Chapter 27 Now I Know

• POV: Adam.
• If it weren't for her hand holding mine tightly, I would go back to that damn office and smash those two sickos' faces. I can pretend to be calm, I can act like I just arrived at the right moment, but inside, my blood is boiling and I want to hit something. My jaw is tense and my teeth are grinding, but I can't relax not matter how hard I try.
• Feeling the palm of her hand against mine is the only thing keeping me afloat right now, the only contact that makes me reconsider my urge to take down the corrupt senator and that bastard Bertrans, it's what brings me back from that dark place I sometimes go to, but that I have to push away today to take care of her.
