Chapter 83

Chapter 4

In my previous life, Jessica's lies nearly drove me to the brink.

I was completely unaware of what was unfolding until Richard stormed in, furious. That was when I realized I was being blamed for something unimaginable.

I tried to explain, but Richard didn't give me a chance-he sent me straight to a harsh foreign environment.

This time, it's different. I have an alibi.
