Jerome appeared exhausted, as if he had traveled a great distance.
"Tania, is this sufficient blood for you? If not... I can still..." Jerome's parched lips were pale, and his grim smile suggested he might faint at any moment.

Nathan, who deeply respected me, understood my pain from this relationship. He had been awaiting my command. With a nod from him, security personnel rushed in and forcibly ejected Jerome and Jessica from the venue.
