After that, they tried to comer me, but really, they cornered themselves

Lucien’s jaw tightened. He took a deep breath and pulled me closer to him. “His actions don’t matter as long as he’s just trying to convince people to vote against us.”

“You’re underestimating them”

“No, I’m not. I just know my enemy. All I have to do is drive Faye far enough that she’ll be the one who convinces Alexander not to oppose me,” I said calmly in his arms.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, lifting me up and setting me on the table so our faces were level. “What if Alexander refuses her too?”

I patted his cheek. “Then that would be best.”

Before he could frown or complain, I added, “They would lose trust in each other or, worse, they might fight. After all, Alexander is controlling, always wanting authority and power–and I can give him that, so he won’t easily let me go while Faye can warm his bed and give him an heir. There’s no way Alexander will agree if Faye asks him to support the bill I propose.”

He frowned. “If that happens, Faye might resent you even more—and go as far as trying to take your life?

I tilted my head and blinked at him. “Don’t I have you? You would protect me, right?

He froze, then let out a sigh and chuckled. “Does that even need to be asked?”

I laughed and buried my face in his chest. I can’t wait for this to end”

His grip on my waist tightened. “This will end. I’ll make sure you get what you deserve and that they are put back in their place

That bastard. As expected of him.

I crossed my arms. “And you’re just now warning me?”

Kane flinched. “I’ve been trying to keep him from crossing certain lines. But he’s using me–the debt I owe–to stay close.”

I studied him. “So what are you saying? That you’ve been helping him?”

“No” His voice sharpened. “I’m saying I can’t stop him from using my name, from making it seem like I’m on his side. Bus I’m not. I need you to believe that.
