Chapter 24

He brought this upon himself, taking lives after lives, blindly walking on shard after bloody shard, piercing bullet after bullet to people he can’t even see clearly anymore. If he ends up dead the next day, that’s on him!”
• Simon stood quietly with his head tilted low and his hands tightly clenched. If there was one thing he wanted to do in this life, that was to protect Giovanni. He owed this man a lot.
