After signing a contract with the Master, I could never have imagined that each wish I made would one day turn against me.
The one I used to fear so much that I would tremble suddenly becomes the most precious person and the best man in my life. And now, the only thing that’s truly terrifying is to lose him.
It’s pointless to blame fate when cruelty is part of who he is. He sends me thousands of kilometers away and doesn’t even try to hide it: for us, this is the end—and forever.
If not for the news of my pregnancy, I don’t know how I would have survived this pain. Of course, I’m not going to tell the future father about the child—this baby will be mine alone.
I hold on to my decision until I learn that Igor is in danger. I drop everything and fly to him, not yet understanding what I might be able to do to help.
