Edwina

It had been two weeks since Justice confessed his feelings for me, and I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. Justice. The same guy who used to mock me, who once said I wasn’t his type because I looked too much like a boy—he liked me. Not just liked, but liked me very, very much.

Every time I thought about it, my brain felt like it was short-circuiting. This was Justice we were talking about—the guy who looked like God had carved him from pure perfection.

Honestly, if someone told me he was a fallen angel who’d lost his wings, I’d believe them without question, because that’s exactly how gorgeous he was.

And yet, this impossible creature—with his rebel streak and that maddening smirk—had chosen to like me. Me.

I knew Steven would have asked if I felt the same way had I not shut him down when I did. He always poked into matters that weren’t his business, and my feelings for Justice were definitely one of those things.

But I didn’t want to open that door, not yet. My heart

  • Bared To You    Chapter Sixty One

    Edwina It wasn’t until three days later—after Steven returned from his business trip and heard from his father what had happened—that I finally knew the reason Mr. Matthias had let us go.The truth hit me like a punch in the gut. And it hurt. Hurt, because I kept replaying it in my head, thinking how it could all have been avoided if King Anthony hadn’t been such a jerk. Him… and Justice too, if I was being honest.I pressed my lips together bitterly. I couldn’t believe King Anthony had threatened Mr. Matthias with a citizen boycott just to force his hand into firing me and Justice. And why? Because Justice had the audacity—the courage—to say no to marrying his useless daughter. Who does that nowadays? Seriously. You don’t just bully someone into giving up their freedom. You don’t force someone to do something they don’t want to do. But of course, King Anthony always played by his own twisted rules.Deep down, I knew this wasn’t the end of it. If Justice didn’t give in, Anthony and

  • Bared To You    Chapter Fifty Nine

    Maximillian The confession left me raw, stripped bare. My chest ached, my pride trembled on the edge of ruin.Edwina’s mouth fell open, her stare cutting through me like I’d just grown horns. And then—she laughed.Not just a chuckle. No, it was the kind of uncontrollable, rib-aching, tear-inducing laughter that made my face flush hot with humiliation. Her stupid friend Steven joined in, like it was the funniest thing he’d ever heard.The sound shredded me.“What? You like me? Are you insane?” she managed through her laughter, staring at me like I was an utter fool.Maybe I was. But I wasn’t going to lie. “Maybe. Maybe not,” I shot back, not giving her the satisfaction of watching me squirm. “I know what I’m feeling. It’s okay if you don’t like me back.”“Of course I don’t.” Her words were sharp, a blade twisting in the very spot I’d just opened up to her. “Just because I told you I was attracted to you doesn’t mean I actually like you. You’re handsome, I’ll give you that, but you’re

  • Bared To You    Chapter Fifty Eight

    Maximillian A heavy silence stretched in the chamber after my words. The kind of silence that made the air feel too thick to breathe.King Anthony’s smile faltered, the faintest crack in his polished mask. His fingers drummed lightly on the armrest of his chair as if weighing whether to lash out or laugh it off.“You’re a bold young man,” he finally said, his tone clipped. “Very bold.”I held his gaze. Bold? No. Just tired of being pushed around by people who think they own the world.His eyes narrowed. “Most men would kill for the chance I’m offering you.”“Then perhaps you should find one of them,” I replied evenly. My voice was calm, almost polite, but the defiance was unmistakable.For a moment, his jaw tightened. I could almost see the fury simmering beneath his kingly composure. But then, to my surprise, he chuckled. Low at first, then louder.“You really don’t care for titles or riches, do you?” he mused. “No wonder she likes you. You’re not like the other fools who prostrated

  • Bared To You    Chapter Fifty Seven

    Maximillian A few weeks later, Miranda made it her life’s mission to make mine even more miserable than it already was. Every damn day, she showed up at Edwina’s house like a plague that wouldn’t go away. It was almost comical—if it hadn’t been so irritating—that Evelyn, in her quiet rebellion, decided to have her own fun. She always made sure she was the one to meet Miranda at the door, her sweet smile masking the venom in her words as she told her I wasn’t around.Of course, I was home every single time. Hiding. Watching. Fighting the urge to go out there and strangle the princess with her own royal scarf. Evelyn knew it, too. That was her way of avenging me, though I couldn’t figure out what Miranda had done to get under her skin so badly. Whatever the reason, I was grateful.Apparently, Miranda’s persistence had begun to irritate Edwina too, because one afternoon, while I was crouched outside washing the dirt from my feet after hours at the farms, she walked up to me. She didn

  • Bared To You    Chapter Fifty Six

    Maximillian The days blurred into one another, each one heavier than the last. Between falling ill just weeks after working on that cursed pig farm, making desperate yet pathetic attempts to win back Edwina’s good graces—and failing miserably every single time, keeping an eye out for the return of my father’s bodyguards, and trying to dodge the suffocating claws of a spoiled, persistent princess, I was exhausted.More than exhausted. Some nights, the thought of ending it all—just snuffing myself out and getting it over with—clung to me like a shadow.I sat on a makeshift chair behind the house, my head buried in my hands, wishing for silence, wishing for escape, when the familiar sound of tires crunching on gravel broke through my thoughts. My heart seized in my chest.Damn it. They’ve come for me. Father’s finally had enough.The idea of his bodyguards dragging me back by force, back into the cage I’d fled from, sent me spiraling toward the edge of a panic attack. My chest grew tigh
