Chapter 121

Veda’s POVMy stomach twisted as the first video began. It showed Greer and Calder in a quiet corner behind her booth at the trade fair. He pulled her into the small rest tent. The camera angle caught them close. It was too close. Calder’s hand lingered on her arm, then brushed her hair. The video cut to another angle where he kissed her forehead slowly, intimately. Greer looked up at him with shining eyes. Another clip showed them in what looked like a private hallway, bodies nearly pressed together as he whispered something in her ear. Indira played selective recordings one after another. Edited text messages popped up on screen, conversations that had been carefully pieced together to show flirtation, late-night calls, secret meetings. One audio clip captured Calder’s low, possessive voice saying, “Focus on your brand today. You’ve earned this moment,” followed by what sounded like Greer’s soft, breathless reply. Another showed them leaving a hotel area separately but within min

Chapter 122

Greer’s POVThe grand finale day of the National Beauty Trade Fair felt heavier than the previous two combined. I woke up before dawn, my body aching from exhaustion and the lingering bruise on my face, plus the cut on my head that still throbbed faintly. But my mind was sharp, buzzing with a strange mix of nerves and fire. Today was everything. The final presentations, major networking, potential big contracts, and the announcement of the top brands. This was where Lumina Bloom could either soar or get crushed under the weight of everything trying to pull me down.I stood in front of the mirror again, choosing my outfit with care. A sleek cream blouse tucked into high-waisted navy trousers with a bold red belt, professional, confident, and unapologetic. I applied my signature red matte lipstick last, staring at my reflection. The girl looking back had been through war in the last few days, but she was still standing. Still fighting.The viral scandal about Veda had exploded overnight

Chapter 123

Greer’s POV The closing ceremony of the National Beauty Trade Fair felt surreal, like I was watching it happen to someone else. The grand hall was packed, lights blazing down on the main stage as the host called out the final results. My heart hammered so hard I could barely hear anything over the blood rushing in my ears. Cassey gripped my hand tightly behind the booth, both of us barely breathing.“And the Grand Winner of this year’s National Beauty Trade Fair Brand Showcase… Lumina Bloom by Greer!” The words hit me like a thunderbolt. The entire hall erupted in applause. Cheers. Flashing cameras. For a second, I froze, stunned. Then Cassey screamed and pulled me into a crushing hug.“You did it! You actually did it!” she cried.I walked toward the stage in a daze, legs shaking. The bright lights blinded me as I stepped up. The trophy felt heavy and real in my hands. It was a sleek crystal engraved with the fair’s emblem. But that wasn’t all. The host continued with a big smile,

Chapter 124

Greer’s POVI stood there for a moment, keys to the Mercedes in one hand, trophy in the other, breathing in the cool night air. I was just about to shut the front door when a familiar tall figure stepped out of the shadows. Calder. He looked powerful and composed in his dark suit, but his eyes burned with intensity as they locked onto mine. He stepped inside without a word, closing the door behind him with a soft click. The air between us instantly thickened."Congratulations, Greer,” he said, his deep voice low and rough with pride. “You were incredible today.”The trophy and keys slipped from my hands onto the nearby table as I moved toward him. I couldn’t hold back anymore. I pushed him back against the closed door and straddled his thigh, my arms wrapping around his neck as our lips crashed together.The kiss was hungry, deep, and more natural than it had ever felt before. No hesitation. No guilt at this moment. Just raw need. His hands immediately gripped my waist, pulling me ha

Chapter 125

Greer’s POV The morning light filtered softly through the curtains, casting a warm glow over my bedroom. I stirred slowly, my body deliciously sore from the night before. Calder’s arms were no longer around me, but the scent of him still lingered on the sheets. I smiled to myself, stretching languidly as memories of his touch, his kisses, and the way he had claimed every inch of the apartment flooded back.The smell of breakfast wafted in from the kitchen — eggs, bacon, fresh coffee. I slipped on one of his discarded shirts and padded barefoot toward the source. Calder stood at the stove, looking unfairly handsome in just his trousers, the morning light highlighting the strong lines of his back and shoulders. He turned when he heard me, his eyes softening with that intense, possessive warmth that always made my heart skip.“Morning, beautiful,” he murmured, pulling me into a deep kiss. His hand rested on my lower back, holding me close for a long moment before he reluctantly pulled a

Chapter 126

Greer's POVI parked the Mercedes smoothly in my usual spot outside the apartment building, a soft smile still playing on my lips. The day had been nothing short of magical. Signing the papers for the new Lumina Bloom flagship store — a whole three-story building worth fifteen million dollars, felt like a dream I was finally stepping into. My brand was no longer just an idea fighting for survival. It was becoming a real empire, and I was the one building it.The cool evening breeze brushed against my skin as I stepped out of the car, the keys to my new store jingling in my bag. I walked toward the entrance of my apartment with a light heart, already imagining telling Calder everything when he returned. The way he had cooked breakfast for me this morning, the passion we shared last night, it all made my love for him bloom even deeper. He made me feel safe. Cherished. Powerful.But the moment I reached my front door, that warmth shattered.The door was slightly ajar.A thin crack of dar

Chapter 127

Greer's POVThe fluorescent lights of the police station felt too bright, too harsh against my tear-streaked face. I sat on a hard plastic chair in the waiting area, my legs bouncing uncontrollably as I clutched my phone like a lifeline. Every few seconds, I glanced toward the entrance, half-expecting those three hefty men to burst through the doors with weapons drawn, ready to finish what they had started. The thought made my stomach twist violently. What if they had followed me? What if they didn’t care that this was a police station? Assassins didn’t play by rules. They just wanted me dead.I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to stop the trembling, but it was useless. The fear had sunk deep into my bones. I kept replaying the man’s words in my head — “She should’ve been dead by now.” Who hated me this much? Veda? Indira? The uncertainty only made everything worse.A familiar voice cut through the chaos in my mind.“Greer!”Calder stormed into the station, his powerful frame mov

Chapter 128

Veda’s POVThe door to my private penthouse swung open with a heavy thud. I stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the glittering city skyline, a glass of whiskey already in my hand. The three hefty men I had hired walked in, their faces tense, shoulders hunched like dogs expecting a beating. I could tell from their expressions that they had failed. Again.I didn’t even let them speak first. “Well?” I snapped, my voice sharp as a blade. “Is it done? Is that little whore finally dead?”The tallest one, the one who had been so confident earlier, stepped forward and cleared his throat. “Ma’am… she wasn’t there. We broke into the apartment like you instructed. Turned the place upside down. But Greer never showed up. We waited for hours. She must have been out celebrating that stupid win of hers.”The words hit me like a slap across the face.Rage exploded through my entire body, hot and blinding. My hand shook so violently that whiskey spilled over the rim of my glass. Greer w

Chapter 129

Greer's POVTwo days had passed since the terrifying break-in at my apartment, and the fear still lingered like a shadow I couldn’t fully shake. Every sudden noise made me flinch. Every stranger on the street caused my heart to race. But I refused to let terror win. I couldn’t hide forever. Lumina Bloom was growing too fast, and I had a new three-storey building that needed my attention. So, despite Calder’s strong suggestion to take more time off, I returned to work.The morning sun felt warm on my skin as I stood outside my newly acquired flagship store. The beautiful building that had once been just an exciting dream was now mine. Fifteen million dollars invested in my future. I still couldn’t believe it sometimes.Painters were already hard at work when I arrived. I had hired a professional team and given them very specific instructions. The exterior was being painted a crisp, elegant white that would make the building stand out beautifully in the upscale district. Inside, I wante

Chapter 130

Greer’s POV I was still scared. The danger wasn’t gone. But I was moving forward anyway. Calder was waiting for us when we stepped outside, leaning against his car. The sight of him made my heart feel lighter. I walked into his arms, letting him hold me for a long moment. “You did well today,” he murmured against my hair. “I’m proud of you.” With Cassey driving behind us and security following, we headed back to her apartment. I leaned my head against the window, watching the city pass by. Two days after nearly losing everything, I was still here. Still building. Still blooming. And I wasn’t going to stop, no matter how afraid I was. The next day brought a surprise that lifted my spirits higher than I had dared to hope for after the recent terror. I was at the new Lumina Bloom flagship store early in the morning, overseeing the arrival of furniture in bulk, when my phone rang with an unknown number. I answered cautiously, still on edge from the break-in. “Miss Greer? This is t
