My hands flew up to cover my mouth as tears of pure happiness overflowed, rolling down my cheeks. The sparkling emerald ring shone under the glowing orange light of the sunset, but it wasn't the priceless jewel that made my heart race—it was the deep, unwavering devotion shining in Alexander's dark blue eyes."Yes!" I cried out, my voice breaking with joy. "Yes, Alexander! A thousand times yes!"A wide, breathtaking smile broke across Alexander's handsome face—the happiest I had ever seen him. He slipped the elegant ring onto my finger. It fit perfectly, resting against my skin as if it had been made specifically for me.Before I could even look down at the ring, Alexander pulled me into his arms and lifted me right off the sandy beach, spinning me around in the air as we both laughed. The sound of our shared laughter echoed over the crashing ocean waves.When he set me back down on my feet, he held my face gently in his hands and kissed me with a deep, passionate fire that made my so

The convoy left the city less than thirty minutes later.Two black SUVs drove ahead of us while another followed closely behind.Alexander sat beside me in the back seat of the armored car.He hadn't said much since we left the penthouse.I watched the city disappear through the tinted window."Where are we going?""Outside the city.""That's not an answer."He looked at me."You don't need to know everything right now."I folded my arms."That's exactly what you said when you first took me to the penthouse."His expression softened slightly."And I was wrong."I looked at him in surprise.Alexander Vance wasn't a man who apologized easily."What changed?""You."The single word silenced me.He reached for my hand."I used to believe protecting someone meant making every decision for them."His thumb moved gently across my fingers."Now I understand that protecting you also means trusting you with the truth."I squeezed his hand."Then tell me."Alexander sighed.He opened the briefca

The gunfire stopped as quickly as it had started. Alexander's security team searched every room in the estate, but the mysterious man had disappeared. I stood in the study, staring at the hidden passage behind the bookshelf. There was something about the man that bothered me.He knew my father as well as Leo, and somehow, he knew Alexander. But none of it made sense. The young woman who had entered with Alexander remained near the doorway. She had beautiful, dark hair.A frightened expression that reminded me of the person I had once been. Alexander finally spoke."Chloe, this is Elena."The woman looked at me."Elena?" I nodded. "Yes." She glanced at Alexander. "Is she the woman from the file?" My eyebrows pulled together. "What file?" Alexander looked uncomfortable. "Nothing you need to worry about." I almost laughed. "Apparently everyone in your world loves saying that. "Chloe smiled faintly."I've heard that one before."For a moment, the tension eased, and then footsteps sounded

For several seconds, nobody in the room moved. The image of Leo on the screen remained frozen in front of us. He was sitting on a wooden chair in what looked like an old basement. His hands were tied behind him, and although there was no blood on his face, the fear in his eyes was enough to make my heart stop. I pressed both hands against my mouth.“My son.” Elena moved toward the screen. “Leo!” Julian grabbed her arm before she could get any closer. “Don't.” She turned on him immediately don't tell me what to do. That's my son!“I know,” Julian said, his voice unusually quiet. For the first time since I had met him, I saw something that looked like genuine fear in his eyes. Alexander stood behind me, staring at the screen. The camera shifted slightly, and the three symbols carved into the stone wall behind Leo became clearer.The Vance crest, the Moretti crest, and the third one. A black wolf with its jaws open around a silver crown. Alexander's face changed. “You recognize it,” I wh

Nobody spoke; Julian stared at Leo as though the boy had just opened a grave. “My brother is dead.” Leo shook his head. He said he's not. Julian's hands began to tremble, and Alexander noticed.“Moretti?”Julian ignored him as he walked toward the child. “What exactly did the man say?” Elena pulled Leo closer. You're frightening him, Julian stopped.“Sorry.”He took a breath, then he looked at Alexander. My brother died twenty years ago, Alexander crossed his arms. You never told me you had a brother. Because there was nothing to tell. Julian's voice became colder. His name was Matteo, and I remembered hearing the name before. Not from Julian but from Alexander. I looked at my husband.“You know him?”Alexander shook his head.“Not personally.”Julian continued. “Matteo was supposed to inherit the Moretti empire. He was intelligent. Charismatic. More ambitious than our father. “What happened?” Elena asked. Julian looked down.“He disappeared.”“And you said he died.”“We found his car
