Chapter 28

The sound of the tires rolling over the gravel on the long driveway woke Madeline. She sat up in the back seat and beheld the magnificence of Mon Ciel. It was a palace—Ciaran’s home. She didn’t need an introduction to know where she was and what she was seeing. This place was a world in itself—separated from the outside world.

It was more than a castle, Madeline thought. This palace had the warm feeling of a home. This was the place that Ciaran called home, the place that he would not share with outsiders. But wasn’t he sharing it with her by bringing her here, though? Don’t flatter yourself, she thought. Who knew how many women had shared his bed in this palace?

She rubbed her forehead. Her head was pounding. As Ciaran stopped the car, Madeline recalled what had happened before. She stormed out of the car.

As quick as a cat, Ciaran was out of the driver’s seat and after her.

“Jo?” Madeline asked.

“She’s fine. Fine for now. The gun shot was just a warning. Zen didn’t shoot Jo. He’ll call again tomorrow.” Ciaran spoke as quickly as he could.

Madeline stared at him. Then she nodded. “Oh. That’s all right then. We’ll have another night to prepare.”

He smiled.

“Is this your home?”

Ciaran nodded. He wrapped his arm around her waist to guide her inside.

“Why was I sleeping in the back seat of the car?”

“You were tired,” Ciaran explained. “The back seat is more comfortable than the front seat.”

She frowned. “I remember you in the back seat as well?”

“Then who was driving?”

“Right. You’re right. I must have been hallucinating. The back seat of your car is very comfortable.”

“Is that so? I’ll have to try it out sometime.” He grinned and then yelped as she poked his side.

It surprised her that Ciaran seemed to have no live-in staff to maintain such an enormous place.

“Be careful when you walk around. There are security cameras everywhere.”

She frowned and glanced around. “Where?”

Ciaran smiled. “You won’t see them, but they see your every movement.”

She figured that behind the antique interior made up of endless expanses of polished wood, glass, stone, and sculptures, there was an ultra-modern technology that controlled everything—from light switches to security doors.

There was not a trace of violence, death, or sorrow in this place, Madeline noticed. Unlike what Madeline had seen in other castles, towers, and even in churches, the paintings, artwork, sculptures, and tapestries in this palace did not bear a hint of blood, weapons, war, or any historical or religious activities involving blood and sacrifices.

This was a home.

“There are two parts of the house,” Ciaran explained at they stood at the junction of two marble corridors. “The old section used to be a castle, and the new part my father added when we moved in.”

“You were born here?”

He nodded and gestured toward the left wing. “In the new part of the house.” Before they headed up the set of stairs, Madeline saw a group of blue dots hovering at the corridor Ciaran had referred to as the old part.
