Chapter 262

Alexander’s bruised and battered face darkened with humiliation, the sting of her ridicule cutting deeper than the physical pain. Standing there, he felt utterly defeated, wondering how he had been naive enough to believe that Daniela might still harbor any feelings for him, even in his current state.

A fleeting wish crossed his mind—that the floor might split open and swallow him, sparing him from the weight of his disgrace.
