The Hybrid’s Forced Bond Chapter 83
Margot POVIt was late by the time I returned to the Vanderbilt House.For once, Rhett was home before me.Under normal circumstances, I would have asked how his day had gone.Tonight, I was too exhausted to do anything except drag myself inside.Rhett was sitting at the dining table, eating a late-night meal.I had a strict daily calorie target. Even when I needed something before bed, I usually kept it light.But the amount of food in front of him was enough for a full dinner.I glanced at the plates.So this was probably another sign that his rut was getting close.“Working late again?” Rhett asked.Then he looked up.“Are you hungry? Come, eat something.”“I’m not hungry.”I sat beside him instead.“How can you eat this much this late?”“I’m hungry.”He set his fork down and studied my face.His brows drew together slightly.“You look exhausted.”I gave him a tired smile.“I am. I’m going upstairs to shower.”“Go ahead.”After my shower, I stretched out on the bed and finally felt

Margot POVI hurried to the headquarters of Hargrave Consolidated.Gerald Hargrave’s secretary met me in the lobby and led me straight to his office.Even in the elevator, I could feel her disapproval.She kept glancing at me with that tight expression, and I didn’t bother pretending I was in a better mood than she was.The moment the office door opened, I saw Simone sitting on the couch with red-rimmed eyes.Gerald Hargrave stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows.Of all the places in the room, he’d chosen the one farthest from Simone.From where I stood in the doorway, the three of us formed an almost perfect triangle.It would have been funny if it weren’t so painfully pathetic.The secretary quietly closed the door behind me.There had only been twice in my entire life when both of my parents were in the same room with me.The first time, Simone had gone to Gerald Hargrave asking for money.The second time was now.And once again, it was about money.The first time, I had been seven

Margot POVHis tone stayed calm, but I could feel the weight sitting on his shoulders.“The PR team is handling the rumors. We won’t erase the damage completely, but most people don’t understand the industry well enough for something this technical to hold their attention long.”He exhaled.“The person behind the post has been identified. We’ll take legal action over the false claims.”I turned toward him.“So you know people online have been making things up about you?”His brow furrowed.“People have too much time on their hands.”I couldn’t help laughing.“Right.”“The important thing is now getting the acquisition finished as quickly as possible.” He looked over at me. “Did the lawyer contact you?”“We had an appointment for the paperwork, but he postponed it today.”“I’m going to speak with him tomorrow.”Rhett’s expression hardened a little.“This is precisely when we need to move decisively. The longer we wait, the more chances Gerald Hargrave has to change his mind. Arian is

Margot POVHe was exhausted.I picked up a towel and walked over, gently drying the water from his shoulders.“You could at least dry yourself properly. It’s still cold outside.”Rhett reached for me.His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me against him before he rested his face against my chest.I felt his breathing slow down .Under my palm, his heartbeat remained steady and strong.Thump. Thump. Thump.Somehow the rhythm settled me too.“You’re tired.”I moved the towel to his hair and nuzzled it dry.“Today must have been awful. At least it’ll be over in a few more minutes.”His voice came out muffled against me.“Tomorrow might be worse.”“Today was an unexpected hit. You weren’t prepared for it, but you handled it.”I ran the towe

Margot POVRichard’s name felt distant now, like something from another life.Back in college, he’d been one of those alpha upperclassmen I quietly admired.We studied under the same professor; both of us were flagged as the standouts in Vanderbilt Dominion. Now he was up in Alaska running a research team at one of the company’s mining sites, working on a project of his own. He’d always been one of the professor’s favorites.The memory made me a little nostalgic for those years.I gave Nora a helpless look.“That’s just manners and class. Why do you make it sound like he’s putting on an act?”I had to admit privately that Rhett could be a little polished.Maybe even a little performative. At least the version that everyone else saw differed from the man I knew.“Of course.” Nora laughed.“The prince is probably perfect in your eyes.”She nudged me with her elbow.“Seriously, you two got so much closer over the holidays. You need to take advantage of that.”A smile touched my lips.“I

Margot POV“I’ve always been careful. I haven’t given them anything they can use against me. The only mistake I made was letting him take away my...”Something about the unfinished sentence made me look down.I didn’t need him to say the word.There were some things neither of us wanted to name.“Whatever he’s planning,” Rhett said, “I won’t let him get away with it again.”I lowered my voice.“Everyone has weaknesses.”“Of course. But why would I expose mine to an enemy?”That made me hesitate.“There is something I’ve been thinking about.”Rhett looked at me.“Spring is coming. It’s getting warmer.”I swallowed.“Your… rut. Is it usually in the spring too?”The transformation in him happened right away. His eyes darken
