Chapter 18

ALINA’S POV

Then show him. Use your words, your eyes, your silence, your body–whatever you have left. But for once in your life, Alina, be vulnerable.”

She paused for dramatic effect.

“Stop trying to outplay a man who’s already broken every rule for you. Just sit outside that door, stay soft, and let him come to you. Don’t chase. Just wait.”

I stared at the locked door in front of me, my throat tightening.

–

And if he doesn’t come?” I whispered.

Talia didn’t answer right away.

“He will,” She said finally, her voice softer. “Because despite everything. Mr. Blackwood always comes back to you.”

There was a prolonged silence between us for a few seconds.

“Do you really think so?” I asked.

With my whole damn soul.” Her voice was filled with confidence. “Now put your phone away, fix your hair, and wait like the woman who has finally figured out what she wants.”

A little smile spread across my lips. “You’re scary when you’re wise,

“And you’re exhausting when you want something. Call me when he opens the door–and only if you’re still alive.”

I thought about her question and realized I hadn’t eaten anything else since morning. I had been so busy with my escape and getting things done that I completely forgot to eat.

“Judging by the look on your face, you haven’t,” She noted. “Why don’t I set the table for you!” She suggested gently.

“No. I have to wait here in case ciar comes out.” I told her, glancing back at

the shut door.

“I’m sure you can come eat something and come back before Master Blackwood comes out.” She pushed kindly.
