Chapter 44 Winner

• Chapter 44: The Fire Between Us
• Moonlight spilled across the courtyard in silver ribbons as Daisy slipped through the carved wooden doors. The night air was warm, scented with jasmine and lavender, and the soft rippling of the fountain echoed around the pillars. Behind her, the Devil brothers followed in hushed footsteps—three shadows converging on the light of her presence.
• She turned, and their eyes locked on her as if she were the only star left in the sky. Dante closed the distance first, his hand brushing the nape of her neck, fingers warm and steady. His lips found hers in a slow, deliberate kiss, full of longing and reverence. Daisy leaned into him, soft sighs slipping between them. The world outside—the plots, the rival queens, the war—faded into silence.
