Chapter 25 - True Face

Letisha’s POV

I felt Adrian’s frame tighten under my hold, but he didn’t stop his comforting strokes. His voice was soft and controlled, yet a dark undertone was hard to miss when he asked, “Who left you?”

I pressed my face even further into his solid stomach, so much so that I wasn’t quite sure he heard me when I answered his question. “Caroline.”

“Tell me what happened, Little One,” Adrian beseeched. It took a minute for me to stem the tears that flowed freely down my face, and another minute still to gather my wits enough to give voice to the memories that stormed into my head.
