ZAIA.
My heart thuds as the King’s turn to the man, and the first thing I notice is the change in Aran’s attitude. He swallows, glancing at
Sebastian, then at Agatha, almost uneasily.
The anger that was displayed on his face seconds ago is gone.
“Gerard… you’re here…” Agatha looks stunned as she glances at Aran,
who is emotionless and then back at the man.
Gerard smirks slightly as he looks between the two.
“I thought I was welcome at any time, but perhaps now is not the right time?” he asks lightly, shoving his hand into his pocket as his sharp eyes flit between Aran and Sebastian and then snap to me.
My heart ski ps a beat and I feel uneasy. This man looks to be in his forties, which means he’s possibly in his late fifties.
But what gets to me the most is that he eerily reminds me of Sebastian in more ways than just those eyes.
Instinctively, I grip onto Sebastian’s Jacket, not knowing who he is. He is obviously familiar with the family if he was let in just like that… but in the years I was married to Sebastian, not once have I seen him.
Who is he?
“Not at all! You are always welcome, but you could have told us so we could have come to collect you from the airport and had a feast prepared! First them, now you! I need to go tell the cooks to prepare a feast!” Agatha says, going over to him and hugging him tightly.
The man smirks, hugging her back. “No need. I had business to tend

to first, anyway.”
Aran and the man shake hands before he turns to Sebastian, who doesn’t move from where he’s sitting.
“And you are?” Sebastian asks, co cking a brow. The man mirrors his move, co cking his own brow.
“Gerard King?”
“Is that supposed to mean something to me?” Sebastian asks arrogantly.
The man looks at Aran, curiosity in his eyes. “Aran’s cousin, a shame you haven’t even told your son about me,” he says with mock disappointment before he chuckles.
“Well, you aren’t one to take pictures, but Sebastian does know of
you,” Aran says, surprisingly far calmer than before.
“Oh, does he?” Gerard says as he saunters into the room and takes a seat on one of the armchairs, his piercing eyes on Sebastian.
“Do I?” Sebastian asks his father.
“I mentioned to you about your grandfather’s brother’s family?” Aran says, clearly irritated.
“Hmm… it kind of rings a bell, but it was a passing comment. You have your own pack in France. Correct?” Sebastian asks.
“That is correct, that is correct,” Gerard says, nodding slowly.
He reminds me of Sebastian.
His mannerisms, his way of talking, his voice…
Am I being paranoid?
His hair is dark, almost as dark as Sebastian’s, but he has a dusting
of grey… could he be the man both Valerie and I saw?

“And who is this beauty?” He asks suddenly, now turning to me.
Sebastian growls lowly.
The man chuckles. “Oh, don’t worry, you are like a son to me, so that makes this woman my daughter-in-law? Correct?” he remarks,
glancing at Sebastian’s parents.
“Of course it does!” Agatha responds, smiling politely as she glances at Aran, who says nothing.
“So, you know who she is,” Sebastian asks coldly.
“From your body language and possessiveness, I understood that much. After all, us Kings are possessive, but I don’t know her
beautiful name.” Gerard smirks.
