Chapter 91

Greer’s POVThe confrontation with Veda still echoed in my head days later, but instead of breaking me, it solidified my decision. I couldn’t stay in that mansion any longer. Not even for one more week. Every corner reminded me of Calder’s control, Veda’s cruelty, and the version of myself I was desperately trying to leave behind. So I did something terrifying.I rented my own apartment. It was a beautiful, well-furnished one-bedroom unit in a quiet but decent neighborhood. The living room had large windows that let in plenty of natural light, a small kitchen with modern appliances, and a cozy bedroom with a walk-in closet. It even came with basic furniture; a sofa, dining table, and a comfortable bed. Exactly what I needed to start over. But renting it nearly wiped out almost all the money I had made from Lumina Bloom so far. I stared at my bank balance on my laptop screen, heart sinking. The deposit, first month’s rent, and moving costs had taken a massive bite. What was left was b

Greer’s POV“Wait— what?! Greer, slow down. Twenty-five million?! Okay, breathe. Yes, you need to go to the bank immediately. I’ll meet you there. Don’t touch the money. Don’t spend anything.

Greer’s POVI stared at the message on her screen, hardly able to believe it.“Really?” I whispered, a genuine smile breaking across my face for the first time that day.“Yes!” Cassey laughed, looking just as thrilled. “They loved our brand story and the samples we sent. This is huge, Greer. There are going to be thousands of people there, potential customers, retailers, even beauty influencers. This could be our big break!”For a moment, all the stress about the mysterious money faded into the background. I pulled Cassey into a tight hug, both of us laughing with relief and excitement.“We’re really doing this,” I said, voice thick with emotion. “slowly, but we’re actually moving forward.”Cassey hugged me back fiercely. “We are. And we’re going to kill it at that trade fair. I’ll help you prepare everything. The branding, display setup, marketing materials. This is your moment, Greer.”I nodded, feeling a renewed surge of determination despite the strange cloud of the anonymous mon
