Author Pov“What’s going on here?”Aria’s voice cut through the tension and she stepped forward, a deep frown visible on her face.Nora turned to her slowly, one brow arched in amusement.“Well, well… the bodyguard has arrived.” She let out a fake laugh. “Relax, Aria. We’re just talking to your little friend.”Her minions giggled behind her, but Aria’s glare didn’t waver.“Looks more like you’re trying to pick on someone just because you’re bored!”One of Nora’s minions scoffed. “We just wanted to ask her about the guy picking her up in that shiny car yesterday.”Another chimed in with a mocking pout. “Didn’t know our little Rosa had such high-profile connections.”Rosa clutched her notebook tighter, shrinking under their stares, but Aria stood tall. “And what if she does? It’s none of your business.”Nora frowned at her bravery. “Stay out of this!” she warned, stepping a little closer.But Aria didn’t budge. “You stay away from her! Mind your own business!” she snapped back.Nora’s e

|| Author POV ||Killian stood in the study room of his mansion, his broad figure silhouetted by the cold, icy wind brushing against the window as he gazed at the night sky. His deep voice filled the room.“Has the investigation made any progress?” he asked, his voice low but filled with quiet command.The earpiece cracked a voice out. “We’ve gone over every file, every piece of evidence. There’s nothing to indicate what happened. It’s as if the trail’s been wiped clean.”Killian’s eyes narrowed and his mind replayed the events from years ago, the case that had never been solved, someone who had disappeared without a trace.“It’s been years, and we’re still in the dark.” Killian muttered under his breath, his frustration mounting.“Someone’s covering their tracks. Whoever’s behind this is far too careful, and they’ve managed to erase everything. But there’s something we’re missing. We just haven’t found it yet.” The person on the other end spoke carefully, sensing the tension in Killi

|| Author POV ||Rosa sat quietly, her gaze drifting across the classroom filled with laughter and chatter. Her eyes were gloomy, lost.Killian hadn’t come home last night either.Not a single trace of him in the mansion.Where could he possibly be? He’s always busy.Rosa pulled in a breath. The emptiness inside her grew as she glanced around at the smiling couples in her classroom. They looked so full, so loved.“Rosa...!”Aria’s cheerful voice snapped her out of the spiral. Rosa blinked and turned to look at her.Aria grinned and placed a small envelope on the desk. A delicate peach-colored letter with a silver seal.“What is it?” Rosa asked, her voice soft as a feather.She looked at Aria, who was smiling wide. “Invitation card.” Aria said cheerfully, “My birthday invitation. You’re the first one to receive it.”Rosa blinked, lips parting slightly in surprise. “Oh.”She reached for the small envelope, her fingers brushed over the soft colors and tiny stars decorating the edges. It

|| Author POV ||“Are you going to ride me-?”Killian’s brows twitched, eyes darkening slightly at her innocent blunder.“…to her home?” Rosa added softly, clueless about the double meaning in her words.Killian swallowed, his thoughts spiraling into something dangerous before he forced them back into submission.His fists clenched at his sides as he silently gazed at her.Her voice and those filthy words refused to leave his mind. They started echoing in his head.Did she even realize what kind of sentence she’d just let slip?Her innocence filled face didn’t change, still confused, as if she hadn’t even realized what she’d said.That only made it worse.More dangerous.More tempting.Killian tore his gaze away with tight jaw. She had no idea what she was doing to him.Innocent, he thought.So damn innocent!He sharply breathed through his nose. “That’s right. Get in the car!” he commanded.Rosa, unaware of the storm behind his silence, glanced at him with quiet worry.Won’t he feel c

|| Author POV ||Rosa reached her room. Lilia had treated her wound but the pain in her chest didn’t subside. She stood in front of the mirror and stared at the dried mud on her face.She mentally palmed her face, how embarrassing. How humiliating!But the memory of his eyes on her and his touch… it all came rushing back. The way his fingers had brushed her skin like she was something his.He was her professor. Right?He’d taken responsibility for her just because she had nowhere to go… that’s all it was.And yet…He didn’t act like any professor should.That night…That night he held her so close it felt like her heart would break.As if they weren’t professor and student. As if they were something more.He acted like he was jealous. She remembered the heat in his eyes. The way his jaw clenched.Rosa shook off her thoughts and looked into the mirror. She gasped the moment her eyes caught her reflection, her cheeks were flushed red. She needed to wash her face, she told herself.But s
