Author's POV ~Charlotte pushed open the front door of the Harper mansion and stepped inside without calling out. The lights in the foyer were still bright from earlier that morning. Her heels clicked on the polished floor as she walked through the hall. She had barely taken two steps in when she pulled her phone from her bag and called Jasmine.“I just got home,” she said, dropping her bag on the console table.“Good. Call me later,” Jasmine replied. “You sounded tired.”“I am. I’ll talk to you later.” Charlotte ended the call and exhaled.She walked into the living room, sank into the wide sofa and reached for the remote. Her body stretched across the cushions as she grabbed the popcorn bowl from the center table. She pressed play on the movie she had paused that morning. Her eyes stayed fixed on the screen while she shoved popcorn into her mouth. The sound filled the quiet room and she relaxed into it.Several minutes passed before she heard footsteps on the staircase. She didn’t b

Author's POV ~ “Come over,” Stefan said in a calm voice, his eyes fixed on the wall. His voice was clipped even though irritation lingered in his eyes. The moment the line went dead, he exhaled a slow stream of smoke and dropped the cigarette into the trash. The scent of tobacco mixed with the faint cologne that clung to the room. He reached for his glass, the amber liquid inside catching the dim light of the office as he took a long drink.His shoulders tensed. He walked to the mirror near the corner of the room and splashed water on his face. Droplets clung to his jaw as he stared at his reflection. For a moment, he wasn’t sure if he recognized the man looking back. There was something hollow just beneath the surface, something restless and coiled tight.He waited.Minutes passed before the door creaked open. Andre stepped inside with an unreadable expression. Stefan’s tense posture softened into a slow smile.“Close the door,” Stefan said.Andre obeyed. The room fell back into sil

Author's POV ~That morning after a long night, Scarlett woke up feeling exhausted. The weight of her responsibilities and the lack of sleep seemed to bear down on her like a physical force, making every movement a struggle. She'd attended shows the night before and the lack of sleep and late night revelry had taken its toll, leaving her feeling drained. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, trying to shake off the haze that clouded her mind. Her alarm beeped, shattering the silence. She slammed it gently and yawned slightly. Her brows furrowed and she exhaled deeply when she realised she had another event to attend. She dragged herself out of the bed lazily, planting an unsteady foot on the ground. She prepared herself mentally for the day. She'd been invited as a special guest to a gala where she'd be performing live. After bathing for a few minutes, she stepped out of the steaming bathroom wrapped in a soft towel. The scent of lavender lotion lingered in the air, her wet glossy hai

Author's POV ~Scarlett settled into the velvet seat reserved for her, the golden tag clipped neatly to the back reading *Special Guest*. The hall shimmered beneath chandeliers shaped like carved diamonds, throwing warm light across glittering gowns and tailored suits. Celebrities filled every row, laughing softly, exchanging air-kisses, waving at distant friends. Scarlett forced a smile as she greeted those around her, smoothing her palms over the silk of her dress whenever her nerves pricked too sharply against her skin.She tried not to look across the room, but her eyes betrayed her. They shifted, just slightly, just long enough to meet Ethan’s gaze from where he sat among a circle of politicians, business moguls, and high-profile actors. He looked as startled as she felt. Then composed. Then unreadable.Scarlett tore her eyes away quickly, pretending to laugh at something the actress beside her whispered. Her fingers drummed lightly on her thigh, tapping out the irritation that c

Author's POV~Charlotte moved quietly down the hallway, her eyes fixed on Ethan’s unsteady figure as he reached his hotel door. The corridor lights washed over him in a dim glow that showed the slump in his shoulders, the tired way he wiped his face with the back of his hand before pushing the door open. She watched him disappear inside and waited. She stayed close enough to hear the soft thud of his body dropping onto the bed.She held her breath and simply stood there for a moment, listening to the muffled rustle of his movements. Her lips curved in satisfaction. He was drunk, vulnerable and alone. Just everything she needed.Inside the room, Ethan sat on the edge of the bed with his elbows on his knees. He pressed his palms against his temples as memories from the gala struck him like a blow. Stefan grabbing Scarlett and kissing her in front of everyone, the cameras flashing, the crowd gasping. Scarlett not pushing him away, and Everyone waiting for him to be humiliated.He clench
