Chapter Two Hundred and Three

ALEXANDER’S POV

It was almost unnerving how similar she had looked to Kaida. Her voice sounded so much like hers–I had hesitated, and in that moment of weakness, Cynthia escaped.

It all made sense now. I could recall that incident. When Kalla had walked into the room, looking all seductive, I had given in so easily. And then–she ‘d lifted the dagger to my chest. I hadn’t realized it wasn’t her. For a fleeting moment, I had even thought the weapon was just another tease.

But then she’d stabbed me, and too late I realized something different about her–something I hadn’t picked up on earlier. Her eyes. They were different, not because they weren’t the same grey I knew, but because it felt like they belonged to a stranger, not the woman I had known and fallen for.

Kaida had taken the blame, but of course, she could never have done such a thing. She’d never have gone through with it, and I couldn’t believe I was just realizing that now.

“It’s not your fault. Cynthia excels at those kinds of mind tricks,” Kaida said to me, her eyes scanning me–she only needed one glance to know exactly what was on my mind.

“I could have ended her–I mean, I knew that wasn’t you, and yet…”

Kadia walked towards me. “Everyone makes mistakes, but this is the closest we’ve come to actually breaking through to her. She always seemed so untouchable. How did you pull that off? How did you even know it would work?” she asked.

I thought back to the incident. I had walked in on her threatening Kaida, and I was mad, but as for the ‘how‘–I
