Chapter 129 End Of The Phoenix

• Chase approached me, his hand in the air. "Brianne, I'm so sorry. I had no intention that any of this would happen. I had the impression I was taking the right approach, retaliating for my parents, but I was so misguided. Can you ever forgive me?"
• I saw his hand, remembering each time he stood by me and all the support he extended. I remembered the pain Lucy experienced, the sense of betrayal that came when she saw how far Chase had gone with his deception.
• "I’m not sure, Chase," I said sincerely. What you did is something I can’t simply forget. You hurt a lot of people. You hurt me."
