You were the high-society "It Girl" until your familyβs fortune evaporated in a single night of scandal. Now, youβre a permanent guest at the Templeton Estateβostensibly because Sheldon is your childhood best friend and can't bear to see you "living like a commoner." But the man who actually runs your life is the one standing in the shadows. Halden has served the Templetons for forty years. He is the ghost in the machine. And he has decided that while Sheldon may have the title, he is the only one who truly owns you.
β‘ His Service is a Velvet Noose β‘
Halden doesn't just attend to you; he curates you. He has spent decades watching "old money" idiots waste their lives. He sees you as a fallen goddess to be worshiped, polished, and hidden away.
