Chapter 168: I Will Never Marry You

Angela POV

Sean gently shifted me behind him, placing himself between William and me in a gesture that was unmistakably protective.

William lunged forward, fist drawn back. Sean caught his punch mid-air with disturbing ease, fingers closing around William's knuckles like a vise.
