"Maximus, why are you doing this?!" Liana shouted.
Maximus tilted his head. "Why? Because it is meant to be. Do not fight fate. I have no choice."

"You betrayed, yes, we get it, we're sad, you win. So shut your damn mouth," she said, raising her head to lock her intensely focused eyes with his. "Are you going to start conducting or should I do so for you?"
One blink was all it took, and Selena closed the large distance between her and Maximus, dagger drawn back.
