Chapter 24 – Two Heiresses, One Devil
Naomi stood just near the table, looking like she’d walked out of a revenge movie’s third act. Her black velvet gown shimmered like obsidian caught in firelight. Her eyes, once soft and stormy, now glinted cold—diamond-cut, precise, and devoid of all hesitation.
No shock. No tears. No anger.
Only steel.

"...Mira Xianlong."
She didn’t shout it. She said it like a spell. Like she’d been practicing it for years, in front of a mirror, just in case fate was ever this cruel.
Mira shifted slightly on Lux’s lap, her spine regal, her leg still crossed over his thighs like she owned the damn foundation beneath them. She tilted her head, eyes glimmering with amusement and disdain in equal measure.
"Well, well..." Mira said, her voice smooth but laced with something sharp. "Naomi Delacour... Never thought you were his date."
Lux blinked.
He looked between them.
