Maya's POV “We’re here, Ma’am.” Gideon finally said.I stepped out and froze.The roses I planted were gone and replaced chrysanthemum.I was allergic to them. Elena knew that. She always knew. She made Dad decorate the house with them on my birthday once. I nearly died.Now here they were again. Her signature move.My bags were already on the porch.“What’s going on?” I asked the maids.None answered. They looked at their feet as though they were banned from speaking to me.“What does it look like?” she sneered.Elena. Drenched in designers. Meanwhile, I looked like an office intern fired before lunch.I swallowed the humiliation and walked inside.Everything was gone. M. My art, my walls, my touch. He’d erased me in hours. My lungs tightened. My throat itches. My allergy was kicking in.“Aiden said he didn’t want any trace of you left,” she cooed. “And I’m here to deliver.”I staggered out, gasping for air.“Oh no!” she gasped in mock concern. “Still allergic?

And honestly? It’s Mr. Kensington’s fault for not seeing your value. You’re the soul of this company. Irreplaceable.” tears streamed from my eyes as I remembered those exact words that were spoken to me by the int

Elena was curled in her mother’s arms on the settee, sobbing like she’d lost everything.“She seduced himband forced him to sleep with her!” she shrieked, rage contorting her features. “She knew I loved him. We were supposed to get married this weekend!”A throw pillow sailed through the air and bounced off my shoulder. A weak shot compared to the blow her words delivered.Wait… wait a damn minute. I know this scene. I’ve lived this scene.“How dare you do that to your sister?” her mot
