Just obey, be good, and Ill reward you, I finally let him go, throwing ina bribe for good measure.

It hurt to see the redness on his chin.

I wanted to heal him, but I couldnt give in nowor my words would lose all meaning.

I turned my back and left the room, slamming the door behind me.

I stood in the hallway for a few seconds, gripping the doorknob.

I could feel him on the other side, like he was silently screaming for me.

I closed my eyes and slipped on Electras mask.

Today was going to be treacherous and importantI couldnt fail.

Before going downstairs, I secured the door and the room with a simple spell.

Id know if anyone went in or out.

If Silas disobeyed me, Id find out.

If anyone else entered here, I'd know that too.

od Miss Electra, the butler draped the heavy cloak over my shoulders as he saw me off at the front door.

I stepped outside, pulling on my leather gloves.

A carriage was already waiting, and the coachman was Grimm.

---- My lady, thank you for allowing me to accompany you, he bowed like the bootlicking traitor he was.

Fine.

We're going straight to Evermere Hall, I ordered without giving him a second glance.

[wanted to know where he was at all times during the party.

If I brought him along, it was to ensure he didnt plot anything against Silas while I was awayand to keep him under control.

Dressed in a stunning black gown.

The lace over my chest climbed up, forming a tangled choker around my neck.

My hair was loose, smoky makeup just the way Electra liked it.

Today, I had to give one of my best performances.

The carriage started moving with Grimms whip cracking over the horses.

We left the inner courtyard of my mansion, and | lifted my head to glance at the tallest tower.

I didnt need any magic to know that behind one of the terrace columns, my beloved torment was watching me.
