Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 475

Michael never really pondered the implications of the situation; his mind was set on keeping things under wraps. Yet, he was well aware that some folks just couldn’t keep their lips sealed. “Max, what do you reckon we do? You can’t bear to let Brielle go, can you?” Michael’s tone. carried a hint of sternness.
