“That’s right. He left my office and came down here to see her. I think… they’re having a sexual affair!” “Well, if that’s the case, King Gene,” Tristan begins, “I think we should rush to her room right now and see what we can discover.” I feel my stomach lurching into my throat. Surely, that can’
*Rose*“Drugged?” I repeat Tristan’s word out loud, mostly to myself. It makes sense, considering how awful Mark looks, but I’m worried. After all, the chef was drugged—poisoned—and she died. “Is he going to be okay?” I ask.“Probably,” Eli assures me, his hand on my shoulder. “It’s probably some ki
“Water!” Eli finally shouts and then rushes off to get me a glass of cold water. I appreciate it, and when I take a few slow sips, it helps a bit.Soon enough, the doctor is there. She rushes in with her black bag to check Mark first, and I lean out of her way. She’s brought one of the nice nurses w

“We know that King Gene wants to kill Rose. That’s not a secret,” Adam says in a rush. “Whether or not he intends to let Barbara come in here and do that, or just take over her place, I don’t know. Why would he want Barbara to seduce Mark? What was his end game?” “To make Rose mad at him?” I guess
*Rose* “You’re so beautiful.” Mark’s voice sounds hoarse and raspy as he tries to talk to me. He reaches over and caresses my cheek. Neither of us have been awake for long. I opened my eyes first, a few minutes ago, and then watched as his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and now his blue eyes ar
