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!”
