"Hmm, I remember," Evelyn interrupted softly.
Evelyn clearly knows. Axel had always been careful. He never chose women who wanted marriage or a child. He made sure everything remained clear and controlled. He even made sure they took precautions before leaving his room.

Joseph's betrayal hurt deeply.
Harper's scheme disgusted her.
Yet somehow, fate had twisted their wicked plan and pushed her into Axel's room and warm embrace instead.
Her brows suddenly furrowed again.
