A Better Deal

As Andrew finished speaking and looked at the man with challenging eyes, Max sucked up a deep breath.

His blood turned cold. The worst feeling one could have was to not be able to protect the person they love more than their life.

He was ready to sacrifice himself for her but he knew that was not enough.

He stared at Adele with his deep and dark eyes as if thinking how to protect the girl, if only she would have agreed when he had asked her that they would run away from there.

The girl who was silent all this time as if analyzing her situation pushed the man who was trying to cover her as if she was weak all this time.

"What do you want?" Though she was asking, she already knew what he wanted and so did Andrew.

A grin formed on his face as he finally sat straight and looked at her with a knowing smile.
