Chapter 11 - Sebastian's Grandfather Offered Me Everything I Had Ever Wanted—If I Betrayed Sebastian One Last TimeThe old man contacted me directly.
He requested a meeting.

He sat in an old restaurant overlooking the river.
“You could have been queen.”
I laughed.
“I never wanted your empire.”
“You could have had everything.”

Properties.
Everything.

He had followed me.
His grandfather looked at him.

Sebastian pointed a gun.
But this time, he didn't fire.
“I'm done.”
He walked over.
