Chapter 40

• LEILANI
• I couldn't pick myself up from where Cardan had tossed me even after he left. Fear had completely drained me. Just thinking about how he'd held me over the edge. He could've ended my life and I wouldn't have been able to do anything. I was so weak, so pathetic... I can't even do anything for myself or those around me. My heart clenched in pain and self loathe filled me instantly. I was useless.
• How can I even get revenge on the man who took away everything from me if I can't even protect myself.
