Secrets Of The Neglected Wife: When Her True Colors Shine

Chapter 259: Kellan couldnt wrap his mind around the idea of Allison dying here, not like this.

Perhaps it was the weight of his words, spoken in the face of such imminent danger, that hung in the air like a storm cloud.

For a fleeting moment, Allison found herself stunned, her gaze tethered to the depths of his intense, piercing eyes.

She had always been the shield, the one defending others.

Never before had a man urged her to protect herself.

Clarke, I already owe you my life, he said, his voice dropping, eyes averted.

Someone will come for you soon.
