Heart of Gold Read online

  Rhi walked to his office to find the door closed. He was always at his desk working during the day. She tried the handle, only to find it locked. That never stopped a Fae. All she had to do was teleport inside. Except, the locked door was significant. It told her that Con wanted her out of his life.

  She placed a palm on the panel as her body shook with fresh tears. They fell rapidly down her cheeks as she leaned forward to place her forehead against the wood. Of all the people she’d thought would hurt her, she had never believed it would be Con. He had been the one to shelter her. Defend her.

  Love her.

  “Con,” she whispered, knowing he could hear her on the other side of the door. “Please. Talk to me. I deserve that, at least.”

  The silence that followed was like a knife twisting in her heart. Darius had delivered his words, but Con had made sure she got the message loud and clear with the locked door and complete silence.

  Rhi shoved away from the doorframe, stumbling backwards in incredulity—and even a bit of anger. Her vision blurred with her tears, her world gone flat. She had woken up believing it would be another great day with the dragon she loved. Only to discover that her perfect world had been ripped asunder. How was she to carry on?

  The other half of her heart, her soul, had turned his back on her. He had withdrawn his love. And she had no idea why. It was the worst kind of blow.

  Rhi stared at the wooden door that swam in her vision as she thought of all the happy times they had shared at Dreagan. But that was over now, no matter how much she wished it otherwise. She had come to Con to beg him to talk to her. Whatever had caused him to break things off hadn’t been because of her. She had given him everything she had.

  And it hadn’t been enough.

  Her face crumpled as a wave of grief tore through her. She bent at the waist, her mouth open on a silent scream of misery. It was all too much. She jumped back to the Fae doorway. This time, she didn’t hesitate to step through.
