María José… she said it.
The one thing she should never have said.
"I will never believe your words," she whispered, her voice stronger than before. "Axel has proven to me time and time again that he cares. He would never do anything to hurt me."
My entire world fell apart after hearing those words. For a moment, all I could hear was the rush of blood in my ears.
Never?
Never?
My lips twitched. My fingers curled.
Oh, mi flor.
You shouldn't have said that.
I lost it. My emotions went into overdrive.
I let out a low chuckle, and then, without warning, I grabbed her by the waist and spun her around, slamming her back against the wooden wall with a force that rattled the entire room.
She gasped, her eyes flying wide. I watched her hands reaching up to push me away. She still hadn't learned who the master was, had she?
She was the fragile flower… I was her one and only Messiah.
I caught her hands effortlessly and pinned them above her head with one hand.
