Scarlett
Chapter 26
Chapter 26 I pleaded with Scarlett to sleep in Clay’s room, but her hesitation was clear. She was worried Lucian would be angry if he returned to find her there. I assured her he had no authority here, not over her, not anymore. “When Clay returns, we’ll figure out a better plan, something that includes you,” I promised. Finally, she went into Clay’s room, though reluctantly, and I stayed in the living room, determined to ensure Lucian wouldn’t cause her any more grief if he came back tonight.Lucian didn’t return until much later, his face a mask of pain, eyes swollen, the anger lurking just beneath his sorrow. He went straight to the cabinet, pouring himself a drink.“I hope you’re happy, Maxwell. Stasia broke up with me.” His voice was hollow, wounded, but I couldn’t bring myself to feel sympathy.“All you had to do was reject Scarlett and move into the next room with Stasia,” I replied, my tone blunt. “You chose not to. Have that on your conscience.”His jaw tightened. “And the bond? And the magic?” he demanded, a touch of anger creeping in.
