Tiana Thorne's voice was shaky and stuttering, filled with tremors.
She despised herself like this, but couldn't control her fear.
Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was her beautiful face being shattered by lightning...
This was a fear she could never face.
Instinctively, she tightened her arms around his neck. Gradually, a hint of safety rose within her, yet it couldn't calm her chaotic thoughts.
Aiden Shaw frowned, his breath heavy.
He had been accustomed to being alone for many years, avoiding physical contact with anyone, instinctively repelling her touch. His voice was indifferent: "Tiana Thorne, get down."
This time, he called her by her full name.
Tiana shook her head vehemently, saying anxiously, "No! I'm not getting down!"
Rumble—
Another thunderclap sounded, scaring her into closing her eyes tightly, wishing she had the power to shut her ears too.
