I Wrote My Own Ending
"We don't do unfair deals, and we definitely don't trade our people for scraps."
The room fell silent, all eyes on me.
I tucked my long hair, which I had not bothered to cut, behind my ear and met Charles's gaze. "You know I don't do do-overs."
He gave a small laugh, tilting his head and revealing a long scar on his neck that made my heart skip a beat.
That scar... He got it when he was at death's door, I heard.
"I'm talking about a chance for you to have a change of heart, or just an hour alone with me," he said.
