Proposition #3 (Illicit Deals)

She was never going to escape now.

Cadence may have believed Leo would tire of her before, but now she was carrying his baby. He’d always said he’d never let her go.
He chipped away at her resolve until she had no choice but to admit she loved him. He hadn’t given her any other choice.
Until he left her.
It was for her own protection. To keep her safe. He’d kept his word but broke her heart.
And she wasn’t going to let it end like that.
