CHAPTER 80: A Promise of Trust

  Hannah's POV

  As Christian's words sank in, I felt a wave of warmth wash over me. The vulnerability in his voice, the honesty in his eyes, it was all so real, so raw.

  "I would never cheat on you, Christian," I said softly, my voice steady and filled with certainty. "Not now, not ever. You're the only one I want, the only one I'll ever want."
