Chapter 75 I Want You To Love Me, Hardin

• Freda's POV
• As soon as I heard Hardin say those words, "You're free to go," a wave of conflicting emotions crashed over me. Sadness and disappointment mingled with a sense of relief, creating a whirlwind of feelings that I struggled to comprehend.
• On the surface, I knew I should have been celebrating my newfound freedom from the toxic relationship that had consumed my life. But deep down, there was a part of me that couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. It was as if a piece of me still clung to the hope that things could have been different, that love could have triumphed over the chaos.
