Ever since Camilla returned, I had been losing.
Again and again, she stayed one step ahead. She took what she wanted, twisted situations to her favor, and left me empty-handed every single time.
But not this time.
This time, I won.
She was being pushed into the Hudsons' territory, bound by obligation instead of choice. Even if it didn't break her body, I knew it would crush her pride. And for someone like Camilla, that hurt far worse than pain.
Let's see how strong she is without the Morrigans standing behind her.
She stared at me like she wanted to tear me apart. "Riley, don't get too comfortable. No one stays on top forever."
I smiled, calm and slow. "That's a good line. I'll keep it and return it to you one day. You've taken a lot from people, Camilla. Eventually, you'll have to give it all back." I tilted my head. "Don't worry. I'll be at your bond ceremony with Yenik. I'll clap the loudest."
The color drained from her face.
I turned and walked away.
