Signed To Lucien Vale
“When you sign that contract, you’ll be the wife. You’ll wear the ring. Drive the cars. Sit at the tables. I won’t judge you for that. I won’t fight you on it.”
She pauses. In the mirror, our eyes meet, hers colder now, sharper.
“But don’t you dare judge me.” Her voice drops. “Because when he gets tired of your fighting and your pride… he’s going to come looking for the sister who didn’t say no.”
My chest tightens.
“I’ll always be his mistress,” she finishes, unflinching. “Live with it.”
My mouth falls open, staring at her. My heart shatters. This isn't the sister I grew up with. My twin, my other half, is gone. This is a stranger molded and hardened by Lucien Vale's cruelty.
