Kalina's POV"Ms. Lawson, please have the driver turn around at the next exit. Mr. Hemsworth won't be going to Norland today." Brian Hemsworth's executive assistant, Madson Brent, sounded perfectly calm.I slowly opened my eyes, still leaning against the back seat.We were already on the highway to the airport. My passport, luggage, and all eight outfits I'd bought for the Northern Lights trip were packed in the trunk."Is something wrong with the plane?""No." Madson hesitated. "The private jet has been rerouted to Montreval. Ms. Parker needs a snowy mountain backdrop for her graduation project, so Mr. Hemsworth has decided to accompany her."I watched the road signs flash past the window. "Oh."The driver glanced at me in the rearview mirror.He probably expected me to ask when Brian would be back, when we would reschedule our Norland trip, or maybe even throw a fit and demand that the plane turn around.But I'd already seen the answer on social media.Ten minutes earlier,

Kalina's POVAfter Muffin went missing, Fiona was too scared to live alone. She claimed that every time she heard a door open, she pictured Muffin running away right in front of her. She couldn't sleep at night.So Brian let her move into Clearwater Bay.She already had Willowbrook to herself. Now she had a room at Clearwater Bay, too.She was like an invasive vine, spreading wherever she went until she'd claimed every place as her own.With seven days left on my contract, Fiona decided to throw a dinner party at the house to make amends.When I came downstairs, the living room was packed. String lights were wrapped around the staircase railing, music blared from the speakers, and several young people were gathered around Fiona, taking pictures.She hurried over as soon as she saw me. "Ms. Lawson, you're finally here!""What's all this?""I've felt terrible ever since I lost Muffin." She offered me a glass of champagne. "Mr. Hemsworth said you're not really into parties, but s

Third-person POVBrian stood there for a long moment, unable to move.The auction had already started. The manager texted to ask when he'd be arriving. Brian ignored the message and called Kalina instead.He got the same automated message three times. The number was no longer in service.He tried calling her through the messaging app. The call failed to connect. Kalina had deleted him from her contacts.Brian stared at his phone and gave a humorless laugh. "Fine. So that's how it's going to be."Fiona asked quietly, "Do you think Ms. Lawson is upset?""She wants me to go after her." Brian loosened his tie, his expression darkening. "She never used to complain about anything. Now that the contract's over, she's suddenly decided to make a scene."Harlan hesitated. "Mr. Hemsworth, Ms. Lawson didn't take any of the things you gave her.""What?""The jewelry, the handbags, the car. She left all of it behind."Brian looked at the dining table. The sapphire brooch sat on top of the

Third-person POVFiona still hadn't moved out. She claimed her dorm was still being renovated, and Clearwater Bay was close to campus.Brian hadn't asked her to leave, and it wasn't because he wanted her around; he simply hadn't been home in days.On the fifth day, Fiona went live. She sat in the living room, her eyes red from crying. "A lot has happened lately. Please don't ask Mr. Hemsworth about it. He's been having a hard time, and I just want to give him some space."The comments poured in."She's so sweet and understanding!""Isn't it a good thing his ex is finally gone?""Good riddance! We don't have to put up with that bitter old hag anymore."Fiona bit her lip. "Please don't say that about Ms. Lawson. She's just a little sensitive. Maybe I did something to upset her, and that's why she left so suddenly."As she moved the camera, it caught the mark left by the cedar chest in the corner. Someone recognized the embroidered table runner from the dinner party."What happe

Kalina's POVBrian didn't leave. He checked into a hotel nearby instead.He stopped sending flowers and jewelry, and he didn't show up at my door again. But every morning, he sat at my usual coffee shop.I would go in for my coffee, and he would watch me from a couple of tables away without saying a word.By the third day, I'd had enough.I walked over to his table. "Don't you have work to do?""I can work remotely.""Is Hemsworth Group going under?""Not anytime soon.""Then why are you sitting here?"Brian looked up at me. "Because I want to get to know you again."I let out a disbelieving laugh. "And who said I wanted that? You don't have to."He spoke calmly. "I used to make all the decisions for you. This time, it's up to you. I'll wait."Well, that was progress; not much, but still, I picked up my coffee and turned to leave. However, he stopped me with another question. "Do you always drink oat milk lattes?""Yeah.""How come I've never seen you drink one before?"
