Chapter 30 Soft Kisses

• Lena tramped wearily across the living room, her hands hovering over her head and her heart in her throat. She cursorily glanced through the window whenever there was a sound; she prayed so hard that Darian wasn't injured, shot, or even killed.
• "What if something has happened to him?" She looked at her bodyguards, they said nothing. She twirled to face Jay and then, she begged. "Please, take me back to the family house, I can't stay back here when he's out there in danger, I can't do it. Please, take me back." Lena sobbed into his shoulders.
• Jay signalled to her bodyguards to excuse them. After they left, he positioned her on the couch and cupped her face with his hands.
