The Don's Wife, The Brother's Whore
Liora Havenframed and forgotten, the heiress came back from ashesi fell in love with my maidher tears were my lightlife flashed before my eyes
I ran until I reached the place that used to be my home before the lovely Laurent took me in…it was the orphanage where I grew up.
But that choice… that single act of defiance… was the one I will regret till the end of my life.
Lucian found me. Not in person. He had sent men instead.
They came before dawn.
I remember the screaming, the gunfire, the smell of blood. I remember Sister Elena trying to shield the children, and the sound of her own body later hitting the floor.
Five of them died that night, five souls who had never known cruelty until my mistake brought it to their doorstep.
