Handsome.
Shannon had the ability to create an illusion of a life Iâd 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 couldnât remember the day Iâd shut them, refusing to turn on lamps. My doctors had called it natural at first, then irrational, even prescribing pills to alter my mood.
Iâd refused, never allowing them to offer me guidance again. I wouldnât 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 couldnât handle the heavy weight Iâd 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 didnât 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 hadnât done for so long. Maybe my lovely protégé had been right after all.
âJesus Christ. Has the world come to an end?â
The sound of Silasâ 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. âItâs time for changes.â
âWell, I have to tell you that Iâm shocked but pleased,â Silas said then moved closer to my desk, smiling as he glanced outside. Iâd forgotten about the appointment Iâd made, his timing less than perfect.
My skin continued to tingle as I returned to my desk, giving him a hard glare. âDid you receive the invitation?â
âI did, another surprise. Whatâs 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?â
I pressed my hands on the surface of the desk, cocking my head as I leaned over. âIs the contract in order for Splendora?â
He seemed confused. âYes, it is, but Andre hasnât returned my call to confirm the appointment.â
Chuckling, I realized I was actually in a damn good mood. âI assure you that he will sign the papers on the night of the event.â
âYouâre certain heâs coming,â Silas huffed.
âOh, he never misses a good party.â I could tell he had something on his mind. âWhat is it, Silas?â
âI didnât want to tell you this, but two other clients are attempting to break their contracts.â
âAnd the reason?â
âThey are citing Duvallâs inability to promote their products.
