"So I turned him down, quite seriously."

At that moment, Isadora knew with absolute certainty-there wasn't a trace of Magnus left in her heart.

Victor's eyes darkened with something unreadable as he picked up a stack of documents from the table and handed them to her. "Take a look."

She'd noticed the folder when he arrived, but hadn't thought much of it-until now. As she opened it, her eyes widened in astonishment.
