Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Fiancé Uncle 159

Chapter 159

Thea's hand rested softly on his chest, as she cudded up to him with a birdlike gentleness.

She had never shown this kind of dependence before.

Nicolas' movements were gentle, careful not to hurt Thea in his arms.

Neither spoke, but Jake could read Nicolas' eyes all too clearly, a comprehension between men.

Jake shrank back, feeling small, like a quail.

The men under Nicolas' command respected no one but Nicolas, something Jake had learned as a teenager.

It was not uncommon for him to suffer a beating if he crossed the wrong line when he was young, and even his parents couldn't intervene on his behalf.
