It was late when Cassie finally finished her story. She wished there was something more she could do to rectify her wrongdoings against Dani and her father, but at the moment, she could think of none.
Alex had arranged for her safe house where she would temporarily hide until he could prepare for her travel to a more secure location and eventually her freedom.
"Jacob, is it?" Alex asked when he had the chance to talk to the man accompanying Cassie to her new place. When he nodded, he continued. "I hope we can trust that her secret will be safe."
He had no idea of who the man was. All he knew was that Cassie trusted him to bring him along. They had no option now but to do the same.
"Of course. I also want the same thing. I am here to protect my friend." Jacob assured him as they stood outside the room while waiting for Cassie to come out.
