Kindle Notes & Highlights
And in that moment, all I wanted to ask him was why. Why would he do that to me?
I have another chance, and I won’t use it to ask why. I’ll use it to make him pay.
Since his sole purpose has been to ruin us and the Irish, the perfect method to ruin him is to abort his plan. Only then can he die. Only then can he pay for his sin.
“You look like the strong-stuff type.” “I actually prefer wine, but it doesn’t suit my killer image so I’ve been hiding it.”
I clear my throat. “I’m up here.” He doesn’t break eye contact. “You’re also down there.” Jerk.
I’ve heard stories about the black widow spider who kills her mate after mating, and I always found it fascinating how she followed her instinct, even if it meant killing her own husband. I guess we’re the same that way.
if she gets to know me better, maybe she’ll understand my motives and eventually remember me.
“How did you end up here too?” “They took me in place of Boss.” “Kirill?” “Yes.” “Why would they want to take Kirill?” “I’m not sure. I just knew I had to protect him.”
“I don’t hate you.” “Your boss does.” “That’s because you’re threatening him, miss.” “Only to protect myself. I won’t cause any of you harm if you don’t cause me harm.”
She’s a woman. Aleksander has a been a woman all along.
“It’s Aleksandra,”
I’m sure dire circumstances pushed her to hide her gender. Maybe I can steal her away.
She has the ability to make me feel like I do have filthy hands, and those hands keep on tarnishing her over and over again.
It was a way to keep her with me, bind her to me so she’d never think of leaving me. Did I go overboard by switching out her pills? Probably.
Being inside Rai is like finding home—which is bloody weird considering I’ve never had a home. And until her, I didn’t think I had the right to covet it.
“I’m going to abort the baby.”
He wronged me. He put a baby in me without my permission,
Being gay is like being a woman in this world—though I suspect he’s bisexual.
Should I start with the child first? Would that give you a good enough incentive?”
“I’ll pretend I know nothing about Reina’s existence if you tell the brotherhood about me.”
Adrian told me about Kirill’s plans. He owes me one.
He’s never actually had a family. Could that be why he yearns for one of his own?
It’s the first time I’ve seen Kyle so carefree and smiling without calculation.
“Aiden King and Cole Nash.” “The heirs to the King and Nash fortunes.” “You know them?” “Everyone in England does. Their companies are everywhere like cockroaches.”
“Is having a child with me such a tragedy?”
“One last time.” “What?” “Let me have you. One last time.”
“I missed you before, and I’ll miss you now.”
Tomorrow. Tomorrow we’ll talk and I’ll tell him I’m not aborting. I’ll tell him I want us to have the family neither of us had before. Kyle, the baby, and me.
“You’re not supposed to kill Rolan. That’s not what the boss wants yet.”
I’m the one who pushed Rai after she overheard your plan.”
I woke up one morning and realized you didn’t need me anymore. That you never have.
You’re too individualistic and independent, and having me by your side would’ve only hindered your master plan in the brotherhood.
I’ve been making one move after another with the sole purpose of forcing you to stay with me.
You became an obsession without whom I can’t breathe or think.
Thank you for making me feel like a man, not a shadow,
“Are you…Kyle’s…” “Godfather, yes. My official name is Ghost, but you can call me Julian.”
“He was defective from a young age, and he will never love normally or have fairytale characteristics. He’s obsessive, he’s driven, and he can become reckless sometimes. It’s who he is and it will never change.”
“Sadly, I was attacked by one of your closest men. Your grandniece’s husband, I believe. How unfortunate.”
“Can you call a meeting? I have a plan.”
Find yer father, Kyle. He’s not a ghost.
Rai is here. With Rolan. Just like in the scene from my nightmare.
I don’t care if I’m turning into a monster; they shouldn’t have messed with my light. Because he is. Even with his darkness, he’s the light
“So, once upon a time, there was a monster.”
“He was all alone and with nowhere to go. He felt empty and with no purpose and always thought his existence didn’t matter. To make it worse, other monsters wanted to kill him.”
“He was saved by a strong princess.”
“Then, she took him to her castle and healed his wounds. After that, they gave birth to three beautiful monsters who looked just like you.”
“Good night, my little monsters.”
