Kaden rested one hand on her face. She leaned into his touch. His heart was squeezed. She had closed her eyes, lost in his caress. He didn't dare to move his hand. Didn't dare to disturb her. She was so beautiful, like a lovely bird taking a rest on a branch. He slipped his other hand to her lower back, pulling her close.
"It is not death I am worried about," Kaden murmured.
Lina did not say anything. You'd think she was asleep. That was how peaceful her expression was. In reality, she was thinking of all the things that her Second Uncle could do to her.
Shoving her into a van. Tying her to the ends of a helicopter. Making sure she wakes up in shark-infested waters. There were many things a man could do to a woman that was worse than death. And her Second Uncle didn't hesitate to cross the line.
"It is your wellbeing I care for," Kaden deadpanned.
