All of her belongings got confiscated, which kept Nathalie's life at Nathan's mercy; nevertheless, she held her head high and never batted an eye.

"Answer me..." His snarls were low and deep, but she flinched at a moment's notice.
He meant business when he bared his fangs at her, and him being straightforward and impatient made her think twice.
