Cassie's hands clenched into fists at her sides."You're not married to him," she said slowly. "You're a surrogate. Nothing more."

Sierra tilted her head. The shirt slipped further off her shoulder. She didn't bother pulling it up.

"For now," she said.

"For now?" Cassie stepped closer. "What is that supposed to mean?"

Sierra shrugged. "It means things change. People change. Marriages change." She paused. "You've been married for years and you still can't give him a child. I'm here for one month

    Cassie still couldn’t understand why Hank had gone to so much trouble. He could have simply taken her out for dinner without sending an entire outfit. “Turn around,” Maya ordered.Cassie glanced at her through the mirror. “Why? You’ve been staring at me for the past ten minutes.”“Because I’m trying to understand something.” Maya stepped back and looked her over again“How does a woman go from being betrayed by her useless ex-husband to having a handsome billionaire send her a dress, shoes, and a handbag for dinner? Please, I need to know your secret.”Cassie groaned. “Maya, don’t start.”“Oh, I’m not even close to starting.” Maya placed a hand on her hip. “My goodness, look at you! If that man doesn’t propose marriage tonight, I’ll consider him a disappointment.” Then she picked up the handbag and handed it to her. “Now, remember to smile, eat properly, and don’t spend the entire evening arguing with him.”“I don’t argue with him.” Maya slowly turned her head and gave her a look. Cass

    Briar remained still, his fingers still wrapped around her arm. Fiona’s expression hardened. “Briar, I won’t repeat myself. Let go.”He finally released her and stepped back. For a moment, neither of them spoke. Fiona rubbed her arm, glaring at him. “You seriously need to get a grip. Just because you can’t control your own life doesn’t mean you get to put your hands on me.”“Are you done?” Briar snapped.“Not even close, but I have better things to do than stand here watching you throw a tantrum.” She folded her arms. “You want to find out what happened to your shipment? Then investigate it. Check the suppliers, question the drivers, and find out who handled the delivery. But stop dragging Cassie’s name into everything without a single piece of evidence.”Briar turned away and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows. Outside, the sky had taken on an unsettling red colour, casting an eerie glow over the buildings. “She was there,” he muttered. “She was the last person to see that s

    “What time will you be ready for dinner?”Cassie looked up at Hank, blinking in surprise. “Dinner?”Hank smiled. “The dinner we talked about. We can discuss your supply plans, and you also mentioned wanting to learn combat training. I figured we could talk about both over dinner.”“Oh, I haven’t forgotten about that.” Cassie smiled. “Seven o’clock. I’ll be ready.”“Good. I was beginning to think you had forgotten our arrangement.”“Not a chance.”“I’ve also ordered an outfit for you. It should arrive within the hour.”Cassie stared at him. “You ordered me an outfit?”“You haven’t had time to replace your belongings, and I didn’t want you worrying about what to wear tonight. If you don’t like it, we can always send it back.”“Hank, you really didn’t have to do that.”“I know.” He gave her a small smile. “But I wanted to.”Cassie didn’t know what to say. She could only smile as Hank turned and headed towards his office. A few minutes later, Maya returned from downstairs. She was about t

    "I didn't leave you there. I didn't know she was going to lock you up.""But you knew she was crazy!" Fiona stepped closer. Her eyes were blazing. "You knew she was obsessed with getting an heir. You knew she was capable of anything. And yet you let me walk right into her trap."Briar's face flushed. "I didn't let you do anything. You went to her on your own.""Because you told me to!" Fiona shouted. "You told me to talk to your mother about the wedding. You told me to make nice with her. You told me to earn her approval.""I didn't think she would lock you up.""No. You didn't think at all." Fiona turned away. She walked toward the window. Her shoulders were shaking. "You never think, Briar. You just assume everything will work out because you're a Welson. You assume people will do what you want because you have money. You assume everyone will fall in line because you say so."Briar stared at her. "That's not fair.""Not fair?" Fiona spun around. "What's not fair is being treated lik

    Cassie immediately looked away. “It wasn’t what you’re thinking.”“Then what was it?”“Victorie was still acting as if she had some claim over him. Hank wanted to make it clear that he had moved on, so he kissed me in front of her.”Maya stared at her for a moment before slowly leaning back against the couch. “Wow.”“Don’t start.”“I’m not starting anything. I’m just trying to understand how a friendship dinner turned into a kiss with an obsessed ex-girlfriend watching.”“It was to prove a point.”“And did it work?”“She left.”Maya nodded thoughtfully. “Well, at least the point was delivered.”Cassie covered her face with one hand. “Can we please stop talking about this?”Maya laughed. “All right, all right. I’ll leave the handsome man and his dramatic ex alone. For now.”Cassie managed a small smile, but her thoughts soon returned to Hank. She glanced towards the hallway to make sure he was still in his office before lowering her voice. “There’s something else I need to think about.

    “No.”He stared at her, waiting for her to reconsider, but Erica simply folded her arms. Briar let out a humourless laugh and turned toward the nearest laboratory table. Without warning, he grabbed a metal equipment stand and sent it crashing against the glass cabinet beside him. Several instruments fell to the floor, and one of the glass containers shattered. The guards immediately moved forward, but Briar raised a hand to stop them.“Anyone who tries to stop me should think carefully before taking another step,” he warned. “I have tolerated enough of this nonsense. You will release Fiona, or I will make sure this laboratory becomes the first thing the Welson family loses.”Erica’s face turned red with anger. “Have you lost your mind? Do you have any idea how much those instruments cost?”“I don’t care!” Briar shouted. “You seem more concerned about your equipment than the person you’ve locked in a room with an infected creature. If anything happens to Fiona, this place won’t remain
