### Sincerely

The moment I stepped into my room, I shut the door and leaned against it.

For several seconds, I simply stood there.

The sting of Bianca’s slap still lingered on my cheek, but that wasn’t what settled heaviest in my chest. What bothered me was the look on Roland’s face when she demanded I be punished.

He hadn’t defended me. He hadn’t truly defended Bianca either. He had simply stood there, caught between two women and completely incapable of deciding where he stood.

I almost

    ### SincerelyThe air in the tiny pantry turned sharp and still. The doubt that had been gnawing at my mind just moments ago vanished, instantly replaced by a razor-sharp, crystalline focus."Are you certain of this?" I asked, my voice dropping into a dangerous, deadly quiet. "This isn't just kitchen gossip?""I am certain," Nora breathed, her dark eyes wide with the remembered terror of that night. "A few nights ago, long after midnight, I was collecting late laundry near the grand staircase when I heard frantic voices under the stone arches, it was Lady Bianca and Tessa."My jaw tightened at the mention of my former maid's name."They were whispering in the dark," Nora continued, her voice trembling. "Lady Bianca was panicked because you had demanded the Capital Board verify her pregnancy before the Elders. She actually wanted to fake a miscarriage right then and there, but Tessa stopped her. Tessa told her that Dr. Vance’s senior apprentice had a contact on the Capital's lab t

    ### SincerelyA sharp, incessant knocking on the thick wooden door shattered the quiet of dawn, pulling me out of a shallow sleep."Wake up, Sincerely! Get out here!" a voice barked from outside.I opened my eyes, the biting morning air lingering in the cramped storehouse as I sat up slowly to test my leg. To my surprise, the agonizing ache in my calf was gone. I pulled back my gray skirt in the faint morning light, the raw, ugly blisters had flattened out into a pale pink.Roland's salve had actually worked.See? my wolf grumbled softly in my mind, stretching herself awake. Not completely useless."Don't start," I muttered back, swinging my legs over the side of the iron cot.He came all the way out here in the middle of the night just to bring you that, she added, her tone hovering with annoying persistence. The least you could do is thank him—"I said don't start," I hissed inwardly, shutting her down before she could drag me deeper into that dangerous, lingering mate bond.

    ### Sincerely"Roland?" I whispered, my brow furrowing in confusion."Shhh," he breathed, pressing a single finger against his lips.He stepped fully into the dim room, his tall frame catching the faint yellow light of my lamp. Without taking his eyes off me, he reached behind his back and pushed the heavy wooden door shut, the latch dropping silently into place.I lowered the lamp slightly, my eyes narrowing as I stared at him through the dim, amber light. "What are you doing here, Roland? Do you have any idea what time it is?"My voice was sharp, laced with an immediate, defensive edge, but Roland didn't flinch. Instead, he took another quiet step closer into the small space, his gaze softening as he looked at me standing there in my filthy, damp gray dress.It was only as he stepped into the light that my eyes flicked down to his right hand.He was holding a small amber glass jar.Before I could ask another question, Roland stretched his hand forward, offering the jar to me

    ### SincerelyThe rest of the day blurred into a grueling, unending cycle of manual labor.From scrubbing the grand hallway floor on my hands and knees to folding mountains of heavy linens and hauling wood for the drawing room fireplaces, Miranda and Bianca ensured I didn't get a single second of rest. Every task was accompanied by sharp scoldings, snide remarks, and deliberate messes made just so I would have to clean them twice.By the time the sun dipped below the horizon and the main house finally quieted down, my entire body throbbed with deep, bone-weary exhaustion.The head steward showed me to my quarters late that night. Instead of assigning me one of the standard servant bedrooms on the lower floor, he led me out the back door to an old, abandoned storehouse sitting at the far edge of the inner courtyard.The heavy wooden door groaned on rusted hinges as he pushed it open, revealing a pitch-black, suffocating room thick with the stench of rot, dust, and decaying wood.

    ### SincerelyThe sloshing sound of soapy water in the heavy tin bucket echoed rhythmically down the empty grand hallway.Every drag of the damp mop sent a searing pulse of pain straight up my legs. The blistering skin on my calves, scalded by the hot butter sauce, pulled and throbbed violently against the coarse fabric of my gray linen dress. Sweat beaded at my temples, but I kept my rhythm steady.Heavy, deliberate footsteps echoed on the polished marble floor behind me."Scrub those decorated tiles thoroughly, Sincerely," Bianca’s sharp voice barked out, dripping with condescension. "I want every single inch sanitized before my guest steps foot inside. If I spot so much as a speck of dust, you will throw out that water and do the entire hallway all over again."I squeezed the handle of the mop until my knuckles turned white, looking down at the spotless, gold-inlaid floor. Clean thoroughly? The tiles were already so clean you could see your reflection in them. She wasn't givin

    ### Sincerely I squeezed my eyes shut, letting out a long, shuddering breath. The heat burning my calves was still agonizing, but the fire inside my chest had cooled into something far more dangerous. Liquid iron. "Fine," I whispered into the quiet kitchen, my voice dropping an octave into a low, terrifying pitch. "We build the gallows." I turned back to the cold water tap, thrusting my legs under the freezing stream just long enough to numb the throbbing skin. The blisters were rising, red and angry against my pale skin, but I didn't care. Pain was just information. Pain meant I was still alive to watch her burn. I pulled a fresh fillet of salmon from the refrigerator. With calm, surgical precision, I seared the fish, prepared the wild rice, and drizzled the garlic butter sauce over the top. I plated it flawlessly on clean white porcelain, wiping the rim with a napkin until not a single drop was out of place. I wasn't the broken girl crying on the dungeon floor anymore. B
