“How dare you use that tone on me?” He pulled her closer to his chest, gripping her arms painfully. A quick moan of pain came out of her mouth.

“Leave me, Mr. Adams, you’re hurting me!” She wiggled and twisted her body, but to no avail.

The closeness was affecting her, though scared was her inner feeling.

“You better watch your tone when I’m in front of you,” Viaan warned, hissing.

“That’s the matter, Mr. Adams. I don’t want you to ever come in front of me.” She spat back venomously.

A smirk appeared on Viaan’s face upon hearing her rebellious words. “Well, reality check, Miss Jones, you have to face me often… very often.”

You’ll come to know soon.”Leena scoffed audibly, narrowing her eyes at her son’s mischief, and scolded him lightly. “That ‘soon’ of yours has not come since the last three and a half hours of our journey.

You can’t avoid it any longer. Dr. Ryan was right when he said the more delay you are making the harder it would be to make Viaan understand.” Sophie indirectly quoted Ryan’s words from the last evening.“Out of all people, you should be understanding my dilemma, Soph.” Kiara clicked her tongue, getting annoyed at not finding any solution. “I didn’t wait for Tyler to just wake up, but I needed to k
