Chapter 70

• Ava’s POV
• "Dante!" I yelled, but he didn't listen. He grabbed my hands. My eyes got wide because even though he was drunk, he was still super skilled, like he could hurt someone badly even with his eyes closed. I was breathing hard and scared because he looked really frightening. I knew him as a fun and bubbly guy, but now he looked mean and uncaring. Maybe this was how he really was.
• "I can protect you too! You don't have to marry him!" he growled. He pushed me against the wall and even wrapped his legs around mine so I couldn't run away.
