[Ellie's P.O.V.]
I was stunned for a brief moment before I burst out into laughter. Anton was spitting daggers with every word he said today. Honestly, there was no point in reasoning with Kans anymore.
The night gradually arrived and a full moon appeared in the sky, illuminating the road we had taken to arrive here/
Kans went out to take a call and came back in a good mood. "If you think I won't dare do anything to you without those bodyguards, just you wait. My people will be here soon anyway."
My heart skipped a beat. He did have a backup plan, which meant Anton and I had little hope of victory.
I looked at Anton who met my gaze. He continued to hold my hand reassuringly as he said, "Trust me, and trust Ollie."
