My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Brian frowned as he looked at Holly. After a long pause, he placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Holly, I've seen you grow up. I believe you're not at fault."

Holly paused, her eyes glistening with emotion. "Really?"

"Yes," Brian replied, "But as a family member of a spy, you must understand that there are rules in the department that must be followed."

Holly's expression shifted to deep contemplation. She knew exactly what those rules entailed. Her eyes reddened as she stood there, feeling like a child who had done something wrong, unsure of what to do.
