River slept peacefully next to Ranon. Surprisingly, she slept for eighteen hours! Aside from eating and the need to use a bathroom, she slept throughout the day.
But whenever she opened her eyes, Ranon was there. He stayed with her the whole time. He didn't even take a step out of the room, and all of the orders he gave to his people, he did through the phone, even when they were in the same house buildings.
Lucian and Ares couldn't even see him when they dropped by to give him a report about the company.
It was the next day when River finally woke up and was sober enough to stay awake and learn what had happened when she was sleeping.
She snuggled against Ranon's chest with her eyes closed, while Ranon played with her hair.
"My man spotted Michael entering the Barlowe family's house early this morning." Ranon glanced at the clock on the wall; it was lunchtime. "He has been there for five hours."
