Two hefty men were standing behind her, their faces grim and serious. She looked at Daisy, and she smiled, a small smile that did not reach her eyes. She walked to Daisy. She greeted Daisy as if they were old friends, as if they had known each other for years. But Daisy could swear that she had never met this woman in her life.

It’s not romantic, girl—it’s ruin.” Evelyn’s throat tightened. “I don’t love him.”

His jaw was tight, his eyes narrow as he watched the woman closely, clearly trying to assess her in the span of a few seconds. “You say you know the way out?” Ronan’s voice was tight, his skepticism clear. “How do we know we’re not walking into another trap?” The woman stepped further into the dimly lit room, the shadows casting her face in a way that made it difficult to read her emotions. She wore all black, her clothes blending into the darkness as if she belonged here like she was part of this world we were trying so hard to escape.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, so all these years, his deal wasn't even about the throne, it was just getting revenge and wanting Xander to suffer. Once again the thought came. It could have been him. “Well, since you don't want the throne, I have the perfect candidate," the man said and I leaned against the small opening in the door to see if I could get a closer look. The woman was dressed in all black. Her gown was long and touching the floor and she had long black hair that was tied up in a bun. The man had his back to me so I couldn't see his face. I leaned even closer, breath held as I squinted my eyes to see him and then finally he turned and my breath caught in my throat, eye

Three of them. Two men and one woman all dressed in black. They were not flashy, not loud and they looked controlled and disciplined. The woman stood in the center, she’s in her mid forties and her eyes were sharp with a composed expression. She did not scan the room like someone looking for approval. She observed like someone measuring value. “That’s her,” Lucas said quietly. “Helena Blackthorne.” So that was her name. Helena Blackthorne She did not rush and she did not smile widely, she simply walked forward as if the room already belonged to her.

It was a bright sunny afternoon. A car stopped in front of a building,its driver side open and a lady in her early twenties stepped out. She looks so beautiful in her simple yet elegant outfit. She wore a black, knee-high fitted gown,silver heels and a bag to match. Her simple necklace looks tiny but clearly expensive. Everything speaks of luxury.

“I’ve been digging into the voice recordings from the blackmailer.” That got my attention fast. “And?” “I managed to clean up the audio. It’s clearer now.” “And?” “It’s a woman.” I blinked. “What?” “It’s a woman’s voice, Louis. The blackmailer… it’s not a man.” My heart skipped. A woman? That changed everything. My thoughts immediately raced who could it be? Who had a grudge strong enough to ruin me from the shadows? Someone close? Someone I trusted? Suddenly, my entire world felt even more fragile than before.

Her sharp, black nails gleamed menacingly. I stared in disbelief as the woman's voice rang out, filled with madness. "Oh, Julius, Julius. If I can't have you, then all the women who get close to you die," she proclaimed, her pitch-black eyes boring into me. "Who is this woman in your house? A mortal? You choose her over me?"

The champagne glass slipped from Jack Knight’s hand and shattered across the ballroom floor. The sound cut through the music. Conversations died instantly.
