As soon as the driver mentioned heading back to the old Sartori family mansion, Chloe's anxiety kicked into high gear. Connor's words only made it worse. "Do we really have to go?" she asked, her voice tinged with worry. "Why not? You've already agreed to marry me," Connor replied, his face tightening. "You're not getting cold feet, are you?"

He also founded numerous children's charities around the world and was a key player in battling international terrorism, taking down notorious groups like the Blood Moon Gang.
