Chapter 61: A Promise and a Curse
"You know… I hate the idea of loving him now… I feel like I will never know him… did he lie about wanting to kill Dad?" Danielle whispered with a trembling heart. "If he did not lie, then why is he here? Why is he working for him?"
A voice broke the silence behind her.
"Because I want to protect you, bunny."
Danielle spun around and saw how Theo stepped out of the shadows with his posture never once bent. His eyes were locked on her like she was the only thing that mattered in this entire world.
She tried to speak and be angry….Danielle tried to tell him he had no right to call her that anymore…
But unfortunately, Theo reached her faster.
His hand cupped her cheek and his lips pressed against hers with the force of desperation and fire.
It wasn't very gentle or innocent how one would expect.
To Danielle, this felt like every fear and every longing crashed together like two storms finally touched in the ocean.
