CYNTHIA'S POV

I smoothed my hair and took a deep breath before turning the handle to the master's bedroom.

My cheek still stung from where the air had cooled the heat of our confrontation, but I knew how to play this.

Rage was a fire, and I had decided to be the rain.

The main light was off, but the bedside lamps were on, illuminating the room cooly.

Kane was sprawled across his silk duvet, his arm thrown over his eyes as he's chest rose and fell slowly.

The room smelled of expensive cologne

  • In Bed With My Fiancé’s Father   Chapter 117

    LUCIOUS’S POV"Hey, hey. It’ll be okay."The more Olivia whispered the words to me, the more I felt like it would in fact not be okay. They just wouldn't be okay, and I knew it.But I just couldn't tell her that. Not now. Not after we just gone from the hospital only to learn that what? My son had escaped like a maddened criminal.Olivia is pregnant, and the last thing she needs is to feel the same panic that’s been clawing at the back of my throat since this whole nightmare started.We were standing in the middle of Kane’s bedroom. It was a disaster zone. The TV was a spiderweb of shattered glass, clothes were strewn across the floor like someone had been searching for something they couldn’t find, and the air smelled like stale sweat and anger. The maid had been shaking when she told us how he’d been acting for the last few days. Apparently, he’d been dunking his head in the tub and pacing until the floorboards groaned.Olivia walked over to the window, her hand resting on her bump,

    KANE’S POVYou know when you’re sure you’re going to go crazy, so you just like... go crazy? Hah! Yeah. That’s what’s going on with me.Ever since Virgil came to visit me and literally let me realize I was locked up here with just my mind. Just my mind and my fucking regrets!Day three was when I really lost it. The room felt like a coffin lined with silk and expensive wood, and the silence was just so loud. I couldn't take the hum of the TV anymore, that mindless talking heads crap just kept drilling into my skull, so I threw a chair through the screen. Glass everywhere. Then I started on the lamps. Then the nightstand. I think I have claustrophobia now, or maybe I’ve always had it and this house just finished the job. Doesn't matter. My hands were bleeding, the rug was ruined, and I didn't care.Since then, it’s been a blur of me dunking my head into the bathtub and holding my breath until the spots behind my eyes turn into fireworks. It’s the only way to feel anything other than th

    VIRGIL’S POV"Fuck that bitch," I muttered as I stepped out of the station, heading to my car and slamming the car door hard enough to rattle the frame.I hated it ewhen a bitch makes me angry. And I hate it even more when a woman makes me call her a bitch.But God, Cynthia is a special kind of stupid. Standing in that grimy room, breathing the same air as her, made my skin crawl. She is greedy and hollow and has no idea how deep this hole goes, like what did she think was going to happen? Very easily poison Loucious? Just like that?I pulled out of the precinct, the city traffic blurring into a mess of taillights and noise. My hands were gripping the wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. I hated this. I hated that it had come to this. I know it was my job to clean shit up as the lawyer of the Salanders but this is not just any clean up.It's not like Lucious hasn't been targeted before but those people were easy to erase. This was his supposed son, and his damn brother. So what th

  • In Bed With My Fiancé’s Father   Chapter 114

    CYNTHIA’S POVThe next morning started with the cold and the sound of heavy boots approaching my cell. I had spent the night curled in the corner of that miserable bunk, my black eye throbbing in sync with the leaky faucet in the corner. When the guard grabbed my arm, he didn't offer a word, just a forceful shove that sent me stumbling into the hallway. I managed to glance at Gustov’s cell but he wasn't in there."Keep walking," the guard grunted, his hand firm on my shoulder.I didn't argue, I didn't have the strength to. I just followed the path, my mind desperately trying to construct a narrative. I didn't know anything. Gustov was just a friend. Kane was just a boy with issues. I ran these lines over and over until they felt like the truth.When we reached the interrogation room, the air was different. It was stale and charged with a quiet, predatory tension. The table was bolted to the floor, and the chair I was pushed into was hard, cold, and designed to make me feel small. I sa

  • In Bed With My Fiancé’s Father   Chapter 113

    CYNTHIA’S POVThe drive from where we were picked to the station didn't even take as long as I honestly thought.The cell however was almost like a goddamn prison. Damp, cold and just with a gross aura about it.Now, every time I blinked, my left eye pulsed with a sharp, sickening throb. Gustov had punched me right as the officers were shoving us into the intake area, his rage spilling over because the plan had crumbled. Because it was my fault.My skin felt tight and hot, the bruise already blooming into a dark, ugly violet, but I couldn't bring myself to hate him for it. He was just under so much pressure, it's not his fault.We both were. He was an intense man, a man who felt things with a violence that could sometimes be overwhelming, but It was okay because I knew he didn't mean to be cruel. He was just agitated, and I was the closest thing to him.Unfortunately the police didn't understand, so they separated us immediately. Gustov was in the single cell directly across the narro

  • In Bed With My Fiancé’s Father   Chapter 112

    KANE’S POVThe silence in my bedroom was suffocating. I meant my old bedroom in my father's house. For some reason I was brought here.I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the polished mahogany of the floor, listening to the heavy thud of boots in the hallway. Guards. My father had stationed them outside my door like I was a common criminal instead of his son or whatever I was supposed to be.It's so crazy, the one thing I thought I was in my life, I wasn't. I wasn't a Salander. That revelation still felt like a bruise on my soul that refused to heal.I looked at my hands. They were trembling. Everything I had worked for, every back I had stabbed, every lie I had told, had culminated in this. I thought about Olivia, I thought about the way she looked at me in the parking lot, the look of pity that was a thousand times worse than the rage I had expected. I had cheated on her, replaced her with Cynthia, and then tried to turn my father into a vegetable. Why? Because I wanted the com
