Isla, mid-fall, flailed for anything to grab, her swollen, bandaged fingers closing uselessly on air.

This is it.

She braced for impact, eyes shut, and then a strong arm caught her waist, yanking her upright before she hit the floor.

"Whew..." Isla exhaled hard, staring up at Grayson, still rattled.

"That vase, if I'm remembering correctly, is worth about a million," Grayson said mildly, though something serious flickered behind his eyes.

I didn't even TOUCH the thing. Why is he acting like I a

    Isla hit the ground hard. Every joint screamed at once, pain radiating deep enough it felt like her organs had shifted places."Isla, are you okay?!" Marcus, spotting her fall, dropped his guard entirely, and paid for it instantly, catching a boot to the gut. The second man seized the opening, grabbing him from behind by the throat."Marcus, watch out!" Isla's warning came too late.Watching him get overpowered, dread flooded through her. She tried to push herself up and found her whole body had gone numb, no strength left to do anything but watch.Marcus, throat pinned, went cold and calculating for a half-second before twisting the wrist and elbow of the arm choking him, launching a sharp, precise counterattack.Gentle as he usually seemed, the man clearly had actual training behind him.Quick, decisive, no hesitation, he flipped the entire exchange in a heartbeat.The thug yelped and released his grip. Marcus drove an elbow hard into his stomach, neutralizing the threat instantly.

    Isla stood beside Grayson, choking down the sandwich with tears pricking at her eyes. Objectively loaded with good ingredients, it tasted like cardboard.Meanwhile, the Great Demon King made his own breakfast, no sandwich, just fried egg, bacon, and a small fruit and vegetable plate pulled from the fridge.Healthy. Balanced. Zero ham involved.Isla stood beside him like a scolded schoolkid forced to eat her punishment lunch in silence, chewing resentfully through the sandwich he'd shoved into her hands."Mr. Vale, you cook too? Is there anything you can't do?" Isla mumbled around a mouthful of bread.Clearly fishing for an argument, but not brave enough to start one outright, passive digs would have to do.Grayson turned his head slightly, something unreadable and deep flickering behind his eyes.Isla felt her stomach lurch under that look.Her chewing stalled mid-motion, like a squirrel caught mid-nibble. She blinked up at him, wary.Did I say something wrong again?Grayson paused, s

Isla exhaled hard, staring up at Grayson, still rattled."That vase, if I'm remembering correctly, is worth about a million," Grayson said mildly, though something serious flickered behind his eyes.I didn't even TOUCH the thing. Why is he acting like I already broke it.Still shaken, Isla straightened, terrified of what a real injury on top of everything else might invite. "Hmph. My husband treats me perfectly fine, thank you. Even if I DID break a million-dollar vase, he wouldn't say a word about it. He's already stocked me an entire closet of designer everything. Spoils me rotten." She lifted her chin, delivering the line with total conviction.The real Grayson never said a word when I destroyed a two-hundred-million-dollar piece, and this ma

    Isla flinched, snatching the pillow protectively to her chest, whatever bravado she'd worked up moments ago evaporating on the spot.She curled around it, shoulders hunched, a nervous sweat prickling along her hairline. In an instant she'd collapsed from would-be assailant to trembling quail."No... I just wanted to hug my pillow," Isla mumbled, refusing to abandon the excuse entirely.Grayson finally cracked his eyes open, studying the small, guilty figure beside him.A hand settled at her waist, unhurried, and Isla squeezed her eyes shut, biting her lip, freezing in place, too tense to breathe. "It's morning," she managed after a beat. "What do we do?"She didn't dare imagine the fallout. A house full of staff, and Grayson Vale having spent the whole night in her room, every small sound now felt like the prelude to disaster. She half expected the real Grayson to send men bursting through the door any second, dragging her off to something unspeakable.He'd take the blame for none of

    Grayson loosened his tie and stepped inside, closing the door behind him.The heavy thud of it shutting made Isla flinch, her wide eyes fixed on him as he crossed the room toward her."Mr. Vale, wrong room. Grayson's on the third floor, not here." Isla had barely stepped out of the shower, and already a fresh sheen of nervous sweat had broken across her back.Grayson didn't stop moving. At her words, his mouth curled, indifferent. "Grayson? Not looking for him. Looking for you."His tone stayed careless, almost lazy, but his stride carried something predatory, unhurried, deliberate, closing in.This man has lost his mind.Isla held her breath, forcing calm she didn't feel."You... looking for me? What for?" Her voice cracked despite her effort, and she managed only half a step back before he'd already crossed the distance.He stopped inches away. Isla lifted her chin, trembling, and met eyes that made something in her chest seize with fear.The smell of alcohol hit her hard, he'd clea

    Marcus flinched at the sudden outburst. He slid into the driver's seat immediately, glancing back. "Sir, should we swing by to pick up the young mistress along the way...?""Drive," Grayson said flatly, expression stormy.Marcus, thoroughly confused but too wary to push it, obeyed without another word.The car pulled out of the hospital and stopped at the first red light, and Marcus took the opportunity to relay what he'd learned.Grayson sat in the back, legs crossed, radiating cold authority even in silence, his sharp features half-shadowed, eyes carrying an unmistakable danger."Sir, preliminary findings say the fire started with a patient sneaking a cigarette in a storage room downstairs. Terminal illness, apparently didn't care about the rules. But the cigarette pack itself is unaccounted for, it didn't belong to any registered patient.""I don't think this was random. Could be Vale family business, could be Mu Zunlong. If it's the family, Julian's still at risk. If it's Mu Zunlo
