Griffin glanced up at Sophie, realizing she planned to use him as bait. Even though Sophie had let them go, the person behind the scenes would surely contact him again, making sure Sophie stayed in the dark about his identity. Typical of Colby's woman, always thinking things through so thoroughly.

She never showed mercy to enemies who threatened her life, only sparing those who still had some use to her.

Hearing Sophie's words, Griffin just pressed his lips together. Then, struggling to his feet, he stepped closer to Sophie and knelt down again. "Ms. Sophie, I beg you. If you agree to my condition, you can take my life whenever you want in exchange." Griffin bowed his head to the ground, the silence around them unexpected.
