CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Shane leaned back on the chair before explaining, “Do you remember you once told me that you're suspecting the one who kidnapped you and the one who set fire in the warehouse are the same people?

“It's not like that,” Natalie quickly denied, shaking her head. “It's just a bit shocking.”

“I've already warned you that Stanley is no ordinary person,” uttered Shane before pursing his lips.

“It's futile.” Shane stopped her by holding her hand. “Even if you ask him, your questions will remain unanswered. If he really wanted to let you know, he would've already done so. But he didn't, and why do you think that is?”
