The world was quiet after that night on the yacht. Too quiet. It was the kind of silence that came before something big—before a shift in power that no one saw coming.
The Duke's downfall had sent ripples across the highest levels of society. Whispers spread through the upper circles like wildfire. Some feared what Vincent and Anastasia had done. Others admired it. But one thing was certain—no one dared to challenge them directly.
And the Council?
They understood now.
Vincent and Anastasia were not pawns in the game.
They were the ones playing it.
But while the outside world trembled, Vincent and Anastasia were already moving forward. Their goals were far from complete. The yacht incident was merely a test—a warning. The real game was only beginning.
