Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 157

Victoria, regardless of everything, attended every performance, encountered a sudden disaster herself, and in the end, she married the man she admired while carrying a baby.

While Victoria’s plight could stir sympathy for any woman, the most innocent of them all was Everett, who’d been rejecting her all along. But alas, the Dorsey clan wielded too much power.
