And what happened five years ago must have ruined her life at the time. It was not easy for a pregnant woman to go abroad to make a living alone. Now that she was aware of the secret between Mond and Jackson, Derek decided to make her the exception. He would tell her everything she needed to know. Maybe it would help her to protect her family and her beloved well.
