His grip on my wrist spun me around mid-step.
The moment Colton got a clear look at my face, he lowered his gaze. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse.
"I know the truth now."
I frowned.
"After you moved out of the estate, I had someone investigate the k********g. I know Ava planned the whole thing. She's the reason your face was ruined. But at least you're completely healed now."
His eyes brightened for a moment.
"What does my recovery have to do with you?" I asked coldly, pulling my hand free.
Colton's eyes reddened. His hand froze in midair.
"I'm glad Ava lied to me. She told me one of the kidnappers was still alive in Rivermark. I knew that couldn't be true, so I came here right away. That's how I finally found you."
He looked almost relieved.
I let out a dry, humorless laugh.
