Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 988

Brielle furrowed her brow, sizing up the man in front of her without taking his outstretched hand. Myles, seemingly unfazed by her scrutiny, glanced around the room instead. "Lost, are you? I can show you the way out," he offered.

The place was vast, each section boasting a unique atmosphere, a testament to how much the elusive King enjoyed his luxuries. There was something about Myles that Brielle didn't quite trust. He exuded a sense of danger, mixed with an indescribable aura. With a frown, she turned to leave the way she'd come, but Myles followed closely behind. "Here to see King?"
