The elevator door opened with a soft sound.Jace stepped out first, still holding Sarah’s hand. His grip was firm but gentle, like he wasn’t letting her go no matter what.Sarah’s heart beat fast. Not because she was scared, but because she knew something was about to happen. Something that made her feel hot and restless inside.Earlier that night, they had been at the gala together. Sarah had gone to the restroom, but when she came out, she froze.Across the room, Jace was talking to a beautiful young woman—the daughter of one of the company’s shareholders. From the way the woman leaned close to him, smiling, it was clear she liked him. And what hurt more was that Jace looked relaxed, as if he didn’t mind her attention.Jealousy boiled in Sarah’s chest. She turned away and stood in the far corner of the hall, trying to calm down.A few minutes later, Jace came looking for her.“Baby,why are you standing here?” he said softly, reaching out to touch her arm.She pushed his hand away wi

Luca parked his car outside the hospital, his fingers tapping impatiently on the steering wheel. He couldn’t believe he was here again, waiting for Rhea.Two nights ago, he had been at the Gala party when she called him. Without thinking, he left the party and drove across the city to pick her up from a club. Yesterday, she had asked him to come to this hospital, and he did. Today, she hadn’t even called him—yet here he was, waiting again, as if it had become his duty.He shook his head, frustrated.“When did you become a chauffeur, Luca?” he muttered aloud, cursing himself. “What the hell is wrong with you?”It was so unlike him. He wasn’t the type to run around after anyone. Not even his closest friends got this kind of treatment. And yet here he was, playing driver for Rhea Voss—the same woman who had once punched him, humiliated him, and made him swear he would make her kneel for mercy.Now? He was waiting to pick her up like a fool.“You really need to see a doctor, Luca. You’re

Leo sat heavily in his chair, still shaken from the conference. Diane had denied him—and it hurt. He understood why she did it, he really did, but that didn’t stop the sting.It felt like he had truly lost her to another man, to Vincent. Like their love would forever remain a sin, something to be hidden in the shadows. And he hated that more than anything.The sudden swing of his office door startled him. His sigh deepened when he saw Luca barge in, followed closely by Jace. He didn’t need to ask why they were there. Of course, they had heard. Everyone had.Luca stormed forward, his face tight with fury and disappointment. He had warned him how risky it was to be with that woman, but he didn’t listen. Now see the scandal it had landed him.“I told you, Leo. I warned you,” he spat, his voice sharp. "I told you this would blow up in your face. But you wouldn’t listen. And now? You’ve dragged yourself into a scandal big enough to choke the whole family.”Luca wasn’t even angry that Leo w

"Mr. Leo Van Driscoll, this way please," a worker said as soon as Leo walked into the hotel lobby.He nodded once, then followed her calmly to a private lounge. His heart pounded in his chest. He had received a message directly from Diane an hour ago asking that they meet up. He didn’t understand why she wanted to see him all of a sudden, especially after denying the rumour in front of the whole world. But whatever it was, it only made him nervous.The worker stopped at the door, gesturing for him to enter. He took a deep breath and stepped inside, his pulse racing."You came sooner than I expected," Diane’s voice echoed across the room.Leo turned his head and their eyes met. Diane was sitting in the corner, still wearing the same outfit from the conference. Her expression was unreadable, but he could see the sadness sitting heavy in her eyes."Of course I had to," Leo walked quickly toward her. "You suddenly wished to see me. It must be important."She had never once called or texte

The car pulled up at the mansion. Diane stepped out, her eyes widening. Leo had brought them to the mansion. She hadn’t expected they’d come here. Her gaze darted around the building. She remembered visiting this place many times when they were still dating. Each time she came, Robert Van Driscoll, Leo’s late father, never seemed to like it.“Come, sweetheart,” Leo’s voice came, soft and warm.His hand slipped into hers as he guided her inside. It had been five years, but the mansion still looked the same. Somehow, she could still smell the old man, still see his face in every corner of the house, like he was watching them—watching her.Still, her hand tightened around Leo’s as they walked up the stairs. She could not deny this was the safest place they could be.The house was quiet, too quiet and lonely. Almost as if it understood they needed privacy.“Where are the workers?” Diane finally asked after minutes of wondering.She hadn’t seen a single worker since they arrived, except fo
