To find a soulmate in this life was truly a rare gift.
"Aurelia, thank you for everything," Vivienne said with absolute sincerity.
Aurelia shook her head softly. "It was nothing."

Meanwhile, in Northwing Court.
Cedric paced his room, phone pressed to his ear.
"I'm certain of it. The man backing The Underground Casino is the Garland heir."
The voice on the other end fell silent for a moment before replying smoothly, "The Garland family? Now that is a delightful surprise."
Cedric lowered his voice. "We were originally planning to eliminate Gregory quietly and frame Vivienne. But now that the Garland family has killed them, the trap with Marissa is dead in the water. What's our next move?"
"You said Vivienne went to the equestrian club today and publicly beat Kael half to death?"
"Yes," Cedric confirmed. "The entire club saw it. There's no faking that kind of scene."
The line went quiet for a long stretch. Finally, the voice commanded, "Reach out to Kael. See if he's open to an alliance."
Cedric frowned deeply. "An alliance? It seems you're choosing not to inform Caspian about this."
"What do I gain by telling the old man? Dorian just crushed Leland Kenyon in Congress. If this keeps up, I won't have a voice left in the Ravenshire family. Kael's casino is a goldmine. When the god of wealth knocks on your door, you don't turn him away. Kael definitely knows someone set a trap in his territory, and he won't let it go. Handle him carefully. Do not let him find out I am the one pulling your strings."
"Understood."
"How are the spies in Vellmont Lodge adjusting?"
"Don't worry. Everything is going exactly according to plan."
