SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE They met above a tired bar in a room with a single bare bulb and a window that leaked rain.Gideon sat at the head of the table. He set his coat over the back of his chair, rolled up the cuff of his shirt an inch, and lit a cigarette with a quick, practiced flick. He inhaled once, long, held it, then let the smoke out slow, watching it dissolve into the ceiling like it had somewhere to go. Around him were the men he’d hired Marco, a man with a shaved head, broad shoulders, and a scar that bisected his left eyebrow cracked his knuckles and leaned forward. Tomas, small, clean-cut, had that pinpoint focus in his eyes. Diego, younger, restless, drummed his fingers on the table like a metronome. They spoke little at first, letting rain and cigarette smoke keep the silence warm. “All right,” Gideon said as he flicked ash into a dented tray. “Hale’s out o

Chapter Thirty One

Lena sat in a white robe, legs stretched over a basin of steaming water, while an attendant massaged her calves with almond oil. Across from her, Kleo’s bump rose slightly beneath the thick robe, her back on her chair, a towel draped over her eyes, and two attendants working on her hands and feet simultaneously. Lucinda sat between them, sipping from a tall glass of cucumber water, the robe slipping slightly off her shoulder in that careless, effortless way she always seemed to manage. The room was warm, filled with soft light and the scent of eucalyptus. Kleo lifted the towel slightly, peeking at the others. “It’s been a while since we all hung out like this,” she said,her voice already starting to soften with relaxation. Lena smiled faintly,head tilted to the side as the attendant pressed her arches. “It really has.” Lucinda chuckled lightly, looking at her reflection in the small mirror beside her. “You people really know how t

Chapter Thirty Two

When Evelyn told Lena that she had wanted to spend quality time with her, she didn't know how it could go. She for one knew that it could either turn out to be very good,that the marriage would continue or she could say the wrong things and it could send her packing, so she stepped cautiously from the plush beanbag in the playroom, her legs a little stiff from sitting too long. Her heels clicked softly on the smooth cobblestone path as she followed Evelyn out into the garden. Evelyn had gestured toward the winding paths with a delicate, knowing smile, and Lena had felt both excited and nervous.The night air was crisp, carrying the faint scent of blooming jasmine and the subtle dampness of freshly watered hedges. The Hale Estate garden stretched wide, illuminated by soft golden lanterns that cast warm pools of light across manicured lawns and winding stone paths. A light breeze rustled the leaves above, carrying the distant murmur of the estate — the faint clink of glass

Chapter Thirty Three

Lena lay flat on her back, eyes tightly shut, trying to regulate her breathing. Every fiber of her body screamed embarrassment, but opening her eyes meant facing it head-on and she was not ready for that yet. If she could just lie still, maybe he’d leave, maybe she could slink back to her own room before sunrise and pretend the evening hadn’t happened at all.But he didn’t leave.Damon stood there, the outline of his broad shoulders sharp against the muted light, arms crossed, jaw tight. He exhaled slowly, letting the air linger in the room as though testing her patience.“I know you’re not asleep, Ms. Rowan,” he said, his voice low, controlled, cutting through the silence like a knife. Lena didn’t move, muscles tensed, throat tight. She stayed still, willing herself to remain the perfect picture of slumber.“Miss Rowan,” he called again, sharper this time, his tone edged with irritation.A sigh escaped her lips, the sound soft but betraying h

Chapter Thirty four

The morning light slipped through the windows, dust motes dancing lazily in its path, as Lena blinked rapidly, trying to adjust her eyes to the brightness. Her head throbbed slightly from the restless sleep, and for a moment she forgot where she was. Then she realized with a jolt—she was in Damon’s bed, not the daybed she had meticulously prepared the night before. Her body stiffened as she sat up, rubbing her eyes, and that’s when she noticed an odd thing.Damon was sitting in the chair opposite the bed, still as a statue, just watching her. Not doing anything in particular, not fidgeting, just staring. It was deliberate, she realized with a sinking feeling, as if he’d waited for this exact moment to greet her.“Jesus!” she exclaimed, flinging the covers aside hastily, cheeks heating up.He didn’t flinch, didn’t move. “And good morning to you too,” he said smoothly, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.“You do know how creepy this is, right? Watching someone

Chapter Thirty Five

Lena descended the grand staircase, her slippers whispering against the polished marble floor. The morning sun poured in through the tall windows, casting long, warm streaks across the foyer. She smoothed down the front of her simple blouse as she reached the dining room, expecting to be met with the usual bustling energy of the Hale household—servants moving quietly, the murmur of conversation, and the clatter of dishes.Instead, she found the room almost eerily quiet. At the head of the long, mahogany table sat Damon, alone, a plate of food in front of him. He looked up just as she entered, but only briefly, then returned to his meal. His expression was neutral, unreadable, his posture rigid, shoulders squared as he spooned a bite of oatmeal into his mouth.Lena’s eyebrows rose slightly, her internal frown growing.She quietly took a seat opposite him, careful not to startle him, and uncovered her plate. To her relief, the spread wasn’t anything extravagantly fancy or intimidating li

Chapter Thirty Six

After scrutinizing thoroughly through the list, they had decided to go for the easiest one which was to ride the tandem bike or as Evelyn called it, “The couples bicycle’ Lena sat under the sprawling limbs of an old oak in the garden, the sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dancing shadows across the manicured lawn. The air smelled faintly of freshly cut grass, mingled with the subtle perfume of the hibiscus and lavender bushes that lined the estate’s paths. Her fingers absentmindedly traced the rough bark of the tree as she stared at the gleaming two-seater bicycle parked a few feet away. It looked… almost regal in its bright cherry-red paint, with polished silver handlebars and a wicker basket strapped to the front. One of the staff had wheeled it out with utmost care, as if it were a priceless artifact.She shifted slightly on the grass, tugging at the hem of her blouse nervously. Her chest tightened at the sight of the bicycle—simple in design, yet intimidating. The

Chapter Thirty Seven

Damon followed her as she steered the bike down the winding paths of the estate, the tires crunching lightly against the gravel. The sunlight angled low through the trees, casting long shadows on the ground, and for the first time, Lena felt like she was actually seeing the country properly instead of through the blur of the estate walls. After a few more minutes, she slowed the bike to a stop and took a deep breath.“Let’s go to the park,” she said finally, almost to herself.Damon’s voice came from behind her, low and amused. “The park?”“Yeah.” She turned slightly in her seat, trying to meet his eyes without losing balance.“Why?”She shrugged. “Unless you have a better idea in mind.”He stayed silent for a moment, watching her fingers tighten on the handlebars. “Just take a left,” he said after a pause, voice calm. “I know where it is.”She frowned, uncertain. “I’m not sure…”“You don’t know your way?” he asked, leaning slightly closer so his hand brushed hers lightly.“But you ha

Chapter Thirty Eight

Damon’s eyes didn’t move for a while. He just stood there, staring at her after the words “on purpose” slipped from her lips — staring like he was searching for something that might explain the madness behind what she just said. Lena could feel the intensity of it, that sharp gaze pulling at her, scanning her face for a lie.She shifted uncomfortably, her fingers brushing the phone she had hastily slipped into her pocket earlier. The silence between them grew taut, fragile, like it could shatter with the faintest sound. Then, without looking away, his voice came out low and deliberate. “What was it you were typing just now?”Her throat went dry. “What… um… no, it’s nothing. I’m not sure,” she stammered, fumbling to tuck the phone deeper into her pocket.“Show it to me.”The firmness in his tone made her stop. She hesitated briefly,her hand hovering at her side before slowly pulling the phone back out. Her fingers trembled slightly as she placed it in his palm. Damon’s eyes flickered

Chapter Thirty Nine

That evening, the air in the Hale estate felt oddly still, the kind of quiet that lingered even after laughter had filled the halls. Dinner had come and gone, the long mahogany table still gleaming under the chandelier’s soft gold light. But even amid Lucinda’s chatter, Felix’s jokes, and Kleo’s teasing remarks about “the soon-to-be newlyweds,” Damon hadn’t looked at her once.He was polite, mechanical even, answering when spoken to but otherwise silent. When his mother made a playful comment about how “domestic” they looked earlier that day in the video, he had simply smiled thinly, eyes fixed on his plate. No warmth. No spark.So Lena gave him space — or at least told herself she was. After all, what was she supposed to do? Chase him down the hallway and demand he talk to her? The thought itself made her cringe. Instead, she offered to help with the dishes, hoping to busy her hands and maybe her mind with something other than the way he’d avoided her gaze all through dessert.T
