But obsession doesn’t care about rules… at ganoon din si Flora. Lalabanan ba ni Flora ang namumuong pag-ibig kay Damien, o susuko sa isang mapanganib na pagnanasa na maaaring sumira sa kanilang dalawa?

"My brother is a saint, Ava. But me? I like getting my hands dirty," Zion whispered, nipping her earlobe. "And for the record... Zane is at dinner with your sister right now. So, who are you moaning for?" Ava’s eyes widened. Maling kambal. Pero nang maramdaman niya ang kamay ni Zion na humahaplos sa kanyang hita, nawalan na siya ng lakas tumakbo.

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.
