CHAPTER 61: LAYING ALL ENMITIES TO REST

REBEL I wasn't really in the mood to shop, but the twins needed new clothes, and I needed distraction. Trailing along after Daniel, the attack, and Louisa—my head needed the peace that only shopping therapy in a high-security zone could offer. I was going through a rack of kids' coats when a flash of recognizably platinum blonde caught my eye. I halted. Catya. I hadn't spoken to her since the last coincidental meeting with Klaus. It had already been soured enough before it became news once more. But this was not the time to waste on previous betrayals or tattered allegiances. Beside her, a little girl of five or six clutched a glittery pink unicorn plush toy. Her daughter. I could see Klaus in her eyes, the angle of her chin, the obstinacy in her grip. Catya hadn't noticed me yet. She sat on her phone, engrossed, her eyes darting towards the windows but never really concentrating. I turned back to the jackets, watchful eyes on the girl. Then I saw them. Two guys, in neu

CHAPTER 62: The Demand

The sun had only begun to set below the horizon, giving the sky a red and purple hue, when I noticed the silhouette at the edge of the courtyard. Louisa. She stood at the gate, arms crossed, in a tightly belted black trench coat over what looked like an expensive power suit, heels dug deep into the gravel as if marking the earth beneath her own feet. Her mouth was a thin line. Eyes collided with mine with the force of a hurricane building on the ocean horizon. I moved in close, feeling the unspoken weight she carried. And the bitter shadow that followed her like perfume. "You came," I breathed, studying her face. There was a sharpness to it now that hadn't been there. Something hard and poisonous. "You said I could come any time," she said, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "Just thought I'd swing by and look at the palace you're ruling right now." I gestured toward the door. "Come in." She walked past me without a word, her eyes skimming over every inch of the fo

CHAPTER 63: WAR

DANIEL The night had just begun to settle, draping the sky in deep indigo and bleeding hints of silver moonlight through the windows of our estate. Inside, everything was as quiet as a grave. Too still.I stood on the balcony just outside my study, nursing a glass of whisky on ice I hadn't really touched. The amber liquid caught the faint light and swirled like liquid gold, but I couldn’t enjoy it. Not tonight while I feel deeply unsettled. Not with everything unravelling.I had thought bringing Rebel and the kids home would settle something in my chest. That invisible war I fought daily with my past and the people who wanted to rewrite our future. But the moment Louisa stormed out of our house with venom in her voice and blood in her eyes, I knew peace was a fantasy too expensive to afford right now. If the opposition doesn't come from Louisa, it will come from my uncle or any other hidden foe who wanted my wealth or her mother's crown.Rebel had said nothing since Klaus left to tai

CHAPTER 64: EDGE

KLAUS The roads were too quiet for a city so alive. The type of silence that clung to your back made you instinctively reach for the weight of a gun holstered under your coat. I stood outside the cafe where Louisa had just entered. She was meeting someone; I didn't know who yet, but I didn't like it. A sensation I'd never felt since the times of the force—before the crown, before Daniel, before betrayal. I was watching the perimeters when the hairs at the back of my neck stood up. I slowly turned, and there he was. Robert. I hadn't seen the son of a bitch since the fire in Spain. He was supposed to be dead—or buried in the ashes of our past. But he wasn't, of course. He was older and wiser, his suit pressed but his eyes tired. He was slouching against the trunk of my car as if we were old friends meeting up again. "Klaus," he said, his voice still as suave. "Small world," Not small enough," I muttered, advancing. I hadn't pulled my gun. Not yet. "Are you following the girl?"
