The Wrong Woman

Mila approached cautiously, raising a hand to block any prying ears, her words a soft murmur in Nathan’s ear. “I made a deal with them. I promised to reveal the location of hydronium if they could save you.”

Nathan’s expression darkened. “You’ve told them?”

Mila nodded, her brows furrowing in confusion. “What’s wrong?”
