Back when I signed the contract, I was so focused on pursuing him that I didn't carefully review the details. All I knew was that Aaron would now be forever tied to me.

Don't hurt Azazel anymore by keeping him tied up in your false marriage.” Rose sniffled at the mention of Azazel. Her heart grew more heavy just thinking again of her betrayal. She saw the bacon slice come towards her mouth when she shoved the fork out of his hand and tossed over the tray to the floor before she got up. “I told you I wasn't hungry. I only want to be alone. Alone Stephano!” Another wave of tears came rushing down. “Aren't you ashamed at all for what happened? We...we did something wrong. It was a sin

she confessed, her voice shaking with the weight of her admission. The room fell into a heavy silence, the tension thickening as the reality of her betrayal settled between them. Roberto's expression shifted between anger and hurt, struggling to process the breach of trust. "You allowed our personal and professional lives to become this intertwined?"

“That’s the Reese I know. Always ready to fight fate itself.” “I don’t have a choice,” I said. “If it’s about Jaxon or the pack, I’ll do whatever it takes.” Nina closed her eyes briefly, as though trying to steady herself. “You’ll have to. Because the betrayal isn’t just about power, Reese. It’s about trust.
