Viola stood completely alone in the bright, cold light of the bathroom.

Her fist was clamped so hard around the diamond that the sharp edges cut into her palm. Her breath came in jagged, burning gasps, her throat closing up around a thick, suffocating knot of humiliation.

She didn't return to the drawing room. She turned on her heel, pushed open the side service door, and moved like a ghost up the back staircase toward the east wing.

She reached her room, slipped in

    Sebastian stayed there a second longer, licking her through the last of it, then pulled back. His mouth was wet. He wiped it with the back of his hand and stood up. He stepped between her legs and looked down at her. Viola’s eyes were half-closed, lips parted, face flushed. For a second he just stared at her like that—breathing hard, jaw tight. Then he bent down and kissed her. It wasn’t soft. He took her mouth like he was still hungry, deep and possessive, sucking her tongue into his mouth with a wet sound that made her whimper. She could taste herself on him—tangy, sharp, mixed with the heat of his breath. Her hands came up and fisted in his shirt as she kissed him back with everything she had left, meeting every pull of his mouth, every wet drag of his tongue. He groaned into her, one hand sliding up into her hair to hold her still while he kissed her harder, deeper, until her lungs burned and the only thing she cou

    Viola gasped, her hips jerking against his hand. He stretched her slowly, his thumb keeping up a punishing, circular pressure against her clit while his mouth moved up to her ear, his breath scorching. He slid a second finger in, pumping into her with a slow, heavy cadence that curled her toes and made her head spin. Suddenly, he pulled his hand out. Viola let out an involuntary sound of protest, but before she could open her eyes, Sebastian stood up in one fluid, powerful surge, hauling her off his lap into his arms. "Sebastian!" she gasped, grabbing his neck. He didn't reply. He kicked his heavy leather chair backward and laid her down flat onto the mahogany desk, sending a stack of thick folders crashing to the Persian rug below. He leaned over her, his breathing thick and ragged, dark strands of hair falling across his forehead. His amber eyes were nearly black, his pupils blown wide with raw, feral hunge

    Sebastian raised one of his eyebrows. A dark, crooked spark of amusement cut through his fatigue. "Are you scolding me, wife?" At the word wife, Viola's cheeks heated up instantly. A sudden flush crept all the way up her neck, warming her face. She pressed both hands against the front of his shirt, feeling the slow, heavy thud of his heart beneath her palms. "Don't change the subject," she muttered, trying to keep her expression flat. "You need food." "Just this," Sebastian said, his voice dropping an octave, thick and low. "Let me finish reading this." His left arm stayed clamped around her waist, keeping her pinned firmly against his torso, while his right hand returned to the laptop trackpad, his fingers clicking steadily. Viola sat still, her head resting just beneath his jaw. Through the thin silk of her gown, she could feel the thick, rigid length of his arousal pressing hard against her hip.

    Ten minutes later, the rubber wheels of a service trolley clicked over the threshold. Sofia wheeled it in, looking tense. A domed silver cloche covered the main plate, flanked by a carafe of water, a glass, and silverware. "Thank you, Sofia," Viola said, stepping up to take the trolley handle. "Go to sleep. You've been on your feet all day." "Are you sure, Madam? I can leave it outside the door—" "Go rest," Viola told her with a small, firm nod. "I'll take care of it." Sofia bowed her head and slipped out into the corridor. Viola waited until the door closed, then turned the cart around and pushed it out into the quiet hall. Two guards stood stationed at the corner leading to Sebastian's private study, their holsters strapped tight over dark suits. As Viola approached, the white silk of her hem whispering around her ankles, both men immediately dropped their heads, clasped their

    Inside the room, the sound of weeping stopped instantly.Octavia lowered the handkerchief. With steady, deliberate strokes, she blotted the dampness from the corners of her eyes. Her shoulders straightened, shedding the fragile slump in an instant. Her face smoothed out, settling into a stillness as she walked back to the bay window, looking down at the gravel driveway below with dry eyes.For the rest of the afternoon, Viola’s mind was an exhausting, noisy mess.She walked through the southwest wing like a ghost. Every time the room went quiet, Octavia’s wet eyes flashed in her thoughts, followed by the broken rasp of her voice saying Theodore’s name.Is it possible? a traitorous whisper rose in her chest. Can someone really change after a dream? What if she truly saw him?No.Viola stopped beside the tall mirror in the master bedroom, her left hand coming up to press firmly against her lower belly, right through the fabric of h

    Viola didn't move an inch. A cold knot twisted in her stomach, heavy with suspicion."Why?" Viola asked, her voice dropping lower, wary and sharp. "Why are you saying this right now?"Octavia let out a shuddering, broken exhale. Her head dropped, her shoulders caving inward for a moment before she forced herself to look back up through her tears, her eyes red and streaming."I had a dream," Octavia whispered. Her voice was thin, hollow, trembling like dry paper. "Your father... Theodore was standing right there. He didn't raise his voice. He just looked at me with so much sorrow... and he asked me what I had done with his little girl. How I could take my own misery and use it to destroy you."A heavy drop fell from Octavia’s chin, darkening the grey wool of Viola’s sleeve."I woke up in the dark and I couldn't breathe," Octavia went on, her fingers curling tighter into Viola's arms. "I realized I spent all these years blaming you for thin

    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

    The heavy oak doors of the Hierro estate always felt too tall, like they were designed to make whoever walked through them feel small.Viola pulled the sleeves of her oversized sweater over her knuckles. She kept her head down, hoping her hair would fall over the sides of her face. Maybe if she sta
