The bracelet. The way he looked at me like I was nothing.

This was too much for me, and I started to feel dizzy. “Hi, can I get something to eat?” I asked the guard who immediately left the room.

By the time the guard returned, I had logged out and was pretending to still be on Ralph’s case. “Miss Quinn. There’s no need for you to keep searching. The Alpha is guilty, I was there. I saved Vance Baldwin’s nephew. He’s the only one who survived the tragedy.”

He didn't even look down when he dropped the bottle. The doctor came and checked my pupils and blood pressure, then said, "It's a miracle! This is an unprecedented case!"

It felt insignificant but somehow, she knew

She rolls her eyes like that was obvious. “Jared, looks like it’s you and me.” Nick says. “Cool.” “Let’s go settle in.” Aidan winks at Danika who rolls her eyes but follows him into the elevator. “Everyone be down here in 30minutes.” Mrs Woods shouts before everyone heads into their rooms. The rest of us head up once the mad elevator rush is over. “This room is stunning.” Chiara says. She drops her bags on the floor and throws the balcony doors open.

“It’s your uncle’s doing the first time you had an encounter with riding in tandem. The initial plan was only to target your husband, but it failed. I’m not expecting you to believe me. But I do care for you. When I said your life is in danger, I mean it. A group of people inside the organization thinks you have a large amount of money that should have been for them. We had a joint account, remember?” “I never touch your dirty money! I never once looked at it.” “I know. I hope saving your life would be enough for you to forgive me. I’ll let you go to the next anchorage. At the same time, I’m planning to hide. Anywhere, or maybe abroad if I’m lucky.” “I will never forgive you, sonofabitch!” E
