she pointed at Diego, “—is taking you away, then just go. Is he your boyfriend? Good. I’d rather have your unit empty than occupied by someone who can’t pay on time.” Hazel’s face flushed—not with anger, but with a humiliation that pierced her to the bone. Diego offered a small smile.

Your grandmother’s heart is currently being managed by a remote-monitored pacemaker, Miss Vance. It requires a daily authorization code from the Acheron server to keep the rhythm steady." ​The lawyer turned to the door, his movements fluid and efficient. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Miss Vance. Mr. Thorne. I’d wish you luck, but I suspect you’re fresh out."

"LEAVE BY DAWN. THE LAND HAS A NEW QUEEN." Gregory roared, throwing the glass against the wall. The bourbon stained the wallpaper like old blood.

I couldn’t breathe. “Three hours,” Damian said, checking his gold watch. It gleamed under the harsh office lights, a symbol of everything I didn’t have. “Your father has three hours left on his insurance grace period. My lawyers have already filed the eviction papers. The movers are on standby. So? What’s it going to be, Elara? Pride? Or survival?” I stared at him. My mind was spinning. Memories flashed before my eyes, unbidden and painful.

 FINAL EVICTION NOTICE — 7 DAYS TO VACATE Her rent had been late for three months. She knew this was coming, but the reality still hit like a slap.

This apartment — Unit 3204 in Voss Tower — had been her only stable place for the past year. And now, it was about to be taken away by the ruthless billionaire who owned the entire building.

The official crimson seal of the Municipal Property Clearinghouse was stamped at the top, but it was the bold, elegant script at the bottom of the signature line that made her entire body go entirely bloodless.

After I returned home from traveling abroad, I found that our housekeeper had sued my husband and me. In court, she cradled her protruding belly and said with heart-wrenching anguish, "Gary and his wife are absolute scum! Under the guise of hiring a housekeeper, they lured me into their home, tied me to a bed, and abused me. "The child I'm carrying is Gary's!" Her mother, meanwhile, was sobbing uncontrollably. "Those two monsters have ruined my daughter's life. They deserve the death penalty!" No sooner had she spoken than a chorus of curses against my husband and me erupted from the gallery. "That scum is utterly brazen. He didn't even show up for the hearing! He must be punished sever

When a gang of men posing as death-row escapees dragged me into the alley, my girlfriend and my best friend fell into a familiar rhythm and started playing freeze tag. I struggled ten feet away, desperate. They stood at the mouth of the alley without moving an inch. After I was finally rescued, Michael Sykes bounced up to me, grinning. "Brad, you're a champ. You actually managed a few syllables. A couple more scares like this, and you'll be talking again in no time." As he said it, he shot Diane Raynor a look, and the two of them fought to keep straight faces. I didn't need to look to know they'd already sent a video of me falling apart to the family group chat.
