James shrugged. “You need to make her believe. You have to reason with her.” Mark said wringing his hands as they all turned into each other ignoring lisa completely. “What does it matter? We do not need this Fate Girl.” phillip replied. “Yes we do.” Mark urged. “She could be the difference in this war. She could be the hero we…” “Hero?” phillip scoffed. “Look at her…” “If we have her on our side….”

There was no fucking way. "You’re lying." I growled, jumping to my feet and surging forward. "Tell me that you’re lying!" Kneeling down, I grabbed Ian’s torn shirt and tugged him towards me. He was lying. He had to be fucking lying! There was no way that everyone was dead. How could Azura and her warriors allow something like that? ‘Ashton,’ Leah huffed, reaching out a clawed hand and wrapping it around my wrist. ‘Let him speak.’

I knew every second I delayed was another moment of my life wasted on him. Before I boarded, Brian stopped by one last time. When he learned of my departure, he simply sighed and wished me happiness and peace in the future. I thanked him but felt a pang of sadness. Even Brian, an outsider, appreciated my years of sacrifice, while Reynold, who benefited most directly, was the first to betray me. Just before I boarded my flight, Reynold texted me. Reynold: "Honey, I made your favorite baked salmon today." Reynold: "I'll be there soon. Wait for me."

Please, let me stay with you. After a long moment, I replied in a calm and distant tone, "You don't have the right to stay with me, Andrew. Everything you have belongs to Daisy, not me. Didn't you already make your will? "For years, I've lived in the lies you created. Do you know how much I hated myself when I finally learned the truth? I hated myself for loving you, for falling in love with the man who destroyed everything." Looking at the face I had known for 20 years, the one that had slept beside me for five, I suddenly felt no more hatred.

I asked quietly. "Marco, I didn’t mean to lie. I just... I didn’t know how to tell you." "Who is he to you?" "He’s..." She swallowed. "He’s my best friend. Lucan’s my best friend. I just found out he was the leader of a rival mafia faction. He came to tell me. That was all." "That was all?" She nodded. "Yes." "So you snuck out to meet a rival don early in the morning and didn’t tell me, and lied about it afterward. But it was nothing?"

It's either she becomes a widow or I become a widower. "Did you hear the freaking news?!" Jay rushed into my living room and immediately picked the remote, turning the TV on. "Jay." I looked at him. "Sorry," He mouthed, but didn't turn it off anyway. "A girl named Sasha attacks a man named Colt and his wife for abandoning their child many years ago. We all know her, a most important model who now has lost her whole career. As for Mr Colt, his company was bombed last night. This is a shocking experience as no one knows the red wigged lady, that fights for abandoned kids. Bringing you more–"

"I'll only ever have one Luna in this lifetime. And it will always be Zoe." "But…" She tried to speak again, but the look in his eyes froze her where she stood. Whispers broke out among the guests. "Doesn't she have any shame? Luna just died, and she's already pushing the Alpha to bond?" "Seriously. She's nothing compared to Ms. Johnston." "Who does she think she is, trying to take the Luna's place?" The murmurs continued. Ruby's face turned pale, then flushed red as the whispers grew louder. Under the weight of everyone's judgment, she turned and fled the funeral in disgrace.

No matter what others thought, he had always defended me, trusted me without question. Now, he doubted me and raised his voice for Vivian and Sean. All I had for him was complete despair. Seeing my expression change, he quickly softened his tone. "Lia, I'm not blaming you. The boy is missing, and everyone's worried. If you know where he is, just tell us." I straightened and replied coldly, "I don't know. Don't ask me. Go to the police." Rudolf still did not believe me, difficulty all over his expression. "Lia…"

Nobody is. The messages kept coming, light and easy, like two people getting to know each other in the quiet hours. Anonymous asked about his favorite scenes in the books, shared a funny story about rereading one during a boring family trip, teased Leon gently when he gave short answers. Leon found himself replying with slightly longer messages, the shared interest pulling him in despite his skepticism. **Anonymous:** That captain’s choices in the third book… man, the moral dilemmas hit different. The way he questions everything. You ever feel like that? Like the world expects one thing from you but you’re not sure it’s right?

Is the girl always beside Sophie an impostor? I was wide awake then after reading the headline. I opened the link. The post had gone up on the university's message board at three that morning. [Does everyone remember Eve? The girl who follows Sophie everywhere and even made her bed on the first day of the semester?] [You thought she was just Sophie's roommate? How naive.] [Her father is actually a servant for the Lane family whose job is to serve them.] [So, she really is the Lane family's pet. Mystery solved.]
