I felt them slowly pulling me apart. Is this how I die? Are they going to tear me in two?
"I said let her go!" Sparrow shouted, rage dripping from every word.
"Don't take Solar from me! I already let Charlotte go to you! And now, Solar too?!" August snapped back, his voice cracking with anger.
I froze. For the first time, I saw them like this—and I was stuck right in the middle. What if they started fighting? Would I be the one caught in their crossfire?
"This time… Solar is mine!" August growled.
Sparrow immediately released me, and I was shoved into August's embrace. What the hell is happening?!
"Give her back to me," Sparrow demanded, stepping forward while August slowly retreated.
"I haven't taken her from you, August. I admit it—I'm interested in Charlotte. But I never said I loved her… The one I truly care about is Solar," Sparrow said, his voice calm but firm.
"Liar!" August shouted.
