ELISE'S POV The storage cabin was empty. For a moment, I just stood there, blinking at the vacant shelves where crates and bags of game should have been stacked high. Everyone else around me shared the same shocked expressions, murmuring among themselves. Everyone was filled FL with disbelief as t
ELISE'S POV I stood rooted to the spot, wondering where it all went wrong. I could hear their accusations all around me. Each whisper, each glare, weighed on me, until the weight felt almost unbearable. "She was working with Marco," one person muttered "It's obvious" "Yes" someone else added "T

FERRIS' POV For me, the feast was filled with forced smiles and hollow toasts. The noblemen all clamored for a spot in my line of sight as usual. Everywhere I turned, one of them was reaching out with some meaningless gesture—handing me a goblet, pouring me more wine, speaking far too loudly about
FERRIS' POV The moment the doctor’s words hit me, everything around me seemed to slow down. Elise… pregnant? My mind raced in a hundred ways. One thing was sure - the child was mine. Elise was my woman and I knew I was the only man she had been with ever since we got together. I had no doubt in m

ELISE'S POV The air felt heavy, like it was pressing down on my chest, making it harder to breathe. My heart raced, as I watched the guards lead Alexandra away. Her head hung low, but she didn’t resist. She didn’t scream or try to defend herself. The sight of her acceptance only made me surprised.
ALEXANDRA'S POV The night was cold as I moved silently through the castle corridors. My mind raced with the thought of what I had to do. The plan was simple. I would go in and kill Elise. My heart pounded with anxiety. This had to end tonight. Elise had been a thorn in my side for far too long, a
ELISE'S POV The cell was... different this time After the attack I had, Ferris ensured that I was taken to a different cell. This one was much better. It wasn’t as dark or damp as my previous one, and the bedding was slightly softer. It also had less guards surrounding the place which made eve
GINA'S POV I stood by the back laundry. My heart still raced, though I tried to calm it. My moment with Ferris replayed in my mind—his words, his touch, the way his eyes seemed to see straight through me. For so long, I’d wanted to be close to him. I’d dreamed of it, schemed for it. He was one of

ELISE'S POV The cell was uncomfortable. No amount of pacing or shifting on the wooden bench could make the suffocating air in here feel better. The walls felt like they were closing in on me. My fingers trembled as I placed a hand over my belly. "I promise," I whispered to the life growing within
FERRIS' POV Eden sat across from me in my study, resting his hands on the table. His newly acquired Gamma badge gleamed on his chest. Ever since Barley decided to act a fool, I replaced him with Eden as Gamma and the head of my security. We discussed who the perpetrator might be and why they want
