CHAPTER 100 Promise
The weight of Jarred's words settled heavily in the air, leaving me grappling with a storm of emotions. My mind raced, trying to process the tangled mess of information that had been thrust upon me. Fear, regret, and a deep sense of unease washed over me like crashing waves. The realization that I had narrowly escaped a potentially deadly situation left me trembling with a mix of relief and terror.
I looked at Jarred, my voice trembling as I tried to find the right words.
"Jarred, I..." I trailed, unable to utter my next words. "I can't believe what you're telling me. It's... it's a lot to take in. How could Clayden's father harbor such hatred toward me? And knowing that he's planning to harm me... it's terrifying." I clear the lump in my throat and found Lynette watching me full of worry. "His hatred is still there… even if the past was already a long time ago…" I mumbled to myself.
