In front of them, the creature that had accompanied them stared at them for a long time before leaving, ignoring Beka's demands. "Wait... What does that mean?" she shouted in confusion. The creature disappeared into the night. And so the three of them returned to the kingdom to tell their tale and try to decipher Miresis the oracle's premonitions... The next day, in Newcastle, Felicia Sullivan tried her best to maintain her ordinary life and went to Mrs. Grey's office for work. The news had quickly reached them, but no one understood who this friend was that they had to choose to kill or not. The fragments of the moon, the influence, the dance of the moon. All these mysteries that seemed to

"Tell me about the three children she had then." "They all had tragic endings," He said and narrowed my eyes. "Oh please, you just looked it up on the internet," I accused, and he laughed, which had me frozen once more. He looked really handsome as he seemed to be having the best time of his life. "You got me there," He said, and I smiled, "By the way, did you touch that Cupid statue?" He suddenly asked. "What did the internet tell you about it?" "It's unlucky for young women to touch the columns or the statue," He told me, and I couldn't help but laugh.

She tried to fight off the urge to sleep, but it only grew stronger.

But I kept still, letting him drift off, my thoughts on the clock ticking towards midnight. When his snores filled the room, I eased away, heart pounding with the thrill of double deception. The manor was a labyrinth of shadows, creaking floorboards my only company as I padded down the hall in nothing but a thin nightie that barely skimmed my thighs. Richard's suite was at the far end, the door slightly ajar—his invitation, silent and commanding. I pushed it open, slipping inside, the scent of his aftershave and aged whiskey wrapping around me like a vice.

Every person who had known and had been paid to know and had continued to be paid to stay quiet. Third page. A correspondence record. Internal. Between Leonard Cross and the lawyer who had drafted the amended consortium documents. Discussing the specific approach. The Friday afternoon window. The weekend processing gap. Written in the specific language of people who believed what they were writing would never be seen by anyone outside the room. I read it. The café continued its Saturday morning around us. The woman with the book turned a page. The man by the door finished his call. Two tables away a couple arrived and settled in with the comfortable ease of people who came here often.

"Emmeline, there's no need to dredge up the past. Seraphina didn't have a choice back then. "An unmarried woman with child... If anyone found out, it would've been a death sentence. You helped her. I haven't forgotten that. That's exactly why I'm offering you a proper place by my side now." A proper place? As a concubine? I bit down on my lip so hard I tasted iron. Then Mother laughed, low and quiet. "One of you was my betrothed, promised to me before we were even born. The other was my half-sister, the one I raised and looked after since she was small. And right before my wedding, the two of you gave me quite the surprise."

But this guy insisted to get permission from my father first, than get it all done without it. Gosh, my anxiety is kicking in. I am getting stress because of it. And because I am feeling relentless, I stood from my seat. I am anxious for what is about to happen, especially that I only know the Prince of Dubai for two days, and then suddenly we will get married. This is literal a whirlwind romance! If I am not just so afraid of having debts just like my father, then I wouldn't accept his ridiculous offer. But because my debt is getting big that I wouldn't deny. I couldn't resist it. It's the only solution I am thinking about. Plus, I have nothing to lose if I am going to pretend--I mean, we,

“It’s sad, isn’t it? He could protect her from everyone. The council, his constituents…but not his own wife. They say she was sucked dry when the Lord found her.” I felt my stomach twist inside of me, like a towel wrung dry. What a horrible story. In the end, the concubine died anyway. No matter how much protection and love she had been given. No matter how the king cared for her. She was eventually killed for simply existing. I looked at Vanilla, and at the sight of her smiling face, that sickness in my stomach amplified. How could she be so blissfully ignorant? How could she ignore the fate laid out in front of her?

He said slyly, “She must know what she’s getting into, although I think she already has a faint idea.” “Let this man breathe,” Jade said in Ruben’s defense. “Don’t all kings have concubines?” I felt a sharp pain in my heart, I had to be a virgin to marry while he was allowed to have many concubines. “Let us know, brother, how many concubines do you plan to have in the future?” Belen looked at Ruben and the others appeared curious, eager to hear his answer. When Reuben didn’t answer, Belen continued: “Thirty?” Fifty?”

The bastard's sweat-soaked face glistens under the dim light, his eyes darting wildly. The disgusting pig's enraged. “Stop moving.” I seethe as my hands work to tighten the knots behind his back. The door creaks open, and my eyes snap up to see the concubine slip in. Quietly shutting the door and locking it behind her, she grabs a jagged shard of glass. It glints under the lights. I feel Genovese tense up underneath me but he's the least of my worries now. “What the hell are you doing here?” I demand with a glare.
