Chapter 26

• The rain had finally stopped, leaving the streets glistening with wetness under the moonlight. Madison had just been discharged from the hospital. She was meant to feel relief, but her heart was heavy. Liam's silence was killing her.
• She sat quietly in the plush leather seats of Liam's luxury car, her gaze drifting out of the window as they made their way through the city.
