Chapter 53: At Last

Roman's wicked promise turns my knees to jelly.

I hear myself beg, "Not here. Please."

He doesn't wait another moment. He releases his grip on my waist, then grabs my hand and pulls me through the sea of reporters. We're moving against the crowd, but that doesn't stop Roman. He forces his way through, dragging me behind him. I nearly stumble in my heels, but he doesn't let me fall. He leads me away from the carpet.

As we go, I hear a new round of shouts go up behind us.

"Raphael!"

"Just one picture!"

"Raphael! A question!"
