*****************CHAPTER 124~Author’s POV~Eriel Black was sitting in his cozy study, gently swirling the last bit of his aged whiskey in a crystal glass. The late morning sun poured in through the tall windows, filling the room with a warm golden light, but his mind was anything but calm.Not today.He had barely finished reading through his messages when one of the housekeepers knocked softly and entered with a bow.“Sir… Miss Crystal is here. She’s waiting for you in the living room.”Eriel’s brows lifted slightly. That was fast.He stood up without a word, set his glass down on the desk, and walked down the long hallway. The housekeeper disappeared behind him as he stepped into the big living room.And there she was.Crystal sat elegantly on one of the couches like she had all the time in the world, her legs crossed, one hand casually resting on the armrest as though she hadn’t been at the centre of a brewing storm. Her smile was faint, polite… and empty.“Uncle,” she greeted s

*****************CHAPTER 126~Author’s POV~The evening sun shone through the tall windows of Kayne Kyle’s penthouse suite, filling the space with warm light. From the top floor, the sprawling city unfolded—buildings like steel giants against a cotton-candy sky. But Kayne’s gaze was inward, fixed on the amber liquid swirling in his glass as his feet rested on the cool surface of the glass coffee table.The intercom’s soft buzz broke the silence. “Sir, Mr. Draven is here.”A smile touched Kayne’s lips. He stood and straightened the cuffs of his shirt. “Send him up.”Two minutes later, the door yielded, and Draven Davion entered. Dressed in a black shirt and dark jeans, his attire suggested ease, yet his presence never did. He moved with confidence into his cousin’s house while his eyes raked the surroundings. “Nice place,” Draven commented, his gaze sweeping over the penthouse a second time as though taking in anything he missed on first glance. “As expected.”Kayne chuckled, extend

*************Kaia’s POVThe car ride home was mostly quiet.Blaze was at the wheel, one hand on the steering, the other occasionally tapping against his thigh. I didn’t press him for conversation. We were both exhausted. Meetings all day, back-to-back check-ins with the project team, Kayne Kyle hovering like a charming shadow I didn’t ask for.By the time we pulled into the estate, the sky was already turning dusky blue, the last traces of sunset melting into the city skyline behind us.As soon as we stepped through the front doors, we were greeted by the scent of something warm and cinnamon-sweet wafting through the air.Blaze raised a brow. “Smells like cake.”“It’s too quiet,” I muttered, glancing around the hallway. “Which means—”“She’s back,” he finished.Sure enough, when we turned the corner into the main sitting room, there she was.Grandma Black.Sitting upright and elegant in her floral-print blouse and pearls, legs crossed, a steaming cup of tea in her hand and a full spr

*****************CHAPTER 130~Kaia’s POV~Even without turning, I knew Blaze was watching. His presence was like a sudden weight in the air—thick, crackling, and impossible to ignore. My heart picked up, not out of guilt but out of anticipation and a thrill at the fact that Blaze Black was really jealous.I glanced over my shoulder.Sure enough, he stood across the room, half-turned from a group of sharply dressed men and women. His blue eyes were locked on us, unreadable, but hard.Too hard.Blaze didn’t move. Didn’t smile. But his stare spoke volumes.I looked back at Acer and gave him a wry smirk. “You’re playing with fire.”Acer raised his glass in a mock toast. “Good thing I like the heat.”But as I turned slightly toward Blaze and met his gaze head-on, something flickered in his eyes—an edge of warning, of possession. His jaw flexed once before he politely excused himself from the circle and began walking toward us, slowly, like a man with all the time in the world… and every

*****************CHAPTER 132~Author’s POV~Shawn stepped forward, bristling. “You can’t talk to her like—”“I can,” Blaze interrupted, “and I just did.”Blaze glared daggers at him, but Summer wasn’t done. “You know, Kaia, you should explain your past to him. All of it. He deserves to know how much of a whore and a gold digger you were. Before someone else does. Which is no surprise, seeing as you went after a rich man. ”Blaze’s body turned rigid beside me but as quickly, he regained his composure. “Enough,” he growled, his voice carrying a weight of finality that made the nearby guests hush. “Say one more word, and I will make sure it’s the last you get to utter in this city. Both of you. Think about what failures you have become before trying to tarnish someone else’s image.”The silence that followed was absolute. The air buzzed with tension and Summer blinked, caught off guard by the warning.Sensing the burn of humiliation rising like heat, Shawn nudged her back, took her arm,
