ELLA'S CONFESSION

ELLA'S POV My hands played around my coffee mug as I sat across from Mr. Gold on the window side booth of a small restaurant."So?" His brows raised. "What's so important that you had to tell me in person.""...""It's important that you make this snappy." He glanced at his wristwatch. "I don't have all day.""Mr. Gold..." I paused for a moment, because what I was about to do now was something that would influence the condition of things, either positively or negatively."Your brother and I have been in touch for a long time now."His eyes narrowed. "What do you mean by that?" "I.. I knew that he was alive, even before you found out, because we communicated secretly.""You?" From the way his face contorted, I could tell he was getting angry. That terrified me, but I still continued anyway.This was my mess, I was a huge factor in how things played out and it was only right that I did what I should have done a long time ago. "He reached out to me when he first returned and I've pla

THE GOLD ESTATE

VERA'S POV Sylas returned home just past kid afternoon, this was a surprise to me because he had never been home this early before."You're back already?" I stood up from the couch where I had been lying down. "Lunch isn't ready yet.""Vera." He turned to me, his eyes holding something I couldn't quite explain. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Did something happen?" "I met with Ella today...""What?" I didn't let him finish speaking. "Why on earth would you do that? After everything she has done to us.""She asked to meet, and explained some things to me." He continued."Okay." I pressed. "So what's the matter?""She has been working with Cassian all this time, and she told me his current location." He exhaled.I was confused for a moment because his words and expressions didn't correspond."If you round his location shouldn't that be a good thing? Why the long face?" "He's in Gold estate Vera." He said, breathing out slowly."What?" My eyes widened. "Why would he be in Gold estate?""Th

CASSIAN'S HEART

CASSIAN'S POV I got into the Gold estate through the back gate, a place that only very few people knew existed. A man was waiting for me the second I got through the gate. He was one of my men who had impersonated Sylas's lieutenant. "Hello boss. Lt. Josh reporting." "You must really enjoy doing this." I chuckled. "I do." He smiled proudly."Updates?""Yes boss, someone informed them of your coming. So they're preparing."I frowned when he said this. "I've got a rat now?""But it wasn't me." He quickly added. "I swear on my mother's life."I took a few steps closer to him while he moved back, until his back was on the wall."I never accused you, soldier." I patted his shoulder. "Don't trip with guilt unless you're really guilty.""Yes sir!" He quickly stood straight."Let's get on with it, there's no time." We moved through the estate using small hideouts, and in no time, we had made our way to the opposite far end of the estate.The estate security system started blaring, they

THE FINAL CONFRONTATION

SYLA'S POV I knew Cassian had arrived the second the estate lights went out. It was no coincidence, it was just his strategy.Cassian was smart, and I would always give him credit for that. But there was something he was failing to understand, even with a killer brain like his, it's easy to predict him when his routine remains the same.I had been blind for a long time, but the blueprints were there all along and if I had focused on his movements instead of obsessing over the fact that he made good use of his brain, finding him would never have been a problem.Now we were both at the heart of the estate. No army between us, no lieutenants, no subordinates who carries out our every command. Just the two of us."You got me this time brother." Cassian took a few steps forward. "Should I applaud you for that?""Oh please." I rolled my eyes. "Save the sentiments, that is if you even mean them.""Does that matter to you?" Cassian's expression turned cold. "I've always been the bad brother,

YOU LOST ME

CASSIAN'S POV I pressed the gun harder to Sylas's neck. It was funny how I could feel his body vibrating through the gun."Cassian.." He called rather calmly."What's with your voice?" I asked mockingly. "Where did all the courage from earlier go?""This is a fist fight, and you bring a weapon?""Come on." I chuckled. "There were no rules, you should have known better." He tried to turn but I moved the gun in his skin, as a reminder that any stupid bravery would send him to the grave."Don't move a muscle brother, or I'll shoot you without thinking twice.""Got it.""Now I want both your hands in the air." I ordered.He complied slowly and of course, he knew better than to try anything stupid.I took a step away from him."Turn around very slowly." I said. "Try anything funny and I'll pull the goddamn trigger."Sylas turned around with both hands in the air, his eyes would have set me on fire if that was possible."Easy brother." I laughed. "Don't act like a bad dog.""I'm not a dog

THE FALL

VERA'S POV I paced back and forth in the control room, biting my nails. Time was moving slowly, and my anxiety was reaching its peak."Shouldn't he be back yet?" I turned to Elias who was watching the surveillance screen."You should calm down Mrs. Gold, I'm sure he has everything under control." His words were supposed to calm me, but instead, they made things worse."What if that's not the case?" I argued.He turned his body fully to me. "I assure you that the boss is fine." I tried to believe him, I really did, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. It didn't help that the surveillance camera didn't cover that part of the estate. Why was that anyways? This was something I had to look into when all of this was over."Can't I just go and check the situation of things?" I asked after a while."No." He sighed. "It's dangerous. Besides, the boss asked me not to let you out of my sight.""But he won't come back, and I'm dying of anxiety!" "Lieutenant." Elias

NO MORE WAR

SYLAS'S POVCassian's reign of terror was finally over. And after his demise, it seemed that the strange darkness that clouded our lives for so long was finally gone.The estate roared with fresh energy and Vera had been especially active. We had encountered a lot of difficulties and I never believed myself that I would live to see those days come to an end. But it was happening anyways. Some days, it felt like a dream to me, but it was in fact just how things had turned out.A few weeks after Cassian's death, I decided to make a few changes around. I dismantled the part of my family's empire that had been built around violence and illegal operations.The darkness surrounding them had almost forced us to our end, more than once. I wasn't going to let Vera inherit or get involved with that darkness, not while I was still alive and breathing.I was done fighting for survival, I was done living life blindly. I was going to choose Vera and I was going to choose the future we would buil

THE PROPOSAL

VERA'S POV I rushed upstairs and slipped into a brown dress, it wasn't anything too formal, but it wasn't very casual either. I had no idea where Sylas was taking me, so I needed to be prepared.After getting dressed, I headed downstairs where he was waiting. "Aren't you going to change?" I asked."No, I'm good." He dragged me to himself the moment my legs left the last step. "You look amazing.""Thanks." I kissed him. "So where are we headed.""It's a surprise." I managed to maintain a blank expression. "You know surprises aren't really my thing.""Yeah." He nodded, heading the dining area. "You'll love this one.""Okay?" I sighed. "And where are you going?""Getting something." He returned with one hand behind his back." "What is that?" I smiled."A little present for my lady." He handed me a bouquet of flowers."Wow." I sniffed them the second they got to my hands. "These are lovely, where did you find such pretty flowers." "It's a secret." He beamed."Don't take too much cred

OUR WEDDING

VERA'S POV Everything was beautiful to me this fateful morning. The sun, the sky, the birds and even the sound of voices as a bunch of people stormed the house to my bedroom.There was a sharp knock on the door, followed by a soft feminine voice. "Where's the bride?!" They had arrived. The bride's gang, as they called themselves.I forced myself out of bed and straight to the door."Hello beauty." A woman in her mid forties hugged me straight up. I didn't know who she was, but that didn't matter. They were all here to share my joy."Come in." I opened the door wide and they all trooped in.They sat me down without wasting another second and started getting me ready. From my hair to my dress and make up, they left no stone unturned.Then they took turns in talking about their weddings and dream weddings. It was fun listening to them.These women were strangers to me, but how they managed to connect to each other and myself truly amazed me.Once while I was getting ready, Sylas had c

CHOSEN

VERA'S POV Several months had passed since that night at the Gold estate, and a lot of things had changed during this time.Sylas and I were finally a legal couple, happy and enjoying the best period of our lives. There was no war, no Cassian, no family drama and all. Just us, enjoying the peace we had craved for so long.Time had changed and healed a lot. Take me for instance. I had met Sylas as a broken girl who was at her lowest point in life and entered a contract marriage as business, the only way to save myself after going through the most traumatic breakup. But who thought that I would actually find in an unlikely place like this, with a man who everyone else had deemed unfit for me.And the best part of it? I did not only find love, I also found myself.With Sylas's support and that of everyone else who cared about me, I was able to build my own identity, a stable career, and my own place within the Gold family.And the biggest take in all of this?
