“That was my aunt reminding him about his appointment/ Desmond cut in, voice dripping with scorn. “That man has battled severe insomnia for over a decade. Aunt Natalie always kept track-when his check-ups were, when he needed his medication And now he turns around and parades some young, pretty assistant?”
Kade glanced at me, seeking confirmation. I gave a slight nod,
My earlier examination had indeed confirmed it-Killian suffered from chronic, severe sleeplessness.
Just then, the butler entered quietly. “Ms. Soren, Ms. Hudson would like a word with you.”
1 fottowed him to Natalie’s room. The door was slightly ajar.
I knocked softly. “Ms. Hudson? It’s Nira.”
“Come in.” Her voice was steadier than I’d expected.
Pushing the door open, I found Natalie sorting through a stack of documents at her desk. Her face showed no sign of tears, only faint red lines in her eyes betraying the emotion she held beneath the surface.
“Have a seat,” she said, gesturing to the sofa without looking up./She continued flipping through the papers briskly. “These are Killian’s medical records from the past several years.”
Taking the files, I skimmed the contents.
“You examined him earlier,” Natalie went on, her tone measured. “So I assume you had your doubts as well. I’d like you to review these and tell me what you think.”
I met her gaze. “You suspect something isn’t right with Mr. Hawke, too?”
Natalie’s brow tightened almost imperceptibly. “We’ve been mated for over twenty years. We built everything we have side by sid I know him better than he knows himself.”
Hearing that, I felt my own frown deepen. “So when you reminded him about the therapist… you were testing whether he might an imposter?”
She nodded once. “Yes. And after your examination, didn’t you wonder the same?”
I paused, then decided to be straightforward. “The thought crossed my mind. But during my check, his physiology appeared completely normal. No traces of foreign substances or signs of external control. It aligns with what these reports show.”
For a moment, Natalie’s composure faltered. The hope in her eyes dimmed. “So he really just… fell out of love.”
Setting the file down gently, I moved closer. “Ms. Hudson, a standard examination has its limits. Not finding anything doesn’t nothing is wrong.”

Natatie turned slowly, a faint flicker of hope lighting up her eyes. “You mean… there’s still a chance Killian’s being controlled by some kind of drug?”
“That possibility can’t be ruled out,” I nodded. “But we’ll need more evidence to confirm it.”
Natalie turned slowly toward the window. Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting soft, shifting patterns across her face. “Twenty years,” she murmured, more to herself than to me. “We’ve been bound that long. I refuse to believe he’d just walk away for someone else.”
Sensing she needed space to process, I stayed quiet, waiting nearby.
