Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

“That was a bit reckless,” she mused aloud.

After freshening up, she deliberately pulled her collar higher and opened the door, finding Wesley still waiting outside.

“Ms. Brielle, why don’t you head down for some hot soup to chase away the chill? Mr. Dorsey instructed me, before he left, not to let you step out of Premier Palace. Mr. Kenzo is still recuperating in town, and if the Barnes clan traces his last known whereabouts to you, I reckon they might drag you into this mess.”

A bitter taste spread in Brielle’s mouth; Kenzo had met with disaster because of her. She glanced at her frail form and wondered if she could withstand the wrath of the Barnes family should they decide to come after her for this incident.

As she sipped her soup, her mind was racing. Twice now, she’d been targeted, yet the assailant left no clues. Who could it be? With her status, how could she have attracted such a vendetta?
