EleanorI was sitting on the top floor of L’Aura, in the exclusive section, staring at the ledger in front of me. I took a small sip of wine, my plate of oysters left untouched.Across the private table, Arthur, my lead accountant, took a slow sip of his bourbon. He had been on my payroll for over fifteen years, long before my husband died."It's completely moved, Madam Eleanor Sterling," Arthur said in a quiet voice, leaning over the candle between us. "The offshore shell accounts in the Caymans have received the final transfer. With this last batch, we’ve successfully siphoned off nearly thirty percent of Sterling Industries' liquid assets.""Thirty percent," I repeated, my lips curling into a small, pleased smirk. "Good.""If the board catches wind of this, or worse, the SEC, we are going to be in deep shit..." He swallowed hard, glancing around the dimly lit dining room. "We aren't just talking about fines, Madam. We are talking about federal wire fraud, tax evasion, and embezzlem

JasonMy phone went off on the nightstand, ringing loudly in the quiet bedroom.I groaned, reaching out blindly from under the sheets to grab it. The bright screen burned my eyes. It was a call from Eleanor.I pressed answer and brought it to my ear. "Hello?""Jason Sterling," Eleanor yelled through the phone speaker. "I want to see you at my house right now!" she thundered.Before I could ask what was wrong, the line went dead.I sat up on the edge of the bed, running a hand over my face. Next to me, Victoria shifted under the sheets, propping herself up on her elbows. Her blonde hair fell loosely over her bare shoulders as she looked at me with a frown. "Who was that?" she asked, her voice still raspy."Eleanor," I muttered, swinging my legs over the side of the bed. The sheets pulled away from my body, leaving me completely naked.Victoria scrunched her nose in disgust. "Mother? What does she want this early?""I don't know," I answered honestly. I stood up, turned back to the bed,

LauraI cut into a velvet cake slice and took a bite; it was moist and sweet, just perfect. On the table, there was a long spread of cake slices and different bottles of wine. Jasmine had invited us over to come do the cake and wine testing for her wedding.I heard the sound of footsteps descending the staircase. I looked up immediately. Jasmine was coming down slowly, taking one step at a time. Watching her made my heart do an anxious flip. Every time she wobbled slightly, I held my breath, ready to spring out of my chair and rush to her side. I glanced at Marcus, who was sitting beside me; his eyes were fixated on her, his brows pulled in worry.When her foot hit the final step, she let out a triumphant little breath and smiled at Sebastian. He was already looking at her fondly. Relief washed over me; my eyes welled up with fresh tears. I quickly turned my head away and swiped at my eyelashes before anyone could notice."Look at you," I teased, instantly switching back to my bubbly

EleanorI sat across from Victoria at the dining table, watching her delicately cut into her salmon. She looked completely unbothered, as if she had no care in the world. But ever since Sebastian Night walked into my exclusive booth at L’Aura and laid out that terrifying threat to tear my life down to dust, my mind hadn't known a single second of peace.I couldn't get his face out of my head. I could still hear that eerily calm voice in my head. I could see the smile in his eyes. The confidence that radiated off of him. He wasn't bluffing. Men like Sebastian Night didn’t make casual threats unless they fully intended to carry them out.I set my fork down, taking a slow sip of my wine, peering at Victoria from above the rim of my wine glass. I needed answers, but I couldn't afford to look weak or paranoid. If I told Victoria that Sebastian had approached me, it would open up a can of worms I didn’t want opened. She would realize what I deeply feared, and didn’t want getting out. The fr

JasonI walked into the company cafeteria, muttering under my breath. My secretary wasn't at her desk again, which meant that if I wanted a decent cup of coffee to get through the afternoon, I had to come down and get it myself.I turned on the coffee maker and watched as the hot black liquid poured into the paper cup in my hand. I had a scowl on my face.As I stepped away from the counter, two staff members standing near the pastry display caught my attention. They were leaning toward each other, giggling and whispering excitedly."I'm telling you, it's going to be the wedding of the century," one of them said, holding her phone out so the other could see the screen. "Look at the venue leaks. It's unreal. I can't wait to see all the photos when they post them.""Right?" the second girl gushed, fanning her face with her hand. "Sebastian Night is literally every woman's dream. He's such a people's man, so handsome and wealthy. Jasmine is so ridiculously lucky to have him all to herself

JasmineI stood in the center of the fitting room while the assistant carefully smoothed out the satin train of the third dress. Once everything was pinned in place, I stepped out from behind the curtain and into the main lounge.Laura was sitting on the plush velvet couch, swirling a glass of champagne in one hand. The second her eyes landed on me, her mouth dropped open."Oh, my God! You look so hot!" Laura gasped, setting her glass down on the coffee table with a clatter. "I mean, look at you! The tatas are out!"I looked down at the plunging neckline, my cheeks heating up. "You think it's too much?""I know Sebastian would love it," Laura said, leaning forward and squinting at the fitted bodice. "But that's the exact problem. Sebastian would love it way too much. The wedding wouldn't even make it past the vows because he'd be hunching you right there in front of all the guests."I burst out laughing and bent over. Beside me, the young assistant tried hard to keep her composure, he

Jasmine My whole body turned on alert as soon as Sebastian locked the bedroom door. He had made it clear with his eyes and his hands what he wanted all day. My body was alive with anticipation. My core throbbed between my legs; my nipples were hardening buds, waiting for his touch or his tongue. Sebastian didn’t say a word. He took my hand and led me to the edge of the bed, his dark eyes fixed on mine, his gaze unflinching. I stared into his eyes, and I could see and feel the depth of his feelings for me. He laid me down on the bed and came to hover over me. He pulled off the big T-shirt I had on; it was his. I sucked in a deep breath as he pulled it over my head and tossed it to the side, leaving me bare save for the white lacy panties I had on underneath. Every time his fingers brushed against my skin, it sent shivers throughout my whole body. It didn’t matter how many times Sebastian made love to me; my body always longed for and desired his touch, like it was the first time.

EleanorI sat in the library armchair at the Sterling estate, taking a slow sip of my tea and watching Mr. Halloway. He had been my personal private investigator for weeks now. He was pacing back and forth near the bookshelf, holding a tablet in his hand."So," he began, clearing his throat. "Regarding the wedding preparations, things are moving quite fast. They've apparently settled on a wedding dress by an Italian designer. I couldn't get the exact name of the designer or what dress she settled on, but based on some recent social media posts Miss Vance has been reposting, I suspect it's a ball gown."I set my teacup down on the saucer with a loud clatter, glaring at him.He didn't take the hint. "Her chief bridesmaid is Laura, her father's former secretary, who became a close friend. On Mr. Night's side, his best man is Marcus, who used to be Miss Vance's bodyguard. As for the venue, it's still uncertain. It's strictly by invitation, so they're keeping it a closely guarded secret un

SebastianJasmine’s head was resting on my bare chest, her long dark hair sprawled across the white sheets. I drew small, lazy circles on her shoulder, listening to the soft, steady rhythm of her breathing in the dark room."I was thinking about my vows today," she said in a soft voice.I chuckled, looking down at her. "Jasmine. Is this post-nut clarity?"She let out a loud laugh, burying her face into my neck and swatting my side playfully. I burst into laughter with her, wrapping my arm tighter around her waist to pull her close to me."I'm serious, Sebastian," she said, her tone softening as she propped her chin on my chest to look up at me. "I was just thinking about everything. You're the man who saved me, you know that?"I stopped smiling, staring into her eyes."When I left my former marriage," she continued in a quiet voice, her voice trembling slightly, "it felt like it wasn't enough to make up for the years of torture. My self-esteem was so damaged. I honestly felt like that

Sebastian"I don't recall giving you permission to enter my office, Mr. Night," Eleanor retorted angrily, leaning back in her leather chair. "And frankly, I don't want to see you.""I bet you don't," I countered.The man loudly cleared his throat, adjusted his tie, and made a move toward the door. "I'll give you some privacy, Mrs. Sterling.""I do remember where I know you from," I said, stopping him in his tracks. "You were there the other night at L’Aura. But that's not when I took note of you."He stopped, his hand hovering over the doorknob. He turned back, looking at me with a cautious frown."Your name came up in a couple of documents," I continued, looking directly at him before turning my gaze back to Eleanor. "You're quite skilled at what you do, aren't you? Of course, I had to look you up to put a name to the face. And voilà!" I spread my hands wide with a small, pleasant smile. "I did know that face. Hello, Arthur Franklin. What a pleasure it is to see you. I can't say the
