Still, she couldn't resist glaring at Bennett with intense fury. "The only reward I want is for you to let me leave."

Bennett sighed, stood up, and began to walk toward Ariana slowly with his hands in his pockets. His smiling eyes sent a shiver down her spine.

Ariana instinctively moved back as Bennett approached unhurriedly.

She kept retreating until her back pressed against the cold marble wall. She was cornered.

Quietly, she balled her fists, her hand slipping into her bag behind her, preparing for a fight.
