swarm of doctors burst into the room. The lead physician, Daniel Parker, looked terrified as he bowedto Sebastian.
Mit Sterling, this is our fault. We’ve already called the police–they’re on their way to arrest this viciouss
woman.”
Amelia’s voice was dangerously low. “You’re doctors and you didn’t even run a single test before jumping condiusions? That’s how you treat patients?”
Amelia’s forehead was slick with sweat from holding the same position for so long; she looked exhausted.
“You killed hent!” Daniel shouted, pointing at the blood–soaked sheets. “What more is there to say?”
Amelia ler outacoid laugh. “You see blood and immediately scream ‘murder‘? Look at the monitor, genius -her heart rate is steady.”
Daniel finally glanced authe machines. Sure enough the line was stable, only a tiny flicker.
That was impossible. Aneillesstraight into the heart, tha much blood… how was she still alive?
“If you don’t get her into surgery right now,” Amelia warned, “she really will die.”
Sebastian’s jaw tightened. “Can Bleanor to the OR immediately,” he ordered, voice like frozen steel. “If anything happens to her, every single one of you is going down with her.”

In the Kansister circle, she was just the country girl who got dragged back home—what kind of identity did she ever have?
Then it clickedd–the marriage alliance between the families.
She stood up straight in front of him, completely serious. “Mr. Sterling, I want to make a deal with you
Sebastian gave shortamused laugh. “Amelia, deals require capital.”
“I’m not joking. Onced deanor comes out of surgery, you’re going to accept my terms.”
Something in her determinedd little face actually chipped at his frozen expression. “All right. What’s the deal?”
“I’ve cut ties with the Bennemfamily.”
“And?”
