Chapter 69: Almost Like One of Them
Theo had no choice…He couldn't allow the guards to be the only ones protecting her. Not when Ethan was out there and Zack was moving his pieces like a serpent beneath the ground.

"You look like a normal guy for once," she smiled brightly.
Theo ignored the comment but she saw the corner of his mouth twitch. They walked side by side through the city streets.
Danielle watched children running around a fountain and sighed.
"We look like a couple," she said lightly.
Theo's steps paused for a fraction of a second. He didn't look at her and just kept walking. But his heart hit the inside of his chest like it wanted to respond for him.
