Dacre’s povI was in the bath having my hot bath as I relaxed at the steam rising up.This was just what I needed. Nothing more. Just this and I liked it.When I was done, I grabbed my towels and walked out into my room to see my mother pacing around there.“What do you want now?” I asked as she looked at me in fury.“You stupid fool,” she growled. “You think you can counter my orders in my own house? You fire Carla? If you want to play that game, Dacre, you’d better be prepared for war.”“First off, it’s my house,” I corrected her. “You have your house. You should go to that.”I saw her mask slip as she frowned even more, this time with helplessness.“Also, war, mother?” I said, my voice calm. “It didn’t start when I fired Carla. It started the day Katherine disappeared. You just didn’t know you were already in it.”Her eyes narrowed. I could see the calculations going on behind them. She was getting used to me being the frustrated son, the one who moped and punched bags. This calm,

Dacre’s povI looked up and used my towels to clean my forehead.“I asked for the head maid. Not you. Go and call her.”A thin, superior smile touched her lips. It was the same look Renee got when she knew she’d won a point. “I am the head maid now, sir.”The words didn’t register at first. It was so absurd I almost laughed. “What did you just say?”“Madam Zelda and Miss Renee felt a… change in management was necessary. I’ve been appointed head of household staff.” The anger that had been a steady burn in the gym suddenly went ice-cold. What did she mean? So first off Katherine has run away then grace was removed as head maid. Something was definitely going on. “My mother. And Renee.” I said it slowly, letting each word land. “They appointed you. Head maid. In my house.”“It was felt that a fresh perspective was needed,” she said, her chin lifted. “To better align with the family’s future.”“The family’s future,” I repeated, my voice dangerously quiet. I walked slowly towards her

Dacre’s povThe air in the garden was too still. Too heavy. I took the smell in and felt the roses and freshly cut grasses mock me.Staying in the house was a bother for me. I preferred staying in the garden away from my mothers prying eyes.i looked around as I saw that while I had been off commission, my mother had turned this to her domain. With every bush trimmed into submission, every flower bed a riot of color that somehow felt… orderly and wrong.I couldn’t stand the house. The silence in there was worse. It was a silence that screamed of her absence. So I’d come out here, to the white gazebo where the little white flowers were finally starting to bloom. Our spot. Mine and Katherine’s.I sat in the bench as it freaked under my weight. I remembered when we had stayed here during my break and I had enjoyed her company. I had been a terrible lover and I regretted why I had gone ahead to make her life even worse than it already was.It didn’t make sense. None of it. Disappear? With

Dacre’s povThe first thing I noticed was the pain. It wasn’t really strong pain any more, just a dull throb, deep in my chest and left shoulder. The room was too bright. Someone had opened the curtains again. I’d told them not to.Another day then. Sunlight poured over the ludicrously thick rug on the floor. Little motes of dust swam lazily in the beam, making more use of their existences than I was currently doing with mine lying here on the bed being healed.Which is basically a polite way to say “wait, don’t do anything”.Without a knock, the door just opened. Obviously. It’s our house according to her.She was there, against the doorway light showing softly behind her. Her eyes scanned over me like I was a piece of art that had been badly damaged and poorly restored. Disappointment washed right off of her."The financial advisors were here this morning," my mother said, not quite entering the room. Just her head poking through a crack in the door. "I told them to go."I didn't re

Katherine’s povThe moment I got there, I saw him sitting on the porch as I ran to hug him.“Are you okay?” I asked while he nodded with tears in his eyes. I didn’t wait as I got out my key and opened the door to let us in.I couldn’t believe all this rubbish had been going on and it was now he was calling me. Where was he? He had left my place weeks ago and throughout that time he was being maltreated why didn’t he call me? Why was he showing up now?"Jordan?" I said, too sharply but surprise does that. "What are you… get in here. What’s wrong?"He didn’t look at me, just rose and we snatched his bag and he went out ahead of me into the living room. The air around him was charged with it, all static and sad feeling, so I shut the door behind us hard even though there was no one else home to hear.He stood in the middle of the room.Then he sank onto the couch, the springs groaning under him, and he put his face in his hands. His whole body just… folded. It wasn’t loud. There was no

Katherine’s povThe hum of the office was a good sound. It was the sound of things working. Of people being bright and clear, keyboards clacking and a project in its groove. I stood in the doorway to the meeting room as I leaned by the wall to listen in on their conversations. My workers were talking about things that I had no care for but they were my workers and I was trying to build a relationship with them so I had to listen.“—so I told Fred we’d be shipping this week,” said Marcy, one of the old workers before I bought the place, with an assertive finger at her monitor, “and that I think that betas-per-developer charts are going to end up better than years past.”A laugh went around the room. “Alright, alright, enough gloating,” I said, stepping in. They all looked up, a little startled, they didn’t know I had been listening. The last CEO liked silence and fear much better than donuts and actual human conversation. “Seriously, though. I know the last few weeks have been chaos.
