From a Wrong Turn to Mr. Right novel Chapter 263

“An eye for an eye, right? But I’m still here, so he doesn’t get to pay with his life. Doesn’t mean he’ll get away, though. Prison’s waiting for him.” Damian Franklin’s voice was cold, a stark contrast to the gentle, easy-going man people thought they knew.
