Chapter 101Connor POV'Carl is alive' Those words kept replaying in my head as I drove restlessly down the road. I had to confirm this myself because no way I was going to believe it without doing confirmation."Can you calm down, please? You are going to get the two of us killed," Chase uttered as he held on tightly to the seatbelt, but the only thing on my mind was to get to that house and confirm this.Thirty minutes later, I finally pulled over in front of the gate and stepped out of the car. I banged the bar gate impatiently while waiting for whoever was around to come and get the door, and after a few minutes, I saw a guy of about the same age as Claire, stepped out of the house."Who are you?" He asked as he strode down toward the gate where we were waiting."How may I help you?" He asked as he finally got to the gate."Where is Janice?" I asked him restlessly, and he gave me a long confusing stare."Why do you want to see my sister?" He asked me, and my jaw dropped to the gro

Chapter 102Connor's jaw dropped to the ground as he stared back at Carl. For a moment, this felt like a dream to him. This couldn't be true, right?

I understand how miserable Connor must've felt, the trauma he must've been through when he found them like that, and to think that he never felt remorseful about his actions. I didn't know what could be more cruel and disgusting."Why did you do that? Why your brother's wife of all women out there?" I asked him, trying to be calm. I was so disgusted with him that I couldn't even stand the sight of him. "I told you I want to be alone, Janice," He looked at me as he puffed smoke from his nose and mouth, his eyes were red and filled with anger. I was sup
