CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN
Jason had a thing about physical abuse but something about Naya's story made him cringe inside. He looked at her and she smiled weakly at him but part of him felt alienated. Jason couldn't see the Naya he knew as a scared young woman in an abusive relationship, she was always so strong and in control. But Jason knew from experience that people turn cold to protect themselves. He turned into an unfeeling being as a defense mechanism to protect himself against his father's brutality and his mother's manipulations.
He moved closer to her and squeezed her hand reassuringly; he understood perfectly the sinking feeling that came with helplessness and Jason would pay good money to hear it was the last encounter Naya had with Kane but something about the look in Naya's eyes told him otherwise and there was also the fact that she referred to him as her husband.
