Chapter 252

• Liam's POV
• Looking at Mia's face - the shock, the betrayal, the hurt in her eyes - I realized how badly I'd miscalculated everything. This wasn't how it was supposed to go. I'd only wanted to scare her a little, make her understand how serious the situation was, then reveal myself and explain everything properly.
• But seeing her tied to that chair, seeing the fear and anger radiating from her, I knew I'd made the biggest mistake of my life.
