Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1321

3AM in the capital. There was barely anyone on the streets, but it glittered with neon lights anyway. This wasn’t his first time admiring the scenery in Ayashe, but it felt different for the first time tonight.

Don Smith had considered him to be the real Alejandro, deep down. Regardless of whether he was forced into it or not…
