Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 501

Rowena was quickly sent off to Africa, forced into sex work as a foreign aid "bride."

Word had it that once she arrived, she simply couldn't bear the humiliation. Her dignity was shattered, her spirit trampled into the dirt, day after day forced to endure several men. She tried desperately to escape, but every attempt ended with her being dragged back.

The last time they caught her, she didn't survive. They beat her to death.

Keeley-Rowena's mother-collapsed from the shock when she learned what had happened to her daughter.

All this, Nanette and Isadora only found out much later.

When Isadora heard the news, she barely reacted.
