Lunch finally ended, and without much ado, Caius made his way to his study. He still had a couple of things to take care of now that he could no longer rely on Rylen.
Caius had absolutely no intention of seeing his father, regardless of what news he heard. He wouldn't easily forgive the old man for tying him down with this marriage and threatening Rose. His mother and Rylen could say whatever they wanted, but they wouldn't change his mind.
His study was brightly lit with the sun high up in the sky. Sunlight filled the space as Caius made his way to his desk and got to work. Too bad he couldn't enjoy Rose's company right now; she would certainly make him forget all the unnecessary things.
Caius had barely gotten through the document he held when a soft knock interrupted. He frowned, dropping the paper as he leaned back in his seat. He wasn't expecting anyone, and since the last time Rylen had come to his office, he hadn't been back.
