Chapter 94

"Back off! She's my woman. Touch her, and you're gonna regret it!" If Ariella wasn't still in that woman's hands, Lucian would've already knocked the bodyguard out cold. "You said you were taking me inside, didn't you? What are you waiting for? I don't even know this guy." Ariella's tone was calm, but Lucian showing up-yeah, it made the fear of dying kinda vanish. She was obviously in real danger. Lucian figured that out in a second. It was probably all over some jealousy thing. Her rival sure was outrageous, coming at her like that. Didn't she worry Vickers wouldn't let it slide? He came straight over the second Liam dropped the truth on him. He had to say sorry to Ariella, the real kind. He wanted to take her home, protect her, make things right. He couldn't marry her, but everything else-yeah, he'd give it all. Maybe he'd fallen for her long ago and just didn't admit it. She must've been hurt too deep. Even now, in all this chaos, she wouldn't even call out to him. That crushed him.
