​The view from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of our Manhattan loft was nothing short of a winter miracle. Outside, soft, powdery snowflakes drifted down from the slate-gray December sky, dusting the iconic skyline of the city in a pristine blanket of white. Below us, the yellow cabs crawled through the festive avenues, their headlights bleeding into the dusk like amber jewels.​It had been months since that rain-soaked night on 4th Street, months since the ghosts of my past finally stopped haunting my every footstep.​I wasn't Julian’s assistant anymore. That title, along with the quiet intimidation of the corporate hierarchy, belonged to a different lifetime. Now, I walked into Thorne Architecture holding my head high, stepping off the private elevator not with a notepad, but with a quiet, unshakeable confidence. Julian and I didn't hide in the shadows or steal breathless glances in hallways anymore. We lived together—a real, messy, beautiful life carved out in a sprawling penth

BENEDICT​The icy slap of water hit my face like a freight train, shocking my system out of a deep, black sleep.​I sat bolt upright in bed, gasping for air, slicking dripping dark hair back off my forehead. Standing at the foot of my king-sized mattress was Aunt Chloe, holding a broad-rimmed crystal pitcher and grinning at me like a cat that just ate a canary.​"Good morning, sunshine," she chirped, resting one hand on her hip while adjusting the silk lapel of her robe with the other. "Welcome to the land of darkness and early mornings."​I wiped a sleeve over my dripping face, sinking back against the soaked pillows with a groaning sigh. "Aunt Chloe. It’s... what time is it?"​"Eight-thirty," she said smoothly, placing the pitcher down on the nightstand with a delicate clink. "Your mother called me at seven AM sharp from Manhattan to make sure you weren't sleeping in till noon like you do in NYC. Consider this my daily warm family welcome."​"You're sadistic," I muttered, my voice r

BENEDICT​A soft knock at my bedroom door woke me up at eight sharp.​I sat up, raking a hand through my disheveled dark hair, my mind momentarily flashing back to the middle of the night—sneaking out of Valerie’s room at five in the morning before the house staff started moving around.​"It's open," I called out, my voice rough.​The door swung open, and Valerie walked in holding two steaming mugs of black coffee. She had already showered, her thick blonde waves cascading over her shoulders in soft, damp curls, wearing a oversized linen button-down and denim shorts. The heavy, bruised look under her hazel eyes from last night was gone, replaced by a quiet, clean warmth.​She walked over to my nightstand, setting one of the mugs down with a soft clink.​"Thought you might need this," she said softly, her hazel eyes meeting mine. There was zero coldness left in her face—no distance, no high-society armor. Just a silent, heavy gratitude hanging between us for keeping her mess locked awa

BENEDICT ​The drive back from Maya’s waterfront place was long and silent. ​My hands gripped the wheel of the brand-new Porsche my parents had bought and had delivered straight to Seattle the day I got shipped here—a sweet ride, but a glorified leash all the same. The sun was dipping low over the Pacific, casting long shadows across the highway, but my mind was stuck back on that poolside patio. ​She said no. ​The sheer panic in Valerie’s hazel eyes when Nathan grabbed her ankles—the quiet, desperate way she swallowed her pride just to keep the peace—it didn't add up. Valerie wasn't weak. She had a sharp tongue, a proud spine, and a dad like Julian Thorne. If she was letting a high school varsity clown humiliate her in public, it wasn't because she was in love. ​Nathan had something on her. A lever. A weakness. ​And whatever trap he had her locked in, I was going to pull it apart piece by piece. ​By six-thirty, I pulled into the circular driveway of the Thorne estate. The fron

​BENEDICT​I woke up at eight in the morning with a throat as dry as sandpaper and a low, dull throb behind my eyes.​The alcohol from last night was mostly out of my system, but the memories of three in the morning were crystal clear. I took a quick cold shower, pulled on a fresh dark grey tee and black jeans, and headed downstairs to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.​The moment I pushed through the swinging kitchen doors, I ran right into a wall of pure tension.​Valerie was standing by the marble island, leaning against the counter in a soft cream cardigan, holding a mug of coffee. Her blonde hair was pinned up, and her eyes were dark, rimmed with red, looking like she hadn't slept a single wink.​The second her hazel eyes hit mine, her face locked up into a cold, rigid mask of absolute disdain. She deliberately set her mug down with a hard clink on the marble, turning her back to me to stare out the kitchen window.​"Good morning to you, too," I said smoothly, twisting the c
