Chapter 97

He turned back toward Liana and walked over to the bed. She was already worried before he even reached her.

“Hey,” he said softly, crouching slightly in front of her. “It’s okay.”

“No, it’s not,” she replied immediately. “My father’s men are here armed, Cain.”

“They’re not going to hurt you.”

“And you?” she asked quietly.

Cain paused just briefly before brushing her hair away from her face.

“I’ll be fine.”

Liana stared at him like she wanted to believe that completely but couldn’t. Cain leaned down and kissed her forehead slowly.

“Stay inside,” he instructed gently. “Don’t come out unless I come get you myself.”

“Cain…” She trailed and grabbed his wrist before he could fully pull away.

“I’ll handle it.” He assured her, kissing her one more time, then finally standing and walking out.

Liana watched from inside the building of the clubhouse as Cain went out to meet Steve, who had been denied access into the compound.
