The next morning, Amara stood across the street from a modest three-story office building, clutching the strap of her handbag tightly.She looked up at the sign hanging above the entrance.Burke Law Firm.The same name the lawyer had mentioned over the phone.Taking a slow breath, she glanced at the message on her phone once more.> Good morning, Miss Williams. This is a reminder of your appointment scheduled for 10:00 a.m. We look forward to meeting you.The message had come from the same number that called her the previous evening.Everything looked legitimate.And yet...A knot twisted in her stomach."What if it's a scam?" she muttered under her breath.People were getting tricked every day.She had heard countless stories online—fraudsters pretending to be lawyers, fake inheritances, forged documents.This could easily be one of them.Her fingers tightened around her bag."...Only one way to find out."Straightening her shoulders, she stepped into the building.The reception area

Hart's Kitchen had never been busier.The cheerful chatter of customers filled the air as waiters hurried between tables carrying steaming plates of food.The aroma of freshly baked bread, grilled chicken, and herbs drifted from the kitchen, making the cozy restaurant feel even more inviting."Table five needs another pasta!""Coming!""Miss Amara, two grilled salmon!""I'm on it!"Amara moved effortlessly through the kitchen despite the chaos surrounding her.She tied her apron a little tighter before lifting another sizzling pan from the stove."Jessica!""The mushroom sauce!""I'm bringing it!"Jessica appeared with two bowls balanced expertly in her hands."I swear," she laughed, "if this place gets any busier, we'll need to clone ourselves."Daniel carried a tray past them."Or hire ten more people.""I vote for ten."The kitchen erupted into laughter.Even Amara couldn't hide her smile.Only a few weeks ago...She had worried whether anyone would even visit the restaurant.Now..

Exactly fourteen days had passed since I'd given the board a chance to prove they deserved their seats. They failed. I wasn't surprised. The elevator doors slid open onto the executive floor, and Liam stepped out beside me, his tablet tucked neatly beneath one arm. The hallway outside the boardroom was unusually quiet. No assistants chatting. No secretaries hurrying between offices. Even the employees who happened to pass by lowered their voices the moment they saw us. Fear traveled fast. Especially after my first board meeting. Liam glanced at me briefly. "They're all here." "I expected nothing less." He didn't reply. He simply reached for the polished oak door and pushed it open. Conversation died instantly. Every head turned toward us. The boardroom looked exactly as it had two weeks ago. Anxiety. It lingered in every corner of the room. Mr. Harrington's fingers drummed nervously against a folder. Ms. Lopez avoided looking in my direction altogether. Mr. Reynolds

The palace looked as majestic as ever, but beneath its elegance lingered an uneasiness that no amount of luxury could conceal.It had been months since King Albert had quietly disappeared from public view.Officially, the palace maintained that His Majesty was attending to confidential matters concerning both the Crown and Grayson Group.Unofficially...Questions were beginning to spread.Thankfully, the presence of former King Theodore had prevented panic. Although he had long since stepped away from the throne, Theodore had resumed overseeing both royal affairs and Hayden Group's major decisions during Albert's absence.Few people knew how exhausting the responsibility truly was.---Theodore sat behind the large oak desk in his study, a pair of reading glasses perched low on his nose as he skimmed through another stack of reports.Across from him sat James.Albert's most trusted confidant.A thick leather folder rested in front of James, filled with financial statements, investment

Amara's POV"I still don't understand why we're here."I stood in front of the cinema entrance with my arms folded, staring up at the giant movie posters decorating the walls.Couples.Everywhere.Some were holding hands.Others leaned comfortably against each other while waiting in line.One girl rested her head on her boyfriend's shoulder as though the entire world had disappeared around them.I suddenly felt... out of place.Beside me, Ethan adjusted the sleeves of his dark sweater before slipping one hand into his pocket."You've never been to the cinema before?" he asked.I looked at him."Does watching movies on Jessica's laptop count?"His lips curved into a smile."I'll take that as a no.""It costs money," I replied with a shrug. "Growing up, buying food was more important than buying movie tickets."His smile faded just enough for me to notice.For a second, guilt flashed across his face."I didn't mean—""It's fine." I nudged his arm playfully. "I'm here now, aren't I?"Tha
