She might be vile, but she’s not stupid.” Brea arched a brow, her lawyer’s instincts refusing to yield. “Don’t underestimate desperation.

"The world out there may crumble into pieces. My enemies may try to bring this building down. But as long as you are under my protection, you will be safe. I will not let anyone, not even death, touch you without my permission." The promise felt dark, yet it gave Claire a strange sense of security.

I would play it better. --- Meanwhile, across town… Claire gripped the steering wheel with one hand while holding her phone to her ear with the other. “Get everything there is to know about Liam Raul King,” she said into the line, her voice steady and commanding. “Everything, even before he became who he is today.

he said to her, releasing her neck and taking a firm grip on her arm, "we have things to discuss." Claudia gasped and went with him. He gave her no choice. She tried resisting his hold, but it was unbreakable. "We have nothing to discuss Mr. King," she hissed. "Let go of my arm!" King gave her a chilling smile and said, "We have everything to discuss Miss Cantore. Starting with your protection fee.
