Nora shrank back in fear. At that moment, Aiden got up from the seat and tried to close the distance. But with every step he took, she took equal steps back until she hit the wall. He placed a palm on the wall, behind her head.
Staring into his eyes up-close, Nora realized they've all been fooled. He's always had Den's condescending, proud, and arrogant dark eyes. To say she's scared right then would be an understatement. She thought he would kill her for finding out his true identity.
"Give me their names... Everyone who humiliated my wife."
"Wh– What..." was he asking for names instead of killing her?
Aiden took his hand off the wall and moved back a bit. "I'm a grateful person even though I detest it. You stood up for my wife a couple of times, so I have no desire to kill you. Now, give me the names."
Nora forced her racing heart to calm. At least she's been guaranteed safety. As for what he asked for, she would gladly give it.
