Chapter 17

As much as he hated to admit it, Jonas was intimidated by Liam!

However, as terrified as he was, he knew better than to show it to his enemy, so he stood his ground. “Very well then. I’ll let her go!” he yelled. With that, his lackeys immediately cleared out a path to allow Celena to pass, but she refused to leave without Liam. Instead, she clung to his arm and sobbed, “No, I won’t go! I won’t go without you, Liam! Either we leave together, or not at all!”

Celena knew that Liam was trying to protect her, and his courage at this moment caused all her vengeance toward him that accumulated over the years to disappear!

“Listen to me, Celena. Jovie’s still under treatment and needs you. Please go check on Jovie now. My men are waiting for you downstairs, and they’ll bring you to Jovie! Please. With you here, I’ll become distracted and won’t be able to do well. Trust me; I can handle this on my own!” Liam tried to reassure her as best as he could. “Don’t worry, Celena. I can handle this in my sleep. I promise I’ll come to you once I settle things here!”

With that, he gave her a little push and added, “Go! Remember to go find Jovie!”

Celena, knowing that her presence would only be a burden to Liam, had no choice but to scamper away. She sobbed uncontrollably as she sprinted out of the room and down the stairs, not even daring to
