Dimitri's POV

Three days passed in relative peace at the safe house, and I almost let myself believe we'd actually escaped and could be assured now,

But boy was I wrong.

“Come here,” I said over to Blair, who was seated on the other side of the couch with a book in hand.

The past three days were more wonderful than I could have ever imagined. When I was with Blair, everything else disappeared. We cooked together, cleaned, told stories, and talked about the future. It felt like no time had gone by at all.

I sure as hell didn't want to change this for anything in the world.

I wanted to keep being this way for a long, long time, but even though I didn't want to admit it, I knew it was rather far-fetched.

There was no word from Father, and everything was a little too calm and quiet.

“What are you reading?”

“I'm not sure myself, something from your collection? You have a lot of books.”

“I had a habit when I was younger.” I smiled, looking down at the book she was reading. “Ah–good taste

    Blair's POV"What do you think you're doing?" she demanded, stopping at our table with her hands balled tightly against her hips."Sitting with these... people?""These people?" Marcus repeated, everything from his voice to his expression giving off confusion. "You mean my friends?""Friends?" Cassie scoffed, rolling her eyes and gagging like she couldn't bring herself to believe the concept of him having friends. "Marcus, you're the Sheriff's brother. You have a reputation to maintain. You can't sit with just anybody and—" her eyes landed on me with particular tremor, "—and whatever Blair Conserto is.""Excuse me?" I said, anger immediately flaring hot in my chest."You heard me," Cassie said, turning her full attention to me now. "Everyone knows you only got into this school because your mom married for money and that you're just some charity case playing dress-up in a world you obviously don't belong in.""That's enough," Madison said, standing up. "Cassie, you need to back off."

    Blair's POV"Oh my God," Madison whispered beside me, breaking me from my thoughts. "Blair. What the hell was that?""What was what?" I whispered back, not tearing my eyes off Dimitri."That whole intense eye-contact thing! Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about, Blair," Madison hissed. "It was like watching some romantic movie scene…are you sure you don't have feelings for him?""I'm sure," I lied, and from the look on Madison's face, she knew it was a lie too.But before she could press further, a new voice cut through the classroom."Mr. Diablos?"A girl I vaguely recognized as—Cassie Ashford, daughter of some tech billionaire, always perfectly styled with her blonde hair and designer clothes—stood up from her seat near the front."I had a question about the reading, but I was wondering if I could ask you after class? It's kind of complicated.""Of course, Miss Ashford," Dimitri said professionally. "I have office hours after school as well, if that's more convenient."

    Blair's POVWalking back into Westwood Academy felt almost like a dream. More so because I never imagined I'd be so happy to be back.The last time I'd been here, I was a girl being forced toward a future I didn't want, trapped in a life I couldn't control. And all I wanted was control.Now I returned as someone—different. Stronger, more certain of who I was and what I wanted.Even if that meant wanting my stepbrother."BLAIR!"I barely had time to turn before Madison crashed into me, her arms wrapping around me in a bone-crushing hug that nearly knocked all the air from my lungs."I missed you so much!" She muttered into my hair with a shaky voice, and I let myself melt in her embrace.“I missed you too.”“Just where the heck have you been?”She whined, her face a mix of worry and excitement as she pulled back to scan my face with wide, worried eyes. "Are you okay? Where have you been? I've been texting you nonstop, and you just disappeared and nobody would tell me anything and I saw

    Dimitri's PovI just watched Frozen as I saw this moment unfold before my eyes. He went from ‘you must be married by all means’, to ‘perfect apologetic father’ pretty quickly.Even if he was genuinely sorry…I couldn't help feeling some kind of way about it. He'd managed to calm Blair down a bit, promising never to do such things again.When they broke from their hug, Blair was still wiping at her eyes, and I wanted nothing more than to hold her and tell her that everything was okay. Tell her that everything is over, kiss her softly and put her to bed.Father then withdrew, draining the contents of his glass in one swallow. "The bounty is lifted," he said finally, his voice low and formal."You're no longer considered a traitor to the family. And the Kingston arrangement is officially cancelled."Relief flooded through me, but I kept my expression neutral. "Thank you, Father.”"Don't thank me,” he shot me a wry glare. I guess he still had a bone or more to pick with me. I withdrew a s

    Dimitri's POV"Is that so?" My father's voice was cold."Blair was going to be sold to Trevor like a piece of property," I continued, my voice steady despite my racing heart. "You were going to force her into a marriage where she didn't want to secure a business deal. I couldn't stand by and let that happen.""So you betrayed your family," Valor said."No," I corrected. "I protected my family, just like you always taught me. I couldn't stand by and just watch my sister hurt for too long. What kind of older brother would I be? That's why I had to take such extreme measures...""And in doing so, you've embarrassed me in front of the entire city!" Valor's control finally cracked. "You've made me look weak, Dimitri! Like I can't control my own son!"The smile I managed to put on instantly vanished."Maybe that's because you can't," I said, my voice cold and vicious."You never did, Father. I'm not your weapon or gopher that you can use as you please. I'm done pretending that your actions

    Dimitri's POVThe drive back to Los Angeles felt so unreal. Just over a week ago, Blair and I had fled the mansion as lovers on the run. She being forced to be with someone she didn't want to and I, a bounty on my head.Now we were returning as—what? Heroes? Victors?I wasn't sure, but I knew one thing—this fight was over, and I would never let anything happen to Blair again."Are you nervous?" Blair asked, her hand intertwining with mine over the console."Terrified," I admitted. "Father doesn't handle being outmaneuvered well. And we essentially forced his hand with that press conference.""But he can't touch you now," Blair pointed out. "Not with the Sheriff publicly thanking you.Anything he does here on out will be supervised, for the time being at least."She was right, Father wouldn't be able to touch me, but that didn't ease the tight knot I felt in my stomach. My father wasn't the head of the Diablos empire for nothing.He would find some way to make me pay for the embarrassm
