Chương 267: PRICE OF LOYALTY

[Music Recommendation: The Wolf and The Moon ~ BrunuhVille]

The tires crunched on the gravel driveway of Augustine's mansion, a place Victor never once thought of as home, but now it even felt like a cage he shouldn't tread. However, he had to, for the sake of Maya, who was in this mess because of him.
