Sophia stood quietly in her room, staring at the lavender dress on the bed. It was beautiful, a delicate shade of purple that seemed to shimmer in the light. She hadn’t expected Mrs. Logan to give her something so elegant. But then again, Mrs. Logan had always treated her kindly. It was a rare kindness that Sophia didn’t quite know how to accept. She slowly changed into the dress, adjusting the fabric as she stood before the mirror. Her heart felt heavy. The past few days had been difficult, especially after learning the truth about Kael. She couldn’t shake the image of him with another woman, and the anger still burned inside her. They weren’t officially together, but the betrayal still stung. Just as she was about to finish adjusting the dress, she heard voices from downstairs. Mrs. Logan and Kael were talking. Sophia hesitated for a moment, unsure if she was ready to face him. But she couldn’t stay cooped up in her room forever. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door and walk

The room was quiet. The air between Sophia and Kael felt heavy, like something was about to break. Kael sat in a chair, looking out the window, his face full of sadness. Sophia stood by the door, unsure of what to say or do. She had been avoiding him ever since the night they fought. Every time she saw him, her heart hurt. She knew he had made a mistake. But still, she couldn’t forget how he hurt her. He cheated on her. They were not officially together, but she still felt betrayed. She had trusted him, and he broke that trust. She couldn’t just let it go. But, there was something in Kael’s eyes today. Something that made her think he was sorry. Kael finally turned around and saw her standing there, her arms crossed over her chest. He took a deep breath and walked toward her slowly. "Sophia," he started, his voice low and shaky. "Can we talk?" Sophia didn’t say anything. She just stared at him, unsure of what he wanted. Kael looked down at his hands, then back up at her. “I

Kael hovered over her, his body pressing between her thighs as he laid her down. His hands roamed over her sides, steady, firm. He wasn’t rushing, wasn’t forcing—just taking his time, feeling the heat of her skin through her clothes. His lips found her neck, moving slowly, leaving warm, lingering kisses. A soft sigh escaped her lips before she even realized it. His fingers reached the buttons of her shirt, undoing them one at a time, teasing her with each small movement. Sophia’s chest rose and fell unevenly. Her fingers curled into the sheets, her breathing shaky. But just as his fingers reached the last button, she gasped, shaking her head. "Stop, Kael," she whispered, her voice barely holding steady. "I can't… I can't hold this... please." But Kael wasn’t listening. Or maybe he just didn’t want to. Instead of answering, he tilted her chin up and kissed her deeply. His lips captured hers, swallowing any words she might have said. His tongue brushed against hers, slow and deep, d

The room was filled with heat, the air thick with something neither of them could control. Kael’s weight pressed against Sophia, his lips trailing a slow path down her jaw, his fingers teasing the bare skin beneath him. His touch sent waves of warmth through her, making her feel lightheaded, lost in him. "Kael…" she whispered, her voice shaky. He smirked against her skin, his breath hot. "Say it again," he murmured. "Just like that." Her lips parted, but before she could repeat his name, the door suddenly creaked open. A sharp gasp echoed in the room. "Mr. Kael—I—I’m sorry!" Sophia’s body tensed. Kael cursed under his breath, his jaw clenching as he turned toward the doorway. A maid stood frozen, her face pale, her hands trembling as she gripped the front of her uniform. Her wide eyes darted between them, clearly panicked. Kael exhaled slowly, his patience wearing thin. "What is it?" His voice was low, laced with irritation. Sophia barely had time to process what was happeni

Kael stepped into his private study, shutting the door behind him before putting the phone to his ear. “Dawson,” he said flatly. A hesitant chuckle came from the other end. “Kael. Didn’t expect you to pick up so fast.” Kael leaned against his desk, fingers drumming against the polished wood. “Didn’t expect to hear your name connected to corporate sabotage either, yet here we are.” A brief pause. Then Dawson sighed. “So you’ve heard.” Kael’s jaw tightened. “I don’t have time for games, Dawson. Tell me why your credentials were used to leak internal documents.” “I—” Dawson hesitated, his voice quieter now. “Look, it’s not what you think.” Kael’s grip on the phone tightened. “Then explain.” “I was set up,” Dawson said quickly. “I swear, I didn’t do this. Someone got into my system, used my access to make it look like I was the one behind it.” Kael’s eyes darkened. “And I’m supposed to believe that?” “It’s the truth!” Dawson’s voice was strained, a mix of frustration and fear. “
