BuzzNovel“Brendan, do you remember | mentioned to you the other day that Ileana seemed
distracted lately, like something was weighing on her mind?”
Brendan frowned, trying to recall. “I think you did say something like that...“.

“I understand you've lived with Ileana for seventeen years, and it's hard to let go. But that’s your problem, not
mine. So I'm laying it out now: if this happens again, don’t bother beggingfor mercy. | won't let Illeana off the
