"You're... not Zane?" she gasped. "God, no." Zion smirked, his eyes burning with hunger. "I’m the twin who’s about to make you forget your own name." He claimed her lips in a kiss so wild, it tasted like a beautiful, forbidden sin. At doon nalaman ni Ava—ang "maling akala" pala ang pinakamasarap na pagkakamali sa buhay niya.
