Chapter 334

Cole went ahead to explain how they were on their way back home when Kasmine saw Claire across the road.

How the bullet hit Claire and Kasmine screamed.

How she almost got caught in the crossfire because he was too damn dumb and careless.

I could still feel the panic shaking off her in waves. She was so shaken that I could barely watch.
