A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 343

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 342

“I never figured out their motive behind the kidnapping ten years ago,” Finnick said with a frown. “They could have taken their leave after getting the money, but they chose to commit arson instead. What makes them think setting me on fire and letting the whole world know of the kidnapping would do them any good?”

He paused and looked at the ceiling. “I’ve been doing my own investigations over the years, and I can confirm that Mark was the mastermind behind all this. Those burglars were after my life rather than my money, and the ransom was just another one of Mark’s smoke screens. What he didn’t expect was to hear of my escape from the inferno.”

He clenched his fists in anger. Memories of his escape had plagued his mind for years, and he was determined to take revenge.

Vivian sighed as she racked her brains to think of a suitable response.

Even though it had been a decade since the fire, Finnick was still having trouble moving on from it. That in itself was an indication of just how severe the trauma was.

She pried open his fists and held on to his clammy hands in the hopes of helping him calm down.

Noticing her concern, Finnick took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. “Don’t worry, it’s all in the past. They won’t be able to hurt me now.”

Vivian grimaced. How could they?

How could you, Mark? You may not be on good terms with Finnick, but how dare you hurt him?
