Chapter 64

• Johana falls silent, her gaze fixed on the coffin.
• Maskyn lets out a long sigh and walks away.
• She closes her eyes and tears stream down her face. She swallows hard. Her grandmother wants her to be strong, but she feels overwhelmed by the pain that torments her. How can she love such a handsome and despicable man like Maksyn Villarreal? He is insatiable, never satisfied, always wanting more and more, on his terms. Perhaps Johana's obsession with him is madness. Perhaps she thinks she is a masochist for wanting the love of a man who only sees her as an object for his pleasure. She wonders if, after they are together, he will continue to acknowledge her or if he will ignore her completely.
