As Damien pulled her along with him, he couldn't understand the unease and fear twisting in his chest.
He was not supposed to care.
He was supposed to leave her in her room and walk away.
But the thought of what she might do if left alone terrified him.
And that was when he realized it.
He couldn't let her out of his sight.
Reaching his chamber, Damien yanked the door open and pulled Sofia inside, slamming it shut behind them. He didn't speak. Not a single word.
He dragged her straight across the room and into the bathroom.
Sofia stumbled, barely able to keep up.
When they reached the shower, Damien shoved her under it and turned the handle sharply.
Cold water burst down.
Sofia gasped as the freezing spray hit her skin. Her breath caught painfully in her chest as the shock made her knees buckle.
She cried out, her body shaking instantly.
Damien stood there, watching, his fists clenched at his sides, a big frown plastered across his face.
