Natalie's POVI remained in Aiden's study long after he had finished speaking, trying to decide what to do with the conditions he had given me. Don't speak to any member of the Moretti family. Don't speak to Lucien.And, most importantly, don't look in Mr. Moretti's direction, approach him, or question him about anything that happened at the event.The more I thought about his demands, the less sense they made.Why was he so determined to keep me away from these people? What was he afraid I might discover if I spoke to them? And why had he singled out Mr. Moretti when he knew perfectly well that the man was connected to everything I had been trying to understand?I could refuse to follow his conditions. That would be the easiest way to show him that he couldn't dictate my every move …But what would I gain from that?Aiden could cancel the trip, and I would lose the opportunity to attend the event. Worse, I might miss the chance to discover something important about the deal he had mad

Natalie's POV Aiden's words lingered in my ears long after he finished speaking.I lay still, pretending to be asleep, but my mind was racing. The hand resting against my waist suddenly felt heavier than it should have, and I had to fight the urge to move away from him.Going against the entire Moretti family? What exactly was he planning?I knew Aiden was capable of doing terrible things. I had seen enough of his behavior to understand that his idea of protecting someone could easily become another person's nightmare. But the certainty in his voice disturbed me more than anything else.He wasn't making an empty threat, he genuinely believed he could stand against an entire family for my sake.Unfortunately, I wasn't sure whether I should be grateful or afraid because the way he tries to prove his love could be dangerous I knew too much about the circumstances that had brought me into this marriage to be fooled by sweet words whispered beside a bed.I had agreed to marry Aiden becau

Natalie's POV Aiden stared at me for several seconds, his jaw clenched so tightly that I wondered if he was trying to stop himself from saying something worse. Finally, he dragged a hand over his head and exhaled sharply. “Finish selecting whatever you need,” he said. “I'll let the tailor leave when he's done.” I blinked at him. “That's what you brought me here to tell me?” “I'm not in the mood to argue, Natalie.” “Neither am I, but somehow, you're making it impossible for me to have a peaceful day.” His eyes narrowed at me then he continued. “Excuse me?” “The man was doing his job. He noticed my hand and asked a question. He wasn't interrogating me, and he wasn't spreading rumours about your precious family. He was concerned.” “Concerned?” He let out a humourless laugh. “He barely knows you.” “Maybe that's why he could ask a simple question without making me feel like I'd committed a crime.” “Perhaps if you had covered the injury, he wouldn't have had anything to ask about.

Natalie's POVI was standing in front of the mirror when Aiden walked into my room without knocking.I turned at the sound of the door, expecting him to tell me the car was ready. Instead, he stopped just inside and looked me over with an expression of exaggerated curiosity.“What's the occasion?”I stared at him, for several seconds, I genuinely wondered whether he had hit his head somewhere between his bedroom and mine.“Excuse me?”He glanced at my dress, then back at my face. “You look as though you're expecting someone important.”“Aiden.”“Yes, darling?”“Don't start.”“Start what?”I set down the lipstick I had been holding and faced him fully.“It's the day of the charity event. The event you've spent the last several days reminding me about. The event with all your precious rules. And now you're standing in my room asking me what the occasion is?”Then his lips twitched and he replied… “Oh, that.”I narrowed my eyes. “Are you trying to annoy me?”“Not intentionally.”“You're

Natalie's POVThe room went silent. Every conversation stopped as the guests turned toward Mr. Moretti, their curiosity evident in the expectant faces surrounding the platform. Even the musicians had lowered their instruments, leaving the hall unusually quiet.Mr. Moretti took a final sip of wine before setting his glass on a nearby table. He adjusted his grip on his walking stick and made his way toward the front.Aiden's fingers remained intertwined with mine…I glanced at him, but his attention was fixed on the older man. There was something unsettling about the faint smile on his face, as though he already knew how the evening would unfold.I turned back toward the platform expecting the announcement to get started immediately “Today is a very important day for me,” Mr. Moretti began. “Over the years, I've worked hard to build this family and establish everything we have. I've made sacrifices, faced challenges, and learned some difficult lessons along the way.” Several guests nodd
