Contrary to my expectations, Riley shook her head and declared, “Forget it. I no longer wish to know. It holds no importance to me anymore. I have made up my mind to bring an end to my marriage with Adam.”
After enduring a long period of confinement within her marriage, Riley finally found the courage to make a definitive choice for herself.
A sense of joy welled up within me for Riley.
However, just as we were immersed in our happiness, a voice unexpectedly emanated from behind us.
As I swiftly turned around, my gaze fell upon Janiya’s bodyguards, hot on our trail.
“Run!”
Grasping Riley’s hand tightly, I contemplated shifting into a wolf to facilitate our escape. However, Riley was inebriated to such an extent that she struggled to maintain her balance. The looming threat of being apprehended by the relentless bodyguards left us with Little hope for escape.
With limited options available, I resorted to urgently guiding Riley towards a concealed location, desperately seeking a hiding spot.
We sprinted relentlessly until we finally reached an alleyway.
Just as I thought we might have a chance to evade capture, a pair of hands suddenly materialized, snatching us away from our fleeting sanctuary.
Debra’s POV:
The man was so strong, and I was caught off-guard. I failed to hold onto Riley, who then fell to the ground.
I thought that it was the enemy, so I turned around with gritted teeth, ready to fight back.
But as soon as I raised my balled-up fist, I suddenly stopped.
Even though it was dark and I couldn’t see clearly who grabbed me, I could smell him.
It was Caleb!
“What’re you doing?” I couldn’t help but demand.
Caleb pressed his index finger against my lips and whispered, “Shush.
Don’t make a sound.”
Then he put his coat around me and scattered my neatly combed hair all over my face. Afterwards, he reached out to hold my waist and pressed me against the wall.
Our bodies perfectly blocked Riley out of sight, who was crouched limply at our feet.
“Who’s there?”
Just then, two bodyguards came over and shone their phones’ flashlights in our direction.
Before the Light reached us, Caleb kissed me immediately.
His Lips were cold and tasted Like wine, but they were still soft.
