I sat on the sofa and took a yosi. Stress reliever for me. my hands crossed-leg. As I watched her reaction and sat complacently in my Swivel chair. "Deal? " She repeated and her eyes filled with astonishment.

She took one and unwrapped it before she made her way to the room’s door. Jess had not run into anybody yet, but the bigger problem is she had no idea where she was and how to get out of her. As she made it down the hall, two voices could be heard, Jess turned the first doorknob she could find and run into the room. She softly closed the door and pressed herself against the wall hoping that now one could see her through the glass part of the door. When she heard the voices start to become distant, she left out a breath she was holding in. Jessica took a step away from the wall and moved deeper into the room. It was clearly an office. The walls were lined with books, most had medical terms al

After a while, Jessica walked out from the room inside, accompanied by the trembling Lucy behind her. Then, she spoke through gritted teeth, "Don't worry about it, Aunt Hayley. I'll let him enjoy some pain tomorrow!" After she said that, Jessica tightened her grip, and the booklet titled Romantic Son-In-Law and His Beautiful Wife instantly turned to pieces. Then, it flew out like butterflies. When she was in the inner room just now, Jessica flipped through the booklet while listening to Hayley and Caspian's conversation. Jessica did not know why, but as Lucy put back the money pouch where Caspian kept it, Jessica unexplainably kept the booklet.

It was a popular foreign novel, so she flipped through a few pages. However, as soon as she opened the book, she saw a letter sandwiched between the pages, with the words [To Liv] written on it. ‘For me? ‘From who?’ Out of curiosity, she placed the book aside and started reading the letter. The more she read, the more she felt weird about it. Chills ran down her spine. This was the letter that Jess wrote for her before she passed away. ‘Why is Jess’s letter to me with Zac? ‘Why did Zac never give me this letter…’

"She's a slave! No better than the dirt beneath my feet! And she's sitting here at the Emperor's table!" I'm about to respond when I feel Brixtius's firm hand on my thigh, staying me as he replies for me, directing his commentary straight to the Emperor. "My lord," Brixtius starts. "I can assure you that Lady Jessa is not a slave. I would never dishonor your august presence by bringing a slave to any banquet. Especially yours, my lord. It is true, though, that I have hired Lady Jessa to be a nursemaid to your niece, young Eurydice-" Wait? What! "And my house steward. Lady Jessa has been nothing but respectful to my daughter and me," he finishes.

Yet, he’d given her a glimpse of his kindness, and it surprised her that his heart wasn’t as black as she’d first thought. His gaze followed her. Even if she couldn’t see, she felt it by the way warmth tingled across her skin, and the butterflies jumped in her stomach. Not paying attention to what she was doing, she dropped what was in her hand and bent to retrieve it. Immediately, her bodice fell away from her chest and she placed her hand over it. Behind her, Hawk’s voice rumbled deep with a laugh. “My dear, Miss Stanhope. You’re trying harder to keep yourself together than you are cleaning my room.”

She looked at the chains, "What are you doing? You can't..." I smirked, kneeling over her, letting my shadow blanket her whole body. My voice was pure venom, “Oh, Eve… you’d be surprised to see all the things I can do. And tonight, I’m going to show you exactly what that means.” I leaned closer, brushing my lips across her ear, "Now, tell me, who the fuck is Jessa to you?" “She… she’s my cousin. We grew up together at Lanry Side,” she blurted, her chest rising and falling like she was going to choke on her own breath.

****** It's been hours since I moved my things into Octavius's room, and he still isn't back yet. Jannah said we can't link them just in case they are in active battle. She said we don't want to distract them by asking when they will be done. When she said it like that, I felt like a nagging idiot. I am worried about him not wondering when they will be done, but I dropped the subject. Ever since I told her about Garrett's pup, she has been snappy. When we first arrived, her mate, Jake, ran to her like a crazy man. He said he had felt her pain through their connection and was terrified that they had lost one of their pups. That information had shocked me. I didn't even realize her children we
