Chapter 66

  Proposal

  SADIE

  Since I heard the news weeks ago that my father—the man I thought he was, pleaded guilty on all charges, it kept me awake at night. How wouldn’t I miss when his face was all over the news? And I felt like we had an unfinished business. And I needed that closure.

  I had never felt this twist in the pit of my stomach as I sat on the visiting lounge. Even if guards and a glass wall were separating us, I still felt unsafe.

  When he walked in, goosebumps erupted all over my skin.

  Our eyes met.

  He smiled.

  Hanslo Greer was still the man I once knew, although he looked different than the last time I saw him. I could feel the difference—I couldn’t find any intimidation, and he looked powerless and less arrogant in his prison uniform.

  I picked up the phone, but I didn’t say anything.

  “Sadie, what are you doing here? Does your husband know you’re here?” I wasn’t expecting him to care if Cenric knew about my visit.
