Eden's POVThe morning light filtered softly through the curtains. My body still felt heavy from the emotional night before. Felix and I had cried and talked for hours on the floor, but I had eventually moved to my own room to sleep. I needed space to process everything.After a long shower, I dressed in something simple and went looking for Daniel. He was in the sunroom like I expected, coffee in hand and paperwork in front of him.He looked up the moment I walked in, his eyes scanning my face.“Rough night?” he asked calmly.I sat down and told him everything — the intense punishment scene where Felix had been forced to watch every single one of them with me, the long emotional conversation that followed, the tears, the apologies, and Felix’s promises to earn back trust.Daniel listened without interrupting, his expression serious and thoughtful.
