Chapter: Chapter 18: More Space Than Necessary
Tyrone's POV I lowered Belle on the bed as carefully as I could. She made a small sound and turned onto her side, but her eyes stayed closed. Valeria moved in right away and pulled the blanket up to Belle’s shoulders, smoothed it once, then tucked Sir Reginald under the little girl’s arm like it was the most natural thing in the world. “Val…” Belle mumbled something without waking.. Valeria froze for a second, then brushed a strand of hair off Belle’s forehead. “Sleep," She said quietly. "We’re right here.” Belle’s breathing stayed deep and even. One of her hands twitched once against the blanket and then went still. Valeria kept her fingers lightly on the little girl’s hair for another few seconds. She finally straightened up, smoothed the blanket one last time, and moved away from the bed. We left the room without speaking. The hallway was darker than before. Every soft creak of the floor sounded louder than it should have. I could hear the quiet brush of the nightg

Chapter: Chapter 14: Keep Your Hands Off My Wife
Valeria's POV My phone buzzed just as I was finishing my last chart note of the shift. Tyrone: You done? Me: Yeah, am heading out now. Tyrone: Okay. Ten minutes later I was badging out through the staff exit, bag over my shoulder, already scanning the drop-off lane for whatever car Tyrone had sent, when I heard Stella's voice behind me. "Val, you're already leaving?" She asked. "Wait, I need to..." "I can't, running late," I said, already moving. She called something after me but I didn’t stop. I needed air and distance and five minutes without someone asking about my husband or my sex life. I pushed through the main doors and the night light hit my face. I scanned the curb for the black car. Instead I saw Maxwell. He was already walking toward me, jaw tight, hands in his pockets. I turned left, hoping he’d take the hint, but he didn’t. “Valeria.” he called out but I kept walking. "Valeria, stop.” He caught up and stepped in front of me. The hospital entrance wa

Chapter: Chapter 17: Too Quiet
Tyrone's POV “How bad is it?” I asked. "Three board members have already emailed," Melissa replied. "People are asking whether the money was a condition of the wedding. Right now the public story is a whirlwind romance but the private story is a contract. If the board starts digging, the contract becomes a problem.” I leaned back in the chair and rubbed my eyes. “Who’s leading the questions?” “Daniel O’Neal," She replied. "He's asking for a full breakdown of the Yates Foundation’s decision process.” "Okay, set it up." I rubbed a hand over my face. "Anything else." "Yes," she said carefully. "Your cousin has been making calls. Kelvin reached out to two board members directly, asking questions about your finances and your, and your decision. He’s pushing the custody team to request an emergency review.” "Of course he is," I said. "Kelvin never wasted an opportunity, when it came to Belle’s trust funds. Schedule the board call for tomorrow morning and tell legal to prepare

Chapter: Chapter 16: She Has Sharp Teeth
Tyrone's POV “It’s nothing,” I said. Belle didn’t move. She stepped closer, and squinted up at my face under the hall light like she was examining a patient. “Why is it bleeding?” she asked. "It's barely bleeding anymore," I said. "It's still red." She looked at it a second, then her eyes moved sideways, straight to Valeria. "Did you two fight?" "No," I said. "Then how'd you get hurt?" I glanced at Valeria, who had gone very still, clearly hoping I'd invent something quickly. "Your aunt bit me," I said. Belle's whole face scrunched up in confusion. "She bit you?" "Yes she did," I nodded. "Why would you bite him?" Belle turned to Valeria. "I didn't mean to..." Valeria's voice was high. "I-it wasn't..." Valeria stopped, cheeks already pink, then she turned her gaze to me. "You're the one who shoved your..." She stopped cold, eyes wide, clearly realizing any complete sentence was about to make everything worse. “Your aunt has sharp teeth," I said quickly.

Chapter: Chapter 15: Look Closer
Valeria's POV The car pulled away from the curb and neither of us said a word. I stared straight ahead at the back of the driver's headrest, hyperaware of everything, the leather seat under my thighs, the way Tyrone's leg sat maybe six inches from mine. My mouth still felt swollen and lips still tingled a little. I kept replying Maxwell's face going from smug to stunned in about half a second, the exact moment Tyrone's hand had landed hard on my waist and pulled me in, the way his mouth had felt against mine, and then the bite. Somewhere in the middle of that kiss I'd just stopped thinking entirely, and now there was an actual cut on my fake husband's mouth because I couldn't control myself in a hospital parking lot. I snuck a glance at him. He was looking out the window, jaw set, one hand resting on his knee, not looking at me at all, which somehow made the silence worse instead of better. The city lights slid across his face in strips as we moved, and I found myself star

Chapter: Chapter 19: A Formal Request
Valeria's POV I woke up to the sound of his voice. “What the hell.” My eyes opened and for half a second my brain stayed fuzzy, then everything came in at once. I was pressed against him. My head was on his shoulder and my was thrown over his with his hand was on the bare skin of my waist under the nightgown. I could feel his heartbeat under my cheek. We just stared at each other, his eyes were dark and wide awake. Neither of us moved. The only sound in the room was our breathing. My face went hot so fast it almost hurt. I pulled back too quickly. The nightgown tangled around my thighs and I nearly fell off the edge of the mattress trying to get free. My knee knocked into his leg. The sheet twisted. I ended up half-sitting, clutching the blanket to my chest like it could erase the last eight hours. “I...” My voice came out rough. “I didn’t mean to...” “Yeah.” He sat up slower than I had and his hand left my skin. “Neither did I.” We both looked anywhere except at each other.

Chapter: Chapter 31: You Don't Owe Me Anything
Jazmine's POV"It's you," Kieran said again, quieter this time, like the first time hadn't fully convinced even him.I froze with the little prince still latched hard, my uniform open on one side, one full breast bare and wet where his small mouth worked in strong, rhythmic pulls. I got the baby settled first, hands shaking, moving faster than they should have, adjusting my bodice with quick, clumsy fingers while the infant made small, sleepy sounds of protest at being shifted away from the breast"Your Highness." I kept my voice low, my back half-turned toward him as I finished buttoning my collar. "This isn't-Whatever you think you remember, it isn't what it looked like.""I don't think I remember anything clearly enough to know what it looked like." He stepped further into the room, moving slowly, one hand pressed lightly against his side where the bandages still sat beneath his shirt. His voice was rougher than I expected, worn thin from days of recovering. "I remember a voice tel

Chapter: Chapter 30: It's You
Jazmine's POVRose was almost done when Jake walked into the kitchen.I sat in the low chair by the window, bodice open on one side, her small body tucked against the full, heavy curve of my breast. She nursed in slow, sleepy pulls, tiny mouth working, one hand resting on the soft warm skin, milk had already leaked a little onto the fabric. The morning light caught the fine red hair on her head. Jake stopped in the doorway, his eyes went straight to my bare breast, to the place where our daughter latched, then up to my face, jaw already tight, eyes dark. The air shifted the way it always did when he was angry and trying not to put his hands on me.“You’re really going back," he said."I told you I would." I kept my voice even, focused on Rose's small face, her eyes half-closed, one hand curled loosely against my collarbone the way she always fell asleep at the breast. "I already spoke to Alyssa about it last night.""Without talking to me first.""We talked about it two days ago, Ja

Chapter: Chapter 29: The Nursery
Jazmine's POV I got there earlier than I needed to. It was part of my habits, showing up early was one of the few things I still had full control over in my own life, and this morning I needed as much of that as I could get my hands on. Jake hadn't taken it well. I'd known he wouldn't, but knowing didn't make the argument any easier, his jaw locked tight the whole time, that particular quiet he went into when he was too angry to trust his own voice, the way he'd finally said, low and flat, do what you want, Jazmine, you always do, and gone to bed without another word. I'd lain awake most of the night listening to him breathe beside me, wondering if this was the fight that finally cracked something we couldn't put back together. I pushed the thought down, it wasn't helpful. The corridor outside the royal nursery wing was quieter than the main servant halls, all soft carpets and closed doors that made every footstep feel too loud. My uniform felt tighter than usual across my chest,

Chapter: Chapter 28: Neither Of Us Looked Away
Kyra's POV The knock came later than I'd expected, well past the hour Dr. Alyssa usually finished her rounds, and when I opened the door she looked genuinely apologetic, tucking a loose strand of gray hair back behind her ear. "Forgive the late hour, Miss Sinclair," she said, stepping inside and setting her bag down on the small table by the window. "Prince Dorian's household kept me longer than I planned. The infant's still struggling, and there was a great deal to sort through before I could get away." "Is the baby alright?" I asked. "Stable, for now. That's a conversation for another time, though." She pulled her instruments out one by one, laying them across the cloth she always spread beside my bed for examinations, and glanced toward the door as it opened again. Davian stepped in, still in the dark coat he wore for evening Council work, and Alyssa nodded at him without breaking stride. "Your Majesty," Allyssa said. "Thank you for coming." "You asked me to be here." He sai

Chapter: Chapter 27: Keep Your Distance
Kyra's POV Davian was already in my suite when I returned, standing near the window with his hands clasped behind his back, and he turned the moment the door opened, something sharp crossing his face before I'd even said a word. "What happened?" "Nothing." I set down the small basket of pears I'd picked in the orchard, keeping my voice light, though I could feel my own pulse still not fully settled. "Kyra." He said calmly, and somehow that was worse than if he'd pushed harder. I sighed and set the basket aside properly. "I ran into Prince Dorian in the garden." His expression shifted immediately, jis brows drew together, his jaw tightening as the warmth disappeared from his face. His eyes narrowed slightly, fixed on me with a sudden intensity that had nothing to do with jealousy. There "You were alone with him?" "No I wasn't," I said. "The guards were with me the entire time.."He didn't do anything, Davian. We spoke for a minute. That's all." "What did he want?" I studied hi

Chapter: Chapter 26: Be Careful Around Him
Kyra's POV I lay awake longer than I should have last night, turning yesterday's visit over in my head like a stone I couldn't stop rubbing smooth. He had asked what I ate, not in the clipped, clinical way Dr. Alyssa did it, actual follow-up, like the answer mattered beyond a chart. Then the garden access. The guards had already been told to expand the cleared paths. He was the same man who had stood in this room and told me I had no right to question him was suddenly asking about toast and rice and whether I was getting outside air.It didn't add up, I had learned the hard way from everything Liam had thought to not trust the soft sides of powerful men. They usually hid the sharper ones.A soft knock came at the door, then Jazmine came in with the tray. Chicken and rice again, plus the plain toast she knew I could keep down. She set it on the table and looked distracted, a little tighter around the eyes than usual."You alright?" I asked, reaching for the toast."I'm fine." She bus
