Chapter 142

Isadora had never seen Magnus so humbled before.

Magnus had always been proud-aloof, even. With his wealth and status, he'd grown accustomed to being at the center of everything, the world revolving effortlessly around him.

In the five years they'd been together, Isadora had never seen him like this.

For a moment, she forgot how to respond.

It wasn't until Nanette, lying uncomfortably on the couch, let out a soft groan that Isadora snapped out of her daze.

She took a breath and found her voice. "Magnus, there's nothing left between us. There was a time when I longed to hear you say these things, but it's been five years—any warmth I felt has long since turned cold. Let's just let each other go."

Magnus's eyes turned icy. "Is this about Victor?"

Isadora stayed silent.

Even if there were no Victor, she and Magnus were done. It wasn't about him, not really. But her silence, in Magnus's eyes, was all the confirmation he needed.
