Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

The guy who got the order hustled over to Brielle, helping her to her feet. She was blindfolded, totally clueless about where she was being taken. It wasn't until she entered a new room and felt the edge of a bed that she had some idea. "Ms. Brielle, you can rest here."

After sitting stiffly on a couch for ages, she yearned for the comfort of the bed. She was beyond ready to crash.

Brielle let out a big sigh of relief. As long as Aubree was safe, that was all that mattered.

The room was eerily quiet. Brielle cautiously tugged at her blindfold, half-expecting someone to stop her. But no one did.
