LEONARD'S POV
The only person who could betray me was Catherine. She had been acting strange for some time, and I suspected she might turn on me. Still, I didn’t think she’d actually go through with it. Yet here I am, behind bars, and the betrayal is as clear as daylight.
I wasn’t about to let her enjoy freedom and luxury while I rotted in this hellhole. No way. If she thought I’d sit quietly, she underestimated me. I turned her in without hesitation. Love? Don’t make me laugh. I never loved her. The only thing I admired was her power—or rather, the power I thought she had. She spun lies about being connected to the Hearthstone family, and like a fool, I believed her. But it was all a ruse, and now, she’s paying the price for it.
