ELENA
I was seething in anger at the mention of Victor Sanders. Who did he think he was to feel embarrassed because of me?
In fact, it should be me repulsed by the idea of him being my future father-in-law!
Mason looked startled by my outburst, but I felt Devon pressing my waist gently. I stole a sideways glance at him to see him smirking in my way as if he was... proud of me?
Covering up his shock, Mason took a step in my way and tried to reach for my hand. But my not-so-dear fiancee, pulled me back to his side, making it clear that I was his territory and Mason couldn't reach there.
Mason took the warning seriously and stopped, retreating his hand to his side.
Ignoring his cousin, Mason said, "Elena, please don't misunderstand my words. Devon is the only son of my uncle and aunt. They love him so much and have done many sacrifices for him.
The things they have done for him cannot be forgotten or repaid in any shape and form."
