Jenna:
I had no idea where this man had come from or how he had appeared.
But I knew one thing.
I had completely lost myself.
I still hadn’t fully come back to my senses.
The reality of what had happened hadn’t even sunk in yet.
I slowly lifted my head toward the sky and stared at it for a few seconds.
"I’m sitting before you in search of justice," I whimpered, my body shaking terribly. "I’m not a bad woman. Please, I didn’t betray anyone. I didn’t cheat anyone. The only crime I committed was loving someone whose rank is far higher than mine."
I sniffled, hiccuping as I touched my cheeks.
I had no clue what had happened, how it had happened, or how I was going to forget it.
"But you have to help me. You always say you will. You help every woman who has been wronged. So please, I want this man to be punished."
As I said those words, I noticed my tears falling into the river, where they almost seemed to sparkle.
"Please, punish the one who wronged me," I finished, sniffling as I quickly washed my face in the water.
I quickly climbed out of the water and pulled my coat over my soaked clothes.
Then I headed toward the road.
Sadly, the car Theodore had left for me was already gone.
I couldn’t understand how that was even possible.
Sadly, I had to walk home, carrying nothing but shame.
As I hurried along, I kept calling Theodore.
He wasn’t answering any of my calls.
I couldn’t understand why he had sent the car away.
After that, I did the only thing I could think of.
I called Gigi.
"Gigi—" I whispered, whimpering.
Morning was almost here.
If I wasn’t home by sunrise, everyone would be awake.
Ragnar, and the others would probably be out for their morning walk or jog.
Someone was bound to see me.
The warriors would be awake too, already on alert.
My heart was pounding.
I was terrified.
I had to get home as quickly as possible.
"Jenna, what’s going on? Why are you calling me at this hour?" Gigi asked.
She sounded so relaxed, so comfortable in her bed.
I couldn’t help wondering why my life had turned out like this.
Why couldn’t I sleep peacefully the way Gigi could?
I wished I were like her.
Ragnar loved her so much that he never asked her to sneak out to meet him.
He never made her hide their relationship.
He openly accepted her in front of everyone.
I wished Theodore had done the same for me.
If he had, I wouldn’t have been standing on an unfamiliar road in soaking wet clothes.
Whenever a car drove past, the men inside stared at me in a way that made my skin crawl.
"Gigi, I’m stranded on a road," I whispered, letting out a quiet sob. "Please—please, can you get me a car?" I pleaded.
My mind wasn’t working at all.
It should have occurred to me to order a cab myself.
Gigi was the one who made me realize that.
"Okay, where are you? Share your location with me. I’ll send you a cab," she replied.
I sniffled, wishing I could see her soon so I could tell her everything that had happened.
