He returned, not a minute later, wearing nothing but black tracksuit bottoms, a towel draped across his bare shoulder. His black hair covered his forehead, trickling droplets of water on his exposed skin. The darkness did nothing to conceal the deep contours and planes of his pecs and abs. Faint white lines and dark ink painted his olive skin. His hip bone forming the deep V line seemed to shine starkly against the low light as his pants hung low. I gulped down the lump in my throat. “Whose wedding?” My voice sounded small and pathetic even to my own ears.

"Thanks, Mrs Claire. I appreciate you." After ending the call, Sarah let out a long breath. She hadn’t told Claire about the marriage contract. She wasn’t ready to deal with that conversation yet. She sat in silence. Everything was still so surreal. She needed to clear her mind. And there was something nagging at her. Elliott. Something about him had seemed powerful. He wasn’t just some ordinary man. Her instincts screamed that she had just signed a contract with someone important. She reached for her laptop and opened the browser. With a few quick taps, she typed in his full name into the search bar: Elliott Remington.

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the stone pathway was covered in a thick layer of moss. Next door, where my childhood home had once been, was now a bar. From inside, a singer strummed their guitar, their voice drifting through the evening air: "…At the moments that matter most, I finally see it clear, “Your hesitation, “Leaving me to wander alone, “Sober in the midst of dying, “Realizing you were always two steps ahead of me…" My fingers tightened around the keys. The sharp edges dug into my palm, cutting deep.

The roots that held the guide shuddered, their anchors in the architecture loosening as the architecture itself began to fail. "No." The Spirit's voice was thunder now, real thunder, the sound of a law being violated. "That is not permitted. The balance must hold. The exchange must be made. One stays. One goes. That is the covenant." "Then make a new covenant," Eliana said, and she struck the bridge again. The stone shattered.

Who had found in the idea of coexistence not a compromise but a conviction — something he held the way other people held their oldest certainties, quietly and without needing it confirmed. He told him about the alliance. The human official who had been willing to meet him — a lord named Aldren Daven, Dravon said, and paused there for a moment with something in his expression that acknowledged the weight of that name now that Aldric knew whose daughter Aldren Daven had — and the years of careful work that had made the agreement possible. He told it without bitterness. Not because the bitterness wasn't there but because it had been a long time and Caevan had not been a bitter man and speaking

Each keystroke should feel like victory, yet guilt creeps in. “You’re working late.” Matteo’s voice interrupts my concentration as he enters the study. “Creating a life story takes time.” My fingers pause over the keyboard. “How does one explain three years of secret marriage to someone with no memory?” “Carefully,” he replies as he settles into the leather chair across from my desk. “Boss, you sure about this? The woman’s been through hell.” “Her brother put me through worse. Nico destroyed everything I built, turned my own allies against me, and left me for dead in that hospital. Now fate delivers his most precious possession into my hands.”
