who’s the Boss ?

Elias’s POV I stood by the large table near the front entrance, fixing my watch strap. Outside, the morning sun was bright, shining through the large glass doors of our estate.I turned around to see Thea walking toward me. She was wearing a simple, comfortable dress, her soft eyes looking straight at me. She looked much better than she did last night, rested, calm, and completely focused."Are you leaving now?" she asked softly, stopping a few feet away."Yes," I said, stepping closer to her. I reached out and gently smoothed down the collar of her dress. "I would like for you to stay home today, Thea. You don’t need to go to the news office, I’m sure they can work without you for a day. Just stay inside the estate gates. The guards are on high alert, and you'll be safe here."I had assumed she might have argued with me. And that she would launch into a rant of how she had work to do or that she didn't need a team of guards keeping tabs on her movements. But today, she just looked a

a cornered trap

ELIAS’s POV I walked down the quiet executive hallway toward the main conference room, my father following closely behind me. Through the clear glass walls, I could see the entire board of directors sitting around the massive mahogany table. At the far end stood my cousin, Sirius Vane, gesturing wildly with his hands as he tried to look deeply concerned."I am telling you, I’m well informed in matters like this and you should be taking it serious, we cannot risk the company's reputation!" Sirius was shouting as I pushed the heavy glass doors open. "The permits are unstable, and my private sources indicate a massive security breach! Postponing the banquet by just one week is the only responsible move!"The room fell dead silent the moment I stepped inside. Every board member turned to look at me.I didn't rush. I walked slowly to the head of the table, setting my leather folder down with a quiet thud. I looked at Sirius, whose pale face twitched slightly when our eyes met.“Who’s sta

burning fuse

Sirius stared at Elias with absolute hatred. The muscle in his jaw twitched as he fought the urge to leap across the desk and strike the younger man. Elias remained completely still, his face an unreadable, cold mask, his dark eyes looking down at his cousin with quiet disdain."Grasping at straws?" Sirius spat out, letting out a harsh, bitter laugh. "You really think I'm just playing games, don't you? You sit up there on the top floor wearing grandfather's custom suits, acting like you built this company with your own hands when it got handed over to you like dog requesting treats.""Whether I was given the company easily doesn’t matter, grandfather understood I could run this company because I am capable, Sirius," Elias said smoothly, his tone remarkably calm compared to the rage radiating from across the desk. "He chose me because you were too busy using the Vane name to cover up your illegal gambling dens. Like he said, you lack discipline."Sirius leaned forward, slamming his pa

invited memories

Thea sat at the reading table, surrounded by a few old cardboard boxes. These were the belongings she had retrieved from the Sterling mansion when she went with Elias to check on it. Inside were dusty photo albums, a few hand-drawn sketches from her childhood, and a small silver music box that she once used often.She picked up a faded photograph of herself as a little girl standing in the gardens of the old Sterling estate. She traced the edge of the frame, her mind wandering back to the quiet, lonely days she spent. She was trying to piece together her own fractured past, trying to understand why Arthur Sterling had adopted her, and why every trail leading to her birth led to a dead end.A quiet knock at the library door shattered the silence.The lead security guard stepped into the room, looking visibly uncomfortable. "Mrs. Vane... you have a visitor at the front gate."Thea set the photograph down, her eyebrows pulling together in confusion. "A visitor? Who is it?""It’s Mr. Da

Inside Darius Manchester’s mansion, the afternoon was dead silent.Emily sat on the edge of the plush bed in the guest room, her foot tapping nervously against the polished hardwood floor. She had spent the last two hours quietly going through every single drawer, desk, and bookshelf in the unlocked areas of the second floor.She was looking for anything, a ledger, a contract, a police report, or even a casual note about the Sterling family. But there was nothing. Darius was far too meticulous to leave sensitive documents sitting around in an open room."Useful for nothing," Emily muttered to herself, running a hand through her messy hair in sheer frustration. "He brings me here under the excuse of protection, but he's just keeping me locked up so I can't write my story."She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rear of the property. Below lay a massive, sprawling estate garden filled with manicured hedges, stone pathways, and a towering iron gate at the far edg

Desperate moves

Sirius Vane stepped out of the executive elevator into the basement parking garage, holding a cold ice pack against his forehead. His head was throbbing with a brutal headache. He had spent the last two hours screaming at his subordinates, kicking furniture, and trying to figure out how his carefully built plan had shattered in a single afternoon.As he walked toward his sleek silver Maybach, a shadow stepped out from behind one of the concrete pillars."Well, well. Look at my defeated nephew," a mocking, raspy voice echoed through the dim garage.Sirius stopped in his tracks, his jaw clenching tight. Walking toward him was Antony Vane, his father’s half brother, a distant uncle who held a minor, lazy seat on the board of directors. Antony was smoking a cheap cigar, a sharp, cruel sneer plastered across his wrinkled face."Get out of my way, Antony," Sirius growled, pushing past him toward his car. "I am not in the mood for your nonsense today.""You never are, Sirius," Antony chuckl

tensions arriving

Elias’s POV The gates of my estate creaked open, and the sedan pulled smoothly up the long, winding driveway.I didn't waste a second. As soon as the car stopped in front of the main doors, I stepped out into the afternoon air. My guards pulled a crying, dirt-streaked Emily out of the back seat right behind me."Bring her inside," I ordered cold, unyielding instructions to the security detail. "Lock her in the east wing holding room. Make sure she stays quiet.""Yes, Mr. Vane," the chief guard nodded, roughly leading the trembling journalist toward the side entrance.I smoothed down the front of my suit jacket and walked through the heavy front doors. My chest felt tight. My mind was racing with everything that needed to be finalized before tomorrow’s banquet, but more than anything, I needed to see my wife.I stepped into the grand foyer and walked straight toward the living room.It was dead silent.I looked around the spacious room, the high ceilings, the soft velvet sofas, the ma

unraveling drama

THEA’s POV I stared at Emily, she looked disheveled standing in our drawing room, my mind struggling to process the scene. Her clothes were wrinkled and dirty, her hair was a mess, and dried tears streaked her face.I looked at Elias, waiting for him to explain, but before he could say a word, he turned toward Darius."She is not innocent," Elias said, his voice hard as his temper flared. "And don’t act so smug, Darius. I caught her running away from your estate, so you had her locked up first."The room fell into a quiet, heavy tension.I turned my head slowly to look at Darius, raising an eyebrow at him. "You had her at your house, Darius? What is going on?"Darius shrugged, keeping his hands in his pockets with a calm, indifferent expression."Consider it another favor done by me for you, Thea," Darius said smoothly. "I was only keeping her out of trouble until things settled down."Elias stepped directly between me and Darius, his dark eyes fixed on him."Stop it, Darius," Elias

cruel dirty tactics

The doors of the main estate clicked shut behind Darius, leaving the entrance hall in a brief, heavy silence.Outside on the cobblestone driveway, Darius walked calmly toward his waiting black luxury sedan, adjusting his suit jacket. His chief assistant, who was holding the rear door open for him, leaned in closer and spoke in a low, urgent voice."Sir, our perimeter scouts just spotted three unmarked vans parking near the rear woods of the Vane estate," the assistant reported quickly. "There are men in dark clothing moving along the tree line toward the generator shed. It looks like Sirius Vane is moving."Darius stopped, his hand resting on the top of the open car door. He looked back toward the towering stone mansion, his expression unreadable."Should we intervene, sir?" the assistant asked, looking tense. "Or warn Mrs. Vane?"A slow, cool smile touched Darius's lips. He took a slow breath, stepping into the comfortable backseat of his car."No," Darius replied smoothly, pulling h

didn’t work out

Elias walked back into the house with his main security detail right behind him. His face was cold, and his jaw was set tight. He had just spent twenty exhausting minutes at the front gates, arguing with city officials and sending the sirens and fire trucks away. He knew the brushfire at the rear gate had to be a setup, and he knew Sirius was behind it."Check the perimeter again," Elias ordered his chief guard in a low, sharp tone. "I want double guards on every door.""Yes, Mr. Vane," the chief guard said, turning to give orders to his men.Elias didn't stop to rest. He turned on his phone's flashlight and walked fast toward the east wing. His heart was beating fast in his chest. His primary concern was not the house, the power outage, or the reporter. It was Thea. He had left her alone inside when the lights went out, and he needed to see with his own eyes that she was safe.He rounded the corner near the service pantry, his light cutting through the thick darkness of the hallway
