CHAPTER 35

  Someone snapped their fingers, and Freya's gaze shot from Dante's face to Oscar.

  His forehead had crumpled into a frown. "You look as if you're trying hard not to cry or have thought about murdering someone. I'm hoping for you that it's the latter because you will be doing us all a huge favor. The universe will appreciate your hard work," he whispered. "Are you okay?"

  She nodded, scraping up a smile. "Sorry. Not planning to murder anyone. I just zoned out for a second."

  Lies. She would very well murder the sonofabitch if she could. But, Who was she kidding? She knew very well that just having the thoughts was no secret to Dante because he could read everyone's thoughts, smell and feel any emotion. Was she really going to go ahead with staying there? It wasn't too late to turn back. Although that would be so unfair because Jake put in a lot of hard work to make her stay there possible.
