Chapter 64 Fire And Fury

• (POV: Isabela)
• Silence came when Mateo left. The broken bridal suite was quiet, filled with smoke and the sharp smell of iron. Fear hung in every breath. I stood frozen, my fingers stiff around the weapon he hadn’t reclaimed. His silent disappointment hurt more than any cut. Near the wall, Camila made a soft sound—weak and far away, nearly lost under the ringing in my head.
• This was supposed to be my wedding day. This day should have been about vows and laughter.
