Belinda's POV
I couldn't breathe the moment I saw her.
Lisa.
Alive.
Walking around the palace like nothing had happened.
I thought I was seeing a ghost at first. My chest tightened so badly I almost screamed. That girl was supposed to be gone. Erased. Wiped out from this world. I had paid for it. I had planned it. I had made sure of it. But there she was, standing there, breathing, even walking around.
And what hurt me more was not just that she was alive, no, it was worse than that.
The triplets were fighting over her.
Damon's eyes followed her like she was the only one that existed. It made me sick. It made me burn inside.
I clenched my hands so tightly behind my back that my nails cut into my skin. I could feel the sting but it was nothing compared to the fire in my chest. She should have been gone. My place should have been secure. My crown should have been unshakable. But now? Now she was back, and everyone was looking at her like she was some kind of miracle.
