I will not waste it by reaching for more. I spent five years cataloging exactly what I threw away, and the cruelest entry in the whole ledger is this one: that the woman beside me, who owes me nothing, who I broke and abandoned and left for dead, is still, even now, even here at the bottom of the cold world, the most generous creature I have ever known.

The frozen cube slid across the polished surface and hit the center with a soft thud. Inside? A human tongue. Pale. Preserved. The kind of pink you only saw in death. Eyes narrowed. No one gasped. Of course not. These were men and woman who’d seen tongues torn out of screaming mouths. Who’d stepped over bodies like puddles. “What’s this?” the only other woman at the table, Donatella, Don of the Scarlet Hand, asked, her fingers tinkling with diamonds that dripped down her wrists like water. Her voice was curious but amused. Not horrified.

"I'm her sister, Claire Portman. My sister passed away. Yesterday, I meant to bring you some of her things, but I drank too much. I can't remember anything after that." I cast a glance at the crumpled clothes scattered on the floor and quickly looked away. "Did you mistake me for Mandy yesterday? I'm sorry for drinking. I was just so sad… Now, it's only me left." Tears silently slid down my cheeks. The comments kept flooding in. "Come on, she's making excuses for Xavier. He's not blind—he reacted immediately when she fell into his arms soaking wet." "No man could resist a beautiful woman clinging to him like that. She's definitely plotting something."

“She’s been right the whole time. For sixty years.” They walked through to the garden room together, all of them, though Cloe noticed Charles slowing his pace, falling slightly behind, the way someone walks when they’re not sure their legs will carry them all the way to where they’re going. The garden room was bright, full of afternoon light, glass doors open to a small terrace, and in a chair by the window, wrapped in a soft blue blanket despite the warmth, sat a very old woman, white haired, thin, looking out at the garden with the particular stillness of someone who had spent decades looking at the same view and had made peace with it, the way you make peace with anything you can’t change

The woman voiced out. Munawarrah sighed, "I've been addressed worst, slut, manipulative, cheap whore, husband snatcher... May I go on?" "You really are shameless" Amal said staring viciously at Muna. "I would've offered you something to drink but, seeing as you didn't have the simple courtesy to act classy, why then should I treat you like someone with class?" "Says the woman who has warmed the bed of too many men to be able to count so as to land her in this position."

"GOOD evening, ma'am! Welcome back!" A woman in her early forties stepped out of a luxury car and smiled at the elderly man who greeted her. She took a deep breath and looked around the mansion in front of her. It was grand and screamed wealth and elegance. It looked like a royal palace that could capture anyone's attention—intimidating yet astonishing. It was larger than life but definitely appropriate for a woman like her. It was exactly the kind of place where she could show everyone her power and dominance.

“They think they do.” She shot me a look, worried. “Ma’am…” “It’s fine,” I said, keeping my voice even. “Let them talk.” Inside, though, something cold and resolute settled into place.

As we moved farther from the council hall, Layla began pointing things out more deliberately, almost protectively, like she was trying to anchor me to the land itself.

“Over and over again.” “She’s testing versions of you,” Luca added. “Seeing which one becomes the strongest.” A door opened behind them. The woman in white stepped inside, untouched by smoke or fear. Rook followed. Quiet. Controlled. Like a machine in mourning. “You weren’t supposed to find this yet,” the woman said. “But that’s fine. You always were an overachiever, Noa.” “Turn it off,” Noa said coldly. She just laughed. “You still think you’re the real one?”

So, he found comfort with other women. Tyler’s earlier words played in my mind. His denial of me as his wife felt like a sharp bone lodged in my throat. Before I realized it, tears silently spilled from the corners of my eyes. Just then, my phone buzzed with a text. It was from Tyler. [I couldn’t find you, so I left first. [I’ve got a surprise waiting at home. Don’t be mad, okay? [Oh, and Mom says she misses us. Let’s visit her when we get the chance.]
