---- Ile didn't deserve this.

Deserve me.

He was too good.

His love was too pure and I was tainted.

My lips had been tainted with Damiens soft ones.

Yet here he was, worshipping me like I was the light in his world, and I...

T was the one betraying him.

Choice.

Thave to make a choice now I cant continue this.

This wasnt me.

I may be many things but I wasnt a betrayer.

Ihave no idea what love is.

Tam not even sure who I live.

But when his hands roamed my body with a mix of reverence and need, when his words surrounded me like a shield, I let myself forget.

---- Chapter 507 I let myself forget how Damien pushed me away how he looked at me Damien had pulled back, recoiling from my touch as if it burned, but Vince? Vince held me like I was his entire world.

Was I right? Was this what I deserved?Had I been too blind to see it all this time? Damien was my mate, but Vince...

he was the father of my child.

Thave to choose one And my decision has been made.

As the steam swirled around us, cocooning us in an intimate haze, I let myself feel something I hadn't in a long time.noveldrama

The door opened, and a guard stepped in, bowing slightly.

"Lordie, she has requested to see you." Adrian and Damien exchanged glances before the guard moved aside, revealing Alexia.

Her movements were hesitant but deliberate as she stepped forward.

"Stalker? What are you doing here?" Damien asked, his voice sharp with confusion.

Her hands balled into fists at her sides as she took a deep breath.

---- "I've decided.

I will stay and help you make the antidote." Adrian's face lit up, relief and hope flooding his features.

"Truly? That's incredible news!" But Damien stepped closer, his hands gripping her shoulders tightly.

"Are you out of your mind? Didn't I tell you to run? To save yourself?" Alexia smiled softly, her eyes steady as they met his.

"I'm helping you, Damien...

helping Princess Zariyan and everyone else.

You called me selfish before, didnt you? Well, I'm trying to be selfless for once." His grip loosened as her words sank in, disbelief etched across his face.

"That's not what I meant" "It doesnt matter, she interrupted gently.
