I stared at the picture for a long time.

The Reed family wasn't short of money. Now, it wasn't short of her as a wife either. Seeing Vivian cry miserably, the housekeeper hurried to comfort her. "Ms. Blake, honestly, Mr. Reed shouldn't have asked for a divorce. This morning, I saw the gift he bought you for your sixth anniversary..." Vivian walked into the villa and saw the gift the housekeeper mentioned. Inside was a scarf I had knitted by hand. Last year's scarf is old. Don't force yourself to wear it anymore.

*** When I woke up, Johan was sitting on the edge of the bed, shirtless and smoking. He heard me move and looked back. A check landed on the bed in front of me. I stared at it. He only said a few words. "I'm bored with you." Something inside me cracked. Like porcelain shattering, sharp pieces cut across my heart. Still, my voice came out calm. I even smiled. "I've got less than three months left. Couldn't you wait a little longer?" Johan frowned. "Yara Yelton, you should know your place."

"If ignorance is so safe, why can't you sleep at night? Why do you check your rearview mirror at every intersection? Why does the name Emeka Okonkwo still make your blood run cold?" She had no answer. She could only stare at him, her eyes burning, her throat tight with words she could not say. Dante pulled back. He reached into his jacket again—this time, for a second photograph. He placed it on the desk beside the first. Zara looked down. This photograph showed a woman—young, beautiful, radiant. She was wearing a white dress, her hair crowned with flowers, her smile wide and genuine. She was standing in a garden, surrounded by rose bushes and sunlight.

The place was spotless. My gaze swept the room and landed on the coffee table, where several small white bottles were lined up in perfect order. I recognized them instantly—enhanced sedatives. That amount could have put five werewolves to sleep forever.

In my hands I rotated the note that came with the bouquet, and the short message in it caused goosebumps in addition to the gift attached to the words. The sick bastard was well prepared, not even too lazy to find out when my birthday was. Some nightmare! And I thought that with Boris I knew all the limits of torture and pain, but it turned out that there were no limits at

We then prepared more dishes together and sat down to taste the food we had made. That warm, happy feeling made me feel as if I were back home. We also wandered through the small streets of the city together. Medhel's backstreets were full of artistic charm, lined with all kinds of specialty shops on both sides.

The Russian smirked, "You wouldn't do the knock-knock game this time?" "Nope, you were never a game." Ruslan met his eyes, unflinching, "What if I rise from the dead—again?" Adler's lips twitched, "Not this time."
