That night. Touted obediently in his arms. Cysaged to the awkwardness I used to feel, it felt like the invisible wall in my heart-the one I couldn't explain of even fully understand-was slowly starting to crumble Linde by little, I found myself genuinely letting Carter in

He wanted to use me to gain access to the Gardners resources and connections. I wanted to leverage him to secure any foothold with the Boltons

But somewhere along the way, everything changed. What he wanted wasn't wealth or power, What he wanted was my heart.

That same heart-battered and broken into a million aves by Luke-had once vowed never to trust love again. But under Carter's gentle care. I found it starting to heal, bit by bit. I started to hope again, I wasn't scared of the future anymore because I knew he'd always be there.

"Yes. And now that my mom's pregnant with his child, there's no way he'd ever agree to leave her. I didn't. want to take that risk, so I decided not to bring it up"

In the darkness, I frowned deeply. "When a man starts having a change of heart, getting a divorce becomes nearly impossible. Sadie can make hun hesitate, but she doesn't have what it takes to push him to leave her. Have you notherd!
