Regret Novel 86

Seeing Hiram in such a state, Charlotte’s heart ached. She hurried to his side, reaching out to steady him from behind.

But before she could help, a security guard stepped between them, forcibly pulling the two apart. As Hiram was dragged away, Charlotte spun around in alarm, searching for Evander. “What are you doing? You promised me–if Tricia was unharmed, you wouldn’t go after him!”

When she’d told Evander that Hiram had taken Tricia, she’d also sworn that Hiram would never truly hurt her. He had promised her too.

Evander fixed his gaze on Charlotte’s pale, worried face, his expression unreadable. “Didn’t you see the cut on her forehead? You call that unharmed?”

Charlotte froze.

Only then did she notice the dried blood at Tricia’s hairline.

“I said I wouldn’t make things difficult for him. I never said I’d let him go.” Evander turned to Natalie. “Take him to the police station. Hiram’s facing kidnapping charges–let the law handle it.”

Natalie gave a curt nod.

The security guards led Hiram away.

Evander slipped an arm around Tricia’s shoulders and guided her out. As he passed Charlotte, he didn’t spare her a single glance.
