When She Rose From the Ashes

Chapter 26 Witch Doctor’s Hands

Sharon didn’t bother pretending anymore.

She’d promised Jensen she wouldn’t go public with their marriage just to keep it hidden from Natalie. But now that Natalie was dead, she could finally bask in the sunlight with no shame.

The bodyguards froze for a second. Seeing how dazed Jensen looked, they quickly snapped to attention.

“Mr. Luke, Ms. Natalie is gone. Please, let her rest in peace.”

“Get lost!”

Jensen’s bloodshot eyes were wild with grief. His face had gone pale, and a smear of blood dripped from the corner of his lips. He was like a bow drawn far past its limit ready to snap.
