"I'm not afraid." I've died once; what's there to fear? "No matter what they do, I've promised to protect you. And I never break my promises." Max's actions always spoke louder than his words.

"It's that expensive? What if I lose it?" Helen rolled her eyes. "Mrs. Hilton, you're asking the wrong person. I could never afford such an expensive ring in my life."

He didn't answer, but you could feel the jealousy hanging in the air didn't dare push him any further, he looked like he might just snap and order an "Immediate execution." en "Max, how about I dry your hair? I've never done it for Claude." He frowned. "What about Richard?"
My smile widened, and I turned to hug his face. "Never Max, you're the oply one in this life and the last." His smile grew even brighter.
Liftingonto his lap, he said, "I can't bear to see you tired."
