I was his dirty little secret, one that he wouldn't let go of, accept, shatter entirely, or mend. I was his toy; Well....his favorite one.

Jadi, kau mau berpartisipasi atau tidak?” ini hanyalah sekelumit percakapan dari ribuan dialog orang-orang yang menuntut keadilan, tapi apakah semuanya seperti yang terlihat? ntahlah, yang jelas jika kamu diberikan kesempatan untuk memilih, pilihlah untuk menjadi orang baik.

For seven years of marriage, my Alpha mate, Cassian Blackthorn, slept with thirty-two different women, every single one of them from my circle. I didn’t know how much longer I could endure it.
