? Adrian's POV ?
"What?", Dad asked in disbelief.
"Dad please. I promise to be careful", I pleaded.
"No you are not going anywhere", Dad insisted. "Aren't you scared? There is someone out there that is bent on killing you and he said he won't stop until he does and you are telling me you want to go on a date tomorrow. Adrian please, I can't risk it", he said calmly.
"Dad, I'm not scared anymore. I was scared before and the fear got me nowhere. That's what he want, Dad. He wants us to be scared of him and we shouldn't give that to him. Dad can't you see what he is doing to us?"
Dad sighed knowing that I'm right. "Okay, you can go but with bodyguards."
I know he won't accept me going without bodyguards so I agreed. "Yes, Dad", I said and hugged him. "I love you."
"I love you too princess but you have to be extremely careful.
"I'll be careful Dad", I said and went out of the study.
I went to my room and saw Aiden sitting on
