Silence settled into the dressing room for the longest period.Bellatrix was frozen, caught off guard by the fact that she'd tripped over her own foot, and the fact that she was now face to face with Cillian.His face was so close to hers and although she has been this close to him several times since she returned, this was the only time she wasn't itching with the urge to snap his neck, and that gave her the opportunity to really see what was in front of her.Cillian was attractive, there was no doubt about that. But it wasn't a shallow kind of attraction. It was the kind that was rooted deep.His features were sharp, like he was chiseled out of stone. His brows were thin, but the curve was perfect. They drew a clear line, defining his forehead and drawing attention to his eyes, those eyes that she could have stared at forever in the past.But now, when she looked into it, she only saw a reflection of the betrayal she'd suffered.Snapping out of her daze she pushed herself off his bo

It was a simple question.A question that held the power of life and death.One that made the middle aged pig, whose hand was currently being squeezed harder than he'd ever felt, gulp and tremble in fear."M-mr. Laurent," he forced out, the words coming out in a mixture of stutter and occasionally winces. "This...this isn't what it looks like. This woman...she disrespected my companion so I simply...I simply wanted to teach her a lesson.""Teach her a lesson?" Cillian's eyes darkened and his hold on hisbhand tightened even more. The man cried out in pain, but despite the number of watchful eyes, not one person stepped forward to help.Not when death was radiating off Cillian like a second air. Some people even shifted back, wanting to be as far away from harm's way in the event things went south."You wanted to teach MY wife a lesson?" Cillian questioned, his words dripping with venom.The man's eyes widened the moment he heard this. "W-wife?" He stuttered, glancing between Cillian an

Bellatrix wasn't sure how long she'd slept off for. The next time she woke up, the car had pulled to a stop in the Laurent villa, she was alone and being tapped awake by Kane."Mrs. Laurent," he called gently, tapping her one final time before she peeled her eyes open and stared at him. "We've arrived."Bellatrix took a look around. Her eyes lingered a second longer on Cillian's empty spot."Mr. Laurent had an... urgent matter to attend to, so he went in first." Kane explained.She didn't say anything, but nodded, reaching up to rub the sleepiness from her eyes as she stepped out of the car and headed towards the mansion.It was only after she'd gotten inside that she realized Cillian's suit was still draped across her shoulder. The warmth hugged her like a second skin and his scent hovered around her too closely for her liking.Frowning, she peeled it off. At that moment, Daisy approached her, grinning from ear to ear as usual."Madam, welcome back."She gave a simple nod and passed

Cillian's gaze never wavered from Bellatrix's, even as his words hung heavy in the air between them, even as the silence stretched out to thin between them.Bellatrix's breath was lodged in her throat. Her heart picked up its pace, beating faster than it ever had. Her palm became clamming in a matter of seconds.But despite all the obvious signs of panic and fear, when she spoke, her voice came out as steady as possible."What?" She asked.Cillian's eyes drifted down to her stomach and even though it was now covered, his eyes lingered for a second far too long before he looked up.Meeting her gaze, he repeated, "the child, what–"Before he could finish, Bellatrix snorted. The sound came out a little louder than she'd expected and slapped Cillian harder than she ever would have imagined."Is this a joke? Are you really asking me that question, Cillian?" She asked, steadying her voice as best as she could and burying the sense of panic.She couldn't slip up. She couldn't let Cillian kno

Bellatrix felt the house early the next morning, despite the fact that she was a bit disoriented, thanks to the sleep deprivation.The reason, however, was easy. It was Cillian.Last night, she couldn't sleep well. Her thoughts kept drifting to him, which was why when she finally slept, it was a dreamless sleep, the kind that makes one wake up groggy.And despite how much she wanted to remain in bed, she knew she had to start the dark champagne pearl project as soon as possible. So, the next morning, Bellatrix stepped into the grand lobby of Ave Enterprises.The soft click of her heels echoed across the sleek marble floor as she walked in, the scent of polished wood and subtle citrus cleaner lingering in the air, and the modern decor gleamed under the soft white lights. The moment she walked through the entrance, the receptionist looked up from her desk and instantly recognition flashed in her eyes.“Ah, you're Ms. Astrix. Bellatrix Lancaster!"Bellatrix chuckled softly. Yeah, she has
