1 Don’t Worry, I Won’t Live Long

“To love and be loved at the same time—that’s something worth bragging about.”—Evelyn HartA late winter evening.In a quiet corner of New York City, inside the Vellum Society.Evelyn Hart folded up her umbrella and handed it to the attendant. She brushed the snowflakes from her coat and walked straight toward the private room labeled Chamber L1.Knock, knock.She tapped politely on the door before pushing it open.The room was still and quiet. The first thing that caught the eye was the man sitting on the sofa. Sharp brows, striking eyes, a tall nose—his looks were impeccable, almost dangerously so.His presence was cold and commanding, not someone easy to approach.When Evelyn’s gaze landed on him, the man turned his head toward the door. The moment their eyes met, she instinctively tightened her grip on the folder in her hand.She took a few deep breaths, steadying herself, then stepped forward.A black English-style tea table separated them as Evelyn sat down on the sofa opposite

2 Three Rules

Night fell.At the Sullivan estate, Evelyn changed into house slippers in the entryway and took off her coat. Without the heavy winter layers, her body looked even frailer, as if a gust of wind from outside could easily knock her down.She walked forward.Even from a distance, she could hear the laughter coming from the living room.When she reached the doorway, the two people inside caught sight of her. Their smiles instantly vanished. Meeting the woman’s disdainful gaze, Evelyn merely offered a soft, polite greeting, as she always did.Courtney ignored her.Aurora, sitting beside her with a face mask on and a manicurist working on her nails, glanced lazily toward the doorway. “Is your internship really that busy? Coming home past nine?”She turned to tug on Courtney’s sleeve, her tone sharp and mocking. “Some people might just be using their internship as an excuse to flirt with coworkers. Mom, she stole my boyfriend before—shows you what kind of person she is. You should keep her u

3 Testing

Evening.A video call came in from the UK.The IP address read: The Dawson Residence.Before connecting, Liam leaned over and quietly reminded her, “Madam, it’s from the master’s father.”Nicholas Drake’s reputation in New York was notoriously bad.Most of it stemmed from what happened five years ago—when his father, Edward Drake, exiled him to New York and forbade him from leaving.People outside didn’t know the real story. Rumors said he had used ruthless means that cost people their lives, and that his father had locked him up to contain the scandal.In truth, five years ago, nineteen-year-old Nicholas interfered in the UK’s general election, causing Edward to lose. Furious, Edward had him confined to the family’s old estate in New York.Whether it was the fact that Nicholas took his mother’s surname or that he sabotaged his father’s campaign, the two were sworn enemies.The video call connected.On the massive flat-screen TV in the living room, the image flickered to life.A well-

4 Just an Ugly Girl

These dishes didn’t look like Liam’s cooking.Nicholas glanced up. “You made these?”Evelyn nodded. “Mm.”She crouched down and ladled a bowl of soup, carefully handing it to him. “I figured you’d be drinking at your gathering tonight, so I made something light.”She was standing in the warm pool of lamplight.From Nicholas’s angle, when he looked down, he could see her face illuminated softly, her eyes bright with sincerity. On that pale, delicate face, her gaze seemed especially pure, genuine, and clear.Of course, he had already looked into her background.Orphaned young, raised by her uncle’s family.The Sullivans were considered a wealthy New York household, yet she’d lived in hardship. The report even mentioned signs of abuse.That weakness was exactly why he had chosen her.Easy to control.Nicholas took the bowl and drank a sip. “Too bland.”“I’ll add more seasoning next time.”“Were you this obedient at the Sullivan house too?” He set the bowl down, studying her.Evelyn opene

5 He’s Just Got That Temper

“Damn, I’ve been here so many times and never seen a waitress this pretty.”“She looks so innocent.”“Yeah, she’s got that sweet, obedient vibe.”The men around the table chuckled and whispered among themselves.Vance glanced sideways at Nicholas. When he caught the man’s darkening expression, he immediately understood. This beautiful stranger was most likely Nicholas’s newlywed wife.Nicholas’s tone was curt. “What are you doing here?”Evelyn clenched her hands together. Under the weight of everyone’s gaze, she walked toward him, ignoring the others completely. Leaning down slightly, she said in a quiet voice, “Carmen sent me an email. I didn’t know how to respond, so I came to find you.”“I went to your office, but the receptionist said you were here. I could’ve come earlier, but the traffic was terrible. The car couldn’t move, and I had to walk the rest of the way. I’m sorry—it took longer than I thought.”Her voice was soft, trembling slightly, but Nicholas heard every word.Up cl
