"I'll go into the kitchen to grab a few more glasses and snacks..." I started to say, but Jade linked her arm with mine and blurted out, "I'm coming with you." Turning to face her as soon as we were in the kitchen, I asked, "What's wrong? What have you done?" "Nothing, I just thought I'd help you out in the kitchen." "Jade, I'm just grabbing a few extra wine glasses. I'm not bringing the entire kitchen into the living room with me." "I know that. I just want to spend some alone time with my best friend." "For some reason, I don't believe that. What are you not telling me?" "N-n-nothing!" She stuttered. "What trouble have you caused?" I asked, staring deeply into her eyes. "I asked Akiyo to join us," she muttered, her voice barely audible as she nervously nibbled on her bottom lip. "You invited her... here... tonight?" I asked, letting out a heavy, frustrated sigh. "Yes, and Jimin's girlfriend as well. They'll be arriving in a few minutes." "Does Jimin even know about this?" I asked, massaging my temple slowly, trying to ease the growing tension. "No, it was an impulsive decision I made while you left me alone in the kitchen to answer the front door." "Why would you invite them here when you know you can't stand talking to Akiyo and can barely tolerate being around Nara?" "I wanted to make an effort to get along with Akiyo and Nara because I know how much they mean to you and Jimin," she replied, her smile weak but genuine. "Did you also invite Brad to join us?" "His name is Bryan, not Brad, and yes, I invited him too." "Why do you insist on putting me through this torture? Are you secretly trying to tell me that you hate me?" I grumbled, feeling my blood pressure rise at the mere mention of her cowardly ass boyfriend's name.

Just as Harper had begun to imagine a quiet life with Yanpu-a life of warmth, safety, and the simple joy of waking up without fear-fate demanded something else. She had only just started to feel the comfort of belonging, the fragile threads of trust weaving between herself and those she had let into her heart. But the world rarely waits for peace to take root. The idea of traveling across the planet had never crossed her mind. To step foot in enemy territory, with a child clinging to her side and an outlaw shadowing her steps, felt almost like stepping into a nightmare. And yet, there was no time left to hesitate. Hyde, the ex-serviceman with a wounded past, was running out of time. The cure for his condition lay in the hands of the Queen of Krahagh-an opposing nation whose name alone stirred distrust and fear. Yanpu's rare abilities were the key, and Harper knew that leaving was the only choice. But the road ahead was more than a journey across hostile lands-it was a test of everything they had begun to build together. Bonds would be stretched, tested, and perhaps even broken. Friendships would be forged in the crucible of shared danger, and loyalties would be challenged by the weight of sacrifice. What trials will they face on the path to Krahagh's capital? And when the dust settles, will the ties between them be strong enough to endure the cost of survival?

People call me a mistress like it's supposed to shame me. Like I didn't walk into this with my eyes wide open. Let me make one thing clear: I know exactly who I am. I'm not the wife, I'm not the dream, I'm not the forever. I'm the escape. The secret. The silk-draped complication who only answers when he texts first. And you know what? I'm good with that. Because I'm not here for love - I'm here for leverage. He buys me diamonds to hush the guilt. Rents me penthouses to keep me hidden. Flies me to Paris to forget the suburbs. And every time he swears he's going to leave her, I just smile and let him believe I care. I don't. I care about the money. The power. The freedom I carved from his lies. They say mistresses always end up alone. But I'm not chasing a fairytale. I'm building an empire - one gift, one secret, one bank transfer at a time. And when it all blows up - and it will - I'll still be standing. Wealthy. Untouched. Unapologetic.
