Lilith’s Pov I just stared at him after he tucked that strand of hair behind my ear. There was something about his touch that felt warm… but still, I didn’t forget what I saw earlier. How he grabbed Polly’s neck.He looked at me, his eyes searching my face like he was afraid of what he might find there.“Are you still angry with me?” he asked softly. “Please forgive me.”I blinked slowly, holding back the words in my throat. “You don’t touch women violently, Nolan. You don’t beat anyone.”He nodded, shame crawling over his features. “I know. I was just angry—”“Angry?” I cut him off, narrowing my eyes. “So if I ever get you angry, what happens? Are you going to hit me?”He stepped closer, cupping my face so gently that I felt a jolt of confusion. “No, no, no. Don’t think that of me. Please,” he whispered. “I would never, ever hurt you. Not you.”I studied him. The way his brows creased, the tightness in his jaw, the way his hands trembled ever so slightly.“Even if it’s not me,” I mu

Lilith’s PovIt was a new day, and for some reason, I felt... good. Peaceful. I couldn’t quite explain it, but this strange calm had settled over me. Maybe it was the weather. Or maybe it was just the simple joy of waking up without a headache, without confusion clouding my thoughts.Or maybe it was Zara.She made everything feel lighter.

It just popped out of my mouth like it had been waiting there for days.Polly

Lilith’s Pov I woke up to the sound of soft breathing beside me.At first, I didn’t want to move. I wasn’t sure where I was, for a second. Then it all came rushing back—yesterday. The café. Killian. Nolan. The medicine.And then… Nolan’s face.He was right there beside me, sleeping. Peacefully. So still.I turned slightly to my side, just enough to look at him without waking him. My mind was still circling around what I saw him doing the night before. That image of him with the syringe and my syrup it hadn’t left me. I kept hoping maybe it wasn’t real. Maybe I was just seeing things.But deep down, I knew I wasn’t.Then, as if he sensed me watching, Nolan’s eyes fluttered open.“You’re awake,” he murmured softly, his voice groggy but smooth. He sat up against the headboard and leaned over to press a kiss to my forehead. I didn’t flinch. I stayed still.“Good morning,” I said, my voice careful.“Good morning,” he echoed.I watched him for a second, uncertain if I should ask the questi
