After finishing their meal, Am dropped Natalia off at her villa, kissing her forehead before driving off to handle some business. The moment his car disappeared down the road, Natalia exhaled sharply, her confident mask slipping for the first time.
She pulled out her phone and reread the message once more.
"I've landed. See you in a few hours. I want to see you."
Her hands trembled slightly as she typed back a simple response: "Meet me at the private lounge. 20 minutes."
As soon as she stepped inside, a strong pair of arms wrapped around her, lifting her off the ground and spinning her effortlessly.
"You've done a good job keeping my son safe, Natalia."
His deep voice sent shivers down her spine. She barely had time to react before Vincent set her down, gripping her chin between his fingers and tilting her face up to meet his sharp gaze.
