Chapter 67

• Richard
• A bucket of cold water is nothing compared to Claudia's words and the attitude she has taken against me. I never believed she was capable of threatening me if I hurt the woman who wanted us both dead a few weeks ago. The fact that we now know they are sisters shouldn't change anything, but it seems I was wrong. Not only has the situation changed, but it now calls into question the supposed feelings that bind us. I want to be sure that I love her, I think I do, but I doubt that her love is as strong as she claims. I can't believe it when she puts that damn viper above me.
• I can't go on in front of her without feeling like my whole world is crumbling inside me. With her words and her looks, she buried a dagger covered with the purest poison in my chest. And the worst part is that I'm not willing to give her that chance that Hannah so desperately wants. I gave it to her once and almost lost my life trying to believe that it was worth helping her. I can't trust her again or believe in her words of remorse. I understand that her tormented past influenced her worldview a lot. However, she is now an adult woman capable of reflecting on and understanding the consequences of her actions.
