"Did you think that I would marry you instead of her? C'mon, you are only an orphan. No one knows where you originate from," Vickson's words kept repeating in Hailey's head after he had just embarrassed her by choosing her stepsister as his mate instead.
As if that was not enough for him, he still forced himself on her. And Hailey is blamed by her adoptive mother, as she forces the both of them to get married. She didn't want to bear the shame of what people would say.
But her stepsister, Ava, would rather die than watch the two of them live in peace as husband and wife….
Ava becomes their worst nightmare!

I want you back mate

Vickson had stopped and he was looking at me.

His black eyes held nothing of the man I had known. Only an abyss.

"Do you think you can stop this?" His voice dropped low, nearly curious. "You think I can stop this?"

I carry the weight of those words in my chest.

He was telling me it was already too late.

Emilia's voice broke through the haze. "Vickson, listen to me"

One second he stood across from me. The next, he was in front of me, his hand around my throat.

Ava screamed. Emilia's power flared. But it didn't matter.

Vickson lifted me off the ground like I weighed nothing.

Not just physically, something deeper.
