“You dare tell me she went into the courtroom hand in hand with Cupid Godlike?!” I snarled at Veyron. My voice cracked with fury. “Really?!”

He nodded shakily, eyes wide with unease.

“Y… yes, sir. I can show you the picture. It’s already all over the news that they’re official now.”

He pulled out a tablet with trembling fingers and thrust it toward me.

I froze the moment the image loaded. There they were. Cupid and Snow, standing just at the entrance of the courtroom, fingers entwined so naturally it looked like they’d been doing it forever. The sight hit me like a fist to the chest. I nearly collapsed.

Then my gaze snagged on the ring. The diamond caught the camera flash and glittered viciously, mocking me.

zoomed in, heart slamming against my ribs. The ring encircled Snow’s finger, unmistakable, undeniable. A proposal. An engagement. My vision tunneled; I stumbled backward onto the hospital bed, breath coming in harsh, ragged gasps.

Days had passed since they’d admitted me here. I’d been bribing the doctors relentlessly, forcing them to lie about my condition so could stay tucked away in this sterile room instead of rotting in a H.O.W.L. cell. My second hearing was tomorrow. I couldn’t afford to be transferred yet.

‘Call Neils for me,” I murmured to Veyron, voice low and dangerous. “This isn’t right. Cupid isn’t the right man for Snow!”

leyron bowed quickly and dialed Neils‘ contact. As usual, no answer. I snatched the phone from him and redialed myself. Ring after ing after ring. Nothing. Rage boiled hotter. I switched to Ranta, my sister. She picked up on the first ring.

‘Ares, are you okay?”

‘Tell your husband to pick up my damn calls before I spill every secret he’s been hiding!” I hissed, then disconnected before she could respond.

f Neils thought he could lounge in his perfect, blissful life while I suffered, he was gravely mistaken.

We were all tangled in this Dark Alley mess, tied to Feroz. Neils had known Feroz long before the case broke wide open. He was the legal mind Feroz had run to when laundering his drug empire. One whisper of that to Ranta, and divorce would be the least of his worries.

I was still seething, chest heaving, when harsh footsteps thundered down the hall. The door flew open with a bang. My brother–in- law stormed in, grabbed me by the collar, and yanked me forward so hard my hospital gown twisted.

“If you dare call my wife again,” Neils growled, breath hot against my face, “I will kill you myself before they ever get the chance to send you to jail.”

He shoved me back roughly. I stumbled, catching myself on the bed rail. He raked both hands through his hair, panic flashing in his eyes raw, barely contained.

“What do you want?” he demanded.

I didn’t answer immediately. He looked cornered, fraying at the edges, as though something far bigger than me was already eating

It’s about Cupid…”

How about you leave that man the hell alone!” he snapped, glaring daggers. “Cupid isn’t even Godlike anymore. He had a falling- ut with his adopted family, cut ties completely, dropped the name. Why are you so obsessed with him?”

Because he’s dangerous,” I shot back. “He can’t be near Snow. I’m telling you there’s more to him than meets the eye. Didn’t you ear what Feroz said the other day? About Cupid being the one who stole his drugs?”

leils swallowed hard. He stared at me squarely, barely holding himself together, jaw clenched so tight I could see the muscle witch.

I don’t care what Feroz said. None of us do. If anyone posts a malicious story or makes a single comment trying to trash Cupid’s mage, his fans will riot. Beyond that, I already have too much on my plate..

Feroz has vanished, and the tax authorities are digging into his wealth. It’s only a matter of time before they trace me as his legal ounsel. Do not call me again unless you have something tangible. Calm yourself. Come to court tomorrow looking tattered and ober. Alright?”

le turned to leave.

couldn’t let him walk away, not with Snow slipping further out of reach.
