The reader finds it satirical that Dr. Rowan's relationship with her mother was absent for decades. When Dr. Rowan returns home to learn more about her late mother, she is shocked to discover the dark history that she belonged to Mayfair witches.
Dr. Rowan’s decision to Michael
The encounter between Dr. Rowan and Michael was romantic and captivating. After saving Michael from drowning using her physic powers, Dr. Rowan falls in love with him. However, with the help of Aaron, Dr, Rowan discovered that Michael is her cousin. Ironically, Michael and Dr. Rowan continue to marry each despite knowing they are biologically related. Consequently, they are interfering with the family's superiority and immunity, but they disregard that when they get married.
The paradox of expectations
When Dr. Rowan Mayfair fully controls her family, she expects everything to go according to her plans.
