Chapter 42

• Leah's POV
• Disbelief, pain, and suffering are what I have experienced the past few hours and the saddest thing is I can't seem to remember. Xavier has been shot and I feel terribly weak. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, John shows up right when we are so close to escaping. As he points the gun at Xavier, my mind thinks of so many scenarios, and none of them are positive.
• I don't know where the strength comes from but enough is enough, I will be damned if I will let anyone hurt me or my husband again. I am tired of playing the victim. laying like a little princess who always needs to be rescued and taken advantage of.
