Master of his heart

Chapter 467
The moment the words left his lips, Michael's cane came crashing down on
Spencer’s back, sending a shiver through his body.
Michael's scalp tingled with fury. “Stubborn as a mule! You don't give a hoot
about your own folks, but you're all worried about a stranger. Your dad hit Max
with the car last night, and I had to whisk him and Faith out of Beaconsfield in the
dead of night. Spencer, your mom chose to leave you behind; don't you go
disappointing her.”
Spencer’s pupils shrank sharply, deflated like a punctured balloon. He stopped
his ruckus about what he would do with Brielle, simply lowering his gaze and
clutching the blanket in front of him with a death grip.
Growing up in a powerful family, he knew what being sent away meant. To
outsiders, Michael had washed his hands of them, and keeping Spencer was just
a nod to the last thread of kinship.
“You take the time to get well. Once you're out of the hospital, I'll find you a
suitable marriage to keep you from mooning over a would-be murderer all day
long.”
Spencer fell silent, and once the old man had left, he realized Alivia was still
standing in the hospital room. Her face carried the same gentle smile as she
poured him a glass of water from the dispenser. “Spencer, Michael and I just
came from Max’s room. He's forgotten all about Brielle. Congrats, she’s all yours
now.”
Her words treated Brielle like some cheap trinket.
Spencer was about to reach for the glass, but his hand froze mid-air at her
words. “Are you certain?”
“Mmhmm, the blood clot in his head must've squeezed some nerves. Ever since
he woke up. he’s been out of it, not a peep about Brielle.”
A flicker of wild joy crossed Spencer's eyes, and his lips curled into a cold smirk.
Alivia patted his shoulder. “Brielle is yours to shape or shatter as you please. Max
won't interfere anymore. Once he’s healed up, he'll be marrying me.”
“Congratulations to you, Ms. Alivia, for getting your heart's desire.
Alivia chuckled lightly. As long as Jaired hurried things along, getting Brielle into
trouble behind bars, everything would be perfect.
Alivia didn't let Jaired snuff out Brielle’s life, not out of kindness; she wanted to
drive Brielle mad and then have the crazed woman attend her wedding to Max.
Murder was mundane, but to crush a spirit was the real thrill.
In prison, Brielle curled up on the narrow cot, feeling the chill seeping through her
bones. She wanted to sleep, but the pain from her wound kept her too alert.

The prison medic had come once to dress her wounds, admonishing her to stay
still before leaving.
Sweat poured down Brielle’s face. The sound of the iron door being knocked
echoed, and then it swung open. Her blurred vision couldn’t make out the faces
of those who dragged her swiftly to an abyssal cell.
Solitary confinement was a common punishment for unruly Inmates. Inside, time
lost all meaning, and sanity hung by a thread.

“Let's just keep her there for now. Of all the people to cross, she had to anger the
Riddle and Dorsey families. Both gave us the same order: take special care of
her. A grown man would lose his mind after three days in the hole; she won't last
long.”
“A shame, she’s quite the looker.”
The guards, more brutish in nature, couldn't afford to be gentle; it wouldn't do in a
place like
this.
“Well, you won't get a taste of that.”
“That remains to be seen. The Riddle family wants us to drive her mad. What do

The two guards exchanged knowing looks and fell silent.

After an indeterminate length of time, she glimpsed a hazy light. She tried to
move her fingers, only to find her hands restrained on either side. She looked up
to see two men leering down at her, their eyes trailing over her body.
“Ms. Brielle, you've got quite the will. It seems we'll need to get creative to drive
you mad.”
