MASS RELEASE (2)

"I am not going anywhere with you!" She said defiantly and pushed his hand away, surprising him.

Apparently, he didn't think she was going to say no to him after all his sacrifice to come and get her himself. This was a big shock to him.

"What? Don't tell me you'd rather stay here with them than go back with me. I came all this way just to get you and ensure that you're safe…"

"I didn't ask you to." She cut him off. He came to ensure that she was safe? She almost laughed, especially when she began to remember the way he had treated her these past few days just because he was in a one-sided competition with Harold. She had been so stupid, taking their side all these years without thinking things through. But that was in the past. Never again was she going to be fooled or used by Ivan or the queen.

Ivan grabbed Luciana by the hand again and held her tightly this time, but she became aggressive as she tried to shove him away.
