I was hoping for a HEA too ... have to say

Scared and teary..... wow. Thanks.

I got changed from Spanish class to German in high school, my German teacher threw a chalk duster at me when I answered him in Spanish instead of German, yr 9. Havent thought of that for years 😂 I was day dreaming. Mind you I couldn't teach kids to save myself, Id loose it at them too. As for Bastiens transgressions I am going with 'for his safety'

Ok while I overthink I have never been big on any conspiracy theories I have to admit I bit the hook, finally. Perhaps Lukas died to protect Bastien being the heir and the circle protects him? Maybe Lukas had ulterior motives?

Interesting.... I am left thinking two things, curses only need someone to believe them to make them true, the power that the brain gives to such things can cause a lot of damage and if there is a will there is a way and if someone wants/needs an heir they will think outside the box to get what they want right or wrong. As for the numbers, not happening after 16 hours brain just screams NO.

So it was Bastiens choice to loose and Anton is struggling to maintain Bastiens image/status when Bastien perhaps wants a little more equality and privacy. If the moto is to be believed then the golden circles places were dictated by someone, what better way to debunk it all than to challege, change and force the way Varidien works into the light. Is it all the school or families with money image and power. Again Abelard behaves in a defensive manner. So many questions...

Maybe the person that took the photo would avoid attention that was aggressive perhaps it needed to be more subtle like during a horse riding lesson or possible it is back with Bastien. Patiently waits for naked wrestling....

Bread, that @Laura S. Fox is a little stroke of genius. Why do villians always come in creepy pairs. I hope they will both be in handcuffs at the end and not for any type of fun. I also dont think Anton is jealous as such I think he finds it hard to maybe monitor or protect Bastien and doesn fully trust Lawrence to do it. Chaste is not celebate.

Im a little horrified "I made him" "With my body" "I was the first room he lived in" Psychologically speaking .... run. No sex is hot when the thrid person in the room is ANYONES mum much less ur own.

There was a very big missed opportunity.... Bastien with fragility initiated a conversation but Lawrence was ruled by another umm... brain. Missed opportunity indeed. Who took the photo and the part where Lawrence was saying he could see love, did he mean in the photograph or the photographer? I was a little confused but it may be work brain. Oh and hot, nice.

Wondering about the exact nature of Bastiens and Lucas' relationship.... B is passionate to defend those he loves or cares about.... and while it makes sense to be susupricious of that and the death... Im considering that the "love/affection" was a rouse, maybe wrong but I think there is a lit to their supposed relationship.

It was an interesting side to Anton, seems like he didnt want to make Abelard jealous.

I love Elliot....chapter cracked me up. Read it more than one just so I could keep laughing.

As for the cars being a secret? How could they be? Highlights the fact no one was stuck at the school, teacher or otherwise at any time. I think it suits most of the golden circle to keep the focus on Bastien. Makes moving laterally easier for people especially those less in focus.

Firstly very cool comment... So if Anton and his car speaks true...and as it is written Anton is/was senior or came first and Bastien is still central, you mentioned potential possessivness, is Anton possessive of Bastien or an ideology in which he is the focus?
