Chapter 257

Mason’s POV

But the other part…the part that loved my sister more than anything…was louder.

I could do any fucking thing to make Mia live or be happy and here’s the right time, I needed to trade Layla for Mia even if it turned out for me to die.

“If you don’t do it, she’s gone,” I reminded myself. “You can’t save her any other way.”

I uncapped the vial, holding it over the plates. The clear liquid glinted in the morning sunlight. One drop, two drops... that’s all it would take.

My heart was beat in my chest as I hesitated again, the weight of what I was about to do threatening to crush me.

But then, I thought of her again…my sister, crying, begging me to help her. I couldn’t let her down.

I gritted my teeth and steeled my resolve. I wasn’t doing this because I wanted to. I was doing it because I had no choice.
