Chapter One:
The morning sun cast a warm, golden glow through the dusty windows of Eva Harper's tiny studio, illuminating splatters of paint like confetti on the wall. Surrounded by canvases that whispered stories yet to be told, Eva stood with her paintbrush poised over a half-finished masterpiece. But just as inspiration surged, a sharp knock at the door pulled her back to reality.
"Coming!" she called, hastily wiping her paint-streaked hands on her apron.
Outside, Isabella pulsed with energy, her eyes alight with excitement and a thick envelope clutched in her hands. "You've got mail, and it looks fancy!"
With trembling fingers, Eva tore it open, her breath catching as she read the offer to paint a mural for Voss Manor-one of the city's most exclusive estates.
"Is this real?" Eva whispered, her heart racing with disbelief.
"It's real, babe! And you're going to nail it!" Isabella cheered, her enthusiasm infectious.
At Voss Manor, the sheer opulence nearly knocked the breath from Eva's lungs. Marble floors stretched like a luxurious river beneath her feet, and majestic ceilings soared high above, adorned with lavish chandeliers that sparkled like a thousand stars. Each wall showcased priceless art that surpassed her wildest dreams. And then, there he was-Lucas Voss.
"Miss Harper?" His voice was smooth, like velvet against her skin, instantly capturing her attention.
Their eyes met, and an unexpected spark ignited within Eva's chest. Lucas, however, regarded her as a mere pawn astepping stone in his meticulously crafted game of revenge.
