Hearing the details of what Xander had done to Olivia nearly shattered me. Every word Marcus spoke felt like a fresh wound cutting deeper into my chest. My breath caught in my throat, and I had to hold myself back from crumbling under the weight of it all. I couldn’t even let Marcus finish telling me everything, I couldn’t hear more.. The images of what he did, the torture, the manipulation, the terror, were too much. My heart was already breaking for her, and I knew that hearing more would break me completely.
