"If you're willing, I promise that I will use the rest of my life to slowly make it up to you. I will protect you, keep you safe, and never let you feel upset or aggrieved again." He then grabbed my hand and pleaded, "Don't act impulsively and marry someone you don't love just to make me mad. You know all along that the only person I've ever loved has only been you." I flung his hands off abruptly. My eyes were cold and hard as I stared right at him. "Stop lying to yourself and to me, Luca D'Angelo. You don't regret anything at all. You're just resentful about things ending up this way.

I could still feel it, but it was farther away now. It felt muffled, more like the pain wasn't mine and it belonged to someone else. I looked around the bar. There were men everywhere. I wondered which one of them would want me. Which one of them would make me feel wanted tonight. Which one of them would prove James wrong. My phone buzzed in my bag. I pulled it out and squinted at the screen. A text from Delia. “You really thought you could win? You’ve always been nothing. I slept with James on your pathetic wedding night. I stopped him from registering your marriage. I hope you know your place now. Enjoy being alone, sister.”

In just a few sentences, Sandra had twisted my death into a tantrum—another of my petty tricks, a fake message meant to mislead them. I clenched my fists. I already knew the truth in my heart, but still, I found myself glancing at Reese, waiting. He was quiet for a moment. Then his expression turned cold. "Keep looking," he snapped at the assistant. "Carmen's a snake. She loves playing these games with me. The moment you find her, hand her that signed divorce agreement. If she won't sign it, force her to. She's no longer my wife. And don't forget to take 800cc of her blood."

she decided to change the direction of the conversation, her legs now touching the ground, “if things didn’t become shitty, we would have had our mating ceremony.” “That is true,” he replied, his eyes filled with regret. But he quickly got rid of his guilt and hopefulness filled his eyes. “Regardless of what happened, you are still my mate. And,” he reached for her hands, “you are forever my queen.” “If you betray me again, I will burn you alive.” Kailin nodded like a pup, his smile very contagious. “I deserve that. Long ago, I should have suffered that fate. So, do not hesitate if I ever hurt you again.”

Like both of them had stepped too close to the edge of something neither wanted to fall into. Elias stared out the window, voice lower now. “I wish I could remember it the way you do. All of it. Not just feelings. Not just this… ache in my chest.” Lucas’s fingers tightened around his mug. “You really don’t remember anything? Not even how it ended?” “No,” Elias said, his voice flat with defeat. “Not even how it began.” Lucas let the silence swallow that truth. He couldn’t be the one to say it the betrayal, the cracks that widened until they broke, the last fight that sounded like a goodbye even if neither admitted it.

I turned to look at her but quickly averted my gaze the second we made eye contact. “You were going to leave me Elara, I know you had a good reason…but still….” I wanted to continue, but couldn't find the words. “I was consumed by anger and betrayal. I mean, I'd just found out you lied to me for the second time after you promised you would never lie to me again.” “But I didn't lie…I just didn't tell you about it.” “It doesn't make it any better, you kept that information from me intentionally, and you weren't supposed to do that."

Tom exhaled, checked his watch, and turned toward the bar path. He didn’t see me. I stayed frozen against the tree, my breath shallow, heart slamming so hard I thought it might crack a rib. Tom? Solid, reliable, joke-cracking Tom? The one who’d stayed up until 3 a.m. with me debugging code last week? The one who’d teared up talking about Isabella’s dad? He walked away, his footsteps fading. I didn’t move. Couldn’t. The betrayal hit in waves—first shock, then fury, then something colder.

Classic chaos card. She tapped it lightly. “A tragic death in a past life. Something you blindly ran into after being betrayed.” I snorted before I could stop myself. “Right. Very original.” She didn’t react, just moved to the next card with the same card. Present: The Lovers in reversed. Two figures standing apart, a broken bond between them. Her smile stiffened, just for a second. She glanced at me with a pitied expression then back at the card. “Betrayal by love,” she said quietly. “In this life. Someone you trusted… chose another. The wound still bleeds.”

"I watched Dimitri and Alexei work together. Build the family business. They were united. Strong like brothers." She stood up and paced the room. "But then you came along. Am ordinary slave. A nobody. And Dimitri fell for you. He became obsessed with you. He pushed Alexei away. He forgot what it meant to be a Volkov. " "That is not true," I said. "Is it not?" Lucia asked. "Alexei betrayed Dimitri because he felt abandoned. Because his brother chose you over him. All of this pain, all of this suffering, it all started with you."
