The cursor blinked. Blinked. Blinked. Chloe stared at the screen as if she could force the words in her investigation document to make more sense through sheer willpower. Three days had passed since the party, during which she had read the same fragments over and over again, trying to read something else into them than what she feared they meant. Thompson. John. Logistics. Girls. Merchandise. Dubai. She scrolled up to her older entries. Then back down. Then up again. As if that would change…-

A fanfare cut through the babble of voices like a sharp sword through silk. The herald in his colorful tabard stepped forward, his staff banging three times on the wooden platform. "Noble lords and ladies!" His voice echoed across the field. "His Majesty has a joyful announcement to make!" The crowd fell silent instantly. Thousands of faces turned toward the royal box, where King Edmund rose from his throne. Although he was not nearly as festively dressed as he had been at the opening of Parliament,…-

Thompson. John. John Thompson. Are they talking about my stepfather? Her mind screamed, spun, questions exploded. But she didn't let on, forcing herself to take him deeper and making an extra effort to leave no doubt that she was here for nothing else but to satisfy him, that she cared about nothing but giving him a good time. And while her mind was still racing, George came, panting, his hand clawing at her hair, and he spilled himself into her mouth in thick, salty, bitter spurts. As he leaned back…

The zipper of the black dress slid up, and Chloe looked at the result in the mirror. Simple, practical, would disappear into a closet as soon as she arrived anyway. No reason to make an effort. She grabbed her handbag and checked its contents. Keys, cell phone, lipstick, a little cash just in case, the bare essentials. Everything else would be taken from her anyway. Elena's words from the Plaza echoed in her head. "Valeria is involved in more than most people realize." And: "Next time, Valeria will…

The following days passed in a steady rhythm of travel and short stays with hospitable country nobles. The carriage followed the River Water southwest, and the landscape became more familiar with each passing hour. Cosimo's mood remained high. He chatted about the upcoming business in Dusktown, about the wedding preparations for Lorenzo and Innogen, about his plans for the hospital. The matter with the Earl was settled for him and they didn't talk much more about that. Instead, he enjoyed his time with…

"Valentina." He closed the door behind him. "This is a pleasant surprise." "I thought I'd save you the trip to my chamber," she said, rising to help him out of his doublet. "Besides, my room was cool." "Sensible as always." He willingly let her help him and sighed with relief as the heavy fabric slid from his shoulders. "By all the flames of the Martyr, that man has said more words about sheep than I have seen sheep in my entire life. I was afraid he was going to tell me about the birth of every…

"We thank Our loyal lords and the good representatives of the church, the cities and guilds for their service to Our realm," King Edmund said in his deep voice, sounding quite satisfied. "In the past few weeks, you have advised Us well and debated decisions that will secure Sommerland's strength for many years to come. We are delighted with these results." He let his gaze wander over the assembled crowd, and Valentina could have sworn that his brown eyes rested on Duke Cosimo for a moment. "Now…

"Good morning, Windom. I would like to have a word with His Grace, if he can spare the time. In private." His eyebrow rose almost imperceptibly. It was an unusual request, Valentina knew. Her meetings with the duke usually took place in the evening and were generally initiated by him, not her. And certainly not so early in the morning, just before a parliamentary session. "I will convey your message to His Grace," Windom said neutrally and set off. Valentina waited, pacing back and forth. "Why…

Chloe stared at her phone. The numbers couldn't be right. 14,159 followers on Instapic. She rubbed her eyes and looked again. The number remained the same. With trembling fingers, she grabbed her laptop and opened Instapic there. The same picture. Was this a prank by Ben? She opened a new tab and navigated to Hitter. The little blue check mark next to her name – when had that appeared? – sat enthroned above another impossible number: 11,764 followers. Last week it was a thousand,…
