Destiny's POV
As I listened to Red narrate everything that happened five years ago, my heart ached, and all the pain came rushing back to me. I couldn't believe Carmen would go that length to contact a hired killer to eradicate me from my father's will.
The hair on my skin stood up after Red told me about it, and I never felt so angry in my entire life.
When Red took me into his arms, all my resolve melted, and I felt too weak to fight him. It feels so good to be back in his loving arms as I let my tears fall down my cheek and wet his shirt. He let me sob while he caressed my back with his hands, telling me he would never leave me again.
He smelled so good that I didn't know how long I clung to him, sobbing.
"I couldn't believe her to be so greedy with wealth and power that she is willing to kill me to have what she wanted," I replied after I stayed away from Red's embrace.
