Chapter 71

• “Don’t blame Yasmin for what happened to Lorence, Veronica,” I said firmly. “She didn’t even love him. It was Karious she truly loved—and they even had a child together, didn’t they? You helped her, didn’t you?”
• Veronica scoffed bitterly, her tone cutting.
• “Helped her? Yeah, right. I only helped her to get to Zack. I was heartbroken. The man I loved died. I couldn’t just stand by while my heart was slowly dying and hers was learning how to live again. We came from the same darkness. If I ended up miserable, then she should suffer just the same,” she said coldly and turned her back on me.
