Lily's POVBrittany stood in the hallway with concern on her face, a warmth she deployed when she needed something to seem genuine."I heard what happened," she said, looking past Diego to where I'd appeared in the hallway behind him. "Lily, are you alright? I was so worried, I came straight over and tried the—""Why did you try the old password?" I interrupted. I didn’t care. I felt something spark in me. Rage.She stopped abruptly."I told you Diego had changed it," I said, walking toward the door. "I told you, the day I saw you here. I told you specifically that he'd changed it to my birthday." I tilted my head. "So why d

Lily's POV.He was already up when I came out the next morning.Not unusual. Diego was almost always up before me, cooking and doing the necessary chores he needed to do, or watching the sunrise over humanity with misanthropic eyes. But this morning had a different feeling to it. He was at the island with coffee he hadn't drunk, looking at nothing in particular, and when I came in he looked up, swiftly changing his expression to look cold again. If I hadn’t been studying him, I would’ve thought he wasn’t pondering over something. He’d been like this since Frank called yesterday to tell him about their father’s birthday. He hadn’t given me all the details, perhaps because there was none to give, but I knew he was invited to his father’s birthday, and it didn’t sit well with him. My mind darted to the day Frank came to us at that charity gala. Did he know Diego would’ve been invited anyway?I poured my coffee and sat across from him, a smile plastered on my face."Tell me what to expe

Lily's POV.The dining room seated thirty and we were twelve, which meant the table's shape did most of the talking before anyone opened their mouth.Frank was at their father’s right. Frank spoke to him first between courses in fits of cheap conversations, laughed at things he said even when they didn’t warrant it, and sought his opinions on “business matters.” He scolded him though, but if Frank wasn’t pleased by the embarrassment which even I found embarrassing, he didn’t show it. He’d do anything for his father’s approval. That was obvious by now.I and Diego were four seats from the end of the table, almost segregated like outcasts. I suspected that this had something to do with Frank, as it was too coincidental, but when Diego tried to speak against this, I stopped him. We didn’t need to create a scene over something so trivial.Richard was midway down, seated between two of the cohort, talking to them deferentially, but more relaxed this time, positioned where he could hear bo

Lily's POV."Lily." Frank’s voice came from behind me. "I was hoping to catch you alone.""Were you," I said, turning around to face him. He gave a small, warm smile. "I just wanted to talk, if you have a moment."Well, isn’t this shocking? I thought. I nodded and followed him. He set the pace, leading me down the lawn outside the villa. I wasn’t sure of what he wanted to talk about, and although I wasn’t interested, I still loved me some entertainment, especially with Diego disappearing right after I woke up.He talked about Diego.How he'd always hoped Diego would find someone. That their history was complicated and he didn't expect me to understand all of it. That Diego had a way of making people feel like the only thing in the room right up until they weren't.I listened and said very little and watched him while listening.What does he want? That was the only thing on my mind while Frank spoke carelessly. Did Richard send him? To rattle me?Well, I sure was rattled, wasn’t I?He

Diego’s POV.Lily stilled for a moment, then she looked up to meet my father’s intrigued stare, before moving from face to face."Perrin's going to raise on the next hand regardless of what he has," she said. "He's been sitting on the same stack for minutes and it's bothering him more than he's showing." She glanced at Isadora. "Isadora hasn't touched her drink since the second hand, which means she has something she doesn't want to affect." She looked at Aldric. "And Aldric…you’re asking me questions to see if you can break my concentration, which suggests your hand is better than you've been letting on."The table went quiet for a second.When Aldric laughed, it was of delight. Lily had read him completely right, which meant she was right about all others, and he found it interesting unlike others who squirmed with embarrassment.“Diego! She’s a very clever one, your wife!” Aldric clapped as he looked at me. Something swelled in my chest as Aldric praised Lily.Her gaze found mine at
