When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

As I watched him dashing away, I continued sipping my tea with great satisfaction.

You can never escape my clutches, Nathaniel. As long as I am still alive, you’ll be my prisoner.

I wondered if she was making a fool out of me because I knew Alexander wouldn’t say no to her.
