Maxon's P.O.V.

America is back in the palace. After 8 years she's back. I wonder if she's married. Never mind, why would I care?

"Maxon?" Kriss asked

"Yes my dear?" America hated it when I called her that

"Are you ok?" She asked

"Darling, you keep telling me to keep the castes but I really think we need to get rid of them." I sighed

For a brief second panic flashed in her eyes. But it was gone in a jiff, leaving me wondering if it was really there

"It'll only cause unrest."

"Bu-" She cut me off

"It's because of America isn't it?" She asked

"Ms. Singer has nothing to do with it." I said

"Why are you assuming she's not married?" Kriss shot back "Do you hope she's not married?" 

"My dear let's go to sleep? Forget about this?" I offered, opening my arms

"Oh well." She yawned, crawling into them  

We both fell asleep quickly.

Kriss's P.O.V.

Maxon let out a snort. He was definitely asleep.

I crept out of his arms.

My nightgown swished against my skin. 

I crept into my room.

My private phone sat on my nightstand

I dialed his number.

"Kriss?" Liam asked

"I can't anymore! Maxon wants to eliminate the castes. I can't stop him anymore." I whisper-yelled

"Kriss. You keep your husband controlled. Because I swear on Gregory Illea that Anna and Andrew aren't safe." He said menacingly

"No!" I breathed

"Yes." He growled

"You keep away from my children! They are not a part in this." I screamed as softly as I could

"We'll see. We'll see." He said, hanging up.

I dropped the phone and raced to Anna's room.

She was there sleeping on her bed, her diary opened.

I sat down on the bed next to her, stroking hair out of her face.

The name Liam caught my eye in a page of her journal.

Dear Diary,

A man named Liam keeps visiting us. I don't know what he wants but he's nice. I wonder if Mother or Father know him?

Me and Andrew got a music tutor. She's super nice, but she seems nervous about being in the palace. When I picked her Lady Brice tried to hide a laugh. I wonder what that was about? 

Tomorrow, Mother and Father will meet her. Maybe her and mother have a history. Or her and father. Yuck, I'm not thinking about that. I'm getting sleep so I'm going to sleep.

Goodnight diary

I was outraged. Liam had been visiting Anna? I sighed, looking at her beautiful face.

Her honey blonde hair was down and splayed across the mattress.

Next I went to Andrew's room. He was also in his bed, clutching his ragged stuffed bear.
