While the pornai might not be relevant, other matters are.

I already know the answer, but I want to be one hundred percent sure. "Why did Olivia's family hate her?"

"The Deymars hated Olivia because she never fit their ideal of the perfect family. They abused her because they could. Despite everything she endured at the hands of her parents and brother, she was a gentle child. Jon and Khloe really took a liking to her, and she didn't grow up being deprived of love. They taught her values and principles and what unconditional love meant. I don't know if they knew the truth about who Olivia really was," Maddox replies.

It was more than that. Jon and Khloe are wonderful people. Since Olivia is actually their biological child, it makes sense why she is just as amazing as they are. I might hate the Dukes, but they are between the few exceptions. Before Azael's rise to power, the Dukes and the Lords might have had their differences, but things weren't as they are nowadays.

"I have a feeling the pornai is also important. We should try to find her. Maddox, what was her name?" Yan asks.

Maddox shrugs before saying, "I don't know."

"You know all this shit, and you are telling me you don't know the name of the woman who Azael chose to be the surrogate?" Maddox keeps his face neutral. "You'll spill the beans once Henry and Cole are here. Keep speaking. I want to know everything."

Azael didn't know that the heirloom Senator Deymar kept well hidden in his office was what he was so desperately looking for. The daggers were lost a long time ago, and no matter how hard he looked, there was no trace of them. The only one who could find them was Pandora's heir. Since Olivia and Camila were together the night they found the daggers and they reacted, Azael was certain more than ever that Camila was everything he wanted her to

she loved turned their backs on her. This went better than Azael expected. Olivia lost everything in a few days. Her friends, the men she loved, and the people who saw her as their daughter. When it was clear that she was pregnant, Azael allowed her to keep the baby, only to rip him from her the day he was born. She was made to watch how the baby slowly died. After that, Jason disposed of him. As for the plans regarding you three, he wanted to make you his best killers. Since Jason ruined that plan by getting you three out, he was punished severely. He is only alive because Deymar Senior intervened." The blood boils inside me because I want to go right now after Azael, the Deymar family, and everyone else who hurt Olivia. "Carlos broke
