She gently traced the terrifying scar on Ayden’s face and said. “You’re one tough cookie”
That scar was from a few years back when Ayden took one for Marcus. He had got more scars than
just that one Back then, if they hadn’t been lucky. They could’ve both kicked the bucket right there in
the States, qurned down by some thugs
Ayden pushed her hand away “Stop erving mom. I ain’t scared of a little pain

Dr. Dawson continued. “I think Marc’s thing for Comelia is more than just ‘cause she’s his wife. He truly
digs her You gotta look out for her mors Can’t have happened tonight happening again”

She added. “If Marc hadn’t been quick to send backup and hopped on his private jet to Woodpine in
time, Cornelia might’ve been snatched by Zavier That guy’s bad news. If he’d gotten what he wanted, it
would’ve been a real doozy trying to get Cornelia back.”

Steven stood his ground, so Rosie had to sweet talk her husband, “Lucas, you promised I could hang

looked well rested today.
