Richard couldn’t hide the hint of admiration in his eyes at Xylia’s calm composure.

“Ms. Sadler, you really are the most extraordinary woman I’ve ever met.”

It was like being stared down by a venomous snake, and goosebumps broke out all over Xylia’s skin.

She furrowed her brows and demanded, “What exactly are you after?”

If Richard had snatched her just as leverage against Joshua, then what did that mean for her…?

‘Does that mean I’m just a bargaining chip here?‘ Xylia couldn’t help but feel her gut tighten at the thought.

Richard sat there with an easy, almost lazy posture, his gaze meandering over Xylia like he had all the time in the world.

His eyes lingered on her fists–knuckles white as she gripped them tight against her knees without even noticing it—and he couldn’t help the smug curve that crept onto his lips.

“Ms. Sadler, really, you don’t need to be scared. I promise, I don’t mean you any harm. I just… like you. That’s all,” Richard said, voice smooth and almost too gentle.

Xylia’s skin crawled.

There was zero joking in Richard’s eyes–he was utterly serious.

‘Wait, am I really being targeted by a guy like him?‘ Xylia couldn’t help but shudder at the thought.

But none of this felt real.

No way did she have that kind of heartbreaker aura. Xylia and Richard had barely even crossed paths; how could he really have feelings for her?

‘There’s no way I’m what Richard’s really after,‘ Xylia thought with certainty.

Suddenly, the plane lurched violently twice, and a broadcast came over the speakers: “We’ve hit turbulence, please remain seated and keep your seatbelts fastened.”

In the shifting shadows of the cabin, Xylia glimpsed Richard’s face–still as gentle–looking as ever, like some scholarly gentleman. But tonight, the air around him practically pulsed with murderous intent, sharper and more obvious than ever before.

Two hours later.

The plane touched down with a jarring thud, then skidded along the runway for what felt like forever before finally coming to a stop.

Xylia’s wrists were cuffed again.

The cold metal dug into the tiny cuts on her skin, sending a sharp pain shooting up her arms. She winced instinctively.

Richard noticed, but he didn’t give a damn.

This was somewhere completely foreign to her, unsettling in its unfamiliarity.
