Sophia’s POV I am the sole heiress of Allura—one of the most prestigious multinational jewelry empires in the world. My life is more extravagant than a princess’s. And up until now, I’ve always been grateful to my parents for the privileges they’ve bestowed upon me. I never had to fight for anything. I never had to beg. Everything I wanted was handed to me—on a silver, diamond-encrusted platter. Everything… except Klaus Blackwood. The more I chased him, the farther away he slipped from my grasp. Like smoke. Like wind. Untouchable. My informant told me he had brought home a girl. A girl. Not just anyone—Orion’s younger sister. And she was living with him. In his house. In the same room. The news rattled me. It felt like the floor shifted beneath my feet. I was running out of time.
