After Julian signed the contract and David was gone, Crest was already on the phone, her tone sharp and commanding. She spoke to people he didn't know, arranging his place in Germany with precision.
Julian pinched the bridge of his nose and finally shouted, "Make it normal, Crest! I want to live alone."
His voice carried the edge of defiance. This time, he needed to try. No shadow of Crest, no Ashford wealth, no chains. Just Julian—living like a normal person, earning it himself.
The air buzzed.
Ding.
