Cora knew she was dreaming.

She stood on the rooftop of a high-ri se, goosebumps ri si n g onhe r skin at the glorious view. B esi de her stood the man who gavehe r everything, his face shadowed.

“It’s beautiful. ” The city lig hts gli ttered like jewels in a blac kvelvet night. The whole wor ld laid at her feet.

“It’s mine,” Marcus told her . “Ever ything you see belon g s tome. ”
