Pulling her toward him, he pressed her against the wall and leaned in for a ki*s.
“Back off!”
With swift precision, Hannah aimed a kick straight at Declan’s groin.
Wincing, he loosened his grip and sank to his knees with a muffled groan.
“You! You.”
With a stone-faced look, Hannah stepped over his crumpled form and opened the door.
Bryson was poised to knock when he noticed Hannah. He was initially puzzled, then he saw Declan, kneeling and grimacing in pain.

Unfazed by her explanation, Bryson then queried, “What brought him here to you?”
Hannah considered mentioning her father but decided against involving Bryson.
She shook her head.
“He’s here to stir up chaos. It’s not the first time you’ve witnessed his insanity.”
