I had been trampled mercilessly, but thankfully, Liam had brought a team of the best healers to treat me.
In no time, my wounds were cleaned and tended to, but I still walked with a limp.
Hearing Liam's words, I didn't hesitate for a single second. I declared adamantly, "I can never forgive him. Not in this lifetime. Not even in death!"
Each word was an arrow, piercing straight through what was left of Richard's heart.
But he was shameless, crawling towards me like a dog.
"Irene, my mate, I know I was wrong. I only just found out the truth myself. I'm just as heartbroken about Nina's death as you are, but there's still a chance to fix things. Our lives have to go on."
"We can't just drown in grief. If you miss Nina that much, we can have another pup. A healthy one, this time. It will be like she never left..."
Before Richard could finish his shameless fantasy, I cut him off.
"Richard Blackwood, after everything you've done, do you really think there's a future for us?"
