"I know what Erik wants, and the moment he shows up, I'm gonna catch him. I want to trade him for Serena's life. Is that okay?" Martin pleaded as he bowed deeply, "Please."
The four exchanged knowing glances, silently concluding that the kid was a lost cause. He was hopelessly devoted to that girl, Serena, who just couldn't see it. Her heart had always belonged to Romeo.
"Just go home." Louisa was adamant about not releasing Serena, "She's hurt Rose time and time again. I'm not about to let her off the hook that easily. And to be brutally honest, if she's really dying, it's
Erik's fault. Why hasn't he shown up all this time? If he can ignore his own daughter's life or death, why should you, just her boyfriend, bother?"
"Mrs. Collins." Martin began, but Louisa cut him off.
