Chapter 279

MARCUS

I trembled with fury as I watched my wife in such a state. The sight of her, broken and trembling, filled me with at rage that burned so intensely, I could barely contain it. The urge to scream, to shout, to lash out at everything and everyone was overwhelming. I wanted to destroy everything, everything that had ever allowed this to happen to her.

They were raw, filled with pain and terror, and they shattered my heart with each one. I couldn’t do anything but watch in helpless despair.
