When he intended to take her away, Trenton Smith's woman blocked his path.
He found it somewhat laughable that this reckless woman dared to stand in his way.
She had the audacity to hide her from him for five whole years!
In that instant, the uncontrollable surge of anger led him to risk offending Trenton Smith and shoot her.
Aldana Candi cried her heart out, but only he knew the bullet merely grazed Norris Moore's shoulder. Trenton Smith would soon arrive, and Norris would only suffer a minor wound.
But he wouldn't tell her that.
This was his punishment for her daring to escape on her own for five years.
Sitting in the car, she lowered her head, covering her face as she sobbed, as if engulfed in overwhelming guilt and despair.
He turned his head to look at her face, the air filled with her faint fragrance. He couldn't help but lean closer to her, like a traveler who had wandered the desert for a long time finally finding an oasis and coming back to life.
