Chapter 129

• **Miranda's POV**
• It was laughable, really—Nolan’s audacity to offer his help as though he was exempt from the revenge I had planned for everyone who betrayed me. Did he truly believe he was any different? Did he think I needed him to right my wrongs or to seek justice for the pain I had endured? The thought alone made me want to laugh out loud. I had endured enough to know that I couldn’t rely on anyone but myself.
