“Where’s your med?”He pointed to the bathroom.
She rushed in and came out thirty seconds later.
“Here, take these. And if it gets worse, we’re going straight to the hospital.”She plonked the H2 blockers and a glass of water down in front of him.
Daniel stared at them.
Catherine sat down, her job done.
“Must be the stress getting to you. Maybe you should come to France with me. You know, clear your head, get a break from Eleanor. Seriously, I don’t get what she’s playing at. Marrying some random guy just to get under your skin? Pathetic.”Daniel was barely listening.
He stared at the blister pack, made a move to reach it, but groaned when a fresh wave of agony hit him.
Eleanor need to do this too only different.
She’d crack the pills out of the blister pack and place them in his mouth.
Then she’d tip the water to his lips, hand on his back to keep him anchored.
All he had to do was lie there and swallow.
Catherine didn’t do any of that.
She hadn’t even opened the damn foil.
Daniel didn’t say anything.
Wouldn’t be fair to go off over something this minor Still. It bugged him.
“Daniel? Are you listening?” Catherine waved a hand in front of his face.
“I was thinking… which part of France should I even go to? I’m bored of Paris, Cannes was too humid, and Saint-Tropez’s full of influencers. Maybe somewhere low-key, like Biarritz?”
“Whatever,” he muttered.
“Hmm? Or should I just borrow your family’s ch?teau in Bordeaux again? Thoughts?”Wherever you want to go is fine,” he said.
“Just go check online for tickets.”The second Catherine hit the shower, Daniel grabbed his phone, found her number, hit call.
If Eleanor answered and apologised -fine.
He could let go of the whole quickie marriage stunt.
Sebastian could be her rebound or whatever.
Once she got over herself and filed the divorce papers, there was still a spot waiting for her.
He was still willing to give her the title of Mrs Granger despite all the trouble she’d stirred up.
As long as she didn’t expect affection or bedtime cuddles, they’d be just fine.
The call didn’t go through, went straight to busy tone.
Daniel blinked.
Then remembered-oh. She’d blocked him. Again.
He dialled Yvaine next.
One ring.
Click. Call ended.
What the hell?
He called again.
This time it didn’t even ring. Straight to voicemail.
He was blocked.
“Fuck!” he shouted, hurling the phone across the room.
Next morning, he sent someone to stake out Nyx Collective.
Wait for Eleanor to leave work. Follow her. Get a location.
By sunset, he had it.
He drove to Oakwood Apartments, some mid-rise thing near the park.
On the way there, he called in a favour, pulled a few strings, got access to the building and a lift pass to her floor.
He got in the lift.

Yep this Granger, looking like someone had pissed in hit wope, I said immediately and went to slam it shant He shoved a foot in “You dodging me now? I’ve got something to say Say it. Then leave.”
*If you married that guy just to spite me, you win. Fine. You win. I’m here now. You got what you wanted I laughed. You think I got married to piss you off?”
“Didn’t you?” he said, jaw tight.
“You’ve been into me since we were kids. You don’t just flip a switch and stop. Everything you’re doing right now is just a game.”Oh, for fuck’s sake.
I folded my arms.
“Daniel, the day you let my darling sister crawl into your lap at that bar was the day I stopped liking you. Yeah, f used to be an idiot. But I’m not anymore. So let me make this crystal clear.”He blinked.
I leaned forward.
“I. Am. Married. I have a husband. A real one. Not a maybe-one-day-if-you-behave placeholder. You and I? We’re nothing. I don’t love you. I don’t even like you now. Got it? Is that enough closure for you?”Daniel just stood there, shoulders slumped, mouth half-open.
Good. Let it sting.
His breathing went weird, like someone had stuffed a sock down his throat.
“No. No way. You can’t not love me.” He sounded like a broken chatbot.
“You marrying Sebastian Laurent? That was the real joke. You think the heir to the Laurent empire’s actually gonna fall for you? Maybe he played along for now “cause you blackmailed him or whatever, but once he comes to his senses, you won’t even know what hit you before you’re out on your arse or dead.”I looked up at the ceiling, praying for patience.
Why the hell did I never notice how exhausting it was just talking to Daniel?
I’d said what I needed to say.
I wasn’t wasting another breath.
“Do not come back here,” I said, then turned and slammed the door-
Well, I tried to slam it.
Except his foot was still in the gap.
There was a solid “crunch”.
Followed by the kind of scream that made my neighbours probably reach for their phones.
*AAAA allway for theilk, srx ens trying in Werder *25 BORUS tplaneet Down I polished leaften shoe had a der, bat 1 dian’s wre blond or hand fragments Move It.”1 said coolly “Or next time I’ll snap the whole damn this “No! Thys gritted his teeth and clung to the doorframe He grabbed my wrist hard and yanked me and into the hallway.
“You think you can just shut the door on me? I’m not done tallding!
Let go of me I twisted, tried to pull free, but his grip was vice-tight I could feel it pressing straight into the bone.
“Daniel! You’re hurting me, you lunatie!
He didn’t reply. Like he’d gone full zombie mode and couldn’t hear me.
Worse be started dragging me towards the lift.
“You’re coming home with me!”*The hell i am! Let go!”I was debating if kneeing him in the groin was worth the trip to the police station when the lift let out a cheerful “ding”Sebastian strode out, pulled up short at the sight of us, then picked up his pace.
He was right in front of me in a matter of seconds and landed a punch straight into Daniel’s face.
Daniel made this choked-up sound, somewhere between a yelp and a dying pigeon.
Then Sebastian grabbed his shirt collar with one hand and clamped down on Daniel’s wrist with the other.
Yanked him clean off me like peeling off a cheap sticker.
“Who the fuck are you?!” Daniel gasped, hunched over like a kicked bin.
He looked dazed, probably couldn’t see past the cartoon stars circling his head.
Sebastian’s voice came down like a guillotine: “Lay a hand on her again, and I’ll kill you.”Daniel spat out a mouthful of blood.
He tried squinting up at the newcomer’s face.
I knew the moment he’d recognised Sebastian, because he flinched.
And I couldn’t blame him.
Even I was a little scared.
Sebastian had delivered his threat in a perfectly calm voice, and something told me he’d have no trouble carrying it out.
Daniel, for all his puffed-up ego, couldn’t even stand straight.
Panicking, he backed away a step and shouted, as if volume could make up for his lack of balls, “Eleanor is my fianc?e! What I do with her is none of your business!”That last part came out about three decibels softer than the rest.
Even Daniel himself didn’t believe it.
Sebastian took a step forward.
Daniel scrambled back farther.
