“I might’ve failed my badge, but I stayed true to my heart. Even if Sylvie didn’t choose me, I’d still do anything to keep her happy.”
The pregnancy report in my hand suddenly felt scorching hot.
‘So the murderer has been right beside me this whole time!’
‘And the man I love with all my heart—my husband—has been covering for her? For five years?!’
That marriage? Not worth it!
