Chapter 0362

I can feel the impact that Liam and Rik’s news has on Grace. It’s one thing to assume and another to find out you were correct. I pull her face to me, leaning into her. “Are you okay, baby?”

She just nods, a single tear sliding down her cheek. My sweet mate has had so much thrown at her in such a short period of time. Sometimes I forget that she’s still so young. She’s a strong and fierce woman, but there are moments, like right now, that she’s fragile.

“I hate him. I know I shouldn’t, but I hate him for what he did to my mother.”
