Ian's face became deathly pale. He had specifically dismissed Mina's guard detail that morning for no reason other than pure jealousy. He did not plan to directly intervene in the budding romance between the woman and Dom, but he planned to limit the amount of time the pair had to interact. He consoled himself by saying that if Dom were serious about Mina, he would come find her during his free time.
In hindsight, Ian knew it was a reckless and careless thing to do. Now, there was no way for him to get in contact with Mina and if she had decided to run away, it could take days for him to find her again, if he even found her at all. Ian's heart started to palpitate as he thought of the very real possibility that the next time he saw Mina, she might not be alive. Like the old saying, he had cut off his nose to spite his face.
