Though she was held captive, she couldn’t stop tears from streaming down her cheeks at the sight of Devin.

Devin scowled. “Why are you here?”

“S-Shanae left me with these men. Devin, I wasn’t the one behind Coldbridge’s incident. Shanae forced me to do that. She threatened to give my parents a hard time in the Wood family. Aunt Jasmine is dead, so I had no choice…” she trailed off and wailed sadly.
