"I saw him not long ago. That's Cassian, Pierce's younger brother. He almost never shows up in public.
The second they recognized Cassian, a spark lit up in several girls' eyes.
Not only is he gorgeous, but he's also from the Lysander family, one of the Five Great Families of Regalhold. How

As he stopped in front of her, the girls all collectively held their breath. Wait? Does he actually like Isla?’ they
wondered. Under their puzzled stares, Cassian looked down slightly at Isla, who was still on the ground. The way
he gazed at her was as if he were looking at a corpse.
"I broke your wrist last time. Still haven't learned your lesson?" His voice was soft, but every single person in the
