Baron bent close, voice low at her ear, carrying the hint of a grievance. “I thought when you askedthat night
if | wanted to sleep with you, it was because you recognized me.”
Natalie's cheeks burned hotter than fire. Did this man forget there were still children in the
house?
She pinched the soft flesh at his waist with a sharp twist.
Baron finally let her go, though his face was full of wounded reluctance. “You forgot me, slept with me, and now
you're abusing me? Am | your poor little wife now?”
Natalie's eyes went wide. She clapped a hand over his mouth, then glanced behind her-only to see the children
had been whisked out by Shauna.
Her breath left her in relief. Thank goodness. At least she hadn't embarrassed herself in front of them.
But Baron caught her hand again, eyes shining with mischief, his voice dripping with pitiful complaint. “Natalie,
don’t tellyou're going to pull your pants back up and pretend not to know me. If you dare forgetthis
time, | swear I'll-mmph-"
She silenced him with her palm once more, gritting her teeth. “Will you shut up already?”
Something about him felt completely different-like the ruthless man had been swapped for a shameless rogue.
Outside the door, Shauna and the children were eavesdropping, eyes
wide.

Susie tugged on Shauna’s sleeve, whispering with innocent curiosity, “Shauna, what does pulling your pants
back up and pretending not to know someone mean?”
Shauna nearly tripped over her own feet.
Inside, Baron and Natalie heard every word loud and clear.
“Shauna!”
Baron's growl rolled like thunder. Shauna bolted, one child under each arm, vanishing down the hall.
Natalie wanted to bury herself six feet deep.

“Baron!” she snapped, diving under the quilt, hiding her flushed face. “Just letdie here!”
Baron's laugh rumbled low. “Your stitches just cout. Don’t cover your face.”
“Go away!” Her voice cmuffled through the blanket, tinged with shy anger-so unlike the hollow shell she'd
been before.
Baron loved this side of her.
He scooped her up quilt and all, murmuring at her ear, “I’m not going anywhere. | waited too long for you to
cback to me. You'll have to killto makeleave.”
Natalie's heart hammered. She never imagined fate tying her and Baron like this. His scent enveloped her,
dizzying and warm, making her blush down to her ears.
“Putdown first,” she muttered.
“No.” He refused with the petulance of a child.
She sighed, exasperated. This was supposed to be the black-hearted king of the underworld?
“Baron, you're hurting me.”
Instantly he loosened his grip, panic flashing in his eyes. “Where? Tellwhere it hurts. Letsee.”
He reached for her blanket, but she shoved him back with her foot.
“Don’t move! Just stand there. | want to see my face.”
She hadn’t had a proper look yet.
Baron recognized the bluff, but let it slide, lips curving in indulgence.
“Wantto take a photo for you?”
“No.”
She snatched his phone, snapped a few selfies, studying the girl in the glass-half familiar, half
reborn.
When she went to send one, she remembered it wasn’t her phone.
“Baron, can you buya phone? And geta new SIM card?”

He'd only kept her offline out of worry, not wanting her distracted or hurt by gossip while healing. Sharon had
been busy flattering Jensen, the Summers family was crawling back into Ocean City’s high society. Baron had
considered crushing them, but... Natalie's rebirth was near. Sthings would be sweeter if she handled them
herself.
Now that she was healing, he had no reason to refuse her.
Natalie bit her lip. “I have money.”
“Can you even access it right now?”
Her face fell. No, she couldn't. If Jensen had cut her off, every cent she earned these years might already be in
Sharon's pocket.
The thought made her chest ache. Years of hard work, all stolen.

And then there was Witch Doctor. She still didn’t know what kind of twisted price he would demand for her face.
