Soairse I should feel relieved—Xavier finally knows the truth. My past. My secrets. Every broken piece of me. But the ghosts haven’t gone quiet. Gage is still out there, watching from the shadows, waiting to strike. And the man I’ve trusted with my heart? He’s hiding something. Again. I want to believe we can survive this. That love can still be enough. But some truths don’t set you free. They destroy you. Xavier I’ve built an empire. Crushed my rivals. Protected what’s mine. Including her. But none of that can erase the truth I’ve withheld from Saoirse—the lies I’m still keeping. I swore I’d never lose her again. Gage is circling, and the past is catching up faster than I can run. She thinks she knows everything now. But she doesn’t. And if I tell her the last secret I’ve been hiding… I might lose her all over again.
