The Day Our Promise Breaks

Chapter 220 The morning came too soon.

Even after taking her meds, Evelyn barely caught a wink of sleep. She woke up with a pounding headache in the grand master bedroom of Oakwood Manor, memories of last night rushing back to her in a dizzying whirl. The image of Dahlia maliciously dousing Charlie's tombstone in cursed animal blood flashed vividly in her mind, leaving her seething. Dahlia was determined to trap Charlie's soul forever. The thought of it made Evelyn boil with anger. She wanted nothing more than to put an end to Dahlia, that

It won't happen again. I've got bodyguards set up to keep you safe; she won't get a chance to harm you or Sandy." Evelyn couldn't focus on anything else he said. One thought consumed her: bodyguards around Dahlia made her untouchable. A wave of helplessness washed over her. The weight on her chest felt like it was crushing her, making it hard to breathe. Tears welled up and silently trickled down her cheeks. She felt utterly powerless. Dahlia was beyond her reach.
