Chapter 48 Fight Somewhere Else

• Zayla looked up, her tears spilling from her beautiful eyes. What should have been a bright, clear gaze was now dull and clouded. Joaquin seemed to see through her eyes into her defeated spirit.

If you don't want him to end up like your father, you'd better forget any ideas you have. You know what I'm capable of."
