Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 858

I stayed quiet after leaving the prison. Hayden didn't push me either; he could tell I wasn't in the mood.

When the car stopped, he pulled me into one of those warm, Hayden-style hugs, his hand stroking my hair. "If something's eating at you, just say it. Keeping it in will mess you up."

"How can someone's life be trashed so easily? Tanya... she deserves to die!" I mumbled into his shoulder, my voice shaking.

She'd destroyed so many lives. For what? Money? Power? She even killed her own husband to climb the social ladder. And then she used girls who trusted her, selling them out for more cash.

The girl Demi mentioned-the one who went to Tanya for help-was assaulted by someone Tanya set her up with. After that, she couldn't take it anymore and ended her own life. I couldn't even figure out how to tell Demi. "She'll get what's coming to her. Karma always hits back," Hayden murmured against my

ear.

But what difference does make? Lives don't come back.

Like my parents. Even though the people who caused their deaths paid for it, it didn't bring them back. They're still gone, buried forever.

Hayden didn't take me home after the prison. Instead, we ended up at a yacht.

I blinked at him. "What's this?"

"Fishing."
