Alice's stubbornness exceeded Caden's expectations. I have scoffed. “You can't even guarantee your own safety, and yet you worry about trivial things.”

“If I can't live, so be it,” Alice replied, her voice hoarse as she gripped the blanket tightly. “What’s the point of living if I’m always under someone’s control?”

She turned away, unable to stop the tears that burned her cheeks and fell onto her arm. Embarrassed, she pushed him away.

Caden made no move to touch her again, and a heavy silence settled between them.

After a pause, he broke the silence coldly. “Alice, your feelings are too cheap. What do you see in me?”

Alice’s complexion paled. “Perhaps,” she whispered, contemplating her constant emotional turmoil even after a disastrous marriage. She had come to believe that if anything went wrong, it was not the ingredients that were to blame, but the cooks.

In this day and age, wearing your heart on your sleeve was a fool's errand.

Caden's expression darkened, storm clouds gathering in his eyes.

Losing patience, he threw aside the blanket and got out of bed. “You're planning on opening a gallery, aren't you? I've arranged for someone to set it up. As soon as the paperwork is ready, talk to Gerry.”
