Danrique placed Francesca into the car and said politely to Justin, who had come forward to stop him, “Francesca is my woman, General Jablonski. I will not hurt her.”

“As I was the one who had brought her to Xendale, I am responsible for her safety,” Justin protested firmly.

Danrique's gaze was steely. “She will be safe with me. You are welcome to visit the Lindberg residence if you're not assured.”

Danrique's men departed with Lincoln's remains.

Francesca felt her head splitting open as if it was about to explode when she finally regained consciousness.

Norah wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead and asked tenderly, “You've been talking in your sleep. Did you have a nightmare? Don't be scared. Everything is all right now.”

Francesca rubbed her eyes. “How long have I been out for?”
