Author's POV She was already seated at the table, a cup of tea resting near her hand while she looked over something on the tablet in front of her. But the second her eyes lifted and landed on them, everything else immediately became irrelevant.Her gaze moved from Dante to Jem.Then back again.She did not say anything at first.She simply looked.Because there was something different.Something she had spent months hoping to see.The way Dante stood slightly closer to Jem without realizing it.The way Jem no longer looked like he was preparing himself to run.The way they moved around each other naturally.Something in Madam Frost’s expression softened.Her eyes filled quietly.But she did not make a comment.She did not tease them.She did not say anything that would embarrass either of them.She simply reached across the table the moment Jem sat beside her and placed her hand over his.Jem looked down at their joined hands.Then he looked at her.Madam Frost only smiled faintly.

Author's POVFor the first time in what felt like a very long time, the morning inside the estate did not feel like a place where everyone was waiting for something terrible to happen.The silence was still there, as it always was inside the Williams mansion, but it was different now. It was softer. Less suffocating. Less like the walls themselves were holding their breath.Jem woke up slowly, his eyes adjusting to the pale morning light slipping through the curtains before his attention shifted toward the person beside him.Dante was still asleep.For a few moments, Jem simply remained there, staring.Not because he was suspicious.Not because he was trying to figure out what Dante was hiding.But because, for the first time since he had entered this estate, he was actually allowing himself to look at him without searching for a reason to protect himself.Without wondering when everything would fall apart.The sight of Dante sleeping was still strange to him in a way he could not exp

Author's POV The morning after Jem said yes carried a different kind of weight inside the estate.The air felt heavy—not exactly tense, but charged, like something important had already shifted even if nothing had been said out loud.Dante hadn’t made any announcements. No meetings, no declarations. He had simply woken up beside Jem and carried the answer inside him in silence, as though it wasn’t ready for the world yet.Jem, on the other hand, couldn’t stop thinking about it.He kept turning it over in his mind, trying to understand how easily it had happened. Yes. He had said yes. And what unsettled him wasn’t regret—it was how natural it had felt. How little hesitation there had been, as if some deeper part of him had already decided long before Dante even asked.He was in the kitchen that morning, standing at the counter with a cup of tea he had not actually drunk yet, when Madam Frost's private nurse appeared at the doorway."She's asking for both of you," the woman said gently

Author's POV The hallway still felt like Samson hadn’t fully left. Jem had only taken a few steps from the garden when he felt it—a shift in the air. He turned the corner, and Mara was already there, standing still by the archway, watching him. For once, she didn’t look in control. She looked tired.“Mara,” Jem said quietly, his voice careful, almost cautious, as though he was unsure which version of her he was about to face. He stopped walking entirely, giving her space without fully understanding why. “If this is about what you saw in the garden, you don’t need to—”“It is exactly about what I saw in the garden,” Mara cut in sharply, but her voice did not carry its usual authority. It trembled slightly at the edges, not with weakness exactly, but with something far more unsettling for someone like her—lack of control. She swallowed once, visibly steadying herself, then stepped closer, stopping just a few feet away from him. Her eyes did not leave his face. “Do you have any idea w
Contractually Yours Chapter 117: Contractually Yours
Author's POV Dante didn’t knock. He didn’t even hesitate when he reached the door at the end of the corridor. His hand turned the handle with controlled force, and the door opened into a room that felt colder than the rest of the mansion. Jem was on the bed. Sitting at the edge at first, then leaning forward with his elbows on his knees as though the weight of his own thoughts had become too heavy to carry upright. He hadn’t changed his position since he ran upstairs. The faint tremor in his shoulders was the only sign that he wasn’t as still as he appeared. When the door clicked shut behind Dante, Jem didn’t look up immediately. That silence lasted only a second too long. Then Jem spoke without turning. “I don’t want to hear it.” Dante stopped just inside the room. For a moment, he said nothing. Not because he had nothing to say, but because he was choosing where to place his words carefully enough not to break something beyond repair. “You saw something y
Contractually Yours Chapter 116: Contractually Yours
Author's POV Nothing moved inside the room. Not even the air. For several seconds Dante simply stood there, listening, absorbing, understanding. Then he finally spoke. And somehow, his voice sounded sadder than angry, “I know.” Samson blinked. Dante continued quietly. “I’ve always known about your feelings.” That clearly wasn’t the answer Samson expected. His expression shifted. “What?” Dante’s gaze never wavered. “I didn’t know when it started. I didn’t know how deep it went. But I knew.” Something shattered silently behind Samson’s eyes, because suddenly fifteen years of hiding no longer existed—Dante had seen it all along. “And that’s what makes this worse,” Dante continued. Because none of it was imaginary. What you feel is real.” For a brief moment, hope flickered in Samson’s chest. Then Dante destroyed it again, “But it is not what I feel for Jem.” The words landed cleanly, directly, without mercy. Dante took one step forward. “No amount of forged document changes
