Rylan’s POV:The Grey mansion was a bit nice looking but it was an ant compared to the Blackwood mansion. When I was younger, the Grey family was once on par with our family. They were well known for their designs and making lights, which gave them a good reputation. But all of a sudden, the founder died and his first son died. Laden- his second son took everything, but they still couldn't bring back the lost light. The mansion is like a fortress against the night sky, its windows glowing faintly behind heavy curtains. I stepped out of the car with Asher at my side, the cold air biting through my coat. My jaw clenched as I stared at the front door.Asher glanced at me. “You’re sure you’re ready for this, Boss? I don't think it's a good idea…you..”I gave him a single look, and went ahead. My throat was tight with fury, but my mind was steady. The door opened before we knocked twice. Fiona Grey stood there in a silk robe, her hair perfectly pinned despite the hour. But when her eyes

Aurora’s POVMy eyelids were heavy like bricks were on them, slowly they finally fluttered open. The sharp smell of iron and blood filled my nose . For a second, I thought I was still in that room, still clutching the knife, still fighting for air. I thought I was still with poor Lizzy and Livia.But then my blurry vision cleared.Rylan sat on a chair beside the bed, his posture like a statue, eyes fixed on me. His expression was unreadable but his knuckles were white where his fists rested on his knees. Asher stood near the door, arms crossed, scanning the room like a guard dog he was.My heart beats faster, “Rylan…?” My voice cracked.He didn’t make a sign, only gave the smallest nod, his gaze softening for a moment. Then his eyes flicked toward the far corner.I turned my head.Doctor Arnold, the man who had wanted to amputate my leg by Fiona's order, was on the floor, half-slumped against the wall. His face was swollen blue and black, one eye nearly shut. Blood dripped from his n

Anne’s POVI half-dragged, Dr. Arnold up to the mountain where Red was waiting for us. My arms trembled under his weight, his head lolling against my shoulder. The night smelled of rain and his blood. His blood streaked my palms, sticky and warm. Every step felt louder than it should, that I kept turning back if anyone was following me. But it was my loud footsteps following no one but me.“Aunty Red!” I hissed as I reached the top.of the cliff. I was trying not to sound too loud. She sat on a rock, the smell of the smoke on her right hand hit me first. I felt disgusted seeing her, if only Rylan knew his Aunt smokes. The woman he trusts the most was a snake biting his shoes. Aunty Red sat there with a cigarette in hand, her scarf crooked on her head, her sharp eyes scanning me from head to toe before landing on the man slumped in my arms.She signalled her men to grab him, “Yes Ma.” He said, and helped me. “Fuck!! I hope he is not dead.…” she muttered, standing up. “Anne, what took

AT THE BLACKWOOD COMPANY HEADQUARTERS — Raine’s POVThe building was nearly silent at this hour, MY mind was far away. I was thinking of how to stop Dylan from always trying to get Aurora. I don't want my son in that bloody story. Aurora has a lot going on in her life, she doesn't deserve my son. I stayed by the window until I saw Fiona and Laden coming into the building. “Not again,” I whispered.“What is it?” my secretary Hanni asked, as he heard my low voice.“It's that bitch Fiona,” I said in a low tone. “I really hate that woman, I just don't want her coming here. Am sure she is here about that incident at her house. Why did I ever accept to work with her?”“Let me send her away?” Hanni asked as he stood up.“If you do that, she will scream my name so everybody will gather around. She has a lot of secrets about the Blackhood family. We can't let her reveal it now until I get the company in hand.” I said, and he excused himself and left to call them in.After 5 minutes Fiona an

Onika’s POVI sat on the hard plastic chair outside Aurora’s room, my arms wrapped around myself. The image of her collapsing in the classroom wouldn’t stop replaying in my mind. Her eyes wide and distant, her body crumpling like a doll’s.The Doctors were still checking her, so I waited outside. I had never felt so helpless.I stood up and moved closer to the door, staring through the small glass window. Aurora lay pale and still under the white sheets, her chest rising slowly. I pressed my palm to the cool surface of the door, swallowing the lump in my throat.Footsteps echoed down the corridor, I wasn't looking there. Then I heard that most annoying voice that always made my skin crawl. “Onika?” I turned and froze, Dylan. His expression was unreadable as he approached- tall, broad-shouldered, his jaw tight. The same dark eyes as Rylan’s, but darker and sharper. He stopped just a few feet from me, his hands shoved into his pockets.“I’m here to see her,” he said, voice low but st
