Levi stood at the threshold, ready to go in but he was conflicted.
He was worried about how much trouble Lyse could get into without him around to stop her.
He wanted to go in search of Lyse, ask his men to go in and rescue Lily instead. But he knew Lyse would never forgive him if he did not keep Lily at the top of his priority.
He had a very bad feeling about this. His phone had been ringing with constant updates from his team at the penthouse.
They had found the guards, unconscious but alive. Lyse was gone.
He knew she had run, of course he did. He was not surprised, he was just disappointed. He had left her there for her own safety but she had chosen to ignore it.
He had to get her back. He had to protect her.
But he could not leave Lily. Not now. Not when he was so close.
He had to make a choice. A choice between the two people he cared about most in the world.
He had to trust that Lyse could take care of herself, for now.
