Chapter 84 I‘m Sorry, But You’ve Got the Wrong Person I couldn‘t put the operation or my men‘s lives in danger. We were in enemy territory, after all. I decided to end the mission and go back to our base to plan out our next move. But as I retreated, I knew one thing was for certain. I would get Rosalie back. I had to wonder, though: how would she react when she saw me again–knowing what I had intended to do to her? Was there any way that she could ever forgive me? And if not… What would I do? *** Night after night, I ventured back to Rosalie‘s garden, lurking within the shadows of the thick canopy, hoping for something– anything to let me know again what I saw was real. Even though Soren was on the island at the moment, he had proven more than capable of protecting himself so far. We had to adjust our schedule. My men would continue to infiltrate the property and perfect our operation plan, and I just had to find a way to get him to slip up. Every man had his weakness. Richard‘s report said that they expected Soren to leave again for a few more days. We would have to wait at least until the next time he returned. So we wouldn‘t move forward with the plan tonight. ‘You‘re not coming with us?‘ Richard asked through the mindlink. ‘No. Take the others and do another perimeter sweep.’ Soren wasn‘t here, and the patrol wasn‘t being as thorough as usual. I had no doubt that Richard could handle it by himself. I stayed in the shadows outside of her garden. My eyes automatically searched for her, longing to see her once more. Thad spent most nights around Rosalie’s house ever since I found out she was still alive. The desire to be close to her was strong, and I would continue to return every night, if I had to, until I was able to have her within my arms once more. And tonight, I was prepared to do it again. The warmth of her laughter filling the air spurred a desire in me to erase all distance between us. Standing at the tree line, I watched as Soren exited the cottage, and climbed into his car. His presence alone caused my jaw to clench.copy right hot novel pub
