Catherine's fingers trembled as the bracelet loosened against her skin, no longer fused to her and no longer an unbreakable chain.
It had… opened.
The bracelet that never yielded to force or pain had opened for…
For Dorian?
Her lips parted. Her pulse thundered as the woman's words echoed through her mind.
Find the truth.
If the bracelet opened for Dorian… what did that mean? Was she meant to understand Maximilian only to be led back to Dorian? Was he the one who had saved her in their past life?
What was the truth?
Her gaze flicked to the door.
To Maximilian.
Her instinct was immediate… to tell him, to show him and share this impossible thing. To discuss with him what it meant.
She almost stood.
But first… she had to take it off. Her hand rose toward the loosened clasp. She wanted to rid of it first thing.
But before she could touch it… Dorian caught her chin, turning her face back to him.
