Ink slowly lifted his glass, the crystal catching the chandelier’s warm light as it shimmered softly across the dining table, his composed, authoritative presence reflecting quiet command.

“Let us all raise a toast,” Ink said calmly, his voice smooth yet resonant enough to settle over the table like gentle authority.

They followed, lifting their glasses in synchronized grace, the soft clinking of crystal almost musical beneath the grand silence of the estate.

His gaze then shifted toward Guiven

    “That’s another common symptom,” she explained. “During an episode, the patient can experience flashbacks or emotional fragments from the past. They may relive moments tied to the trauma without realizing where they are.”Calvin’s jaw tightened.“So you’re saying,” he said slowly, “something at that photoshoot triggered her past.”“Yes.”Julia’s voice remained calm but firm.“The camera flash, the pressure, the environment any of those could have acted as a trigger. When that happens, the mind responds with panic, and the body follows.”A heavy silence settled in the room.Calvin’s hand slowly curled into a fist at his side as the weight of her words sank in.“And if this happens again?” he asked quietly.Julia looked directly at him.“Then she will need support, patience and someone who understands what she’s going through.”Calvin’s gaze slowly shifted toward Katie, his expression darkening with a mixture of disbelief and restrained frustration.“Do you really not know about this?”

    For the past two days, Cleopatra had been completely absorbed in preparations for her very first shoot.Now she sat quietly in the styling chair, her posture elegant yet relaxed. The soft lights of the studio shimmered against the large mirrors, reflecting the careful work already done. Pheebs had finished her makeup not long ago, leaving Cleopatra’s features refined and luminous, every detail perfectly accentuated.Behind her, Jovita finished arranging the last strands of Cleopatra’s hair with practiced precision, her movements swift yet delicate until everything fell perfectly into place.Across the room, the photographer stepped forward, lifting his camera and adjusting the lens as he studied Cleopatra through the frame.A moment later, Jovita stepped back, her eyes lighting up with satisfaction as she admired her work.“All done,” she announced warmly. “You’re looking more stunning than ever.”Cleopatra’s lips curved into a soft smile at the compliment.“Thanks, Jovita,” she repli

    At those words, Calvin’s expression darkened slightly. His brows drew together as he stepped forward.“Doctor,” he said slowly, his voice firm, “what do you mean by that? Please explain.”The doctor adjusted his glasses.“Sir, the allergic reaction didn’t come from the coffee itself. It came from the cream mixed in it. If Miss Guinevere drinks coffee regularly, she should be aware of her sensitivity to dairy. It’s possible she simply made a mistake.”“With all due respect,” Guinevere snapped, her voice sharp despite her weakened state, “are you trying to say I’m lying? I truly did not know I had such an allergy.”Before the doctor could respond, the door suddenly burst open.“My baby! What happened?!”Emilia rushed into the room in a panic, her heels clicking hurriedly against the floor as she hurried toward the bed.She grabbed Guinevere’s hand, her face filled with worry.Calvin straightened slightly and greeted her politely.“Hello, Mrs. Emilia.”He paused for a moment before addin

    Cleopatra blinked in confusion, glancing around the quiet office again.“We aren’t working in this building anymore. We’ve been transferred to the main building.”“Oh… really?” she said slowly. “No wonder Jovita and Pheebs aren’t here.”“Yeah!” Joss laughed, stepping further into the room. “They’re already at our new office. The company hired a completely new team to take over the work here.”His excitement bubbled over as she waved his hand.“Hurry up, come on! Let’s go. I can’t wait to be in the main building!”Cleopatra slowly pushed herself up from the chair, still processing the sudden news as she followed Joss out of the quiet office.Elsewhere, far from the company’s towering headquarters, Guinevere and Calvin sat across from each other in a quiet café.Two cups of freshly brewed coffee rested between them as the soft aroma filled the air. The city bustled outside, yet inside the café, a calm silence settled around them.Guinevere lifted her cup gently, the faint aroma of coffe

    Cleopatra’s heart skipped. She knew that look. The way his lashes lowered slightly. The way his breath grew slower as if he was holding himself in check. But she shook her head suddenly and shifted back, a soft but firm dodge before his lips could touch hers. “Don’t,” she said gently. Calvin paused. His brows knitted slightly, not in irritation but in concern. “I took my medication earlier,” she explained, fingers lightly touching the edge of her sleeve. “I don’t want you catching anything from me.” Silence settled, thick with unspoken warmth. Then Calvin exhaled slowly, almost helplessly amused by her stubborn kindness. His hand slid from her neck to her cheek instead, thumb tracing a slow, tender arc across her skin. “You worry too much about me,” he said. “It’s because I care,” she replied softly. His forehead rested lightly against hers not kissing, just sharing breath, closeness, the quiet pulse of affection. “If caring means I cannot kiss you now,” he whispered, voi

    He unbuttoned the last button of his shirt, the fabric sliding open to reveal a faint glimpse of his chest and the defined lines of his abdomen. His gaze drifted toward her wardrobe, surprise flickering briefly in his eyes.“Can I use your towel?” he asked calmly.“Uh… yes, sure,” Cleopatra stammered softly.A faint, almost teasing smirk touched his lips before he walked to pick up the towel and headed into the bathroom.Moments later, the sound of running water faded.The bathroom door opened.Calvin stepped out, a towel loosely tied around his waist, droplets of water tracing slow paths across his skin.His gaze fell on Cleopatra.She was already asleep on the bed.Beside her, a neatly folded, oversized unisex T-shirt rested on the table.Slowly, he walked closer and crouched beside her, his fingers lifting gently to brush against her face in a tender, almost possessive caress.“So you couldn’t wait for me to return,” he murmured softly.A faint, indulgent smile curved his lips as h

    Cleopatra dragged herself across the rain-soaked earth, mud and water clawing at her as her freezing clothes clung to her skin. Each movement tore a gasp from her throat, exhaustion crushing her with every inch she gained.She bit back the urge to cry out, forcing herself forward through sheer will

    “Why am I tied up? Why can’t I see anything? How do I get this blindfold off? Where… where the hell am I?” Cleopatra’s voice cracked, raw and ragged, her panic clawing its way up her throat. Darkness pressed in from every side, her hands struggled uselessly against the bindings, and her heart raced

    The elders drifted away toward Orion’s table, leaving the children to their own devices, the murmurs of the party fading into a distant hum. Anthony and Guinevere exchanged a brief glance, the space around them suddenly charged with unspoken words.“I work with Hawk actually, I’m one of the directo

    Pheebs’ soft laughter chimed through the room as she scrolled on her phone, her smile bright and smug.“Didn’t I tell you?” she said sweetly, tilting the screen toward them. “The internet is buzzing with Sabrina and Xander’s photos.
