Even with an inhumane amount of willpower and restraint, there was no way he could hold back the throbbing desire his heart felt at that moment. He wanted to have her by her side regardless of everything else happening around them.

"I'm sorry, Jay. You can call me selfish, but the Severe family cannot lose Angeline again. I can no longer watch Angeline run blindly toward you like a moth to a flame. That's not her calling."

"I promise you, Old Master. I promise I'll take care of her. Even if it costs me my life, I'll keep her safe." He had pleaded and begged the old master not to take away his right to love Angeline. However, he was sentenced to death by the old master's next sentence.

"Don't you understand, JJ? Only with her alive would the two of you have a chance of a future together.

What will you do if she dies?"

Jay gave a strong shudder at the suggestion. "I won't let her die."

He had suffered the aftermath of her death once, and it was an immense amount of helplessness and grief that had his heart drained.

"Are you sure that you can protect her? Do you know who this evil within the Ares family is? No, you don't. You don't even know who you're fighting at all, Jay."

"Shh, Angeline, it'll be okay. Just give me some time. Let me walk out of this haze and into the clearing.

Then I'll fetch you home. Trust me, my love," Jay murmured to himself.
