Aidan's face tightened, a mask of rage carved so sharply that Helena froze where she stood.
His jaw clenched, as he seized her hand with a tight grip before dragging her towards the exit.
Helena stumbled after him, her heart hammering.
"What are you doing, Alex? Don't do anything foolish, please," she whispered, her face a mask of fear and terror.
She had dreaded going against her mother's wish, but she recognized the rage in Aidan's eyes.
He was going to do something drastic that would not only endanger everything, but also Anna's life.
Helena had simply overheard her mother over the phone saying: Keep her until the wedding.
Helena knew immediately that it was someone close. At first, she had thought it was Jayden but she knew her mother had no idea about Jayden's existence.
So it meant only one thing; the one person who was an obstacle to the royal wedding of her and Aidan; Annalyn Lorenzo.
