Chapter 153
Sean stood with his back to her, his tall figure sharp and rigid, a silhouette of cold indifference
As Judy sobbed, pouring out the horror of her suffering, his expression remained completely unchanged,
“I told myself every day that I had to keep going.” body choked out between sobs. “I had to stay alive, to escape that nightmare. Because if I died, I’d never see you
sean, please… please stay with me. I’m losing my mind. Every time I close my eyes, I see them violating me again. The pain in my heart is a thousand times worse
than any bruise.”
Her voice broke, gasping for air between cries. “Just talk to me, please? Even if you just yell at me. Don’t go, don’t leave me. I just… I just wanted to see you You’re the only light in my life!TM
Being someone’s only hope, the single light in their world, would have moved almost any man.
But Sean felt nothing
Not even a ripple of sympathy.
He didn’t even care enough to spare her a glance.
|Without another moment’s pause, he tumed and walked away.
Jody watched his cold, unwielding back disappear. Whatever faint hope she had in her eyes was gone, sauffed out completely.
Outside the basement, Sean tumed to his bodyguard. “Get her to talk. Make her give us something useful.”
Sympathy? Compassion?
Maybe Sean had some.
But he would never waste it on someone who tried to burt Charlotte.
A little over a month ago, Judy had nearly kailed her.
Anyone who dared harm Charlotte had to pay the price.
Leaving the base, Sean glanced at his watch. It was ten o’clock
His Lottle would be waking up soon, probably feeling hungry.
After being thoroughly wom out by Sean last night, Charlotte slept soundly. By the time she woke up, it was already noon.
The curtains were half–drawn, and sunlight streamed through the glass, casting a soft golden glow over the pale blue comforter at the foot of the bed.
Toy specks of dust floated gently in the light, malding the air seem almost magical,
As soon as she opened her eyes, the warm, delicious aroma of freshly cooked food drifted into the room.
Dressed in her cute beat–print pajamas, her hair tousled, Charlotte climbed out of bed, eyes half–closed, and followed the smell.
In the dining room, the table was already set with three plates of food and two slices of buttered toast
The sotilaan of the kitchen cange hood droned in the background.
Charlotte rabbed her sleepy eyes and peeked into the kitchen
