Liam’s confidence started to fade.
“This is strange. My wife is always on time… She’s never late. Could something have happened?”
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. Then, he couldn’t take it anymore and sprinted off in my
direction
His heart was pounding the whole way, like it was about to burst in his chest. The minutes dragged by, but everything ahead was eerily quiet. Nothing was moving at all
As he got closer to our meeting spot, Liam started blaming himself.
“It’s all my fault for listening to her I should never have let her come alone! I should have picked her up myself!”
He sped up, dialing my number again as he ran Then, a blood–curdling scream echoed from deep in an alley
Liam’s heart nearly stopped He ran toward the sound and didn’t even glance at the men on the ground when he saw me He ran straight to me and pulled me into his armns
“You scared me to death! I thought something had happened to you!”

I briefly explained what had happened. Liam’s anger got the better of him. Without any hesitation, he started pummeling the five thugs. By the time the police arrived, the men were almost unrecognizable.

Upon finding out what she was accused of, she finally snapped.
“It’s not my fault! It’s all Aelia’s fault! She stole everything that should have been mine. You should be arresting her, not me! Let me go!”
Then they handcuffed Raine and put her at the back of the squad car. If nothing else happened, she would spend the rest of her life in prison.

James pulled some strings and had her sent to the nearest psychiatric hospital.

“If she’s not mentally unwell, then what is she? She can’t even admit she did anything wrong… She has lost it,” Liam muttered as he lay on my lap, playing games. “If it weren’t for the law, she wouldn’t even have the chance
in a psychiatric hospital. She should just stay there forever!”
I stroked his fluffy hair and chuckled. “I’m not angry. If anything, you’re the one who’s upset.”
Liam sat up and stared at me seriously for a long time. “Let’s get married.”
“Huh?” I blinked.
“I said, let’s get married! And you’re not allowed to say no!”
