But he never touched me. His fingers merely caught the loose strand of hair that had fallen across my face and pushed it behind me, careful enough that his skin never brushed mine once.

Still, my entire body went cold. Because that level of control somehow frightened me more than if he had grabbed me.

What had I done?

I had slapped him.

I had cornered a man who stood downstairs and watched somebody die without blinking.

    But he never touched me. His fingers merely caught the loose strand of hair that had fallen across my face and pushed it behind me, careful enough that his skin never brushed mine once.Still, my entire body went cold. Because that level of control somehow frightened me more than if he had grabbed me.What had I done?I had slapped him.I had cornered a man who stood downstairs and watched somebody die without blinking.“Listen carefully, piccola.” My pulse staggered unevenly when he leaned closer. Gone was the composed diplomat from downstairs. This voice was darker and I could feel the heat of him surrounding me completely.“At the dinner table, I exercised an extraordinary amount of restraint with you tonight.” His dark stare locked onto mine. “Far more than any man in my position would have.”My lips trembled uncontrollably.“You interrupted me repeatedly.” His voice remained unbearably calm. “You challenged me in front of my staff. You questioned my judgment. You raised your vo

    I sat upright in my bed. And every single time I squeezed my eyes so hard that it hurt, the images kept coming anyway.Pearl choking.Pearl collapsing.Pearl’s fingers bruising her neck while everybody just stood there watching.While I stood there watching.And Enzo.That was the part my brain refused to process correctly. The terrifying composure on his face while she fought for air at his feet caused a shaky breath to escape me.My anger hadn’t disappeared. If anything, it had become worse now that it had tangled itself with what I couldn’t logically explain. I had watched him force her to drink it. I could still hear myself arguing with him. Still remember how sure I’d been that he was wrong.And when she lifted the glass with those shaking hands, I didn’t stop her.The realization burned through me so viciously I suddenly shoved the blanket off my body and stood up from the bed like that sudden movement alone could outrun the feeling.Nothing about tonight felt real anymore. Not

    Pearl’s shoulders stiffened.“Enzo – what are you doing?” Rosalia exhaled sharply. “This is ridiculous.” I rose abruptly, and Pearl’s breath hitched.“There are many ways to be present in a room, and only a few of them require honesty.” Rosalia shook her head once. “What does that even mean?”I looked at her, then back to Pearl again.“Why don’t you show us?” I said evenly, stretching the glass towards her. “Since you’ve had so much opportunity to speak in place of answers.”Pearl swallowed.Rosalia’s confusion deepened. “Enzo, you’re acting like she’s some kind of stranger. I'm even more of a stranger than she is here. Pearl’s been nothing but nice since I moved in. She didn’t do anything strange –”“Exactly,” I cut in quietly. “Which makes it worth checking.”Pearl’s fingers trembled violently the second she reached for the glass. The crystal clinked against itself in her grip while I watched her without expression.A thin layer of sweat had begun gathering near her hairline now,

    She sat by herself at the long dining table, surrounded by half-cleared plates amidst crystal and candlelight, with remnants of dessert still clinging to the black square plate in front of her – the aftermath of a dinner that had obviously finished without me.It hadn't been entirely intentional.The meeting with Theodore Hunt had taken longer than planned, and by the time I returned to the villa in McLean, Washington traffic had turned into its usual organized form of misery.One of the maids hurried forward to place a bottle beside Rosalia, and the second she noticed my presence, she immediately retreated behind the pillars to rejoin the rest.My gaze cascaded over Rosalia briefly.Hmm.How intriguing. A direct refusal this early into the arrangement.Bold.The scent of her perfume reached me before I properly crossed into the dining room. It had something warm rested beneath the floral notes, softer than what she’d worn yesterday.“New perfume,” I observed as my footsteps slowed.

    “Fuck,” I thought, watching Theodore Hunt laugh smoke into the air like his lungs had personally offended him. “How did this idiot end up owning one of the largest media empires in America?”Across the terrace, Theodore leaned into the waitress serving their table, silver lighter dangling between his fingers while he smiled at her with all the dignity of a divorced politician on his third relapse.She couldn’t have been older than twenty-three.In this world, wealth rarely found the right people. It either landed in the laps of fools or stayed buried inside bloodlines too powerful to lose it. Mine was no exception.Washington had always been full of men like Theodore Hunt. Old, rich, rotting from the inside out, and somehow, they still held entire governments by the throat.The rooftop lounge overlooked half of D.C., marble fire pits flickering against glass railings while about three suited officials – whom may be his – drank themselves numb beneath the skyline. I’d heard Theodore w

    A piercing mechanical beep abruptly blasted through the room.I jumped so hard my elbow nearly knocked one of the rectangular mirrors clean off the white-painted vanity.God.I still wasn’t used to this house talking to itself.The sleek black panel near the door blinked once before the automated voice echoed calmly through the suite.“Door open.”I barely had half a second to react before the door slid apart.Pearl stepped inside, and her eyes widened. Mine widened harder.Heat rushed violently into my face as I realized I was still standing there in nothing but a towel. I squeaked something horribly humiliating under my breath and virtually grabbed for the robe slung over the edge of the bed.“Oh my God –”I nearly tripped into the coffee table between me and the bed, trying to shove my arms through the sleeves.“My apologies, ma'am,” Pearl bowed instantly, horrified. “No, no – it’s fine,” I blurted, tying the robe much tighter than necessary. “I thought there’d be more… warning.”

    “But,” I paused my lips, drawing away, “sometimes life doesn’t ask what you want. It just… redirects you. And no amount of wanting makes the path straighten.”Confusion crept up his face. “Are you saying –”“I’m saying I didn’t come here to hurt you,” I interrupted. My chest tightened suddenly. It

    The label wasn’t written on the front like the others, but along the side. I stared at the envelope, hoping stupidly that I had read it wrong. My hand hovered, then closed around the envelope, lifting it slowly from the drawer.This wasn’t recent. The paper was worn, handled more than once. Whateve

    This was my father’s house and I knew where the stones didn't fit, where hedges concealed narrow paths the guards never bothered with. I knew the blind spots created by an old apple tree and a wooden door.I moved when the perimeter guard turned the corner, counting his steps the way I had as a chi

    I turned away first not because I was ashamed, though maybe there was some of that. I dragged in a breath and fixed my attention on the bed, on the pale light leaking through the curtains, on anything that wasn’t the weight of his presence behind me.I acted as though nothing had happened and I had
