Kevin had been waiting downstairs. The moment he saw Chris‘ dark, stormy expression, and the bruises on his face, he couldn’t help but gasp.

“So, Miss Giovanni still refused, huh?” he asked.

Chris shot him a sharp, icy glance. Kevin instantly knew–another failure.

With a sigh, Kevin muttered, “You can’t just force these things. Women need to be coaxed.”

“Coaxed?” Chris sneered. The word dripped with sarcasm.
