Chapter 345:

Ciara remarked, “Caden always moves with such precision and caution.

It’s rare to see him slip up.” Except for that one time when he lost control and attacked Joshua.

When Caden first returned, Joshua’s arrogance had been unbearable, but Caden chose to endure it.

That was until Joshua crossed the line by kidnapping and tormenting Alicia.

Caden could not let that go.

For her sake, he broke his own rules.

Why, then, was he so concerned about Shelia’s threats against her?

Pushing the confusion aside, Alicia refocused on the matter at hand.
