I watched him walk away, my heart pounding so hard it almost hurt.

I didn’t even know why I felt this nervous or scared, or whatever this mess in my head was.

Roman hadn’t done anything wrong. He had been calm, and polite. But the whole time we sat there, I could barely breathe. My palms wouldn’t stop sweating, and every time his eyes met mine, I felt like my thoughts scattered into pieces. And now, as his back disappeared from my view, I could finally exhale. But it didn’t help. The nerves were still there.

How was I supposed to tell him the truth about Hades and me?

I’d gone over it a hundred times in my head, trying to find the right words, but nothing ever sounded right. Telling someone like Roman that I was involved with his brother felt impossible.

A part of me wanted to just leave. Roman would find out eventually, everyone would. Maybe it would be easier that way, to let someone else tell him instead of seeing his face when he heard it from me, I didn’t think I could handle that. The disappointment. The disgust. Watching someone I genuinely respected look at me like I was nothing more than a woman who’d gone from his nephew to his brother.

The moral part of me, the part that still had a shred of decency left, insisted that I had to tell him myself. Roman and I were not particularly close, but I respected him. And because I respected him, I couldn’t let him hear it from someone else first. But as I sat there, my heart pounding in my chest, his voice echoed in my head.

“I always noticed you. You just didn’t know.”

Noticed me how? What did he mean by that?

I frowned, tilting my head slightly at the thought, but before I could dwell on it, the sharp ringing of my phone pulled me back to reality.

I picked up my phone from the table and glanced at the screen. The name flashing across it made me freeze.

Husband.

For a moment, I just stared, my brain refusing to process what I was seeing. Husband? I blinked a few times, waiting for it to change, half expecting it to be some weird glitch or a wrong number. But no, the name stayed there.

I hadn’t saved anyone under that name. I knew I hadn’t. I just stared at it, wondering who could’ve, then it hit me.

Hades.

This morning, he’d taken my phone, saying he needed to check something. I hadn’t thought much of it then, but now it all made perfect sense. He must’ve been the one who did it.

I sighed, already imagining the smug look on his face, too self-satisfied for his own good, with that possessive glint in his eyes as he typed husband into my contacts, like he was marking what was his.

I stared down at the screen, debating whether to answer. I wanted to ignore it, but I knew better. Hades wasn’t the type to stop calling until he got what he wanted.

My gaze flicked to the counter, where Roman was still ordering. The waitress was blushing so hard it was almost comical, hanging onto every word he said like he was reciting poetry instead of ordering something. I doubted she even heard half of

what he asked for.

I swiped to answer.

Chapter 120

“H-hello-”

“Where are you, princess?” Hades’ deep voice rumbled through the phone, low and commanding.

My heart skipped. I swallowed hard,

I

feeling like I’d been caught doing something I shouldn’t.

My fingers tightened around the phone on my bottom lip, unsure what to say. Should I tell him the truth, that I was in a cafe with his brother? Or should I just leave that part out and hope he didn’t ask?

God, this was stressful.

For a brief second, the line stayed silent, then that amused voice repeated.

“I asked you a question, princess. Where are you?”

I hesitated. His tone sounded light, but I knew better.

“I’m at a cafe,” I said finally, forcing my voice to stay steady.

“I see,” he murmured. “With who? Or are you alone?”

I sighed, my shoulders sinking in defeat. He was toying with me again, I could hear it in the teasing edge of his voice. He already knew exactly where I was, and who I was with.

“I’m with Roman,” I said quietly. “Your brother.”

The silence that followed stretched just a second too long. A tight knot formed in my chest, dread creeping up my spine. Did I just make him angry?

Before I could say anything, he chuckled, and the sound sent a shiver crawling down my spine. It rippled through me like a current. It shouldn’t have affected me, not after everything that happened last night, not after the way he’d left me trembling in his bed this morning. But the moment that sound reached my ears, my body remembered everything.

I squeezed my thighs together, biting back a quiet gasp. God, what was wrong with me?

Hades didn’t even have to touch me, his voice alone was enough to affect me.

“Good girl,” he said, his tone dropping lower.

My breath caught in my throat. My face flushed, heat rising to my ears as I stammered, “W-why?”

“Turn around, princess,” he said simply.

I frowned, confused. “What?”

“He’s already here,” someone said behind me,
