Levi's presence filled the area, his seven wives looming behind him, exuding an air of intimidation as they awaited his next move. Laura stood firm, her gaze unwavering, even as Levi attempted to manipulate her emotions.
"I admit, it was unwise of you to elope with Ryan," Levi began, his tone attempting to sound conciliatory, "but perhaps I acted too harshly. If you return home with me now, I'm willing to forgive your behavior".
Laura's expression remained resolute as she refused his proposition. Positioned protectively in front of Ethan's unconscious body, she shielded him from Levi's imposing figure.
"I'm sorry Sire, but I don't ever plan on regional" Laura declared firmly, her voice steady, "You have consistently demonstrated a complete lack of respect for people, including those you vowed to make happy and protect. Your twisted character makes you no better than a captor, forcing your wives into a fate they did not choose".
