Dorian stormed into his home and tossed his phone, sending it skittering over the marble countertops of the kitchen. “That fool!”

Anne barely looked up from her computer. “What did Huxley do this time?” It was a testament to their haphazard movement forward with the idiot Head of Huxley Family that she didn’t feel the need to question who’d given him such a rage.

“He saw fit to inform our son that his whore of a daughter would happily jump into the bed vacated by Meg Sanders without the slightest hesitation.”

Anne finally turned away from her computer and gave him her full attention. “It’s a mistake to underestimate Noemi Huxley, Dorian. You may be able to dupe her father, but she’s cut from a different cloth.”

“That remains to be seen.” She was ambitious—all nobles were ambitious—but she was too busy dallying with the help to strive for the kind of greatness a woman with her charm, looks, and intelligence could achieve. He couldn’t have cast her better if he’d conjured her up himself.

All of it would be for naught if Galen rooted out their plan before it reached fruition. “Something needs to be done.”

“Something was done.” She picked up her wine glass and considered the merlot. “Ultimately nothing changes. Theodore already had his suspicions we were involved or he wouldn’t have made a special trip out here just to subtly threaten you. We expected and planned for that eventuality.”

Yes, they had. It didn’t make this easier to stomach. “Huxley—”

“Has his own part to play. You knew this was a risk when you invited him to sit at the table.”

He had. Of course he had. Dorian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “I don’t deserve you, my love.”

“On that, I think we can both agree.”

He laughed softly and gave himself a little shake. This was a minor setback, but ultimately all it did was change the timeline a bit. They were prepared. They’d been prepared since Theodore was exiled in the first place, knowing that their steps would lead them here. There was always the slightest possibility that the palace coup orchestrated by Philip Fitzcharles would work, but Dorian knew all too well how thoroughly Theodore’s father had trained him. He wouldn’t give up without a fight then, and he wouldn’t now, either.

They simply had to give him an enemy to vanquish, a love to mourn, and then sweep in with their chosen candidate to reap the rewards.

Then, finally, they could stop circling on the fringes and step into the light where they belonged, their boots on the necks of their enemies and no one rising up to endanger them ever again.

Not a second too soon.
