Chapter 5 You Might Forgive and Forget–But I Won’t

“Let me go! What you’re doing is illegal!”

Natalie thrashed against the guards, her wrists straining in their grip.

She raised her eyes to Jensen, her teeth clenched so tightly they audibly ground together.

Even after she’d resolved to let go…

She still wanted to protect the five years they’d shared.

But what a fool she was.

Jensen saw her cry, and something twisted deep in his chest.
