Kieran's POV:

His words cracked something wide open in me. For so long, people had touched me for what they wanted from me, from my body, from my status. And I had given in, because resisting always led to punishment. But Adrien was different.

He wanted me to want him.

My eyes burned.

“I have never…” I began, then faltered. “I don’t know how to be held without breaking.”

Adrien’s thumb brushed under my eye, catching another tear.

“Then break,” he murmured. “I will hold you anyway.”

And I did.

I cried harder than I ever have. All the tormenting pain that I have been feeling since yesterday, I let it pour out.

Adrien didn’t speak.

He didn’t hush me or try to make it better with empty words.

He just held me.

He let me cry into his shoulder, his arms slowly wrapping around me, warm and secure. I buried my face into the crook of his neck, inhaling the faint scent of cedar and soap. His hand stroked the back of my head, assuring me that he is here for me.

    Lord Camden’s jaw clenched, his ruddy cheeks turning a deeper shade of red. “You think we will just bow down to your terms? You think this is how things work?”“No,” I replied with a calmness that probably infuriated him more. “I think this is how things are going to work now.”“You son of a...”“I

    He didn’t pull his hand away and that was enough.“I am not here to ask for permission,” I said, standing tall and letting my voice cut through the chamber like a blade. “And I don’t need any of you to believe me."Lord Alister’s lip curled. “The only fact here is that you are delusional.” “I am A

    Adrien’s POV:The council chamber smelled of old wood, leather-bound books, and rotting pride. I could feel their disgusting stares before I even stepped through the doors. 'How would Kieran be feeling in there?' Just the mere thought of it gave me goosebumps. I need to protect him even if it makes

    “And tell us, Your Highness,” Lord Ferand said with an amused tilt to his voice, “how exactly do you plan to secure foreign investors when you can’t even secure your own emotions?”The room chuckled.“Or perhaps your close friend Adrien could seduce one for you.

    Kieran's POV:“Too late for that,” I mumbled. He finally looked up then. And for the first time in days, our eyes met. I froze. His eyes were red and glossy. And filled with so much guilt it made my chest ache. “I miss you,” he whispered. “I miss you so much it hurts.” I didn’t say anything. I couldn’t. My throat was tight. “I haven’t been sleeping,” he admitted, sitting back on his heels. “I haven’t been eating properly. I can’t function, Kieran.
