Bethan stood at the threshold, her face a brittle mask of humiliation and buried pain.

Thinking about her mother still lying in the hospital bed, Bethan bit her lip, her resolve wavering as she took a reluctant step inside.

Hugh slipped his arm around her shoulders, his touch deceptively soft, like a velvet glove over steel.

Instead of closing the door, he paused, his voice calm but probing. “Have you made up your mind?”

Bethan fought to quell the storm of emotions raging within her, resisting the urge to shove him away.

Satisfied, Hugh closed the door and steered her toward the kitchen. “Jemma heard you were back and whipped up her famous fish.”

Bethan glanced at Hugh, reading the calculation in his

eyes.

Jemma Shaw, a fixture at Cavill Manor for over twenty years, had known them since they were kids. Her presence was no coincidence.

Hugh had been certain she’d cave.

She met his gaze, her voice edged with defiance. “How’d you know I’d come back tonight?”

Hugh led her to the bedroom, easing her coat off with casual ease and hanging it up.

Then he turned to her and said with quiet certainty, “I knew you’d choose wisely.”

Bethan stood before him, her fire snuffed out, her spirit deflated like a sail without wind.

She forced the words out. “I’m here. Can you get Professor Price for my mom?”

Hugh pulled out his phone and made the call in front of

Bethan’s heart twisted, a bitter laugh caught in her throat.

Sure enough.

Hugh had played every card, waiting for her to fold.

Fiona was right.

She wasn’t the one in the wrong, so why should she sacrifice her future for him?

From now on, their marriage would be a cold transaction, stripped of love.

Bethan pressed forward. “When are you dropping the case against me?”

Hugh didn’t answer. Instead, he took her hand and led her to the bedroom.

Then he let go of her hand before he said, “No rush. Let’s eat first.”

His leisurely tone sparked her temper. 3/6

He sighed, stepping closer to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, his touch deceptively tender.

His eyes softened, a warm glint flickering as he looked at her flushed, furious face.

He shook his head.

“You’re my wife. What do I gain by toying with you?”

He leaned in, drawing her into a gentle embrace, his warm hand resting on her back as he murmured, “As long as you’re here, as my wife, I’ll handle everything.”

His tone softened further, almost coaxing. “Go eat. We’ll

talk later.”

It sounded like a suggestion, but it carried a commander’s weight.

Bethan let him guide her to the dining room, his hand firm around hers.

This man was a master manipulator, cloaking ruthless moves in honeyed words.

After both were seated, Hugh took a bowl of soup from Jemma, tested its warmth, and then set it before Bethan.

Seeing that she didn’t move, he placed it gently down.

“If you don’t want that,” he said, his voice soft but edged with steel, “you can leave now.”

It sounded like thoughtful words, but it was actually a threat.

Bethan swallowed her anger, picked up the spoon, and forced herself to eat, each bite heavy as gravel.
