“I don’t think Amaya would betray us,” Evelina responded in a measured tone.Evelina's words rang in my ears, but doubt had already taken root. I had always trusted Amaya with my life, but recent events had shattered that trust. She'd been helping Raina keep her pregnancy a secret from me. It made s
**Evelina's POV **I knew Gabe was ruthless. Capable of far worse than I’d ever seen in my short life. But I still couldn’t help but shudder. The witch’s screams bounced off the damp stone walls of the torture chamber, as I watched him deftly stick his knife right into the middle of her pupil. He’d

Anything except for her finding out through the damn recording itself! Fuck, I hated my past delusional self. The one that thought I could take charge and handle everything so Evelina could stay cocooned in a safety net of luxury and shopping. That wasn’t her. That wasn’t us. Our relationship dynami
