Too weak and helpless.

"WHAT?! YOU THINK MY SISTER WILLINGLY BECAME DOMINIC FERRARI'S FIANCÉE?! HE KIDNAPPED HER AND THREATENED TO KILL US IF WE EVER TRY TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM HIM!" Garette's voice trembled with anger and desperation, his fists clenched at his sides.

Joseph stared at Garette, his own heart aching at the pain his friend was in. He could see the desperation in Garette's eyes, the raw fear and helplessness. "KIDNAPPED?!" Joseph already knew Dominic Ferrari was an evil person, but he didn't know he could go as far as to capture an innocent person who did nothing to him and keep her captive. "Garette, I had no idea it was that bad. I'm so sorry. We have to do something about this. We can't let him get away with it."
