Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1158

"Works like a charm."

"Good to hear."

The two walked in silence for a bit, until Brielle suddenly stopped, turning to face Jaired.

"Did Max send you?"

"No."

No? Brielle furrowed her brows, wondering who else it could be.

Jaired chuckled. "Someone else, someone you know."

Brielle instinctively thought of King, realizing that Max's dual personalities were no secret within their circle.

Just as Brielle was about to move on, she heard a noise from the bushes nearby.

Thinking it might be a rabbit or some small critter, she started towards it, but Jaired grabbed her arm.

"Don't you have someone to find?"

Right, Brielle thought. Isaac was out there alone. Even with Noir by his side, what if those guys caught up to them?

She turned to rush off but then a voice came from the bushes.

"Run."

Brielle froze in her tracks.
