The auction hall was no longer filled with the scent of perfume and champagne; it was charged with the scent of an impending storm which was about to come.Nathaniel stood frozen, his eyes devouring Elara. Seeing her in the person, draped in that emerald silk, sent a jolt of possessive electricity through his veins so intense that it made his hands tremble. But the sight of Christian’s hand being so relaxed and intimate and resting on the curve of her waist turned that heat inside him into a searing, poisonous jealousy.Melissa’s who was beside him, her face had turned a sickly shade of ash. Even her carefully applied foundation couldn't hide the raw terror in her eyes. “She’s back. Elara…when did that bitch come back?! She…she looks like a queen.” Melissa thought, panicked, gripping her heart. She didn't want to lose to Elara. To the same woman she had mocked years back. Melissa's heart reached with panic as she tried to compose her demeanour.Meanwhile, Anna, who was standing with

The main hall of the Grand Pierre now seemed like an endless sea of gossip and clinking crystal glasses as the formal auction turned into an elite social hour. Waiters moved with trays of vintage Pinot Noir, but the atmosphere near the terrace was anything but celebratory.Elara stood by a marble balustrade, taking a moment to breathe the cool air of the night. Christian had been pulled away by a group of investors, leaving her alone for the first time all evening. But it didn't take long for the vultures to circle Elara. The click of their heels announced their arrival. With a smirk on their faces, Melissa and Anna flanked Elara. At this moment, their faces were twisted into masks of venomous spite now that the cameras and the men were out of the scene."You did quite a performance today, Elara," Melissa hissed, her voice low with suppressed rage. "The little trick with the mallet? So very dramatic. But don't think for a second that a trick with a green rock will make you one of us

The morning of the third day arrived with energy and loads of activity at the Hale mansion. Christian and Elara's engagement was only three days away, and the city was already gossipping for everything promised to be the social event of the decade. Richard, Elliott, and Christian remained in the study finalizing security and other guest lists. While Noah was busy playing video games to earn prizes and money happily.Elara, Emma, and Katherine headed to L’Éclat, one of the most exclusive boutiques in the city’s diamond district.Katherine had already gone to a nearby milliner to customize a ring leaving Elara and Emma to browse the dresses and gown in isles of L'Éclat. The boutique was no less than an epitome of luxury, where the air smelled of white lilies and the decoration around them was worth millions.On the other side of the showroom, Melissa had been surrounded by a group of socialites. She was draped in a designer dress,.and was holding a glass of water like in her hand, lo

The aftermath of the slap left a shocked and stunned silence in the boutique. Melissa stood like a statue, her hand pressed to her throbbing cheek. The sting was painful. Moreover, it was like a branding of her failure against Elara.Her friends hovered around her awkwardly, like a flock of birds. Each of her friends offered her half-hearted murmurs of sympathy asking her if she's okay. Some of them even called Elara insane, but Melissa could easily see the judgment in their eyes for her. They had just watched the woman who used to call herself as Future Mrs. Blackwood, get humbled by the very woman she claimed to despise.Melissa pushed herself off the floor, her cheek stinging with pain. She looked at her friends with deep rage. Deep down, she knew that all her friends and socialites were laughing at her inside their mind, and it increased her anger level even more."Shut up!

The next day, the atmosphere inside the Hale mansion was filled with warmth and celebration the following morning. The heavy foyer was filled with the fragrance of fresh lilies and expensive coffee as the Miller family arrived in the Hale mansion with black town cars. Today was the most important occasion. It was the union of two great dynasties that had shared a loyal and powerful friendship for decades. Christian’s parents, Arthur and Eleanor Miller, stepped into the hall, with his grandmother, with effortless grace and aura.

Eleanor immediately moved to meet Katherine, the two women had always shared a friendship from years. They passed a smile and quickly embraced each other, their embrace speaking the years of the deep friendship they shared together."Katherine, dear, you look so radiant," Eleanor said, her voice soft like velvet as she complimented
