Chapter 46 Blame
1/6
Early in the morning, Charlotte hurried to the hospital after hearing the shocking news that her son had been attacked at
a bar the night before.
On her way, she caught up on all the details of the incident, her heart racing with a mix of concern and anger.
For the past few days, Charlotte had been in a standoff with
Dalton.

into a monster?” Charlotte’s tone dripped with disbelief and
frustration.
Dolton merely remained silent, opting to smoke instead.

She had been such a cool presence, but she was also distant as if a wall had gone up between them.
Cameron Portman, Chandler’s third brother’s wife, chose that
