"I'm gonna kick Calliope out and get with Silas myself, just you watch!" Yvette shot Gideon a smug look as she
spoke, practically glowing with confidence.
"Gideon, relax. If I ever hit it big, I'll remember to thank you. If it wasn't for you being my stepping stone, I'd
never have gotten close to Silas in the first place!"
Just thinking about the possibility of Silas coming to see her made her giddy. She'd have to find a way to reel him
in somehow.
Yvette was always pretty sure of her looks, and she knew men are at their most reckless when they're
disappointed. She'd even bought a little something special —a kind of "magic potion" if you will. Just a few drops
of it in the room would have Silas wrapped around her finger, she was certain.
At first, Gideon didn't quite understand what she was saying. He was used to Yvette claiming she had feelings for
him, so hearing her suddenly talk about going after Silas left him totally stunned. It took him a good minute to
really process what she'd said.
He stared at Yvette, disbelief all over his face. "What did you just say? You want to seduce Uncle Silas?"
"Yvette, are you out of your mind? You're my wife, and you want to go after my uncle? What the hell is wrong
with you?"
He shot her a look up and down, as if seeing her for the first time.

The more he looked at her, the more ridiculous the whole thing seemed. He realized now that Yvette had never
really cared about him; she'd only been with him because she thought it'd get her closer to his family's money.
Now that she saw he had nothing, she was ready to jump ship and set her sights on Silas.
Calliope was prettier, more capable, and cfrom a better family, but somehow Yvette thought she could
compete?
Gideon almost burst out laughing.
"You really think you're in the sleague as Calliope? Silas isn't spig whe eat whatever's put in front
of him, you know. He's pickier than anyone I've ever met."
"Yvette, you're gonna get yourself in a world of trouble if you keep this up. You're gonna regret it, big time.
Forget Silas, Callie alone could tear you apart."
Gideon had seen firsthand how formidable Calliope could be. Watching Yvette strut around like she had it all
figured out was honestly just...pathetic.
"She?" Yvette scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Sure, she can try to mess with me, but can she handle Silas? You really
think I don't have a plan?"
She looked at Gideon, cool as ever. "I
don't go into anything unprepared.
Silas is as good as mine. And the only reason I'm telling you all this is because you're stuck here, helpless. Even
if you tried to call someone, nobody would believe you Trust me."
Gideon let out a low laugh, shaking his head. "Yeah, no one would believe me. But you're still not gonna get what
you want. You're the dumbest woman I've ever met."
He couldn't be bothered to argue anymore.
