Dania brushed the thought aside. "You're Rainer Stuart, I presume." she said, her voice flat. "I'm Dania Cooper , Willow's best friend."
Before Rainer could utter a response, Dania's expression hardened, "Willow chose you, so it's your responsibility to ensure her safety. Felix snatched her away, leaving her battered and bruised — all because you weren't there to protect her." she accused.
Willow's jaw dropped. She was about to jump to Rainer's defense.
She was a grown woman , after all. Why would she require constant protection?
This whole ordeal was Felix's fault, not Rainer's.
In fact, Rainer had swooped in just in the nick of time to rescue her.
She shudderet to think what might have happened if he hadn't been there.
Before Willow could utter a word, Rainer intervened, "You're absolutely right." he admitted, his voice laced with remorse. "I failed to keep Willow safe."
Rainer's unexspected confession stunned both Willow and Dania into silence.
