The Jakrapatr estate lay heavy with silence. I adjusted my gloves in the chill morning air, the chemical odor overlaying the scent of damp earth. The past was gone. Scoured clean. Then—a slow, mocking clap. I froze; this wasn't the heavy quiet William imposed. I turned and found Kian Jakrapatr standing there, a smug smile on his face, his hands lazily coming together. 'You’re very obedient to William,' Kian said, his sharp eyes glinting beneath the grin, his gaze dropping to my gloves. 'It’s almost impressive.' He tilted his head, studying me. 'Or pathetic. You look exactly like his dog.'
