I was just handing her my card with a hand pushed it back and handed her a different one. "What are you doing?" I demanded as Wolf gave the woman his card. "I'm paying." he said simply. "No! That's all our dresses, Cassy's and mine too." I protested and he smiled. "I know. I wasn't going to insist on paying for them but since you demanded to pay for Foxy's, I can't resist." he replied calmly. The clerk looked hesitant but he glared at her and she took his card despite my protests. "Why are you doing this?" I snapped as she handed him the slip along with the dress bags.

She slapped down some documents onto my table and I pushed it aside without still glancing at her, resuming my work. "You're in a bad mood" She sneakily remarked. "Does this have to do with your mate rejecting you?" "That was her mistake. Not mine." I snap and glance up sharply to glare at her, and the smirk on her face vanishes on meeting my eyes. "Are you done being snarky, or do you have any important thing to say." "Well, the elders sent this" She pushed three files towards me, and since they were from the elders, I had no choice but to reach out and grab them before flipping each of them open.

The ache between my legs pulsed once more,the game had only just started. I decided to stay in tonight. It was the weekend. No work left. I ordered drinks to keep myself company, but they still hadn’t arrived when my phone rang. It was Richard. “Come downstairs. I’m waiting in your driveway.” His voice was low, edged with the kind of quiet dominance that left no room for refusal. “No. I want to stay home tonight. I’ve finished everything. Most of your meetings are already booked for next week.”I replied, whinnying.

Marx caught my eyes and snapped, “Don’t look at me like that. I don’t need your pity, Ms. Jordan.” “It’s not pity, sir,” I replied instantly, but then I felt bad about lying. I did pity him. I felt a deep sadness I couldn’t hide to know he was battling a disease he knew he couldn’t beat. “Whatever it is then, stop it,” he ordered, shutting the door firmly behind us. “Get over it, Ms. Jordon. I am. Now, what have you got for me today?” I lifted the files. “I just need your signature on these. They’re the credit agreements and some acquisition plans for the client intake by the new recruits last quarter.”

The rusted lock had already been forced open by Gideon's blade. ​Inside lay a tightly folded parchment, a small silver cloak clasp, and a narrow strip of dark blue velvet embroidered with a crescent moon. ​I carefully unfolded the brittle parchment. The handwriting was faded, written in dark iron-gall ink: ​Lucien Everhart formally refused the exchange. He swore on his life that the child would never be delivered to the Order. We warned him that his refusal would cost him his entire family and line. He answered that he had already lost everything worth keeping.

He states with a lopsided grin on his face and I wanted to smack it off him. He knows it pisses me off yet it doesn’t stop him from doing it. It was as though he was testing my limits to know when I’d explode on him or something. The fucker was a troublemaker and a fight maniac but I wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction he was aiming for. I scoff, leaning back into my black leather seat, my elbow winning over the arm rest, sighing. “Did you get what I asked for?” His face straightens as his demeanor shifts from a casual font to being completely solemn then he clears his throat. “Of course, everything on Morelle Reyllis.” He drops a brown folder on my desk and it slides down to my end. “

"Mrs Stark, you don’t have to do this, I’m fine." To have him feeling at ease, get him to drop the formalities, I murmur with a laugh that sounds fake to my ears, "I know but consider it payment for taking too long to contact you." His eyes twinkle with gratitude, I smile. I understand his reluctance to accept it.

“Eventually.” The silver hum deepens. I feel the veil listening. “What do you want?” I ask. Elias exhales, as if relieved. “An agreement.” “No,” Lucien snaps. Elias raises a hand. “Not with you.” He looks at me again. “With her.” My chest tightens. “I don’t make deals with people who don’t respect consent.” Elias’s eyes gleam. “You misunderstand. I respect it immensely.” He reaches into his coat and withdraws a folded document. Old paper. Thick. Heavy with intent.

I stared at the words, knowing they carried too much heat. I deleted them and began again, this time writing something overly polite, the kind of response that almost sounded like a deferral rather than a refusal. Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, I cannot commit at this time, but perhaps we can revisit the possibility in the future. I read it back and shook my head. It was dishonest. I did not want to revisit it in the future, not under those terms.
