Chapter 15
Cara’s POV
To save Lucy she tried to sell me off?
My own mother?
So this was why she’d called me back.
Suddenly, my body went weak. Hot. Too hot.
Something was wrong.
My eyes flicked to the wine bottle–and realization hit.
She’d drugged me.
She’d spiked the wine my father once sealed with love.
Was there anything she wouldn’t do?
My pale eyes filled with unshed tears. Not from the drug–but from the way my heart ached.
What did I do to deserve this? Why was I never the one who was loved?
Anna avoided my eyes and turned toward Edward.
“She’s all yours, Dr. Edward.”
He grinned, rolling up his sleeves.
“Come here, little fairy. You look heavenly. I wonder how sweet you are beneath me.”
Anna walked out.

She left me there.
But the moment the door closed–Edward collapsed.
Out cold.
I’d slipped a traditional herbal sedative into the wine hours ago. I might’ve been burning up, but I hadn’t lost my edge.
Still–my head spun. The drug was strong.
I reached for my silver throwing dart…
Not at my waist.
Damn it. I must’ve left it at the villa.
I stumbled out, legs unsteady.
I hadn’t stepped foot in this house since the day I left with just a suitcase.
Now I burst through the front door and headed straight for the master bedroom.
No dart.
Probably tossed out when Jack cleaned up.
The drug hit me harder now–my head swam. My body screamed for relief.
Then–footsteps.
Steady. Powerful.
Someone was home.
My heart leapt.
Arthur?

The door opened–and I stumbled straight into him, hot, breathless, burning up.
He caught me.
His brows knit the moment he saw my flushed face.
“Cara? What are you doing here?”
I hadn’t expected him. Not now.
He wore a black suit, perfectly tailored, still carrying that cold scent of winter.
Without thinking, I pressed into him, craving his coolness, his calm, the firm dominance in
the way he carried himself.
My lips parted. “Arthur… help…”
But before I could finish, he pushed me away.
His voice was ice.
“What’s going on with you?”
I froze.
Right. What was I thinking?
Why would he help me?
“I was drugged,” I whispered.
His jaw tightened.
Of course he’d assume I’d gotten myself into yet another mess.
“Can you take a cold shower by yourself?”
I nodded. “Yeah.”

I rushed into the bathroom.
Behind me, I heard him toss aside his suit jacket.
Then-
“Ah!”
A yelp escaped me.
Arthur stormed toward the sound.
“What now?”
He walked in to find me under the showerhead. Dress soaked. My thin camisole clung to my skin, transparent. My shoulders bare. My skin glowing.
I hadn’t even turned the water on.
I held my forehead, blinking back tears. “I hit my head…”
Arthur paused.
He stepped closer, gently moved my hand. A red mark was already forming.
“How are you this clumsy?”
I’m not clumsy, I’m dizzy!”
“Stand still
“What?”
Without warning, he turned on the cold water.
Ice hit my skin like a slap.
I gasped, then lunged forward–straight into his chest.

“I can’t–too cold!”
My soaked body collapsed into him, pressing against his now–drenched shirt and trousers.
