Chapter 71

RITA'S POV

"I understand how you feel," I said to Annabelle. "Everything is gonna be fine. Rum has cost us a lot and we will bring an end to this fight sooner or later."

"I know you will. How is Charles taking this though?"

"He is extremely hurt that he can't even hold her hand but he is trying to get used to the fact that he has to stay away for a while. He was in Tennessee to find you guys.''

"For real?"

"Yeah he insisted on going alone and Rum eventually found out and somehow got him deported back here."

"There's a reason why I stopped you guys from coming. He has eyes everywhere and will get to you in the blink of an eye, you guys will be in a foreign country and you have absolutely no idea what's going on there."

"You're right. He made him listen to Belle crying for help with just one word 'please."
