The Taste of PowerThe banging on the door grew more frantic."Liora! Please open up! We’re all so worried!" Sarah’s voice was pitched at a perfect level of fake distress, loud enough for the reporters she had 'accidentally' tipped off to hear.Inside the room, the atmosphere was suffocating. Liora stood a few feet away from Mavric, her heart hammering not out of fear, but out of a dark, soaring anticipation. In her past life, this was the moment her soul was crushed. This time, it was her stage.Mavric didn't move to open the door immediately. Instead, he buttoned his obsidian-black waistcoat with agonizing slowness. His eyes never left Liora’s face."They sound eager," Mavric remarked, his voice a low vibration. "Are you ready to be the most hated woman in the city, or the most envied?"Liora reached out, her fingers trembling slightly as she straightened Mavric’s silk tie. The proximity was electric; she could feel the heat radiating from his chest. "As long as I’m standing next to

The silence in the hotel lobby was deafening. Silas White’s face turned from a fiery red to a ghostly, sickly pale. He stared at Liora’s hand, which was tucked firmly into the crook of Mavric’s arm. He stared at the way Mavric stood possessive, looming, and dangerous. "Husband?" Silas finally managed to choke out. His voice was trembling, a mix of disbelief and sheer terror. "Liora, stop this nonsense. You’ve been drugged, you’re confused!" He turned to the police officers standing behind him. "Officer, look at her! She’s not in her right mind!" "Mavric Thorne must have forced her to say this!" Mavric didn't even look at the police. He looked at Silas as if he were a particularly annoying insect. "Force her?" Mavric’s voice was a low, silky threat. "Silas, do you really think I need to force a woman to be with me?" "The only thing being forced tonight is your exit from this building." Mavric’s grip on Liora’s waist tightened, a silent show of support. Liora stepped for

The Architect of Ruin.Liora sat in the Thorne Manor’s library, the soft glow of a laptop screen reflecting in her eyes.It was 2:00 AM. The house was silent, save for the distant hum of the security system.To everyone else, she was a resting bride. To the digital world, she was a predator.Her fingers danced over the keys with surgical precision.She wasn't hacking Mavric tonight. She was visiting an old enemy.White Couture. The fashion brand Sarah White called her 'masterpiece.'In her past life, Sarah had stolen Liora’s sketches to launch this brand.Sarah had claimed the fame, the awards, and the applause while Liora stayed in the shadows."You loved this brand so much, Sarah," Liora whispered, her voice a chilling breeze."Let's see how much you love it when it burns."She bypassed the firewall of White Couture’s main server in less than three minutes.The security was pathetic just like Sarah’s talent.Liora accessed the internal production files for the upcoming 'Spring Elegan

The Price of TreacheryThe morning after the gala, the city was in a state of shock.Every newspaper, every blog, and every news channel carried the same image.Sarah White, sitting on a runway in a pile of melted fabric, crying like a child.And standing over her, like a dark goddess of justice, was Liora Thorne.The headline of the Metropolis Gazette read.THE FALL OF WHITE COUTURE: FRAUD, GAMBLING, AND THE REBIRTH OF LIORA.Liora sat at the breakfast table in Thorne Manor, sipping tea.She was scrolling through the news on her tablet with a look of calm indifference.Across from her, Mavric was reading a financial report."Your father called seventeen times this morning," Mavric said. He didn't look up from his paper."He’s currently at the police station trying to bail Sarah out."Liora set her cup down with a soft click."He won't succeed. The Grand Duke's legal team is handling the fraud charges.""Silas doesn't realize that in this city, a Duke’s anger is more powerful than a fa

The Queen Reclaims Her ThroneThe headquarters of Azure Jewelry was a landmark of glass and silver in the heart of the city.For years, the sign out front had been replaced by 'White Global.'But today, workers were already up on cranes, stripping away the White family name.Liora stood across the street, watching the gold letters fall to the pavement.She was wearing a structured white power suit that made her look like an angel of vengeance.On her neck, the blue diamonds Mavric had given her sparkled under the morning sun."Does it feel good?"Mavric’s voice came from behind her.He was standing by his black Rolls Royce, his hands in his pockets.Liora didn't turn around."It feels like I’m finally breathing for the first time in two lifetimes.""Reclaiming a building is easy, Liora," Mavric said, walking to her side."Reclaiming the soul of a brand is what matters.""I’ve already handled the legal injunctions. Silas has no choice but to sign."Liora looked at the building, her eye
