Clara’s Pov"Are you seriously wearing that, Clara?"Nora’s voice cuts through my concentration as I fix the clasp of my necklace in the mirror. I turn to face her, her brows raised in that mix of amusement and judgment only a younger sister can pull off.“Yes,” I sigh, smoothing down the emerald silk dress I borrowed from a friend. “It’s elegant, simple, not too much.”“Not too much?” Nora snorts, perching on the bed like a cat. “This is a billionaire’s gala, not a museum tour, and you’re acting like you’re invisible.”That’s the point. I want to be invisible. Tonight isn’t about me. It’s about securing new donors for the gallery. If I can bring even one sponsor back, my director will stop treating me like I’m only here because of Ethan.Ethan Ward. I'm just thinking his name is enough to ruin the taste of the champagne I haven’t even had yet.I swallow down the knot in my throat and pick up my clutch. “I’ll be fine.”Nora watches me with her soft, too-knowing eyes. “You’re still try

Adrian’s Pov"You shouldn’t let him get to you."Sophia’s voice cut through the silence of my office, soft but sharp enough to drag me out of my thoughts. She leaned casually against the glass wall, arms crossed, her dark hair falling over her shoulders like she had all the time in the world.I barely looked up from the decanter of whiskey I was pouring. “I’m not letting him get to me.”She laughed under her breath, that knowing little laugh she’d perfected since childhood. “Adrian, you’ve been brooding since the gala. That’s three days. For you, that’s practically sulking.”I set the glass down harder than I meant to. “I don’t sulk.”Her brow arched. “Then what do you call scowling at your phone every time another headline pops up with her face in it?”Her. Clara Hayes.Even the name had started to carve its way into my mind, uninvited.I leaned back in my chair, pressing two fingers against my temple. “It’s not about her. It’s about Ethan. He’s still pulling the strings, still showi

Adrian’s POV“Then tell me to stop.”The words left my mouth with more force than I intended. They weren’t a request, they were a dare, and we both knew it.Clara stood frozen, framed by the glow of the city behind her. Her eyes widened, flickering with uncertainty, fear, yes, but also something else. Something that caught in my chest like a blade.She didn’t move neither did she speak, and that silence told me more than anything.If she truly wanted me to stop, she would have walked out of my office and slammed the door hard enough to rattle the glass. She would’ve thrown that lily back in my face. But she hadn’t. She was still here, trembling in her heels, fighting a battle I could see written in the lines of her posture.I stepped closer. Slowly. Carefully. Like approaching something fragile.“Clara,” I said, her name rough on my tongue. “You don’t understand. I don’t play games. Not with you.”Her breath hitched. “Then what is this? Because I don’t know if I can survive another ma

Adrian's Pov The headline on Sophia’s phone felt like a punch to the ribs. For a second, all I could do was stare at it, the words blurring and sharpening again as if my eyes couldn’t believe what they were seeing.ETHAN ANNOUNCES LAWSUIT AGAINST KNIGHT GLOBAL.UNFAIR COLLUSION. PERSONAL SABOTAGE.A lawsuit.He actually filed a lawsuit.Of course he did.Ethan Ward never fought with fists or loud words. He fought by dragging people into the mud and pretending he was spotless. He used lawyers the way other people used knives.But dragging Clara into this, using her as a spark, was something even I didn’t expect.Sophia’s voice broke the silence. “This… this is going to be bad, isn’t it?”Clara didn’t speak. She stood there frozen, staring at the screen like it was a live grenade about to explode. The color had drained from her face so fast I felt something twist painfully in my chest.My first instinct wasn’t strategy or damage control.It was to pull her into my arms and protect her

Adrian's Pov When Sophia finished speaking, the room fell into a silence so thick it felt like a living thing crawling across my skin.Clara didn’t speak. She didn’t cry. She didn’t even breathe for a moment.She just stared at Sophia as if the world had tilted off its axis.And maybe it had.Because now, it wasn’t just a video. Not just a leak. Not just a twisted headline.It was a police report.A weapon.A lie dressed in legal ink.And Ethan Ward was the one swinging it.Clara stepped back until her shoulders hit the wall. Her eyes lost focus, drifting somewhere far away from me, far from this room, far from anything I could reach.“Clara,” I said softly.She didn’t blink.Her lips parted, but no sound came out.I moved toward her, slow steps, hands open like approaching something wounded and scared.“Clara,” I repeated, more firmly.Her eyes finally dragged up to mine.“They’re going to believe him,” she whispered.“No,” I said immediately.“Yes.” She laughed once, a small broken
