The cafe was so silent I could hear the faint ticking of the wall clock. If a pin dropped right now, I was sure it would echo through the whole place, and honestly, I wanted it to. Anything to break this unbearable tension pressing against my chest. But no, it stayed painfully quiet.

I bit my lower lip, a nervous habit I’d never managed to stop. My palms were clammy against my lap, and I could feel every pair of curious eyes in the cafe glued to us. It wasn’t every day people got to witness a Sinclair family drama up close.

When I finally looked at Roman, I almost wished I hadn’t. He looked the same, composed, expressionless, that same unreadable calm that somehow felt more intimidating than anger ever could.

I’d thought my confession would draw shock or disgust from him, but he just stared at me quietly, like he was trying to read me. Then his gaze shifted to Hades.

I didn’t even need to look to know he was still wearing that infuriating smirk. It was always there when things were tense, like he thrived on discomfort. And God, the fact that he found this amusing made me want to strangle him.

The silence stretched, before Roman finally leaned back in his chair. “How many months?”

I blinked, confused. “What?”

“There’s a reason you’re marrying my brother, right?” he continued, tone matter-of-fact. “If you accomplish whatever it is you want, you’ll leave. So, how many months or years are you planning to stay married to him?”

I just stared at him. I didn’t even know what shocked me more, his assumption that it was all temporary, or how casually he said it.

The truth was, he wasn’t wrong. I hadn’t it thought that far ahead. What I had with Hades was never meant to last, it was a deal. not a fairytale. But hearing it laid out like that hit harder than I expected. I didn’t know what came next. If I got my revenge, if I gave Hades what he wanted, if there was a child, then what? Would it all just end? Would he let me go, or would he want me to stay?

Hades leaned forward slightly, voice dripping with amusement.

“How many years?” he repeated. “Why are you asking, Roman? Planning to be with her when our relationship is over?”

My head snapped toward him, eyes wide. His expression hadn’t hanged, but his eyes were cold.

“Hades,” I said, frowning. “What are you saying? That’s not what he-”

“Yes,” Roman interrupted, cutting me off. “When your relationship is over, I want Violet to become my woman.”

My mouth fell open. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.

Did he just-

My pulse thundered in my ears as I stared between him, utterly stunned.

What the hell did Roman just say?

I didn’t understand what was going on.

Why would Roman, my professor, of all people say something like that?

Why would he want me to be his woman?

That didn’t make any sense. Roman Sinclair was calm, composed, and distant. He’d always seen me as a student, maybe even like a younger sister. He never crossed that line. So why now? Why those words?

My throat felt dry as my mind scrambled for logic that didn’t exist. And then, as if he could read my thoughts, Roman turned to me.

“I like you, Violet.”

I froze. My breath hitched, and a small gasp escaped before I could stop it. He didn’t even hesitate. His eyes were on me now, filled with something raw I couldn’t understand.

“No,” he said after a moment, shaking his head slightly. “That’s not the right word.”

“I’m in love with you.”

My heart stopped.

“I’ve always loved you,” he continued, his tone firm. “Since the first time I saw you. But I had to control myself because you were taken. I thought that was the right thing to do. But now I won’t be stupid again. I won’t let the woman I love go a second time. I’ll do everything I can to make you mine.”

I blinked, my entire body going cold.

No. This had to be some kind of dream.

It didn’t feel real.

I even shook my head slightly, hoping the motion would snap me awake. But the more I shook it, the clearer everything became. Roman was deadly serious. He meant every word.

He loved me.

How? When? Why?

Where did it even start? I had so many questions swirling in my head that none of them made it out. Everything was moving too fast, and I could only sit there, staring at him like an idiot, unable to speak.

God, this just got so much more complicated.

I exhaled shakily and forced myself to turn to Hades.

He hadn’t said a word. And that was worse. Because I knew that silence.

I’d seen Hades get possessive of me before. He hated when anyone touched me, hated when someone even looked at me for too long. But now, his own brother had just confessed to loving me.

My hands trembled in my lap.

Hades’ expression was unreadable, his face relaxed, but his fingers were drumming slowly against the table. That slow, rhythmic sound was the only thing between us and the tension that filled the air.

I found myself staring at his hands, long fingers tapping against the wood, before forcing myself to meet his gaze.

He sighed softly and ran a hand through his hair, his tone low and almost casual.

“I guess, I just can’t do it.” he murmured, more to himself than to anyone else. Hades tilted his head, the motion slow, and lazy, but I could see the danger in it. His gaze darkened as he said, “I’m considering whether killing you would be worth it

for saying those words, but I can’t do it.
