Irene’s POV My heart slammed against my ribs, each beat so violent I thought it might crack through my chest. I kept perfectly still, barely breathing, as the hand pressed harder against my mouth."Good girl," the rough voice whispered. "Now walk slowly and don't make a sound."He guided me toward the balcony doors, his arm still locked around my waist. My mind raced, searching desperately for an escape, but his grip was too tight. One wrong move and he would snap my neck before I could scream.The night air hit my face as he pushed me onto the balcony. The stone railing loomed ahead, and beyond it there was nothing but empty darkness.My stomach churned uneasily. "Here's what's going to happen," he said, his voice still low but no longer whispering. "You're going to jump and die. I've already written your suicide note.”He laughed, like anything was funny. “It’s very touching, really. All about how you couldn't bear the shame of being the King's whore. Everyone will believe it."
