This was the question Jensen should have asked the moment Sharon first woke up. But he hadn’t been there then. Now that Natalie’s ashes had been stolen and her grave smashed, he couldn’t shake the suspicion that Sharon was the biggest suspect.
And he didn’t even know if he was losing his mind, because some part of him kept whispering the thought that Natalie might still be alive.
That thought made his entire body tremble.
Sharon had wanted to say that the man who broke her hand was the same one who had stood up for Natalie at the productunch. But just the memory of Baron’s chilling face made her shiver uncontrobly.
“I…I didn’t see clearly. He had his face covered, and I think I was knocked out. When I woke up again my hand was already broken. After that, the man went crazy, smashing at me again and again. I cked outpletely. I really didn’t see who it was.”
As Sharon said this, her body trembled on its own, her face pale as death.
Her fear wasn’t an act. It was seeping out from her very bones.
Even Mrs. Summers, seeing Sharon like this, couldn’t hold back her tears.
When had her daughter ever suffered something so cruel?
“Mr. Luke, Sharon has endured so much pain. You must stand up for her.”
But Jensen was unmoved.
He stepped forward and seized Sharon’s chin, forcing her to raise her head and meet his ice-cold gaze.
“Sharon. Tell me. Was it a man or a woman who broke your hand?”
The look in his eyes was cold enough to freeze a soul.
Sharon’s jaw ached under his grip.
She struggled but couldn’t break free, tears spilling down her cheeks.
“Jensen, you’re hurting me.”
“Speak!”
Before, Jensen might have softened at her tears. But now, nothing was more important than any trace of Natalie.
He was desperate to know if the suspicion gnawing at him was true,

“It was a man! Tall and thin. I don’t know what I did to provoke him. Maybe he was one of Natalie’s admirers. Or maybe one of her lovers, who knows? Why else would he break my right hand?”
She had wanted to say this all along.
When Natalie had been alive, Jensen hadn’t cared for her like this. But now that she was dead, everything was
different.
She was the one who was Mrs. Lukewfully recognized, legitimate!
Why was Jensen questioning her like this over another woman?
Shouldn’t he be worried about her broken hand instead?
Jensen hadn’t expected to hear such wordse out of Sharon’s mouth. His face darkened instantly.
“You’re spouting filth! Natalie was always pure and self-respecting. You think she’s like you?”
His grip tightened.
Sharon thought her jaw would snap under the pressure, but even so, her reddened eyes red back as she hissed, “I’m telling the truth! Natalie wasn’t as innocent as you think. Why do you think five years ago she managed to persuade you to bring her home after just one nce? She was a tramp! You have no idea how skilled she was at seduction. She might have been sneaking around behind your back with another man all along!”
“Shut your mouth!”
Jensen’s eyes red red, the pressure of his hand threatening to crush her jaw.
He couldn’t stand to hear another word from her.
Sharon’s body shook with pain, but seeing his rage only drove her to hurl more filth at Natalie.
“What are you so afraid of? Jensen, think about it. Five years ago, when you needed surgery after the car ident, when everyone begged Witch Doctor and he refused-why did he say yes to Natalie? And when she came back, her face was pale, her body weak. Didn’t you ever wonder if she sold herself to him to buy your cure?”
“I told you to shut up!”
With a roar, Jensen flung Sharon down onto the bed.
“Sharon!”

“Jensen, admit it-you’ve suspected it yourself, haven’t you? You just never dared to confirm it! Otherwise, why did you never touch her in those five years together? Because you were afraid. Afraid she’d really slept with another man for you. You couldn’t face it. And now she’s dead, so what’s the point of putting on this act of deep devotion? You’re my husband. Mine!”
Her words were like knives, each one slicing deeper, peeling back Jensen’s flesh to expose the rawest wound in his heart.
