LANGLEY INSISTED ON Carina’s presence while the older woman went about her daily business. Carina hated sitting around with nothing to do while Langley chatted with business colleagues over vidcalls or discussed the management of her estates. By the time evening arrived, Carina was simmering with barely controlled anger, partly fueled by plain boredom. Langley sent Carina up to her room to “get ready for the soiree.”

It was the first time she’d been allowed to be alone in her room all day. A selection of fine dresses had been prepared for her. She took great pleasure in ripping them all to shreds and throwing them out into the hall. But taking out her frustration on the dresses did little to appease her feelings. She was furious at being forced to attend the coming social event like a performing animal, and she’d devised a plan that would result in her leaving it at its earliest stages.

When Harmon witnessed her destruction of the dresses, he followed her into the suite, strode over, and stood in front of her, his fists clenched. He managed to restrain himself, however. He only pushed her down, marched out, and closed and locked the door.

Carina leapt up and ran into her bedroom. She had a short time before she would have to go down to the party. She closed the bedroom door and pulled the bed away from the wall. Taking up the base of the metal ornament she’d left there, she carried on scraping away at the mortar between the bricks. If she could escape into the next room, she might be able to go from there to the kitchen where she could create elixir.

As she worked, she thought of Langley’s son, Reyes. The kid hadn’t appeared all day. Carina guessed he usually avoided his mother’s company. That’s certainly what she would have done in his position. She doubted she would see him that evening either.

After ten minutes Carina heard the main door to the suite open. She jumped up and pushed her bed into position, throwing herself onto it just in time as Harmon opened her bedroom door. He frowned, seeming to sense she’d been doing something she shouldn’t have. He looked around the room. When he couldn’t locate any evidence of her subversive behavior, he said, “Come with me.”

Carina walked across to her guard. It was time for her to party. Her clothes were dirtier and smellier than ever. Good, she thought. Anything she could do to ruin Langley Dirksen’s fun and reputation would be worth it.

When Carina arrived in the lounge where Langley was holding her gathering, several guests were already there, richly dressed and adorned with jewelry. Some of the women wore elaborate hairstyles that had probably taken hours for their hairdressers to craft. All the guests turned when Carina entered the room. Their eyes popped and silence fell like a death knell.

“Am I in the right place?” Carina announced loudly. “I was told there was a party here. I love parties.”
