Masuk“Yes, it is really gorgeous.” I responded, doing nothing to wipe the smile off my face because I knew that it was going to come back anyway. Octavia smiled as she kept her gaze on the setting sun. And while the view was really beautiful, I had no business with the view, she was the one who made it
AIDAN NIGHTINGALE. Settling into the place took longer than I initially thought it was going to, but I enjoyed every moment of hauling the bags and unloading it, and there was also something about the way Octavia stared at me that made me feel as though I was really doing something right. Smiling,
“So?” The sound of Aidan’s voice made me realize that I hadn’t said anything yet, and I wanted to, but I had no idea what to say, the view of the building itself had knocked the breath out of me. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how the view from the house itself would be; my goodness, it would be

My breath burned in my lungs, my chest heaving, heart pounding as rage thrummed in my veins like fucking drums. “No, Aidan Nightingale, calm down,” I breathed to myself, trying to settle the fury pounding inside me but it was fucking hard, “listen closely.” I told myself. I tried to but the more I
AIDAN NIGHTINGALE. The servant didn’t need to wait for me, I could take as much time as I needed before going to see them but I knew that the longer I delayed, the longer they’d remain in my house. I didn’t want that, whatever they’d come for, whatever stupid threat and talk about balance that the
