Shadows In Durango

Chapter 113

*****Vincent's POV*****

I barely hang up the phone before I'm back pacing in the office again, hating the feeling of being out of control in any situation let alone one involving Sofia!

She didn't think she could approach me to tell me about this, because I foolishly gave her that impression, and that was what hurt me most.
