\u201cDon\u2019t stand there. Come to Daddy.\u201d Hades\u2019 voice echoed through the study, loud and clear enough for everyone to hear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I froze on the spot, my hand still wrapped around the doorknob my entire brain short-circuiting for a full second. I honestly thought I must have misheard, but when I looked around the room, and then at Hades\u2019 perfectly smug face, I knew I hadn\u2019t. He actually said it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He actually called himself Daddy in front of everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sierra, Alec, Silas were right there. They had definitely heard it, yet somehow, not a single one of them looked surprised. They didn\u2019t even react. It was like hearing Hades say something utterly insane had become their personal version of normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sierra even snorted under her breath and muttered, \u201cCrazy bastard,\u201d sounding far too amused for someone who fully understood how crazy his words were.\u00a0<\/p>\n
How could he say something like that? Even if he didn\u2019t care about anyone else and always acted like we were the only ones in the room, he could still watch what he said. Of course, I called him that during sex, but that was different. The age gap, the dynamic, it was hot; it worked in the moment. But I never expected him to fling the word around in front of an audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hades, the absolute menace, looked entertained. He leaned back in his chair, eyes dragging down my body and back up, the kind of look that made my stomach twist and drop at the same time. His lips curved, that dangerous smirk spreading on his face. \u201cCome in, princess,\u201d he added. \u201cDon\u2019t be shy. Daddy will give you a reward if you\u2019re good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
God, I hated him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
God, I liked him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
God, I hated that I liked him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wanted to rile me up. He wanted a reaction. He wanted to see me flustered, shaking, blushing, and losing my sanity. And judging by the look in his eyes, he was enjoying every second of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fine. If he wanted a reaction, then he would get one.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sierra started to rise from her seat. \u201cViolet, just ignore him. You don\u2019t have to\u2014\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s okay.\u201d I cut her off with a perfectly sweet smile and turned to Hades. \u201cOf course, Daddy. Your babygirl will come to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything stopped. Hades actually froze. Alec straightened slightly, as if he wasn\u2019t sure he\u2019d heard correctly. Silas lifted his head fully this time, his eyes widening just a fraction. Sierra\u2019s mouth fell open in shock at my words. And with that, my dignity quietly got up and walked straight out the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart hammered violently in my chest, but my smile didn\u2019t drop, even though I was cringing so hard inside I could physically feel it. Before I could lose the tiny spark of courage I had left, I stepped fully into the study and closed the door behind me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I walked slowly toward Hades. He didn\u2019t take his eyes off me. Those blue eyes tracked every step.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I reached his desk, swallowing heavily as a very vivid image of yesterday flashed in my mind. God. Out of every place in this mansion, why did he have to take me on this desk? I tried not to hink about it, but the second my fingers brushed the wood, heat shot up my body. I lifted my chin, trying to pretend the memory wasn\u2019t making me blush.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHm,\u201d I said, looking at him. \u201cWhere should I sit, daddy? There are no other chairs.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a lie. There were literally two perfectly empty seats in the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Behind me, I could feel all three of them watching like an audience waiting for the main performance. Normally, I would never act this way with strangers around. Normally, I would hide shrink down, pretend nothing was happening. But Hades kept pulling me into his madness, like he wanted me to forget everyone else existed. And maybe I was starting to fall into that same insanity, because right now, I didn\u2019t care who was staring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hades didn\u2019t make me wait. He smiled and tapped his lap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there\u2019s no other seat,\u201d he said, \u201cI suppose I\u2019ll have to bear the responsibility and make my princess comfortable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lustful jerk. He always took the opportunity to get his hands on me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I nodded, playing along, and sat down on his lap. The moment hy weight settled on him, he let out a quiet groan, and a shiver ran straight down my spine. I tried so hard not to react, but his body was warm and solid beneath me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I lifted my head and forced a polite smile at the others. \u201cGood morning.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas glanced at Sierra. Sierra burst out laughing under her breath before turning to Hades with a grin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I move in?\u201d she asked. \u201cPlease. I promise I won\u2019t disturb you two. But I just know if I lived here, my life would be so much more entertaining.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hades didn\u2019t answer immediately. Probably because he was too busy dealing with the very obvious problem pressing against me under the desk. I swallowed. This was absolutely humiliating, but I wouldn\u2019t deny it was thrilling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
God, I was losing my mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHades,\u201d Sierra said again, teasing, \u201cI\u2019m serious. Can I move in?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His voice came out deeper than usual, amused but edged with something darker. \u201cDon\u2019t even think about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulled me closer against him until his head lowered near my ear. His breath brushed my skin, sending another shiver down my spine, and I had to grip the side of the desk to keep myself steady.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems,\u201d he murmured, unapologetic, \u201cthis meeting will need to be postponed. My wife and I need a moment to discuss something very important.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Important?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yeah right. I knew exactly what he meant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And judging by the heat in his eyes, he wasn\u2019t planning to negotiate with words, only with his cock.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was pressed fully against my back now, his chest solid, his breath warm on my shoulder like he was two seconds away from dragging me out of the room. I knew he was frustrated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can discuss that later,\u201d I shifted a bit on his lap, pretending not to feel his reaction, pretending not to hear the low, strained sound he made behind me. I turned to Silas instead. \u201cSince you\u2019re here, you came to talk about the marriage contract, right? Let\u2019s talk about it now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
For days, I had waited for Sebastian\u2019s condition to stabilize before we could even talk about the inarriage. Yesterday, the doctor finally told me he was improving faster than expected and could be discharged soon. That one sentence lifted a weight off my chest that I had been carrying for so long. With that weight gone, I could finally focus on everything else I had been planning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like making every single person who had mistreated me and in brother regret ever crossing us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That was why I asked Hades to let Silas come by today. And why I called Sierra, hoping she would help me. I never expected her to say yes so quickly, or so enthusiastically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas blinked, then glanced at Hades for a split second, like he needed to check whether he\u2019d be murdered on the entertaining my request. Then he looked back at me, lips curling into a slow smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
for spot\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, we do have something to discuss. If you\u2019re ready, Mrs. Sinclair, I can go over the points with you now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Behind me, I felt Hades\u2019s fingers tighten around my waist, hard enough to make my breath hitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPrincess,\u201d he growled, voice low with warning. He didn\u2019t even try to hide the frustration in it. If anything, he wanted me to hear it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smacked the back of his hand lightly without turning around. Daddy, wait. I\u2019m busy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room went silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t need to look at Silas and Sierra to know they were staring at me with wide, eager eyes. Even Alec shifted, like he was getting ready to pop open a bag of popcorn\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas\u2019s smile broadened, amusement flickering in his gaze before he looked at Hades again. \u201cYou\u2019re really the only one who can dare defy him,\u201d he murmured, almost like he couldn\u2019t believe it himself. Then he straightened and addressed me more formally. \u201cVery well. Let me go over it with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou must have a death wish, Silas,\u201d Hades muttered darkly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silas only shrugged as if Hades wasn\u2019t seconds away from exploding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before I could respond, Sierra leaned forward in her seat, her chin propped on her palm. \u201cAfter this, we should also go over our conversation too, Violet. I haven\u2019t forgotten.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smiled at her, happy that both she and Silas were on my side. Okay, we will.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was the moment Hades completely lost whatever patience he had left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDamn it, Princess,\u201d he rasped. \u201cYou will be the end of me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
