When they pulled through the gates of Slough Castle, Grace was surprised to find that there were quite a few flashy cars parked in the main driveway.

Liam also seemed surprised. “Looks like Sister and Brother decided to have a bit of a shindig without inviting me,” he said, his tone at once sarcastic but also genuinely wounded beneath the humor.

“Are you sure you want to do this right now?” Grace asked, as he parked his car behind a silver Aston Martin. “It’s been a long day with a lot of drama. You’re tired, Liam.”

Liam turned off the engine and looked at Grace with kind eyes. “I’m okay, Grace. Really okay for the first time in my life. And I need to get this over with. I’ve waited years and years, let people push my buttons and tell me what to do for far too long.”

“Okay,” she said, taking his hand and giving a quick squeeze. “You know I’m with you. I love you so much.”

“And I love you. Now come on, we’ve got housecleaning to do.” He got out and so did Grace, and then they were walking towards the main entrance to the castle.

As they approached the door, Grace thought how ironic it was to be back at Slough after all this time.

She could still recall the wedding of Easton Rather and Kennedy as if it happened yesterday.

That day, she’d met the man who would change everything, and yet she hadn’t known it right away.

She’d thought that Liam was just another rich boy, a privileged jerk. She’d lumped him in with everyone and everything in life that had ever disappointed her.

She’d been so, so wrong about him.

Wrong about a lot of things.

They reached the front door and Liam opened it. Grace felt like they were breaking into the castle, even though technically Liam owned all of this property.

He owns everything.

Liam controls the entire dynasty.

For the first time ever, it truly hit her just how wealthy and powerful Liam Houston was. He’d been running away from that reality for a long time, and so neither of them had ever really dealt with it.

But here it was, and as they strode through the grand majestic rooms and halls, Grace was overwhelmed with the knowledge that her life had truly changed.

Nothing was ever going to be the same.

As they got closer to the dining hall, sounds began echoing out towards them. Murmurs, voices, the clink of silverware.

“Liam, are you sure?” she asked, her legs feeling shaky, butterflies in her belly now as she imagined entering that frighteningly austere and snooty environment, confronting her worst enemies.

“I’m sure. Don’t be afraid, beautiful. You’re a queen and they’re nothing but pretenders to the throne.” Liam’s eyes flashed mischievously and he grinned wickedly before opening the door and walking through.

Grace followed behind.

Inside, all conversation stopped as the heads turned and the wealthy elite stared at the interlopers.

We’re intruders, Grace’s panicked mind thought.

We should go.

This is wrong. We’ll be humiliated for this.

Vera and Exley were seated at either end of the long table, but there were at least eight others.
