Chapter 293

Josie backed away and avoided his gaze. She rolled onto the bed at the side, and Dexter didn’t stop her. He subconsciously protected her injured leg.Josie mumbled softly, with her back facing him. “I want to sleep for a while.”Dexter left the room and gave her space.He sat on a leather couch and smoked. The nicotine entered his lungs, and it calmed him. It also invoked slightly sore feelings.He had never felt such emotions for many years.He had risen through the ranks over the past few years. He was devious, ruthless, and he fought with many people. Even with the praise of thousands and an enormous fortune, he wasn’t the least bit happy.His heart had always been empty, and he had nowhere to go.
