"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

I tried to take another step forward but the shadows between us pulsed, keeping me at bay.

She sighed and her face impassive. "Do you know? To be helpless while the world falls around you? To watch people you care for suffer and know you can do nothing to stop it?"

I had to push down a desperate swallow "I know more than you think"

She turned her head from side to side "No Vickson. You have always had control and Power. You don't understand what it is to be the one being left behind"

I clenched my jaw "So you bargained with him?"

Her lips tightened "I didn't do it for myself"

And then—she spoke a name that shattered everything.

A cold, strangling silence closed around us.

She had been dead. Lost. Gone from us in a way that none of us could ever undo.
