Chapter Thirty-Five: Don't Cry

We both heard the lift doors open. I knew it was her by the way Isaac quickly dropped his arms from me and moved away, not meeting my gaze. I stepped back and shifted so I didn't have to witness him take her in his arms. I shrugged out of my jacket and placed it on the ground.

"Darling," MaryJane cooed. "I'm so sorry. If only I was with you at the time it happened instead of out hunting."

"It's all right. It can't be helped," Isaac replied softly.

"Well, don't worry now. I'm here for you."

The door to Gregory's room opened. I turned to see Jeremiah filling the doorway. He looked around at everyone. Darik, Isaac, snot-head and her three guards, including Jensen.

But when Jeremiah saw me in the back, he grimly said, "He wants to see you."

My body went rigid. Why me? God, no, I can't. I won't be able to hold back if I see him, talk to him.
