Talking With Henry Donovan

Bryan didn't utter anything, but his expression was clear enough for Bella to know the answer.

"Geez! Why are you so worried that someone will hurt me? This place is tightly guarded by my husband's people, your friends. And Bryan, my older brother, has no chance of hurting me. I will send him to hell before he does that. Trust me!"

Bryan didn't respond; he only followed her silently.

It didn't take long before they arrived in front of Isaac Donovan's house.

Bella halted and turned to see Bryan. He stopped a few steps behind her.

"Young Madam, I'm so sorry, but I am only following orders," Bryan said apologetically, still trying to avoid her sharp gaze.

She smiled at him, "It's fine, Bryan. I understand. However, I'll go inside alone, and you don't need to follow me."

"But, ma'am... your husband instructed me to—" Bryan stopped when he saw her signal to stop.
