CHAPTER 13 The Devil's Reincarnation

  Sebastian

Her trembling, the fear in her voice, and the vulnerability she had shown revealed a painful truth about her past. Beautiful Mia hadn't experienced a happy childhood, and the realization struck me deeply.

  "Only the best of the best," I replied, emphasizing the quality of the furnishings.

  She raised an eyebrow at me. "Waw."
