Handsome.

Shannon had the ability to create an illusion of a life I’d once led. Her insistence that I stop sequestering myself in the darkness had been on my mind since the experience the night before. I rubbed my jaw as I stared at the drapes covering the windows and doors of my office. I couldn’t remember the day I’d shut them, refusing to turn on lamps. My doctors had called it natural at first, then irrational, even prescribing pills to alter my mood.

I’d refused, never allowing them to offer me guidance again. I wouldn’t take orders from anyone, no matter their qualifications. As I continued to stare at the ugly material, memories and wishes flooded my mind. Within seconds, I couldn’t handle the heavy weight I’d planted on my shoulders all those years ago.

Without second guessing my decision, I wrapped my hand around one of the drapes, yanking until the material ripped away from the holder, flooding the room with light. Then I jerked the other one down, exposing the set of French doors. To my surprise, I didn’t burst into flames, my attempt at becoming a vampire failing. A smile crossed my face at the thought, but I took a long stride away from the light, struggling to catch my breath.

Still, the warmth of the sun streaming in through the windows was an incredible feeling. I pressed my hand to my undamaged face, realizing my skin cells were tingling in a way they hadn’t done for so long. Maybe my lovely protégé had been right after all.

“Jesus Christ. Has the world come to an end?”

The sound of Silas’ voice did nothing but rile me. I clenched my fists, snarling under my breath before turning around. I gave him a wary look, even though I managed to smile. “It’s time for changes.”

“Well, I have to tell you that I’m shocked but pleased,” Silas said then moved closer to my desk, smiling as he glanced outside. I’d forgotten about the appointment I’d made, his timing less than perfect.

My skin continued to tingle as I returned to my desk, giving him a hard glare. “Did you receive the invitation?”

“I did, another surprise. What’s gotten into you, Frederick? I mean, I am happy for you, but first a masquerade ball, now your willingness to come out of your shell? Did I miss something?”

I pressed my hands on the surface of the desk, cocking my head as I leaned over. “Is the contract in order for Splendora?”

He seemed confused. “Yes, it is, but Andre hasn’t returned my call to confirm the appointment.”

Chuckling, I realized I was actually in a damn good mood. “I assure you that he will sign the papers on the night of the event.”

“You’re certain he’s coming,” Silas huffed.

“Oh, he never misses a good party.” I could tell he had something on his mind. “What is it, Silas?”

“I didn’t want to tell you this, but two other clients are attempting to break their contracts.”

“And the reason?”

“They are citing Duvall’s inability to promote their products.
