“No, we won’t,” Caden said, his tight, protective embrace making me feel like the most precious thing in the

world.

“Really?” I nestled into Caden’s chest, my arms wrapping around his neck. His comforting presence gradually eased the fear and panic that had gripped my heart.

Caden lowered his gaze, looking at me deeply. His voice was steady, filled with certainty. “Trust me.”

I nodded firmly. “Alright.”

Together, we continued our slow descent from the sky.

I pressed against his chest.

I could even hear the strong, steady rhythm of his heartbeat.

Memories surged through my mind like a flood.

Caden had always protected me, always thrown himself into danger for my sake.

Time and again, he had told me, “Rosaline, don’t be afraid. I will protect you.”

He had told me, “Rosaline, I’m pursuing you. Right now, the woman I want to spend my life with–is you.”

I looked up at the man holding me tightly.

His strikingly handsome face, flawless skin, chiseled features, and deep black eyes … Even in the midst of danger, he exuded confidence and regality, like a king born to rule.

And in that moment, an unfamiliar yet undeniable feeling spread through me, overwhelming and electric.

My heart pounded faster and faster.
