Chapter 1:The last dance

I was sitting in front of the cracked mirror in the dressing room, fixing my lipstick when Nina, one of the girls, popped her head inside.“Liora,” she said, chewing her gum like always. “Madam wants to see you. Now.”I blinked at her. “Madam?” I asked, confused. “Why? I’m up in twenty minutes. This is my solo. Biggest night of the year, remember?”She just shrugged. “Don’t ask me. She said it’s urgent.” Then she walked away, swinging her hips like she was already on stage.My heart gave a nervous jump. Madam never called me before a performance, especially not tonight. I had worked for months to get this solo. A full house of hockey players who’d booked the entire floor just to watch me dance. If I were lucky, such tips could cover my rent for a whole year.With a sigh and smoothing my sequined bra, I left out of the dressing room and proceeded toward Madam's office at the end of the hallway.Madam looked up from her desk when I stepped inside. Her face softened before that familiar

Chapter 2:The lost Heiress

Liora’s POVI leaned against my doorframe, arms crossed, staring at the old man like he’d just crawled out of a time machine. “Okay… you know my full name. Great trick. Now, who the hell are you, and why are you waiting in front of my house like some creep?”The man didn’t flinch. His voice was calm, polite, annoyingly steady. “Miss Liora, perhaps we should sit. This is… a rather long conversation.”I raised an eyebrow. “Oh, of course. I always invite strange men in suits into my apartment at night. Sounds safe.”He actually smiled, which made me more suspicious. Nevertheless, I unlocked my door since I had a gut feeling he wasn't coming to rob or kill me. "All right, but just so you know, I'm a very good fighter , and if you try anything funny, I won't think twice about breaking your nose." I kicked off my shoes, turned on the lights, and gestured toward my couch inside. "Take a seat. Avoid touching anything that is bright. Hold on, I don't have anything bright.”As he made himself c

Chapter 3:The unlikely reunion

Liora’s POVMy alarm rang before the sun came up, waking me from my hard earned sleep. I lay there for a bit, looking up, thinking if last night was just some weird dream. A butler at my place telling me I was part of the richest families out there? Yeah, right. But those pictures, the birth certificate, and how Elias talked—it seemed too true to just think of as some horrible mistake or well thought of prank. I got out of bed, headed to my bathroom to brush my teeth, and was spitting out water when the doorbell rang. “Great. I knew who would come by so early.” I said to myself as I dragged my feet to the answer the door. When I swung the door open, Elias was there. He looked just like he did last night—sharp suit, looking like he just stepped out of a magazine for sugar-daddies. In contrast, I was a mess, like I'd battled against a rhinoceros, my hair disheveled like I just got exorcised. "You're here early," I noted, leaning against the door. "Is there some rich guy's secr

Chapter 4:The confession

Liora’s POVAs soon as I said, "You." Selene's eyes widened. "You...know him?" Selene continued to dart her eyes from me directly to Darius. A little chuckle left my lips, accompanied by a dismissive gesture, and sputtered, "I thought I was wrong, thinking I saw Mr. Darius Knight in person. The Darius Knight?” Within a second, Darius’s lips curved out in a smile. " In flesh and blood," he chuckled. The totally oblivious, Selene wore a wide smile: "Meet Darius, the man I'm going to marry!" Taking my hand, she gave it a squeeze, looking down at our held hands as she moved them hesitantly toward Darius. "This here is Darius. My sister, Liora." Something about the word 'sister' pierced through my heart, and I almost choked. Darius put his hand out for a handshake, but I didn’t notice till Selene gave me a gentle nudge. “Hello…I’m Liora,” I smiled sheepishly as I took his hand. The contact sent a jolt through me. "I'm thrilled Selene finally found you," Darius smiled br

Chapter 5

Liora - POV"I have to confess," I could barely manage to whisper. Selene leaned in, curiosity written all over face. "What is it?" As my chest tightened, I inhaled deeply. "You know I am a stripper." Her face remained the same, so I continued. "Last night , I was going to do a private show. Oh boy, I was excited-had some bills due this week-and then my boss called. She apparently found another deal, and actually, a bigger one. One where some guy wants to send off a grand part of his life before he gets hitched." Dry throat, but I continued: "I went. I danced. He gave me a lot more than I've ever seen. And I.... I spend the night with him." Selene's eyes widened, then cued her shock to turn into fear. "Liora, what do you mean?" My stomach was burning and so I spat the truth: "The man....was Darius." A thick blanket of silence fell over the room. Then Selene's chair screeched back as she giggled. "Oh,common stop joking.” "I wish I was," I said softly. She slammed he

Chapter 6: Going for a guilt trip

Liora’s- Pov I keenly turned around with bright eyes. Did I think out loud? I felt a strong Hane firmly grip my wrist from where I crouched. I curiously turned around to see that it was nobody but Darius, the shining knight. I shrugged my shoulder in disgust, freeing myself from his grasp. “What? Do you want another one night stand? Maybe I should throw in a free lap dance this time. Wouldn’t that make you feel better or are you still in the mood for some bachelorhood fun?” I grunted while glaring him from head to toe. “Despicable man,” I muttered under my breathe and began to leave. “You will do no such thing, Liora,” he said with a bold tone. I halted my movement and turned around in anger. Did I hear him right? My guilt had turned into anger as soon as I set eyes on his face. I pierced a sharp glance at his grey colored eyes. “Selene doesn’t need to know, this should stay between us. As long we’re the only one who knows then there’s no problem,” he said with a frown

Chapter 7 : Emotional Decision

Liora’s pov I immediately got up from where I sat and ran to one of the servants with a look of discomfort on her face. “What’s going on? Why do you look so worried and where’s Selene?” I quizzed obscurely. “Yes,” she whispered with a gloomy tone in order not to upset the guests. “Ok, calm down. I’ll go search for her. Fix your face, you’re literally telling everyone there’s fire on the mountain.” I shook my head and left the building to search for Selene. Where could she have gone? My heart had began to pound to the thought of Selene harming herself. Her blood will be on my head if she goes through with suicide. What have I done? I should’ve told her the truth regardless of whatever lie Darius was cooking. I had only entered into her life yesterday and today she’s thinking of taking that life and it’s all my fault. Oh moon goddess, direct me to where Selene might be. I overheard whispers at the backyard of the building and decided to eavesdrop on the certain perso

Chapter 8: A better tomorrow

Liora’s povI jolted up from bed followed by a loud yawn. Moving my hands from right to left trying to open the door to my bathroom so I could take a shower and go to the strip club.With my eyes closed, my muscle memory was supposed to have detected that the door wasn’t here anymore. But since when do bathroom doors disappear from their original position or have they been removed because I didn’t fully last months rest. I finally opened my weary eyes. My vision was fixated on the wall before me. I wasn’t a morning person so I’m always like this every morning. Nevertheless, I have to prepare and go get today’s pay. If I’m correct, today’s Monday and the end of the month. Joe must’ve gotten his salary and is on his way to the club. I have to quickly get ready so I’d be the one to catch his eyes. I turned around and was about to scream when I realized this wasn’t my house. It all came to me suddenly. I had agreed to stay in Selene’s mansion for the meantime. No wonder I didn’t wake

chapter 9:Compliments like these.....

Liora’s pov The rays of the sun burst through my window and laid on the tiles in my room. It’s another day to be grateful to the moon goddess for turning my life around. I suddenly feel energetic anytime I wake up in the morning, a great evidence of good living. It’s been exactly three days since I decided to stay in this palace.Perhaps it’s not so bad here. I simply wake up, workout, go to work and repeat. Kind of boring because it’s really not my kind of work. After my morning workout I left for ‘the Blackwoods’ that’s the name of the hotel I’m managing. Managing is a funny word because It doesn’t even feel like I work here. I kind of feel like a customer who checks in the morning and checks out at night because of the way my supposed employees ignore me.“Good morning, Miss Liora, you’re looking as beautiful as you were yesterday?” Rennet, the receptionist complimented with while wearing a sly smirk on her face.That’s rare, they usually ignore my entire existence like I’m a wa

Let's switch things up a little

Liora’s pov“About?” I asked with a curious expression.“You see… my mother has been released but she’s currently staying at one of our houses in Canada. Once the media calms down, she’ll return buts that’s not really the problem right now. My mum has seen the recent article about you, the missing daughter of the Blackwood’s was a stripper,” Selene lets out a deep sigh and continues. “And frankly, she’s not happy about it. She’s been calling and texting me nonstop.”“Maybe I don’t belong here after all,” I let out a nervous laugh. “Once I’m gone she wouldn’t need to worry about me ruining the family’s name anymore.”Selene grabbed me by my wrist as I was about to leave. “What are you saying, Liora? You’re as important to this family as I am. I love you and she’ll also learn to love you. She might speak like this because she hasn’t met you. You’re a sweet person that wouldn’t even harm a fly.”You’re speaking so highly of me because you haven’t the slightest idea what I’ve done behind
