Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 157

Isadora finally realized there hadn't been a single mention online about last night —it was as if someone had deliberately buried the news.

Not that she was afraid of the world finding out about her and Victor. Given her complicated situation, though, she just didn't want to stir up unnecessary trouble.
