He Chose His Lover and Lost Everything Chapter 10
"Evelyn, I know I was wrong." Adrian held tightly to the silver bars. Smoke rose from his palms, but he refused to let go. "I let my pride blind me. I didn't know how much I had until I lost it. Save me. If you hire the best lawyer and ask a few council members to speak for me, Marcus might help reduce the sentence.”He looked up at me. He looked so broken that none of his old pride as Chief Magistrate remained. "Once I'm out, I'll love you the way I should have. I'll never look at another woman again."I stood outside the cell and looked at the man I had once loved so deeply, the same man who had destroyed me."Adrian, do you remember our child?"His sobs stopped, and he stared at me in horror."That night, when the holy silver got into my blood and I was bleeding on the ground, you chose to carry Lillian away. Did it ever cross your mind that I was carrying your child?"Adrian shook all over. "I didn't know you were pregnant. If I'd known, I never would've—""You would." I cut him of

The words had barely left my mouth when a group of Tribunal guards in black cloaks stormed into the corridor. Each wore a mask that protected them from charms and carried a silver crossbow marked with church runes.Leading them was Marcus Reign, Chief Prosecutor of the Night Tribunal and Adrian's political rival for many years."Magistrate Vaughn, I trust you've been well." Marcus opened an arrest warrant stamped with the Tribunal's blood seal. "A formal complaint says you took money from the Blackfir River Dam and Sunlight Dome repair projects and used it to pay a private jewelry shop's debts. Please come with us."Adrian stumbled back as if he had been struck. He turned to me. "It was you?""All I did was give Marcus that bill. You were the one who chose to use public money to save Lillian's shop."Adrian had thought no one would notice him moving the money overnight. He didn't know that ever since he lost access to my money, my people had been watching every blood seal he signed."E

Caine paused for a second, then held her hand tightly. "Don't be scared. I'll figure something out."He looked at her like he was in love. Adrian had always believed Caine was his most loyal guard. He had no idea that Caine had become another man Lillian could depend on and use.Over the next three nights, Adrian tried to borrow money from everyone he knew. The council members and noble families who used to fight for his attention now refused to see him.One said his vault was being repaired. Another said his wife controlled the family money. A third had a servant tell Adrian he was asleep. The rich and powerful people of Greyharbor were no fools. Everyone had heard I had cut him off. Without my money and business network, no one knew how long Adrian could hold on to his power.When the deadline came, he still couldn't find even a thousand gold pounds.That night was the annual meeting of the Greyharbor Night Commerce Guild. Adrian went as Chief Magistrate, hoping to borrow money from

Adrian frowned. "Settled? What do you mean? Do you know Lillian's shop is in trouble? Take two thousand gold pounds to her right now and deal with it."His tone was not a request. It was an order, as if he still had the right to tell me what to do. It made me sick.I pulled a stack of papers from my bag and put them in front of him. "Read them carefully."The first was a request to end our blood oath. Adrian saw the title, and his face turned cold. He slapped the paper on the table. "You've lost your mind. I won't sign this. Do you think threatening me with ending our bond will make me give in?""Don't rush. Keep reading."He thought that as long as he refused to sign, I could never leave him. But the Night Code allowed me to end our blood oath without his agreement if he had hurt me, taken my money, or caused the death of our unborn child. I didn't tell him that. His refusal would only help me later.The second was a bill that listed every coin he owed me."For three years, I paid for

"Claire, pack my things."She stared at me. "Ma'am, where are we going?""Home to the Lambert estate. Back to my own house."I got out of bed, opened the wardrobe, and packed everything that belonged to me—my gowns, jewelry, deeds, sunstones, and books. It took only half an hour. I left nothing of mine behind, not even the blanket my mother had made for me.The estate that had been my cage for three years now felt empty as a tomb.I took one last look and walked away. The guards at the gate didn't dare touch a Lambert convoy, much less stop a woman who had just lost her baby. Adrian thought his order was enough to keep me there. He had forgotten who paid for his guards, his estate, and his reputation all along.When the carriage reached the Lambert estate in Greyharbor, Arthur and more than a dozen longtime servants were waiting at the bottom of the steps. I took off the bloodstone ring that stood for our marriage and placed it in the box with the broken dawn-prayer silver. Arthur did

Adrian's back went stiff for a moment. Then he laughed coldly. "Threatening to leave me again? Evelyn, this little act is ridiculous."He carried Lillian through the gate and vanished into the fog.I curled up on the freezing stone. Pain tore through my stomach in waves, each worse than the last. Claire knelt in the pool of blood, pressing her hands against my wounded palm and calling for a physician over and over.The physician took far too long to arrive. Caine had taken him to the guest room first to remove the silver from Lillian's palm and clean the poison out of her blood. By the time he reached my room, I no longer had the strength to cry out in pain.When the physician saw the blackened wound in my palm, his face went pale. He cut the wound open to drain the blood poisoned by holy silver, pressed his stethoscope to my abdomen, and then slowly dropped to his knees."Ma'am, the holy silver stayed in your blood for too long. It stopped your body from healing. The baby... I couldn'
