Chapter 140 Pay Back

• Ruby’s POV
• I turned to Damien, and the moment his arms gathered me to himself, I broke down. A sob tore out of me before I could stop it. I pressed my face into his shoulder, gripping his jacket like it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.
• It wasn’t just about the will or the album or the house that now felt like a graveyard. It was everything from Gabriel’s threats to Ambrose’s schemes. The months of watching my back, waiting for the next attack. Dominic pushing me away, then pulling me back in. My father’s secrets unloosening like a rope that had been around my throat for eleven years. I was exhausted.
