Mysterious Male Escort Is a Mogul

qFrancesca was stunned and kept her eyes on him.

They had known each other for quite some time, but she had never seen that side of him before.

He never talked about his family, either. They slept together, and that must've changed things. Perhaps that was why he was finally willing to let her in his heart and why he no longer felt the need to hide anything from her.

“What's wrong? Are you scared?” asked Danrique as he shifted his gaze to Francesca.

“No,” replied Francesca as she shook her head. “I think that, deep down, you are a kind man who will not kill for no reason. You definitely won't hurt anyone who didn't have it coming.”

That was what she truly believed in.

Francesca recalled what had happened when they had just met. Everyone was lost in the forest in Lightspring at the time. Danrique had Sean and Sloan run first while he stayed back to buy them more time.

Someone as powerful as Danrique would always have subordinates who would die to protect him.

Yet, Danrique protected his men and demanded that they leave.

That wasn't the only time something like that happened, either. There were several other encounters where Danrique had put others' safety over his own.

He might seem cruel and unloving on the surface, but the truth was that he cared for the people around him deeply. That was why he could inspire loyalty among his men.
