Chapter ElevenMarlowe Sage Kunetsov I stared at the door. I wasn't exactly staring at it. I was staring through it, staring into space. I could not feel, I could not think, I couldn't do anything.I was stuck in a state of limbo. My mother was dead. Mikhail had known this whole time and he had let me think she was still alive. Tears started to run down my face again and I buried my face in my hands as I cried. I was not sure which one of the things I was feeling was worse. The devastation from losing my mother and being completely alone or the thought of how she had died. My mother had been sick. She could have fallen down the stairs or she could have hit her head in the kitchen or the bathtub. She could have been in a situation where she was hurt and been unable to get help. I cried harder. The devastation was consuming me. I heard a knock on the door. I didn't give a response. A new maid had come. Her name was Leah. I hadn't said a word to her when she brought in my breakfast

Chapter Twelve

Chapter TwelveMarlowe Sage Kunetsov I held my elbow to myself the entire ride. I kept my eyes on the window as I studied the streets we drove through. In my years of being in this city, I had never been to this part of it. It suddenly clicked to me that there was a real possibility that I was no longer in New York. The environment just wasn't the same. And this meant I was farther away from my home and everything I knew than I thought. I wanted to ask Mikhail, but I didn't want to say anything to him. I took a deep breath and slipped my feet out of the heels. I didn't want to push myself more than I needed to and for longer than I needed to. “You need to fix that frown,” Mikhail spoke for the first time since we got into the SUV. I stiffened, feeling hatred burn through me. “You're my plus one tonight. You cannot embarrass me, so sulk all you want, but you need to pull yourself together before we get out of this car,” he said with a sickening level of arrogance. I couldn't help

Chapter ThirteenMarlowe Sage KunetsovTwo hours later, Mikhail finally stepped away from me. I knew he would not be pleased with what I was about to do, but I was too suffocated to try to sit still any longer. Besides, the most important part of the gathering was over. I hadn't necessarily been listening, but his competitor had made a stunning presentation of an Artificial Intelligence set-up he had created exclusively for students. He had charmed the audience and he had had them laughing at every one of his jokes. I could not see Mikhail doing that. He was way too broody. I made my way to the elevator as quickly as I could, ignoring the lady at the entrance of the hall as I moved past her. I clicked the button for the top floor and leaned against the wall of the elevator as it gradually ascended. I managed to keep my thoughts within the confines of the break I needed. I didn't let it go to all my problems beyond the walls of the elevator. The elevator dinged as it arrived and I

Chapter Fourteen

Chapter FourteenMikhail RomanovI climbed out of my bed at midnight and pulled a black tank top on. I had been restless, for a reason I couldn't possibly fathom, and frankly it was driving me crazy. I put on a pair of headphones and adjusted my loose joggers. As I walked down the hallway, I paused in front of Marlowe's room, wondering if I'd hear any sounds. Maybe she'd keep me company. When I heard nothing, I chuckled at how ridiculous the thought was. She wouldn't have any interest in keeping me company and even if she agreed to it, she would be shivering or glaring at me. I ran my hand through my hair and made my way down to the living room area. I grabbed a can of soda out of the refrigerator and headed out. I was surprised I didn't see Maxim outside on one of his antics when I got to our shared living room. For a second, I considered going to his wing to check on him or get some company, but I remembered that he was still healing.I made my way out to the garden at the back o
