litary background that gave him an imposing presence. His cold eyes were fixed on Cassandra, making it clear he had already judged her to be in the wrong.

Now you’re demanding an apology. Do you think I’m an easy target because I’m alone, or is it that the Houston family’s power is so great you can do as you please in Drieso?”

Cassandra thought to herself, ‘Is this the man who sets up girlfriends for Ken without? Assuming Ken’s practically part of their family without any formal tie.
