The news of the gentlemen’s retreats‘ raid spread like wildfire through the entire capital.

Fabian was struck dumb with shock. He had been feeling unwell that evening and hadn’t gone to any of the retreats, never imagining it would be seized.

The gentlemen’s retreats had been in business for years, hosting many of the capital’s elite. If Salvador had intended to shut it down, surely someone would have tipped him off.

When Fabian finally returned to his senses, he immediately called for one of his most trusted servants. He needed to know who had carried out the raid–and, more urgently, whether Gerald had been there tonight. He was well aware that Gerald frequented the retreat, and he had always kept that knowledge a secret.

Even the rest of the Quinton family was unaware, except for Gerald’s trusted servant, Cody. To Gerald, the only person in the gentlemen’s retreat who knew his identity was the steward.
