Trapped between

Chapter 11 My head was hammering so hard it felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to my skull. What happened? Slowly, I cracked my eyes open. I was in an unfamiliar room, surrounded by opulent gold accents and high-end decor that practically screamed money. As I gently pushed myself up, I met a pair of deep, ocean-blue eyes staring back at me. "Julian?" "Thank God you're okay," he breathed, letting out a heavy sigh of relief. "I've been worried sick about you. Here, drink this. It'll help." "I'm fine, thanks," I murmured, rubbing my temples. "The doctor said you were poisoned, Elana," Julian said, his voice dropping into a grave tone. "If we hadn't gotten you help in time, you would be dead right now." "Poisoned?" "Yes. A lethal substance—something designed to kill." I racked my brain. I remembered vividly that I hadn't eaten or drunk anything at the restaurant. So how could I have been poisoned? Then, a sudden memory flashed in my mind: walking into my roo

industrial funeral

Chapter 12The look on Victoria's face had been pure, unadulterated misery. She couldn't hide her rage anymore, no matter how hard she tried.As for Lucas, he was going to regret every single second he had ever wronged me.In my past life, no one looked at me. I was invisible—unseen, unwanted, and discarded. But in this life? Two powerful men were practically staging a duel outside the gates just to claim me.Let them bleed. I don't give a damn.I slid into the deep bathtub, letting the scalding water wash their lingering presence off my skin. This version of Elena chooses when she is seen. A sudden, wicked laugh escaped my throat, echoing loudly off the marble bathroom walls. I sounded completely unhinged, and honestly? I loved it.I sank deep into the water, letting the steam coat my face as I scrubbed my skin until it was a fiery pink, purging every trace of my past weakness. When I finally stepped out and wrapped a plush towel around myself, I looked in the mirror.It was time for

Paper trails and power

Chapter 13 Lucas didn't stop. He yanked Celine toward himself, devouring her as if trying to consume every part of her. His fingers tangled violently in her hair, his mouth crushing against hers like he was trying to erase my very presence from the room. He devoured her right there, two feet away from my desk. Celine kept her eyes wide open the entire time. As her hands dug into his hair, she stared over his shoulder, looking directly at me with a slow, toxic, smug little smirk. My mind involuntarily flashed back to my past life—the day I caught Celine and Lucas having sex on his office desk. When I had confronted him back then, crying and utterly broken, the words he spat at me made me go completely numb: listen to me, Elana. I am not sexually attracted to you. I never have been. Back then, my knees had buckled. I couldn't move. Every single day of my pathetic existence, I had prayed that Lucas would notice me, love me even just a little. But I was always the backup plan. The i

Half a man

Chapter 14 "Twenty million dollars," Victoria said smoothly. "And never show your face at the Hales mansion ever again. Disappear like the wind, Elena. Just like you came." I immediately searched for a chair around. "Please, Victoria, sit." She looked at me like I’d completely gone mad. I found a chair for myself too, dragging it over. We sat face to face. I took the piece of paper and tore it into pieces right in front of her. She stared at me like I’d lost my mind. In my last life, I would have taken it. In my last life, I would have bowed and run. I stood up, leaving her totally speechless, and walked out. Outside the walls, the press were already gathered looking for fresh gossip. Cameras lifted the moment I appeared. Blinding lights flashed everywhere, all of them trying to get a glimpse of me. "Elena! Elena Hale!" I didn't rush. I walked down the steps slowly—one hand holding my coat close, the other with my phone already out. In the midst of that charade, I dialed Jul

The new wife

Chapter 15Slowly, I opened my eyes. For half a second, I thought I’d been moved to the next world again.Then I saw blood. On Julian. He had been shot.I quickly ran to him. He was slumped back in his chair, the white of his shirt blooming red. I didn't think twice—I ripped my clothes apart and tied the wounded area."Someone call an ambulance!" I turned around, talking to the wind. The waitresses were already gone. What the fuck.The gun was still in Lucas's hands, pointed down like he couldn't believe what he had just done."Julian," I called out.He looked up at me, his face pale, but his eyes found mine and stayed there. "You're okay?"I wasn't okay. The blood was coming out worse. I looked around, and my eyes landed on the table cloth. I didn’t think—I tore the silk with a vicious rip and dropped to my knees beside him, wrapping the strip hard across the wound and pressing my palm down to stop the non-stop bleeding.“Hold this,” I snapped, shoving his hand over the makeshift ba

I was reborn

Chapter 16I let the silence sit, giving the nuisances a moment to display the full extent of their madness. Then, I moved.I walked over to the sideboard where house documents, spare keys, and the emergency contact list for security were kept. I set my phone down, pulled out a mahogany chair, and sat with complete authority.I looked at Celine. I looked at my silk robe on her shoulders. I looked at her bare feet on my marble floor—at the woman who had waltzed into my house without an ounce of permission.I picked up a spare key and slid it across the table. It screeched against the wood, stopping right between us.“Twenty-four hours.”Celine’s mouth opened to say something, but hung midway, looking like a confused fish.“Pack your shit and leave my house, just the way you came,” I said, my gaze locking onto hers. “If you’re still here when the clock strikes tomorrow night, you will be carried out on a stretcher.”I stood up and walked past them toward the stairs. Behind me, Victoria

A prize or a Weapon

Chapter 17The surprise and shock were written all over his face.Julian stared at me, blinking twice as if waiting for me to yell “gotcha!”"If you did this to lighten my mood, you’ve won, Elena," he said, letting out a breathy, disbelieving laugh."Do you think this is a joke?" I asked, my voice deadly level."I know it is," he replied, shaking his head. "Come on, Elena... would you have believed yourself if the roles were reversed?"He sighed, his eyes softening as he reached for my hand. "Come on. I love you, Elena. Marry me, and let’s build this empire together. Honestly, you just lack the touch of a real man. That’s what’s making you so unsure, so insecure. It’s quite obvious. Marry me," he repeated, his voice dropping into a smooth persuasion, "and I’ll hand you everything on a platter of gold—something Lucas wouldn't be able to do in a hundred years."I stared at him, a slow, cold smirk spreading across my lips."Well," I said softly. "I don't like this version of you. It's ch

Burning house

Chapter 18"If you don't want a bullet in your skull, I suggest you stay still.""How can I possibly stay still in a situation like this?" I muffled against his hand."Promise me you won't make a sound," Lucas whispered into my ear.I gave a tight nod. Slowly, his hand slid away from my mouth."This house isn't safe, Elena," he urged, his voice tight with an urgency I’d never heard from him before. "Go put some real clothes on, grab a few things, and let's leave. Now.""I'm not going anywhere with you." I crossed my arms, cold air biting at my bare shoulders. "Aren't you supposed to be in Hawaii with Celine?""Listen to me, Elena, this isn't the time to be stubborn!" He grabbed my arm, his dark eyes ablaze. "It's your life we're talking about!"I laughed—a sharp, hysterical sound that cut through the dim room. "Oh, really? So out of the blue, you suddenly care if I live or die? Where was this concern when you left me to bleed for hours? Where was it when you watched your mistress roll

The only devil

Chapter 19 I marched out of the room and froze. Standing in the hallway was Lucas, holding my vibrating phone. Before I could demand an answer, the front door banged open with a deafening crash, revealing Julian. "Julian?!" I gasped, staring at him. "What the hell are you doing here?" He rushed toward me, breathing heavily as if he’d just sprinted a mile. His hair was messy, his eyes frantic. My mind spun as I looked back at Lucas. "How did you even have my phone?!" I demanded, pointing at Lucas's hand. It was my phone. The one I hadn’t carried out of the Hale house. The one I had left sitting right on my bathroom counter. Wait. What is going on here? "Julian, how did you find me?" I asked, turning back to him. "I tracked your phone," Julian panted. "What?!" "I swear, I only did it because I heard you were in danger!" Julian blurted out. "The press had headlines flying all over town!" "How did you—"God, what is happening?!" Julian’s voice dropped, dropping into a deadly,

Death wish

CHAPTER 20The Edelman gates opened with grace, and the house inside looked less like a fortress and more like a high-end museum.Julian didn’t speak much on the drive. He just got out, opened my door, and walked me in like I was made of fragile glass and live gunpowder.“Make yourself comfortable,” he said, leading me to a living room bigger than the entire Hale penthouse. “You’re safe here.”“I’m not safe anywhere you are, Julian,” I said, meeting his eyes head-on.He didn’t argue. He just held my gaze for a long moment, gesturing toward the dining room.Twenty minutes later, the rich scent of seared steak, garlic butter, and fresh herbs hit me. A man in immaculate chef whites stood at the heavy dining table with three covered silver platters. He bowed silently to Julian and disappeared into the shadows of the estate.“I called the best cook in Los Angeles,” Julian said, leaning back against the mahogany table. “Steak. Seafood. Pasta. You pick your choice.”He lifted the lids one by
