Chapter 329

Jace: “Stop saying nonsense.”

Tears streamed down Karina’s face, but they weren’t for Jace. They were for herself.

“It’s true,” Karina said, her voice hollow, her eyes vacant. “Every time I have a nightmare, I see myself lying dead, and no one comes to collect my body. No family, no friends… just discarded like garbage.”

Jace tried to comfort her. “That won’t happen.”

Karina closed her eyes, trapped in a sadness she couldn’t escape. Her life had always been different from others’. Other girls had parents. She didn’t.

Her world was filled with killing and survival. They said her parents sold her for $8,000. What kind of parents do that? Parents who don’t love their children.
