Okay, that’s about enough. I didn’t even have to reach for Victoria’s granddaughter. I was already there. I looked at her,
and Mira wilted.

“Go back to your table.” My voice was icy. “You’ve embarrassed yourself enough”


😖 what was that comeback? that was embarrassing

“I hate you.” The emotional dam broke and words tumbled out. “You walked into my life and screwed it all up. I’ve wanted you
for so long, and now you show up, and you flirt with me,”


🫩🤦🏻‍♀️ oh naurr

He seemed lost in thought, and I felt like I had signed my soul away and
sealed the contract with my blood. What had I gained? Was it anything at all?



😔 this is why Rogan refused, he’s in power to do so and he knows what it’s going to cost

“Each sample of the Osiris serum is synthesized using DNA from an actual human being,” Linus said.


🧐 huh seems familiar to home, also probably this is why there were people who had ancient magic, outside of this serum

“Where did you find this charmer?” Linus asked me.

“In an abandoned mall. He followed me home.”


🤔 both of them were there during your test, you also met both for the first time at that test

“I took the dagger and pricked my thumb. A drop of blood swelled.

“Place it on the gem.”

“Linus Duncan.”

in Texas.


😪 isn’t he the bad man? Caesar? salad?

“You looked like death warmed over,” Grandma said. “You may be the Head of House Baylor, but you’re still my granddaughter
and I won’t be taking any of your bullshit.”
“How is my sweater coming along, Grandma? Have you knitted more than two inches yet?”

🤣😭

He had killed Conway. It didn’t bother him. It didn’t disturb him any more than swatting a fly. Alessandro had stabbed a human
being in the heart before. Many, many, many times before.
I’d made a serious error in judgment.


🫩 you’re just there sputtering letting him get away UGGHH Nevada wouldn’t

“I assume they keep you around because you’re good at your job, since your manner and conduct are appalling. That you would
meet a survivor with aggression and arrogance is beyond any guidelines of the ME’s office or common human decency.”


🧐 sus i tell you

This makes no sense to me: the grace period for the house runs out the following day, but Nevada and Rogan go on a holiday on another continent.

”I couldn’t even. My ability to even was severely compromised.”
