Marcus scrambled to collect his thoughts, convinced he could talk her into staying this time.
But, to his surprise, she just ran off
Leaving him alone at the proposal site.
Without a second thought, he bolted after her.
Gemma reached the hotel entrance, frantically trying to hail a cab.
Just thent
A sleek black car pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down, and Shown’s icy gaze pierced the dim light
Without hesitation, Gemma yanked open the door and jumped inside.
In her rush, she didn’t even notice Cassius sitting in the back, nearly tumbling straight into his arms..
Before she could say “Sorry,” Cassius reached out.
He grabbed her shoulder, gently pushing her into her seat as he shielded her.
His eyes were cold and sharp.

The sounds filled the air, sending shockwaves throughs her nerves
Grimma was on edge, her body stiff with tension.

The sudden motion sent her hurtling forward, her body pressing against Cassius’s chest.
She could feel his heartbeat vibrating through his body.
“Stay still.”

She froze.
“Case let’s g get out of here these line.”
Before she could finish, he turned and saw the scene unfolding outside. He quickly changed his words.
“Don’t worry, these are small problems, I can haulle them
He was out of the car in a fish, slamming the door slut with swill precision.
His movements were so sinoatli,

back in her seat.
“Those guys outside, they’re not Marcus’s people.”
Gemma quickly shifted the couvenation to distract herself.
Cassius leaned back in his seat, his features hardening like a frozen sculpture
“You know him well?
Gemma nodded without thinking
They had lived together for nearly seven years. Even though she had never worked at Willson’s, as a married couple, she could pick up on a lot of

“Who would go to such lengths to kill me?”
Cassius didn’t respond riglu away.
He rubbed his temple, as if deep in thought, and his fingers brushed a fait trace of rose fragrance.

His frown deepened.
“Since it’s not his people, maybe these killers are after me.”
Gemina blinked, surprised
“Someone would dare to go after you?”
As soon as the words left her mouth, she realized how ally they sounded.
The bimen had already broken.
Talking about daring was a bit of a joke.
But Cassius didn’t find her question foolah. In fact, he answered with complete i
