Everything was the same.
Isla still wanted to kill Sebastian to make him pay for what he did to Ava and other innocent people. For Ava, Isla still wanted to have her revenge. Sebastian was still evil, and he would still kill and destroy. He would even use his children to fight the gods.
And the plan hadn't changed, too.
She couldn't give birth to the children he wanted, and she wasn't Ava Cassia. And even if she couldn't kill him, she could still make him lay his heart bare in front of her.
But now... she knew she had to pay.
As her heart grew weaker at the sight of him, she knew exactly what this unwanted feeling was. The first years of her life might not be full of love, but since Reon entered it... since Ava embraced and cultivated it... she could recognize it at a glance.
