ey with determination as she pleaded, “Please, bring Janey back to me…”
Raegan was willing to do anything for Janey. Every second was crucial.
Otherwise, who knew what those monsters might do to Janey…
“You!” Henley was not pleased but rather furious. Here Raegan was, kneeling before him, surely ruining the image he had just built up.
Others would simply assume he was pressuring her.
“Stand up!” Henley commanded, pulling her up by the arm. “Raegan, don’t test my patience!”
Henley dragged Raegan to a hidden corner where they couldn’t be seen.
Raegan didn’t resist and simply said, “Just give Janey back to me..”
“Is that the only thing you can say?” Henley narrowed his gaze.
Henley might Look like a scholar, but when his expression turned cold, an unexplainable darkness clouded his features. Especially those eyes concealed behind golden-rimmed glasses, like a cunning fox hiding in the shadows.
Beneath his sophisticated exterior, there lay a dangerous appeal, the kind one would find in a modern-day “gentleman rogue.”
“What is it that you truly want?” Raegan’s eyes were red, her self-control stretched to its breaking point, itching to rip this cunning man apart.
“What do I want?” Gently lifting her chin, Henley offered, “Remain by my side…”
Raegan felt a chill. Holding her disgust, she asked, “What about Miss Holmes from Manning?”
Matilda Holmes had been engaged to Henley for two weeks.
Alexis set up the engagement, thinking it was a suitable match for Henley, given his status.
Matilda’ss family, renowned for their generosity, had an excellent reputation and were an ideal match.
Henley, charming and good-looking, had swiftly captured Matilda’s affection.
Despite the video incident, Matilda stepped up to explain it was just a misunderstanding, showing complete faith in Henley. She was so infatuated that it was like she was under a spell.
“Raegan…” Henley’s lips formed a slight smile, his voice husky.
“You should understand, whoever I marry, they can never take your place in my heart.”
Raegan felt sick to her stomach. He desired her as his secret lover, kept in the shadows.
The longing in Henley’s eyes as he gazed at Raegan was evident as he whispered, “Just stay by my side, Raegan. You won’t have to worry about anything. I’ll look after you…”
At that moment, Raegan wished she could slap Henley hard across the face. How could someone speak such offensive words without a second thought? His audacity was beyond belief!
