his piercing gaze fixed on the livestream projected on the wall. Daisy’s smile flickered on the screen as she laughed at something Veronica said, but he saw beyond it. That smile didn’t reach her eyes.“Something’s troubling you,” he murmured, his voice soft yet commanding. His fingers curled into a fist. He turned to one of his men, who stood silently nearby. “Why wasn’t anyone aware of the ambush earlier today?”The man stiffened. “It was an oversight, sir. We—”“An oversight?” Ezekiel’s voice was razor-sharp. He stepped forward, his imposing presence suffocating. “There’s no room for oversight when it comes to her safety.”The man dropped his gaze. “It won’t happen again.”“It better not,” Ezekiel replied, his tone icy. “Find out who orchestrated it. Report back with names.”As his subordinate scurried out of the room, Ezekiel’s eyes returned to the livestream. He watched Daisy’s every move, enthralled yet furious at how close she’d come

The sun hovered low on the horizon as Daisy, Veronica, and Clara prepared for their next challenge. The production team had hinted at a grueling task—a high-altitude hike through rocky terrain. Daisy adjusted the straps of her backpack, her mind already racing with strategies to keep her team safe. She caught Veronica’s concerned glance and forced a reassuring smile.“Relax, Veronica. We’ll get through this,” Daisy said softly, though unease churned in her gut.Clara giggled nervously. “Yeah, as long as I don’t trip over my own feet.”The trio set off with the other cast members. Cameras followed their every move, capturing the dramatic landscape and their interactions. Daisy kept an eye on her team, but the rough terrain triggered flashes of her past life—a life where she had clawed her way up from rock bottom, only to lose everything in a fiery betrayal.She stumbled slightly, gripping a tree trunk for support as her breath quickened.“Daisy?” Veronica’s voice pulled her back to rea

The house was unnervingly quiet.It had been days since the fire, but the weight of silence still hung thick in the air, suffocating the life that once filled the mansion. Louis sat by the grand window, his gaze fixated on the horizon, though he saw nothing. His mind was consumed by the burning memories of Daisy—the way she would laugh at his sarcasm, the warmth of her body pressed against his, the softness of her lips when they shared stolen kisses. Every detail of her, etched into his mind like a scar that wouldn’t fade.The room, once a space filled with life and conversation, felt like a tomb. Louis hadn’t spoken since Liam had brought him back from the fire site, his silence deepening as the days dragged on. His heart throbbed with the ache of what he had lost, and the pain was unbearable, like a wound that refused to heal.Liam had tried, more times than he cared to count, to break through his brother’s wall of grief. But Louis wasn’t himself—not anymore.“Dammit, Louis!” Liam’s

The Croft mansion, usually alive with elegance and quiet sophistication, had become a house of sorrow. The once-bright chandeliers now seemed dimmer, the halls heavier with a silence that suffocated anyone who dared to walk through them.Dandelion Croft stood by the large living room window, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She had always been the composed one, the eldest who held the family together in times of distress. But now, her expression betrayed her fragility, her jaw trembling as she gazed out at the gray sky.Behind her, their mother sat in a high-backed chair, her face buried in her hands. The strong, poised matriarch of the Croft family was reduced to quiet sobs, her grief pouring out in broken waves. Beside her, their father gripped the armrest of his chair, his knuckles white, his face stoic but hollow. He had always been a man of few words, but now, the words refused to come altogether.In the center of it all was Liam. He stood stiffly near the fireplace, his

The murmurs started subtly—a few whispers at first, some idle speculation in tabloids—but they quickly grew into a wildfire of rumors that engulfed the media. Natalie and Louis appeared together at two high-profile business events within the same week, sparking speculation about the nature of their relationship. She stood by his side, elegant and poised, her signature smile directed at the cameras. Louis, on the other hand, was stoic, detached, but undeniably present.For the press, it was a story too tantalizing to ignore: Louis Black, the reclusive billionaire, finally stepping into the public eye with a stunning actress at his side.For those who knew him, it was a betrayal.The Croft estate was quiet when Liam stormed through its grand doors, his expression a thunderstorm of anger and disbelief. He hadn’t bothered to announce his arrival—he didn’t need to. He knew exactly where Louis would be.Finding him in his study, Liam didn’t waste time on pleasantries. “What the hell are you
