“We both know it hasn’t been easy for us to get to where we are today. No matte

Lila lowered her hand and looked at him coldly. For the first time, her temper fared, causing her to map at him.
Though she appeared petite and delicate, with typically gentle features, at this moment, she was as cold and unyielding as frost.
“Dorian, we were no longer the same as betere the moment you started leaving me repeatedly for other women “
The white overhead light accentuated her slightly raised brows and eyes, intensifying her cold expression. She looked like now strayed from a wintery realm — beautiful but cold ver impossible to approach
