SEBASTIAN'S POV

"Sit down."

Selena was standing at the window when I walked into the sitting room. Her back to me. Her hands folded behind her. The specific posture I had known my entire life that meant she was composing herself before turning around.

She turned around.

Her eyes were red.

I had never seen my mother's eyes red before in my entire life.

I sat down.

She stayed standing for a moment. Looking at me with an expression I had no reference for. No category. Nothing in twenty two years o

    ELI'S POV"Kneel down."Sebastian stared at me like I had suggested something completely unreasonable.I stared back."We talked about this for two evenings." I said flatly."I know that." He replied."You said yes to everything." I said."I know I said yes." He replied."So." I said.He looked at the floor for a second.Then he knelt.No drama after that. Just him on his knees in his own room and me standing in front of him and the lamplight warm and low and the house quiet around us.I crouched in front of him."Word." I said."Red." He replied."Good." I said. "Breathe."He breathed.I picked up the collar from the nightstand. Soft leather. Dark brown. Small silver ring. Nothing heavy. Just present.He stared at it."Still good?" I asked."Yeah." He replied. "Yeah I'm good."I fastened it around his neck carefully. Two fingers between the leather and his skin. The silver ring caught the lamplight.I stepped back and looked at him.And I was damn sure I was not prepared for what hap

    SEBASTIAN'S POV"She is withdrawing the filing."Lucas put his coffee cup down and said it like he was reporting the weather.I stared at him. "When?""Her new lawyer filed the withdrawal this morning." He picked his cup back up. "It is done."Eli looked up from his plate.Bianca reached for the juice without looking at either of us.The kitchen was completely ordinary. Toast. Eggs. Lucas's newspaper. Morning light through the window. Tuesday deciding to be Tuesday regardless of everything happening inside it."You knew last night." I said slowly."You needed to sleep." He replied simply. He picked up his newspaper. "You have not slept properly in three weeks."I looked at Eli.He looked back at me with the corner of his mouth doing the thing it did when he was trying not to smile."The board investigation continues regardless." Lucas confirmed from behind his newspaper. "Separate proceedings. She understands that." Another page turn. "She is cooperating fully."The kitchen was quiet.

    BIANCA'S POV"He actually said yes."I dropped onto the floor of my room with my back against the bed and looked at Eli sitting cross legged across from me surrounded by half packed boxes and the specific warm chaos of a room being dismantled."He got down on those stairs and said marry me and you said yes." I noted."We were already sitting." Eli replied flatly."You got engaged on a staircase.""Technically.""While Lucas was dropping things in the kitchen.""Yes.""And I was shouting from upstairs.""Also yes."I looked at him for a long moment."That is the most you two thing that has ever happened in the entire history of you two." I told him.He folded something carefully and put it in the open box beside him without looking up."How are you actually?" He inquired.I looked at the room around me. Three boxes packed. Two still open. My coat on the back of the chair. The lamplight warm and low. One week left in this house and everything that meant sitting in my chest in a way I ha

Looking at me with an expression I had no reference for. No category. Nothing in twenty two years of knowing her face that matched what was sitting on it right now.Then she sat down across from me."I am not going to make a speech." She said quietly. "I am not going to explain or justify or contextualise." She looked at her hands in her lap. "I watched Devon put something in Eli's drink and I said nothing. I signed that contract and I said nothing. I let all of it run because it suited what I was building and I told myself that was strategy and it was not strategy." She looked up at me. "It

    ELI'S POV"Selena is back."Sebastian stared at Bianca's message on my screen and I watched his face do something complicated and fast that he did not try to hide."How long has she been there?" He pressed.I was already typing back to Bianca."How long?"Her reply came immediately."Twenty minutes. She and Lucas are in the sitting room. The door is closed. Sebastian I can hear them talking."I showed Sebastian the screen.He read it.His jaw tightened slightly.We started walking.**************************************************The house was lit up when we came through the gate. Every downstairs light on. Lucas's car in the driveway alongside Selena's which had not been there this morning when we left.Two bags going out.Two bags coming back.We came through the front door and Bianca was sitting at the bottom of the stairs with her knees pulled up and her phone in her hand and her eyes finding us immediately."How long?" Sebastian pressed quietly."Twenty three minutes." She whis

    SEBASTIAN'S POV Nobody moved. The torchlight swept across the glass panel again. Slower this time. Deliberate. Eli was still crouching in front of me with his hand on the remote and his eyes on the door and his entire body completely still. The electrode pads still active on my thighs and stomach at setting four and I was biting down so hard on my lip I could taste blood and gripping the rope behind the chair with everything I had and staring at the back of Eli's head and trying to remember how breathing worked. The torchlight held on the glass panel. One second. Two. Three. Eli did not move a single inch. I did not move a single inch. The setting four current kept running and I pressed my lips together and stared at the ceiling and counted and felt sweat running down my spine and genuinely could not tell if the shaking in my legs was the electrode pads or the specific terror of a security guard standing twelve inches away from a glass door. Both probably. Definitely both.

    SEBASTIAN'S POV“Eill, how about we strick a deal?” I muttered softly, too soft that I almost didn't recognize my own voice.

    SEBASTIAN'S POV I stared at him utterly confused. I just could not bring myself to understand what he was saying no matter how hard I thought about it. “I am confusing you? What exactly do you mean?” I muttered and he scoffed. “You are the one to answer that question. But then again…” He paused

It would ha
