Chapter 79

-Ava’s POV-

The tension in the room was so thick it felt like it could suffocate everyone in it. Not a soul moved after Isabella’s fiery declaration. The silence was almost painful, broken only by the int hum of the air conditioning

I regretted coming here the moment Isabella dragged me out of the restaurant, insisting we put an end to this alliance. before it began. I agreed Rickon shouldn’t align with Dylan.

She glared at him but didn’t say anything else.
