Alina’s scream echoed through the long marble hallway of the Blackwood mansion, her voice sharp with fury and desperation. “Get your hands off me!” she shouted, twisting in the grip of the guards dragging her out of the room she had locked herself in for three days. “Do you know who the fuck my husband is? He won’t let you go if he finds your hands on me!”
Her hair, tangled and wild, fell around her shoulders as she struggled. The guards looked uneasy, none of them wanted trouble with the woman Lucian Blackwood once called his own, but Darius Evergreen stood at the base of the grand staircase, watching the scene unfold with tired, cold eyes.
He sighed heavily, the sound laced with irritation and something else…disappointment. “You are not married to Lucian,” he said flatly, crossing his arms. “The marriage didn’t happen.”
Alina’s chest rose and fell sharply as she turned to him, her voice breaking with rage. “And whose fault is that?”
Her words hit him harder than he showed, but Darius merely rolled his eyes as if she were a child throwing a tantrum. “Enough of this nonsense. You are coming with us to Ravienne. You’ve been locked up in this room for three days, sulking, refusing to accept reality. That ends now.”
“I’m not going anywhere with you!” Alina spat back, jerking free from one guard’s hold. “You can’t force me. I’m an adult, I make my own decisions.”
Darius’s jaw tightened. “Your age has nothing to do with anything,” he said firmly, each word deliberate and heavy. “You will come with me because it’s for your own good and safety.”
“Safety?” she laughed bitterly, shaking her head. “I’ve been safe my entire life without you. I didn’t need you to keep me safe before, and I won’t start now. I’m not dropping my life or my business just because you suddenly decided to play father.”
The sting in her tone drew Luna forward, her soft voice trembling as she spoke. “Alina, please…your father isn’t trying to hurt you. We only want what’s best for you. We’ve already lost so much time—”
But Alina cut her off sharply. “Then maybe you should’ve stayed gone! Because all you’ve done since showing up is ruin everything!”
Luna’s expression broke. Her lips parted as if to respond, but the pain in her eyes silenced her.
Darius stepped closer, his patience thinning. “You will come with us,” he repeated, his voice low now, colder. “You will come home and you will obey. It’s time you stopped this childish rebellion.”

Alina glared up at him, her chest heaving. “Childish rebellion? You think wanting to live my life, my way, rebellion? I have built everything I have with my own hands. You don’t get to walk in after all these years and tell me what to do.”
Her words struck like daggers, but Darius refused to flinch. His tone turned sharp. “You will come back because you are my daughter. And you will fulfill the promise made years ago. You will marry the man you were betrothed to.”

There on the screen was Lucian, his face bloodied and lifeless, as they zipped him into a body bag.
“No!” I screamed, overwhelmed with agony.
I had spent my whole life hating him, pushing him away, and yet… he died trying to save me.
He had done everything for me, even signing over his entire empire to prove his love. And what did I do?
I handed it over to Adrian.
Adrian, who now stood beside Seraphina, looking at me with cold, indifferent eyes. Like I was a stranger. Like he had never known me at all.
“Why are you doing this, Adrian?” I cried, my voice breaking. “I gave you everything!” Desperation clawed at my chest. “Why save me from drowning if you hated me this much?!” I screamed, summoning the last of my strength.
A cruel laugh escaped his lips, “You think I saved you? Lucian was the one who saved you that day, not me.”
My breath hitched.
“He was such a coward,” Adrian said with a smirk. “Didn’t even stick around for you to wake up, so I had to swoop in.”
I stared at him, feeling my world tilt as memories from that day, six years ago, flooded back.
Lucian.
It was Lucian who had pulled me out of the water when Seraphina and her friends thought it would be funny to push me into the pool, knowing fully well that I couldn’t swim.
I remembered catching a glimpse of a retreating back, but when I woke up, it was Adrian sitting by my bedside. I had always thought it was him all along.
But it had been Lucian.
A sob caught in my throat, my chest tightening.
“It was Lucian,” I whispered, my voice empty. “It’s always been Lucian.”
Memories crashed over me, memories I had been too blind and stubborn to acknowledge.
Whenever I found myself in trouble, Lucian was always there. Even when I pushed him away, yelled at him, and cursed him.
Ì had made a terrible mistake.
Lost in my swirling state of regret and despair, a sharp, acrid scent suddenly hit my nose.
Gasoline.

Adrian stood a few feet away, pouring gasoline onto the floor, the liquid pooling in thick, dark puddles around me.
My blood ran cold.
“No… please don’t.” I pleaded, trying to move, trying to stand, but my body wouldn’t cooperate. I felt so weak. I was already losing blood from the stab wound in my stomach, my vision blurring at the edges.
“You’ve taken everything from me.” I said weakly, my voice barely a whisper as I turned to Seraphina. “Aren’t you satisfied?”
She met my gaze with a wicked grin.
“No.”
My breath caught in my throat.
“I’ll only be satisfied when you no longer exist in this world.” She said, flicking a lighter on.
The tiny flame danced in her hand, bright and hungry, merciless.
