“I…” Hector stood transfixed for a moment before he blurted out an explanation, “I’m giving this necklace back because of my wife’s mistake. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

“Do you mean you’re not doing this for her?” Zachary pointed at Charlotte.

She knew Hector was saying those words to protect himself, but to look at how meek he had become sent indescribable feelings to her heart.

“Speak!” Zachary roared.
