2026-09-29 00:00:00The little girl hugged the bear to her chest, her sobs subsiding into small, shaky hiccups. She looked up at Viola with round, watery eyes and offered a tiny, shy nod.
"Lily! Oh, thank goodness!" A young woman with an armful of wool scarves rushed around the corner, her face pale with worry. She dropped to her knees, gathering the little girl into her arms. "I turned around for two seconds! Thank you so much," she said, looking up at Viola with profound relief. "Thank you."

Viola stood up slowly, her knees wobbling for a brief second before she found her balance. She walked back into the adjoining bathroom, her steps light and cautious. Moments later, she emerged carrying a white first-aid kit and a clean, damp towel.She walked back to the bed, dropping to her knees on the thick rug right in front of him.Sebastian didn't say a word. He just sat on the edge of the mattress, looking down at her as she set the kit open on the floor.Viola’s hands were shaking as she reached up. Her fingers hesitated for a fraction of a second before she began unbuttoning his shirt.She parted the sliced, blood-soaked cotton, peeling the damp fabric away from his skin.Beneath it, the cut sat directly over his ribs, right above his heart. It wasn't deep enough to be lethal, but the steel had bitten sharp into the flesh, leaving a jagged red line that steadily wept crimson down his side, mixing with the dark ink of the serpent

Footsteps crossed the floor behind her.Sebastian dropped to his knees on the tile at her side. Without a word, his large hand gathered her long hair, pulling it back from her face, while his other hand pressed flat against the center of her back, rubbing slow, firm circles over her spine.He didn't make a sound. He didn't pull away in disgust. He just held her steady against the cold tiles until the retching finally subsided into ragged gasps.He reached over to the sink, turned the cold tap, and filled a glass, holding it out to her."Rinse," he said quietly.Viola took the glass with trembling fingers. She rinsed, spat into the basin, and leaned back against the wall, her breathing shallow and raspy.Sebastian remained on his knees in front of her. His dark eyes raked over her face. The cold, unbothered boss was gone. In his place was a tight, coiled anxiety that pinched the corners of his eyes."You're pale as paper,

Sebastian’s jaw set into iron. He stared down at her for a heartbeat, his amber eyes burning with a dark, unyielding intensity that made the breath catch in her throat.Without breaking eye contact, his right hand dropped to his side.With a smooth, practiced flick, he drew a small, black-hilted blade from the sheath inside his waistband. The steel caught the gray window light with a cold, dull gleam.Before Viola could even flinch, Sebastian grabbed her hand, forced her trembling fingers around the hilt, and slammed the point of the blade directly against his own chest.Right over his heart.The sharp steel sliced clean through the black cotton of his shirt, the point biting into the flesh beneath. A dark, wet stain began to spread immediately across the fabric around the tip.Viola gasped, pure horror locking her throat. She tried desperately to tear her hand back, to shove the weapon away, but Sebastian’s large, scarred finger

Viola jerked her face away, but his palm cupped the side of her neck, his fingers resting warm against her pulse point, keeping her still. "What's the matter?" she spat, her violet eyes burning straight into his. "Aren't you here to interrogate me? That’s what you told your father downstairs, wasn't it? So go ahead. Interrogate me. Torture me. Isn't that what you do to people who don't follow your orders?" Sebastian looked down at her, the slight trace of humor dropping away until his face was solid stone. "You know why I said that down there," he said quietly. "I don't know anything!" Viola snapped. Her voice cracked, the fury breaking apart in an instant, leaving the raw, bleeding ache underneath exposed. "I don't know what you want from me," she choked out, hot tears rushing to her eyes. "Why are you doing this to me, Sebastian? Why? I know you don't love me. I know you don't feel a damn thi

Mateo walked ahead, his hands hanging loosely at his sides, leading the way down the private hall that separated Sebastian's wing from the rest of the estate. Two guards in dark suits stood at attention near the entrance, nodding respectfully as Mateo passed. He walked past the master suite at the end of the hall, stopping two doors down before a heavy walnut door. Mateo turned the brass knob and pushed the door open, stepping aside into the hallway. "This is your room from now on, Miss Viola," Mateo said. Viola stopped on the threshold, her arms wrapped tight around her waist. She looked from the open room back to Mateo, her eyebrows drawing together in confusion. "What do you mean?" "Jefe's orders," Mateo answered, his face an impassive wall. "He will be up in a minute." Viola looked inside. The room was larger than the guest quarters d

The study fell dead quiet the moment the heavy double doors clicked shut behind Octavia and Vanessa.Rafael remained behind his desk. He reached into the carved wooden box near his elbow, pulled out a thick cigar, and cut the tip with slow, deliberate precision. The silver blade snapped through the tobacco leaf with a sharp crunch."That girl is a liability," Rafael said, his gravelly voice cutting through the smoke-scented air. "She brings chaos into this house. Nothing else."He struck a match, holding the flame to the cigar until the end glowed a dull orange."We need an alliance for her," Rafael continued, blowing a thick gray cloud toward the ceiling. "A quiet arrangement. A family in the south, perhaps. Someone who knows how to keep an unruly woman locked behind a gate. The sooner she is out of this city, the sooner we close that vulnerability.""No."The refusal was flat. Unhurried.Rafael’s hand stilled an inch f

Viola spent the rest of the day hiding in her tiny bedroom.She didn't go down for lunch, and she skipped dinner entirely. She just sat on the edge of her bed, her knees pulled tight to her chest, waiting. She expected her mother to burst through the door at any second. She expected to be dragged t

The study in the Hierro estate always smelled the same. Old leather, expensive scotch, and decaying power.Sebastian stood near the massive mahogany desk, looking out the large window that overlooked the manicured gardens. He wasn’t wearing a suit jacket, just his dark shirt, unbuttoned at the coll

Viola stood in front of the small mirror in her bedroom, her fingers gently touching her jaw.Yesterday, right after her mother’s hand had cracked across her face, Viola had run to the bathroom and desperately covered the angry red mark with cheap foundation. Now, with the makeup washed off, a fain

Dinner ended exactly as it began—stiff, quiet, and suffocating.Viola didn’t wait for Vanessa or her mother to stand up. The moment Rafael pushed his chair back, she slipped away from the table. She kept her head down, tracing the edge of the hallway until she found the heavy glass doors leading to
