Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Brielle was beside herself with worry, itching to leap out of bed.

Aubree steadied her, a puzzled frown creasing her brow. “If Max lacked even the most basic vigilance, he’d have been taken out a long time ago. A mere Lillian couldn’t possibly outmaneuver him. You should be more concerned about yourself right now.”

Brielle’s lips trembled as she slowly lay back down. “But he really didn’t answer, and Patrick mentioned he was feeling unwell.”

Brielle had thought about calling Kenzo again, but after several attempts already, she was worried about annoying him. Besides, Kenzo was Alivia’s brother.
