He took a deep breath and touched my face.
Embarrassed, I turned my head away and murmured, âStop talking so much.

His smiled gently, looking at me so tenderly I felt like a precious gem.

I will give you the first chance to draw.

I knew this was definitely a trap, but I was so afraid that Marley would do something to my child that I didnât stop to think.
For me, Elena was more important than anything else.

âElena!â I pushed Caleb away and rushed to my daughter without hesitation.
Marley pretended to be surprised.
âSo you are the mother of this child,
Debra?â
