Impatiently, he said, "You rifled the closet? How dare you, Wisteria! I told you, Yvonne's stuff is off-limits! Change out of that gown and get back in the kitchen! You're an eyesore!" I scanned the fence-sitters. The ones who spewed nonsense. Then, I stared at Jackie. So I wasn't even worth being recognized by him. I was nothing but a mad housekeeper he could insult at his fancy. One of his old projects caught on fire and killed dozens of people. The army of the bereaved surrounded his company 24/7, demanding blood for blood. I used my family's power to keep the crisis at bay and even suffered a knife wound that was meant for him.

Picking up the phone, Xavier tried to contact Grace. Xavier called several times, but Grace's number was off. Somehow this made Xavier worried. It's been almost one month her lover has no news. Xavier pressed his phone again, this time it was Noah who he called. Just the first ring, Noah's voice immediately answered swiftly. "Hello, Xavier, what's up?" "Noah, can you find out where Grace is? Track her down, I want to know where the shoot is." Xavier said. A bored gasp could be heard from the other end of the phone, but Xavier ignored it. Even though he knows that Noah doesn't really like Grace too much, his right hand always does his bidding.

It felt like someone grabbed my heart and squeezed. The suffocating pain made my vision blur black at the edges. "Ginny! Daddy's here! Wake up!" I screamed until my throat tore, snatching up a brick from the ground and slamming it against the driver-side window. A loud crack split the air. Spider web fractures spread across the glass. The moment she saw me smashing the window, Shanon's shrill voice pierced the air. "Leomund! Have you lost your mind?"

I wrenched the gun away, the butt crashing into his temple, and he crumpled. The last one stood frozen, gun shaking. I approached, steady and slow. "Please, don't kill me..." he pleaded, retreating. "Ah, she never learns," I muttered to myself. I wiped the gun I had picked up from the ground and, without a second thought, squeezed the trigger. His eyes bulged as he collapsed into a growing crimson pool. I strolled back to the wedding car, tapping on the window. The driver, still white as a sheet, swung the door open.

However, he immediately apologized and stopped his questions when he met my unforgiving gaze. Tara, who happened to come home, cursed like a sailor on her way in, "That bitch! I'll make sure to teach her a good lesson if I get my hands on her!" Noticing me, she immediately growled, "Jeanine Colby, how dare you show up again? I'm gonna kill you for real!" Then, she shuffled over to me, thinking I was all alone. She did not notice Preston, who was on his knees behind my car. Preston got up and slapped Tara before she could take a step closer to me. "Who are you calling a bitch?"

The storm inside Antonio boiled over—the best part was that he wasn’t facing it alone. “You want to burn them all—Brother?” Grinch asked. “Start the match—I’ll hold the gasoline.” Antonio’s jaw clenched. He picked up the whiskey bottle, stared into it, like it was a booster, then downed it in one harsh pull. Grinch didn’t leave. They stood there—two men carved from trauma, bound by promise and memory—watching the night for signs of war. ‿‿⁠‿‿‿‿⁠‿‿‿

Without thinking, I pushed the door open slightly and caught a glimpse of the scene inside. A young woman dressed in a delivery rider uniform gently fed Nicholas a grape with her own hands. Then she kissed him on the cheek. “Darling, it’s late. I’m heading out.” My hands trembled as I retreated to the stairwell, the sharp pain from my freshly injured hand shooting through me. The thawed grapes trailed water droplets on the ground. A sudden wave of exhaustion washed over me. Nicholas had told me he loved eating grapes after they’d been frozen.

And she cried—cried her heart out until sleep finally stole her away. Grayson slammed the door of his study shut, the echo of wood crashing against wood vibrating through the room. Rage seethed inside him, raw and relentless. He stormed to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass, hoping the burn of alcohol would quiet the storm in his chest. But as the liquor scorched down his throat, it did nothing—no relief, no numbness. Just more fire. With a growl of frustration, he hurled the glass against the wall. It shattered with a violent crash, dark red wine streaking the pale surface like blood. Shards scattered across the floor, much like his thoughts—sharp, chaotic, and impossible to pick u

But then, my own body betrayed me. ‘GGRRRRRRROWL.’ The sound was deep and hollow, echoing off the marble walls like the cry of a starving beast. The silence shattered. The mortal’s lips curled, a slow, predatory smirk spreading across his face. He didn’t need to say a word. The victory was written in his emerald eyes. He knew that no matter how high my pride soared, I was currently tethered to a stomach that demanded to be fed. He held the leash, and my hunger had just handed him the collar.
