Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right by PASSION

“A girl? What’s her background? Is this serious?” Miranda’s brow creased at the question.

Any girl but Selah piqued her interest.

Arturo said with a mischievous tone.

Miranda let out a relieved breath.

“You can have your fun with any woman you want, just not Selah.

I’m only tolerating her because I’m trying to be merciful.

But if I find out Selah’s tempting you, I swear I’ll make her vanish.

No one could save her.

Arturo felt a shiver run through him.

He stopped himself from saying more, got up, crouched down in front of Miranda, took her hand, and whispered, “Mom, don’t worry.
