This is not a continuation, but a standalone story born from the darkness of "Beneath His Shadow." A tale where legacy is control, affection is punishment, and freedom is the greatest illusion of all.
Years have passed, their children have grown, and the Vyner mansion stands unchanged. To the world, the Vyner heirs seem free, independent, powerful, choosing their own paths. But behind the cold marble walls, their every step, every desire, every decision is still decided by their father. Even when they resist, even when they dream of escape, the blood that binds them pulls them back to the same truth-they are Vyner, and there is no way out.
Arina remains the quiet storm beneath his shadow-soft, fragile, yet the only light that still breathes in that darkness. She watches her children struggle between becoming their father or breaking apart trying not to.
This is not a continuation, but a standalone story of power and possession, where the next generation carries the burden of a man who never learned to release control.
"I wish she would just disappear."

Shattered, Ella rebuilds her life from the ashes, determined to never need another man again.
But years later, Keith storms back into her life, ready to avenge a past he doesn't understand. He's already lost her once. Will he make the same mistake twice and lose his only chance at true love forever?
