“Nicole isn't doing well," Henley replied, aware of the entire situation, including Nicole's altercation with Jamie.

He also warned that Nicole might face harm in custody.

Alarmed, Raegan asked, “How is that possible? She hasn't been convicted yet."

Henley adjusted his glasses and explained, “Consider the detention center's environment. Jarrod has arranged for people to target Nicole there."

Raegan was speechless, horrified by Jarrod's cruelty. Jarrod hadn't let Nicole go, even arranging for Nicole's torture while in detention.

Concerned for Nicole, Raegan pleaded, "Henley, please, you must get Nicole out of there soon!"

Henley, moved by her plea, responded, “I can help, but I have one condition."

His eyes held a wolf-Like intensity, unsettling Raegan.

“What's the condition?" she asked.

Henley stood and sat close to Raegan, his presence making her uneasy.

Raegan recoiled, but Henley pulled her closer forcefully.

He caressed her face, his voice low and rough.

"Be my girlfriend.

From now on, I'll be the only man in your life.

Raegan's complexion was porcelain-like, with soft, full lips.

Henley felt a new, unfamiliar impulse surge within him, an urgent longing unlike anything he had experienced before.

Raegan felt trapped. Henley's gaze was dark and overwhelming. Without waiting for her response, Henley kissed her abruptly.

Raegan was taken aback, unable to respond immediately.

After all, they were in his office.

Raegan couldn't believe Henley would dare to behave so inappropriately in such a setting!
