Chapter 20 No More Fear

• Bianca froze in the doorway, her eyes widening as she took in the sight of Elena standing gracefully in a shimmering champagne gown. Her expression couldn’t hide her shock—Elena looked stunning. Alive. Radiant. More beautiful than Bianca had ever imagined… or feared.
• Elena was supposed to be dead. Or at the very least, broken and discarded by the thugs Bianca had paid thugs who never came back with news. But now, there she was, standing like the star of the show, and for a moment… Bianca felt threatened.
• With a courage born from pain, Elena stepped forward, closing the distance between them with slow, deliberate steps. A cold smile curled on her lips, elegant and sharp like a hidden blade.
