Billionaire's Captive Heiress: Love Under His Rule/Wolfe Bayne

ClaraWhy is he even here? Zachary Langston walks with me, wasting his time at an amusement park. He should be at some high-profile meeting or entertaining a woman like Catarina, the Orange County princess with her perfect blonde waves and designer heels. Yet here he is, steps away from a booth selling corn dogs. The irony of it makes my lips twitch, though I quickly stifle the almost-smile.“You’re quiet,” he says suddenly. It isn’t a question. More like an observation that pins me in place.“I don’t want to disturb your brooding,” I reply, attempting a light tone. Humor is my armor, though it rarely seems to work on him.To my surprise, the corner of his mouth twitches. Barely perceptible, but it is there. “Brooding?” he echoes, arching a brow.“Well, you’re not exactly radiating amusement,” I say, gesturing vaguely at his stern expression. “I think this place is supposed to be fun.”He glances around, as if noticing the flashing lights and laughter for the first time. “Fun isn’t ex

ClaraI glance out the window, watching the streetlights blur past. My chest tightens with the overwhelming feeling that we're being followed. My fingers grip the seat, my palms slick with sweat. I try to steady my breathing, but every turn we take, every red light Zachary speeds through, the car behind us stays right on our tail. It feels like they’re toying with us, and the fear creeping through me grows stronger with each second.I steal a look at Zachary. His expression is stone-cold, eyes scanning the road with razor-sharp focus. I swallow hard, trying to steady my nerves, but the fear gnaws at me, relentless and consuming.“Who are they?” I ask.“I don’t want to know,” Zachary mutters grimly, foot pressing harder on the accelerator. "But I need to lose them."A dangerous thought slips from my lips before I can stop it. “Does this have something to do with your… illegal business?”He glances at me sharply but doesn’t deny it. “Yes.”Fear twists inside me, but it isn’t just for my
