Connor tried to reassure her with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, I've got this."

Chloe stood across from them, watching the scene unfold with a clear view. For some reason, an unexpected sadness tugged at her heart.

Cassie had once confided in her. Diana was the apple of the King of Eldridge's eye. He had cherished and protected her for years. Everyone knew Diana was destined to be the future wife of his. Connor had been waiting all this time for her to grow up.
