In the evening, Aria packed all her personal belongings into two large suitcases and stored them in the walk–in closet.

Her gaze fell on the photo frame of their secret mating ceremony, in which she was wearing a white dress, holding Kane’s hand, smiling beautifully, in stark contrast to his cold, serious face.
