Despite the internal fireworks going off, Isla kept her expression perfectly composed respectful, obedient, no trace of foul play whatsoever.

But her eyes were a little too bright, a little too satisfied.

I had the perfect alibi ready I stirred it right in front of everyone, so there's no way I could've slipped anything in. And that wasabi packet is already buried in the trash. No fingerprints, no evidence, nothing.

He'll never suspect a thing.

Grayson didn't look up. He kept flipping through t

    Grayson frowned, rolled every window down, and turned to look out at the passing street.The breeze carried a wave of pork-scented air straight from Isla to him.Isla caught the flicker of disgust crossing his features instantly.This is awkward on so many levels.He's the one who yelled at me to get in this car, fully aware of what I looked like, and now he's making faces about it? Not my fault.But then, remembering how this man operated, she braced herself he'd probably find some way to bill her for "contaminating" the upholstery.Isla scooted forward, trying to compress herself into as small a space as possible.This car's worth more than I'll make in a decade. I cannot afford whatever damages he'll invent.She was still spiraling through worst-case scenarios when Grayson's voice cut in, flat and cold."Skipping work to sneak off and meet someone at your old campus?"Isla: "..."Grayson leaned against the window, eyes narrowed, a quiet, simmering anger visible underneath his compo

    Every word out of Bianca's mouth landed like a blade precise, cruel, aimed to wound without ever quite killing. Avoiding anything fatal, just enough to bleed her slowly, over and over. Isla could do nothing but stand there and take it.What a vicious woman.Isla was shaking, and it wasn't just her own suffering fueling the rage building in her chest it was the thought of her grandmother caught in the middle of it.I want to tear this woman apart with my bare hands. But if I push back now, she'll take it out on Grandma instead.I hate this. I hate all of it. And I can't do a single thing about it.Her eyes burned red, tears threatening. She bit her lip hard enough to draw blood and didn't even register the pain. Through the blur of tears, her stare stayed locked on Bianca, sharp and furious.Bianca didn't flinch under that glare if anything, it seemed to delight her more."If you don't cover this, the medication stops. You know she's only alive right now because of it..."That threat l

    Marcus didn't argue further, just started the car and followed the cab.In the back seat, Grayson reopened the text Isla had sent him the day before. Just a flat notice that the laundry was done and dropped at his office.Nothing else. No warmth, no small talk.Irritated, he tossed the phone aside. He'd been resting with his eyes shut, but something sharp and unwelcome flared behind them now.I want to know exactly who she's meeting at lunch.Isla stepped out of the cab at the campus gate. Before she'd even crossed onto school grounds, a familiar voice called out warmly, "Isla."Standing just outside the entrance was a guy in a crisp white shirt and casual pants, his easy smile practically glowing on its own."Senior?" Isla glanced over, surprised, and waved. Marcus Whitfield.Marcus smiled at her, warm and effortless, the kind of expression that felt genuinely soothing. "I figured you'd be back on campus today, so I waited. Have you eaten?"She hadn't. Between the chaos at work, lunc

    Isla used the document delivery as cover, handing a colleague a bag of clothes draped with a silk scarf, claiming it was paperwork prepared for the CEO.Once the drop-off was done and she heard the good news that the Great Demon King was away on business, pure relief flooded through her.Today is going to be a good day.Back at his desk, Bradley barely settled in before wandering over to find her."Translator Bennett, about that favor from before I'm actually free today," he said, all smiles.His gaze had turned distinctly warmer since the last conversation."Sir, Mr. Vale's away on business today, not sure when he's back," Isla said, standing respectfully, keeping her voice soft.Bradley blinked, surprised. "On business? Word travels fast we hadn't even heard yet."His fond expression deepened.Something about that warmth sent an uneasy chill down her spine she flashed back to the whole coffee-and-wandering-hands debacle in the meeting the day before.Everyone's drawing their own con

    Grayson had been gone barely two minutes when the butler's footsteps approached. Isla shot upright instantly, composed herself, and rubbed her ankle like nothing had just happened."Madam, we've got an ice pack ready, and the doctor should arrive shortly," the butler said respectfully from the doorway.A maid stepped in with the ice pack, moving to apply it herself."Thank you I've got it from here. You can go ahead."The maid glanced at the butler, who nodded, and handed the pack over before retreating quietly to the door."Rest up, Madam. The doctor will examine you the moment he arrives.""Thank you, I appreciate it," Isla said sincerely."Just doing my job, ma'am." The butler moved to close the door, then paused. "Madam the young master left for a checkup today. He won't be back for several days. If you need anything, come find me or the staff directly."Relief flooded through Isla carefully masked behind a suitably worried expression."Is he alright? Is there anything I can do?"

    Grayson looked down at the woman in his arms playing dead, three visible tension lines forming on his forehead.After a beat, he simply carried her inside the estate.Isla kept her hands clenched tighter and tighter against her chest as they moved.This is dangerously close to disaster. If anyone suspects a thing, I am completely finished. I need to sell this performance.She forced her lashes still, steadied her breathing, and committed fully to the role.The butler stepped out to greet them, momentarily startled at the sight of Grayson carrying Isla inside then recovered his composure fast."What happened, Madam?""Twisted her ankle. Fainted." Grayson's tone was cold, clipped, done with the whole ordeal."Thank you for personally seeing her home safely, sir.""This way, sir."Listening to the exchange, Isla's anxiety spiked dreading what Grayson might say next, or worse, that the real Grayson Vale might want to see her.She felt herself being carried up the stairs. Oh no. Is he actu
