There was one question in his head that needed to be answered and that was the question of the net worth of his company.

Turning around towards Anna, he could not help but open his mouth to inquire.

"What's the network of the company?" He finally inquired, curiosity sprinkled all over his voice.

There was a sudden pause in the air as he waited patiently for a response from him.

"I think ten trillion dollars as at the last time I inquired from the general accountant. It might have increased." She explained to him.

His eyes bulged out from his eye socket at the sound of the words almost immediately as he could not believe what he just heard.

His heart was already beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through.

Random thoughts ran through his mind as to how powerful he had become so suddenly.

"I will leave you to rest now, young master, you have a lot tomorrow." She noted with a slight bow, walking away slowly from the place.

Getting into the clothes seemed way too uncomfortable for him so he just had to use the previous ones that he had already.

The bed was fluffy and he could say that everything was as good as perfect. His heart beating hard against his chest as though it was going to burst through.

The next morning, he had already been informed that he would have a lot of things to do.

There was a planned meeting where he would get to be introduced to all the heirs of the city, but before then Anna already told him that they would be going to the mall to get some clothes.

"Would that be necessary?" He could not help it, a bit inquired staring right into Anna's eyes as she stood before him.

"Yes young Master, this is going to be your first meeting with the world since you were born." She finally said with so much respect in her voice but Vincent was not going to listen to the word that she had to say.

All this while, he was already used to leading a low-key life, and forcing things on him now was going to make a lot more difference.

Anna could see the resistance that was written all over his face and she said a way that made him pause to think for a while.

"You master, this list was made by your father so I don't have control over them, I am only following orders." She said once again.

The words seemed to hit the core of his being, weakening him right to his bones and he let out a sigh of defeat.

"Okay." A finally let out a smile towered over her lips, even though she didn't spit out another word from her mouth.

"But. I will be going alone." He finally let out to her disappointment

She had already prepared the best of the cars to take him to the best exclusive mall that could be found in the city.

But after the time that she had spent trying to persuade him on the latter, she knew that there was nothing that she could do about it now.

She let out a really deep sigh almost immediately that expressed her defeat.

"Okay, Young master. A reservation has already been made for you at the Jade Mall." She finally went ahead to inform him.

In turn, Vincent nodded his head. He took his bath for the morning and took a cab to the mall.

It intended to get clothes that were not way too flashy but after hitting through every single detail of the place, he could not get a glimpse of anything that fitted into his description.

"An exclusive hotel isn't it." He thought in his head.

And finally, his eyes caught up with a piece of clothing that was caught up in a shoe glass.

If there was any way that he could describe it, it was just what he wanted with a staggering price tag.

His hands sped off towards the glass but before he could feel it, he heard a voice from behind that made him pull a sudden halt.

"How many more shoplifters are we going to get in a week?" He heard the voice coming to him from behind with a hiss on the lips.

He made a sudden turn towards the direction of the sound to see who it was, only to notice that it was one of the sellers there.

He recognized the face that was sitting next to him almost immediately. It was Marble, a girl from his varsity.

Immediately their eyes crossed the paths, her face twisted into a swift frown immediately and her nostrils twitched with irritation.

"What do you think that you are doing here?" She scoffed after which a chuckle escaped from her mouth.

"After being disgraced before the whole school, do you think that this is the place for you to start seeking out consolation or something?

"Well sorry to disappoint, this place is a mall so you should find somewhere else."

Throughout the whole speech, Vincent kept a straight face, waiting for her to spit out all the words that she had in her head before going ahead to speak.

"And I was praying for potential customers as the boss already promised 40% to anyone that will be able to sell these clothes but the only thing that I keep getting are scumbags like you." She muttered under her breath but it was loud enough for him to hear.

"Are you done?" He shot a straight face at her and the words that he just spoke seemed to flare up again.

"Pardon?" She shot a deadly glare at him that was enough to throw anyone off balance but he was not moved even for a single moment.

"Oh too bad it seems you still have more to say. But when you feel like you are done, you can get me the clothes. Proper package please." He muttered the words nonchalantly.

Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, she could not hold back the astonishment that was written all over her face.

And afterward, she burst out into laughter until a strand of tears escaped from her eyes.

"Are you for real right now?" She laughed even harder, clutching hard to her already aching stomach.

Finally, she was able to get a grip of herself as she rose slowly, staring right into his eyes. Her laughter was soon replaced by a sudden snare.

"Seemed the public embarrassment got into that head of yours." She snared.

"First lying that poor Sonia is your girlfriend when she was just trying to be nice to you and what next, telling me that you want to get something that could feed you your entire life?

Aren't you the biggest psycho that I have ever been?"

Vincent could already feel his anger rising steeply but he clutched his hands to control it.

"And what makes you feel like I can't afford it?" His confidence was way too baffling to Marble.

She was confused as to why he was talking in such a manner but after thinking about the way that she spoke the previous day before everyone, it was not surprising to him anymore.

"Guess you are good at what you do, con artist." She thought in her head.

"I think the question should be the other way around."

She took a swift look From his head to his toe. Just take a good look at yourself and I think that you will be able to find the answer.

"Can you even afford to eat three square meals daily?" She wondered

Vincent could feel his heart pounding on his chest but he was able to resist the urge to display his anger openly.

"And what if I tell you that I will be able to afford the whole mall without even a flinch in my network?" He said swiftly.

Miracle couldn't phantom the words that he just spat out from his mouth, her jaws still far apart with so much shock.

This time, she could not hold back the rage that was beginning to boil over right from the inner part of her.

Her growl was enough to rip him into a million pieces.

"Have you gone mad?" She thundered with so much hatred in her voice ready to tear him apart into a million pieces.

Vincent was about to give her a response but she would not allow him to spit out a word from his mouth anymore.

"Enough." She shot a deadly glare at him.

"I have heard enough of you for one day." She thundered, her voice laced with so much anger.

Her words spoke of the hatred that was brewing deep inside her.But if there was anything that was not going to happen, it was leaving that place without getting what he wanted."And what if I decide not to?" He glared back, already getting tired of her ranting."You know what, I should be the one angry at this point. I want to see the manager right away."

    “Will it be hours every day that you work on him?” Nesryn’s words were steady, almost flat, and yet … The woman was not a creature who took well to a cage. Even a gilded one such as this.“I would recommend,” Irene said to Nesryn over a shoulder, “that if you have other duties or tasks to attend to, Captain, these hours would be a good time for that. I shall send word if you are needed.”“What about moving him around?”The lord’s eyes flashed at that.And though Irene was predisposed to chuck them both to the ruks, she noted the lord’s simmering outrage and self-loathing at the words and found herself saying, “I can handle most of it, but I believe Lord Westfall is more than capable of transporting himself.”Something like wary gratitude shot across his face. But he just said to Nesryn, “And I can ask my own damn questions.”Guilt flashed across Nesryn’s face, even as she stiffened. But she nodded, biting her lip, before she murmured to Vincent , “I had some invitations yesterday.”

    Vincent shot Irene back an equally displeased look the moment Kashin paused to sip his wine, and then launched question after question to the prince regarding his life. Helpful information, he realized, about their army.He was not the only one who realized it. Arghun cut in while his brother was midsentence about the forges they had constructed near their northern climes, “Let us not discuss business at dinner, brother.”Kashin shut his mouth, ever the trained soldier.And somehow Vincent knew—that fast—that Kashin was not being considered for the throne. Not when he obeyed his eldest brother like any common warrior. He seemed decent, though. A better alternative than the sneering, aloof Arghun, or the wolflike Hasar.It did not entirely explain Irene ’s utter need to distance herself from Kashin. Not that it was any of his business, or of any interest to him. Certainly not when Irene ’s mouth tightened if she so much as turned her head in Vincent ’s direction.He might have calle

    Vincent waited until Nesryn had been gone for a good thirty minutes before he summoned Kadja. She’d been waiting in the exterior hallway and slipped inside his suite mere moments after he’d called her name. Lingering in the foyer, he watched the serving girl approach, her steps light and swift, her eyes downcast as she awaited his order.“I have a favor to ask you,” he said slowly and clearly, cursing himself for not learning Halha during the years Levi had studied it.A dip of the chin was her only answer.“I need you to go down to the docks, to wherever information comes in, to see if there’s any news about the attack on Rifthold.” Kadja had been in the throne room yesterday—she’d undoubtedly heard about it. And he’d debated asking Nesryn to do some searching while she was out, but if the news was grimhe didn’t want her learning it alone. Bearing it alone, all the way back up to the palace. “Do you think you could do that?”Kadja lifted her eyes at last, though she kept her head

    She’d known his age, but Irene had still not expected the former captain to look so … young.She hadn’t done the math until she’d walked into that room and seen his handsome face, a mix of caution and hope written across the hardened, broad features.It was that hope that had made her see red. Had made her ache to give him a matching scar to the slender one slicing across his cheek.She’d been unprofessional in the most horrific sense. Never—never had she been so rude and unkind toward any of her patients.Mercifully, Hasar had arrived, cooling her head slightly. But touching the man, thinking of ways to help him …She had not meant to write the list of the last four generations of Towers women. Had not meant to write her mother’s name over and over while pretending to record his information. It had not helped with the overwhelming roaring in her head.Sweating and dusty, Irene burst into Hadiza ’s office nearly an hour later, the trek from the palace through the clogged, narrow str

Such a wealth of kingdoms in that hall, represented by viziers and servants and companions—the now-youngest princess, Duva, herself wedded to a dark-haired, sad-eyed prince from a faraway land who kept close to his pregnant wifeand spoke little to anyone around him. But whenever Duva smiled softly at himVincent did not think the light that filled the prince’s face was feigned. And wondered if the man’s silence was not from reticence but perhaps not yet knowing enough of his wife’s language to keep up.Nesryn, however, had no such excuse. She’d been silent and haunted at dinner. He’d only learned that she’d bathed before it thanks to the shout and slamming door in her chambers, followed by a huff

    Hadiza ’s face darkened. Not with ire, but memory. “I was once asked to heal a man who was injured while evading capture. After he had committed a crime so unspeakable … The guards told me what he’d done before I walked into his cell. They wanted him patched up so he could live to be put on trial. He’d undoubtedly be executed—they had victims willing to testify and proof aplenty. Eretia herself saw the latest victim. His last one. Gathered all the evidence she needed and stood in that court and condemned him with what she had seen.”Hadiza ’s throat bobbed. “They chained him down in that cell, and he was hurt enough that I knew … I knew I could use my combat to make the internal bleeding worse. They’d never know. He’d be dead by morning, and no one would dare question me.” She studied the vial of blue tonic. “It was the closest I have ever come to killing. I wanted to kill him for what he had done. The world would be better for it. I had my hands on his chest—I was ready to do it. Bu

    Of all the rooms in the Torre Cesme, Irene Towers loved this one best.Perhaps it was because the room, located at the very pinnacle of the pale-stoned tower and its sprawling complex below, had unparalleled views of the sunset over Antica.Perhaps it was because this was the place where she’d felt the first shred of safety in nearly ten years. The place she had first looked upon the ancient woman now sitting across the paper- and book-strewn desk, and heard the words that changed everything: You are welcome here, Irene Towers.It had been over two years since then.Two years of working here, living here, in this tower and in this city of so many peoples, so many foods and caches of knowledge.It had been all she’d dreamed it would be—and she had seized every opportunity, every challenge, with both hands. Had studied and listened and practiced and saved lives, changed them, until she had climbed to the very top of her class. Until an unknown healer’s daughter from Benjamin was appr
