Chapter 784

Above his head, the anguished cry of Lily tore through the silence.

Jareth’s trembling eyelids shot open, and his pupils which harbored an impending storm were constricted further.

Atop the diving platform of the swimming complex, Lily, with her hands tightly bound by coarse rope, and a gun pressed against her head by Jackson, perched precariously on the edge of the platform.

Below her toes was a terrifying drop, for the pool beneath was bone dry.

Jareth’s white shirt, stained with blood, was drenched in cold sweat. He took two steps forward, but Jackson aimed the gun squarely at him to force him back!

Jareth gazed deeply at her, unblinking, “No, you’ve never wronged–me, nor do you owe anyone an apology. Lily, it’s I who have brought this upon you. I am the one who should be sorry.”

Lily’s heart clenched painfully.
