Time slows down.

I've been drugged for years. What if it's the reason why I hated Olivia so much all this time? Even now, after knowing the truth, there's still resentment in my heart.

The hand in which I have the knife reaches Maddox's thigh.

How do I cope with that? How do I fill my heart only with love, knowing she did nothing wrong?

The sharp blade sinks into his muscles.

Rueben shakes uncontrollably. He feels the same wrath as me.

I fucking feel...violated. Do men ever feel like that? Am I allowed to feel like that? I don't think I should feel like this since no harm was done to me, but what if it influenced all my decisions, which added to Olivia's suffering? Maddox grunts in pain. I fucking want him to beg on his knees for forgiveness. I don't care if his entire family was in the hands of Azael, what he did is unforgivable.

"You drugged us?" Ansel snarls.

I judged Olivia for being high when I was doing the same shit. No wonder I couldn't quit smoking, no matter how hard I tried.

I twist the blade, wanting to cause as much harm as possible.

Maddox even drugged Olivia. My demon demands vengeance. He wants Maddox's blood. "It didn't take long for them to kiss. I assume he already liked her, and it stung him that she didn't remember anything from the party. For what's worth, Rueben kept her safe." Maddox's gaze shifts to
