“Alright.” Jamie forced a smile and continued, “What about my relatives? What
will happen to them?”
Jarrod said nothing.
“It's fine, Jarrod. I won't hold it against you. At worst, I'll only catch some flak from
my uncles.”
Jarrod ran his fingers through her hair and assured her, “Don’t worry.
I'll have them released.”
“Really? That's so kind of you, Jarrod.” Jamie wrapped her arms around him and
added in a sweet voice, “I can’t wait to be your wife.”
Jarrod held her hand and caressed it.
“I promise you'll be the happiest woman in the world.”
Once Jamie was gone, Jarrod returned to Nicole's ward and found her awake.
He walked up to her expressionlessly and moved a stray strand of hair away
from her face.
“How are you feeling?”
Nicole looked at him. The sight of him reminded her of the humiliation she had
suffered at his hands, and her eyes clouded with disdain.
“Don't touch me. You're disgusting.”

The word “disgusting” ignited a fury in Jarrod, and his face twisted in an instant.
His hand shot out to clutch her throat. He tightened his grip until her face started
turning purple and her breathing grew ragged.
His eyes narrowed and brimmed with cruelty as if he were a demon straight from
the depths. He stared daggers at her and bellowed, “Say that again!”
“Jarrod Schultz!”
Nicole's voice rasped, sounding like rotten wood as she enunciated each
syllable.
The atmosphere grew increasingly stifling, making her feel as though her life was
slipping away.
A memory of her mother holding a birthday cake flashed before her eyes.
“Make a wish, Nicole!” Her mother gazed at her as if she were the most precious
gem.
Would her mother ever come to terms with her death?
The thought prompted large tears to spill from Nicole's swollen eyes.
What had she done to deserve this?
