Liza couldn't believe what she was considering. Marrying a stranger—one who was clearly dangerous, possibly involved in something criminal. It was insane. But the more she thought about it, the more she realized how much she had to gain.Viktor wasn't just offering revenge. He was offering power, the chance to take control of her life in a way she'd never imagined."What's in it for you?" Liza asked, her voice steady despite the storm of emotions inside her.Viktor's gaze darkened, his expression unreadable. "I have my reasons," he said simply. "But let's just say that having a wife would make my life... easier."Liza hesitated, weighing her options. She could walk away, try to move on from the betrayal, and live her life quietly. Or she could embrace the darkness Viktor was offering, take control of her own destiny, and make Christoph and Kylie pay for what they'd done.After a long silence, she nodded. "Okay," she said, her voice firm. "I'll do it."Viktor's smile was slow and predatory, like a wolf who had just caught his prey. "Good. You won't regret it."But deep down, Liza knew that nothing about this decision was going to be simple. She had just made a deal with the devil, and there was no turning back.
