Casting a look at the trio nearby, Hannah said, “You guys head to the car. I need a word with Bryson.”
Once the three were in the car, Hannah turned to Bryson. “I need you to watch her closely.”
Bryson stopped blocking her path to the car. Raising an eyebrow, he glanced her way. “When did you start asking so nicely?”
Hannah shot him a glare. “I’m not in the mood for your jokes right now.”
“Got it. She’s under my watch; she won’t cause any issues. Plus.
Bryson paused, then told Hannah, “She was adamant about tagging along and tried hard to mislead you. She’s not stopping till she gets what she wants.”
The situation was getting more tangled by the minute. Hannah frowned.
His chilly fingers brushed between her brows, snapping her back to reality as she looked up at Bryson standing before her.
Bryson tapped between her eyebrows and gazed down at her. “Be wary of Charlie for now. Remember, we ran into Maryam while trying to save his folks. I reckon they’re on to something. The world ain’t full of coincidences.”
“Alright, I’ll watch my back.”
Bryson lifted his hand to ruffle Hannah’s hair. “No worries. I’ve got your back, always.”
“I’m not a kid, you know. I can look after myself.” Hannah glared at Bryson but didn’t pull away from his touch.
Peering at her phone, Hannah told him, “It’s getting late. Time for me to head back.”
“Okay, catch you later then.”

Watching the car take Hannah away, Bryson’s smile vanished. He headed back into the villa.

Caleb stood in the room. “Boss, guards are all set up. Plus, I’ll check on her daily myself, make sure she doesn’t bolt.”
“Don’t stress it. I’m not planning to bolt,” Maryam’s voice chimed in, a smile in her tone despite being bound. “I asked to come along with you, didn’t I? Why would I take off? If Miss Moore finds truth in my words, she’ll be back. No running from me.”
Bryson shot Maryam an indifferent glance before turning to leave.
Maryam called out to Bryson, “Don’t you wanna know what went down with your dad?”
Bryson’s expression darkened. “Watch it with the mouth!”
Bryson stopped at the door, turning to give Maryam a frosty look.
“If you weren’t still of use to Hannah, you think you’d still be breathing?”
With that, Bryson glanced at Caleb, instructing, “Keep tabs on her.”
“You got it, boss.”
