VALOROUS (A Quantum Novel)(87)

I stand there breathing hard and filled with rage, most of it directed at the venomous bitch who is my ex-wife. I want to find her and kill her, except even that wouldn’t be what she deserves.

I’m also f*cking furious at myself for not getting rid of the equipment in the basement before I brought Natalie here, but that’s not exactly something I could ask Addie to take care of for me since she knows nothing about it. And there hasn’t been time, without Natalie here with me, to do it myself.

The rage slowly drains from my system, leaving only pain behind. I’ll give Natalie the time she says she needs, and then I’ll go after her. I’ll get her back or die trying. I will tell her everything I should’ve told her from the beginning, and this time, I’ll hold nothing back.

She’s mine. She will always be mine.

The doorbell rings, and I run for the door, hoping Natalie has come back, that she’s changed her mind about leaving me.

But it’s not Natalie. It’s the FBI agent. Vickers.

“Mr. Godfrey, I’m afraid we have a problem.”
