“You want revenge on The Heartstones. I want something as well, while the Heartstones fall before your eyes.”

I frown, meditatively. A sick excitement courses through me.

“What do you want?” I ask, unable to suppress my enthusiasm. The thought of Regan and his family destroyed, thrilling. 

“I need a wife and pregnancy, so that my father can hand over the entire business to me.” 

I frown, wondering what that has to do with me. 

“Marry me tomorrow and sign an agreement to get pregnant for me. Then watch the first wave of The Heartstones’ devastation.”
 

Her Nectar, His Peak

Laura Heartstone.

Thursday, three days later…

I sit in the room, watching my husband as he snores lightly. He's being out of danger since yesterday and we're only waiting for him to wake, as the doctors predicted.

It's 11am in the morning and he hasn't still woken up. But I'm hopeful. It's still early, right? I stare out the window, absently. My family is falling apart and it's hard to watch. But I can't do anything, except fold my arms. I hate folding my arms like this watching helplessly.

Outside is beautiful. The sunny skies, pushing inside through the undraped windows. It's beautiful outside. A seductive, sunny day. I only wish Paul is awake to enjoy this with me.
