CHAPTER 71 Poisoned Promises

—Ethan’s Pov —Her smile was venom wrapped in silk.“To help,” Ivory had said. And then: “To destroy everything.”I didn’t flinch. I couldn’t afford to. My grip tightened around Sophia’s hand, not to comfort her—but to remind myself she was still real. Still here.Ivory stepped forward.
