Hours later after I woke up and I have never been more confused in my life.I was currently standing at a charity gala beside Sylas. I had been draped in silks and diamonds that didn’t feel real, but was. Everywhere I turned, cameras flashed brightly and voices called out my name.“Mrs. Gold!” An obnoxious short woman, wearing light blue glasses called out,“How long have you known each other?” another had asked,This was a charity gala and reporters were not allowed on the ball floor itself, but that didn’t stop the reporters from dressing up and acting as if they were there to bid on items instead of harassing me with questions.The only reason why I haven’t snapped at them yet was because I could feel Sylas’ hand on mine, and because he had already warned me about what to expect.Sylas' hand rested warm, he leaned down and murmured, “Smile,”I did perfectly, turning towards the direction he was looking at… and that was when I saw him.Evan.What was he even doing here?And what was

“Move to the next phase.”Those words echoed in my head long after Sylas ended the call.I stared at him with furrowed brows, my heart still racing from everything I had seen on screen.“Next phase?” I repeated his words slowly,Sylas did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at me with a calm expression, too calm for someone who had just declared what sounded like war to my ears.Then, almost as if considering, he exhaled lightly and shrugged.“What is the next phase?” I asked again, but this time, my tone was harsher.For a second, I thought he would actually explain. He didn’t. Instead, he stepped closer and his presence grounded me in a way I didn’t quite understand.“You don’t need to worry about that,” he said smoothly, “I’ll handle it.”I stared at him, just like that? Did he think that was the answer I was looking for?“That’s it?” I asked, my voice filled with disbelief, “That’s all you are going to tell me? That you are going to handle it?”“Yes,” he replied without he

Vera’s POVMorning came faster than I had expected. For a long moment, I didn’t remember where I was. The bed beneath me was too large, too soft and too perfect. The sheets felt like silk against my skin, and the faint scent of something expensive lingered in the air. Then it all came rushing back.I exhaled slowly and pushed myself upright.This was my life now and I needed to get used to it. I didn’t stay in bed for long.And it wasn’t just because I was uneasy. There was something about the room that felt too quiet and too still. My thoughts were already beginning to spiral, and I needed air. So, I walked out of my bed, showered and slipped into something light but completely covered.The estate was quieter in the morning. And even though I saw some servants moving around, they were all shadows. The staff were efficient and silent. The doors to the garden were already open, so I walked right in.But the moment I did, I froze and took in a deep breath.The air was cool, fresh and ali

I woke up in the morning with purpose in my steps. I showered faster than I usually did and stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection like I was meeting someone new.The woman looking back at me wasn’t the same one who had walked into that courthouse and gotten married just over a week ago. Today, I was going to do something entirely different, something I had never done before. I was going to walk into a place that had once reduced me to nothing, and this time, I was going to walk in as their new head and C.E.O.I smoothed my hands down the front of my outfit. It was a tailored cream blouse tucked neatly into a fitted black skirt. I wore it because i was simple, elegant and powerful. Also, because it wasn’t too loud.I took a deep breath and turned around to check my clothes again.“Okay Vera,” I whispered to myself, “You’ve got this.”I just had to convince myself of that, and I would. When I finally stepped out of my room, Sylas was already waiting. He stood at the bas

The silence in the boardroom did not break, instead, it tightened.You could feel it in the air and in the way every single person sat just a little bit straighter and the way no one dared to even shuffle papers too loudly.I leaned back slightly in my chair and rested my fingers tightly on the polished table as I scanned the documents that had been placed right in front of me.The documents were filled with numbers, reports and recent contracts of the companies.All things I had seen in some format in the past, but never from this side of the table.“Those are documents for this quarter’s projections,” someone stood up and began to introduce the documents to me, but I stopped him with a hand,“I’ll read them,” I cut in calmly without even looking up at him.Silence descended again, it was more awkward now, but I frankly didn’t care.I flipped a page, then, another. My eyes narrowed the moment I spotted a discrepancy. It was small, yes, but it was glaring enough to immediately catch m
