Alicia flushed, her demeanor suddenly fragile.

She shook her head stubbornly, her voice barely a whisper.

“I did not.”

Caden’s heart raced, its rhythm echoing in Alicia’s chest like a distant drumbeat.

Before she left, Caden noticed her uneasy expression and called for a bodyguard to ensure she got home safely.
