Emelia’s Pov His grandmother’s eyes twinkled, and a genuine smile, warm and inviting, spread across her face, “A woman after my own heart.” She chuckled, a rich, melodic sound. “Well, come inside, both of you. Jade, go put your things away. I’ve just made some fresh lemonade.”Jade squealed with delight and bounded into the house. The grandmother turned her attention back to us, her smile lingering, “You two must be hungry on your way here. I have a fresh batch of cookies baking.”Just as I was about to accept, envisioning warm cookies and tart lemonade, Kaidon cleared his throat. He looked distinctly uncomfortable, his gaze shifting between his grandmother and me.“Actually, Nana.” He began, his voice a little strained, “We can’t stay. I just came to drop off Jade.”My head whipped around to stare at him. What? But he had said we were coming to his grandmother’s place. My mouth opened to protest, but he gave me a subtle, almost imperceptible shake of his head.His grandmother’s smi

Emelia’s Pov Smack! Her other cheek met the same fate. Her eyes were wide now, full of disbelief and humiliation.“You can insult me all you want,” I said, stepping closer, my tone calm but charged with fury, “But the moment you raised your hand to someone innocent, someone defenseless…”Smack!The third slap cracked across her face so hard her earring fell to the marble floor with a clink.“That’s where I draw the line.”Danika stumbled back a step, her eyes watery from the sting. Her makeup, flawless moments ago, was beginning to smudge. Her lips trembled. The lobby had gone completely still. Her assistant looked like she wanted to crawl into the floor. The receptionist clung to the edge of the desk, clearly still in shock.“Next time…” I said, adjusting my sleeves with cold composure, “Choose your victims better.”Danika finally found her voice, a shaky whisper, “Y… You’ll regret this. I’ll make sure you’re…”“I wouldn’t finish that sentence if I were you.” I interrupted, my tone

Emelia's Pov“Bully me? Do I look like someone who’d allow herself to get bullied by others?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest and turning my gaze pointedly away from the scene unfolding before me. A strange, unfamiliar heat simmered beneath my skin. It made no sense. Kaidon was a grown man, perfectly capable of handling himself. He could certainly allow anyone to touch him if they wanted to, and it was entirely plausible, even probable, that he had had countless relationships before me. That was perfectly normal. So why, then, did I feel this illogical, potent wave of irritation seeing her perfectly manicured fingers tracing patterns on his arm? And the man, that infuriatingly composed man, just let her! My lips automatically formed into a tight, rebellious pout as I shot another indignant glare his way.However, Kaidon, ever perceptive, merely arched a casual eyebrow, a faint, almost imperceptible smirk playing on his lips. He leaned down, his eyes, usually so serious, now t

Emelia’s Pov I stared at him, “Your sister?” I repeated, the words feeling foreign on my tongue. “What do you mean?” He seemed to snap out of his daze, a faint flush creeping up his neck, “I’m sorry.” He said, a sheepish smile touching his lips, “It’s just… uncanny. The resemblance is striking.” He paused, then extended a hand. “My apologies for the theatrics earlier. I’m Kevin Yule. And you must be Emelia, right? Kaidon has spoken about you.” I hesitantly shook his hand. His grip was firm, confident, “Yes, I’m Emelia. And no, you haven’t told me what you mean by ‘my sister’ and why you wanted to see me.” My eyebrows furrowed. This was all so bizarre. Kaidon had been unusually quiet this whole time, which was a red flag in itself. Kevin chuckled, a pleasant, deep sound, “Right to the point, I see. I like that.” He glanced at Kaidon, a silent communication passing between them, which only deepened my suspicion, “To answer your first question, Danika is my adopted sister. The one wh
