“Jensen, you’re hurting me.”

“I asked you – where is Natalie?”

There wasn’t a shred of tenderness left in Jensen’s voice. He stared at Sharon like she was a stranger.

Just then, one of his men ran in, visibly tense.

“Mr. Luke, the fire’s been put out. But… Ms. Natalie didn’t make it. The body’s at the ruins. The fire department wants to know if we’ll be claiming the remains.”

“What did you say?”

A buzzing noise filled Jensen’s head. He heard every word, but somehow, none of them made sense.

Natalie didn’t make it?

“You’re lying! There’s no way she’s dead! She promised to marry me! I haven’t even proposed yet, haven’t given her the grand wedding I swore I would. I said I’d take her to see the whole world. None of that’s happened! How can she be dead?!”

He shook his head over and over, but his bloodshot eyes brimmed with hot tears, swelling with grief.

His chest hurt. Badly.


Why did it hurt so much?

It felt like someone had torn his heart straight out of his body.

Jensen stumbled to his feet, only for Sharon to throw herself in front of him.

“Jensen, what are you doing? You’ve got burns all over! You need to stay in the hospital and recover properly!”

“Get out of my way.”

His voice was cold hollow.

Sharon couldn’t stand seeing him like this.
