When She Rose From the Ashes

Chapter 26

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.

They stepped forward, still trying to reason with Jensen.

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

“Get lost!”
