Everly's eyes immediately widened in fear, and she turned her head to look at the door, which pushed open.
Valerio's footsteps, which she knew very well, sounded, and the sound of her beating heart raised even higher.
"Valerio…" She muttered under her breath and lifted her head, only to meet his lavender eyes.
"Everly!!" Valerio, who had his hands tied behind his back, exclaimed the moment he saw her bruised face, which was a result of the slap from Rose.
He tried to rush up to her, but he stopped once he glimpsed the three men behind her who had their guns pointed at her head.
"If you move even an inch, they will burst her brain." Alex's voice sounded, and Valerio turned his head to meet his gaze.
They stood staring at each other, and respectfully, Alex bowed to him. "Your highness, it's good to see you again." He greeted him with a smile on his lips.
