Caden replied, his voice filled with remorse and helplessness. Angry tears streamed down Olivia's cheeks, muffling her voice as she spoke, "Wrong. You could have said and done so much more back then, in that corridor! But no, you waited for three weeks to show up with your sorry face! And what excuse did you come up with? This book!"

Is that how everything we had shared would have gone down the drain? Is that how she would have died with me not forgiving her?

Kael is in a Council holding cell, facing charges of intentional harm with a silver weapon and high-value theft. His mother stands outside the Committee headquarters every day. She holds a sign, screaming about a conspiracy, demanding the Council punish me for destroying her son and restore his ‘good name’. I didn’t hesitate. I released the memory-crystal recording from the jeweler’s den onto the public Pack network. She asked for proof. I, being a dutiful member of the community, saw it as my civic duty

I felt a sense of relief wash over me, knowing that she would face justice for her crimes. But even as I thought about Riezel's downfall, I knew that I had to move forward. I had to leave the past behind and start anew. Raphael and I had decided to sell the hacienda, to leave behind the memories of pain and heartache that lingered within its walls.

RECKLESS HEARTS HEIRS OF THE TRIQUETRA - BOOK 1 ~ MILENA ~ The dog won’t stop barking. Slamming itself against the metal chain link fence outside in the alleyway, as if desperate to escape from what is to come. I could shut the window to block it out, but the heat is unbearable.

And now, she would pay the price. My revenge wouldn’t be rushed. It would be a slow burn she wouldn’t even see until it was too late. I sighed and stopped. I didn’t want to think too much right now.
