Thorn Between

"Damn it! Cassie!"

Cassie let out a scream as Theo suddenly yanked her. He quickly grabbed her and readied his gun. In her mind, she cursed under her breath. But when she saw who was at the door, her breath caught in her throat.

"Young master!"

Damn, it was Orly! Shit!

"Damn it, Orly!" Theo shouted angrily at the man.

"What the hell is going on?" Cassie closed her eyes, feeling the anger radiating from Theo's every word. Fear consumed her, making it hard to breathe. Her hands and knees trembled uncontrollably. This situation is never-ending. The anxiety and fear are suffocating her.

"They sent some assassins, young master. We managed to capture three of them," Orly calmly informed, bowing slightly to his young master.

Theo and Cassie were both taken aback.

A-assassins? Are there really assassins in this area?
