Terry narrowed his eyes a small margin. Julian had put him in a corner now. It would seem almost cruel to deny

Piper, especially with Julian himself defending her.

“Hurry back,” Terry said, voice silky smooth for the watching cameras.

“I will,” I promised, a blatant lie, and hurried away from the table.

Outside the dining room, I turned to a lingering servant.

what these poor people endured on the regular.

I left the servant without a word and sought out the bathroom on my own.

After a few minutes, I easily found Nicholas. All I really had to do was follow the sound of his cursing.

The bathroom door was halfway open. He sat on top of the closed toilet lid with a small waste bin between his

him.

“Let me see,” I said.

He lifted his bloody hand toward me. “I got most of the glass out, but I can’t see the underside as well. There’s one

“Come over to the sink. We’ll clean you up.”

He smirked at me a little. “Yes, ma’am.”

I blushed, realizing how demanding I had sounded. “I didn’t mean…”
