Chapter 29: The Reveal

Michael’s POV

The anger was rising within me. How dare he look at her! After everything that he did, he dared to look in her direction. The nerve of him. My fists clenched in anger. I wanted to turn back and destroy him. Each step forward was a constant reminder of who was behind us. The warmth from Havana's hand covered my fist.

"Please, don't be angry."

Havana’s voice was soft and shaky. Was she still scared of him? Was my presence not enough to make her feel protected? I couldn’t look at her, my eyes remained locked on our hands. I loosened my fist, letting my hand wrap itself within hers.

"Kaden isn't worth it. He's in the past."
