Mitchel, You Don't Deserve It Mitchel's towering frame suddenly faltered.
The notion that Raegan, ever so docile like a delicate white rabbit, could utter words that crushed his soul was beyond his
imagination.
The light in Mitchel's eyes dimmed as he asked, his voice laden with sorrow, "Do you hate me that much?" Raegan's face was a
mask of apathy.
"During my abduction, I hated you deeply.
All I could think was that if you hadn't left me in that hospital parking lot, perhaps I wouldn't have been kidnapped.
But there's no use in ‘ifs.’ I realize that given another chance, you'd still prioritize saving Lauren..." "That's not true," Mitchel

"Don't fool yourself.
You can't let go of her." Mitchel's voice, raw and strained, tried to explain, "Raegan, you've got it all wrong.

"Mitchel!" Raegan cut him off sharply, pain etched in her voice.
"You made promises to me, too! You had me believe we'd return home together.

she relived the terror.

A sudden panic gripped Mitchel, his heart lurching.
She wouldn't even harbor hatred toward him? Was she really intent on treating him like a stranger? No! It shouldn't be this way.
She had feelings for him.
Nicole had confirmed it.
Desperate, he grasped her arms, pleading, "Raegan, you care for me.
Nicole said you once did.
Please, don't abandon our relationship so easily.” Raegan gazed at his haggard but still charming face, managing a weak smile.
"Once, I foolishly cared for you, only to realize my mistake.
