I’m Julian Bellamy. For years I was the mind behind her family’s power, the man who kept their empire standing no matter the cost. She called me loyal—right before she handed me over to bleed for her father’s mistake. I survived, built something better, and made sure her world collapsed piece by piece. Now she’s here, retrograde amnesia, dissociative regression. Her mind had fractured. No memory. No defenses. She looks at me like I’m her only safe place, and maybe I am—on my terms.
