"Well, to be honest, it's yours, but if you give it to me, I can use it to take back the company and return it to you as soon as I am done with it." "You do not have to ask them for that; take it and use it however you like. I do not care." Lila replied when she saw that Levi was not sure if she was going to release it to him. She had just gone to offer herself as a sacrifice to her mother so that she would win. Why would he think that a few scraps were going to make her betray him? "Are you sure?

Malachai’s voice came from everywhere, dragging her back, anchoring her to the weight of what she had witnessed. Lyla turned And she was no longer in the past. She was back in the abyss. Back in the present. Malachai stood before her, his black eyes burning. "This is the legacy you have claimed." Lyla’s breath came fast, her heartbeat thunderous. Because he wasn’t wrong.

Because his legacy, his bloodline, has been soiled by betrayal, Lucia and Valentina are determined to bring him to his knees. The renegade Alpha Carlos Varela then emerges with a threatening smile as a mysterious voice pierces the environment.
