Chapter 1047

“Chasel's nothing like Ethan... Aside from their faces, you couldn't find two people more different..."

Cassius kept his head bowed, voice thick with pain, rough and barely above a whisper. “Chasel isn't actually all that gentle. He's reckless, stubborn, spoiled, throws tantrums—sometimes he's even more dramatic than a teenage girl..."

"But God help me, I love him. I just can't stop loving him."

Evadne squeezed her eyes shut, fighting back tears.

Honestly, Chasel reminded her of herself—if she'd been born a guy.

And the way her brother loved Chasel... it was just like how Thaddeus used to treat her: indulgent, endlessly forgiving, the kind of love that spoiled you rotten. You don't treat someone like that unless you love them down to your bones.

"Evie... I screwed up. I messed up, big time."

Cassius' broad shoulders shook. “Yeah, I was drawn to Chasel because he looked like Ethan. But what I fell for... was his soul."

“But I'm terrified. I'm scared that if Chasel finds out about my history with Ethan, he'll leave me. So I kept it all bottled up. I couldn't bring myself to tell him. I wanted to give him a perfect love story."

"That was my mistake. God, if I'd only known... if I'd only known..."

Cassius choked up, unable to go on. The rose he was clutching-its thorns dug deep into his palm, blood beading between his fingers.

Evadne steadied herself and asked quietly, “Cass, before you came here, you got a phone call. Who was it?" "lan... He's the guy Ethan called his brother back at the orphanage. But they were closer than blood. Both of them were my right-hand men when I was in charge at Cloudtop Security."
