Chapter 121
Third Person's POV
Cassian didn't respond to her immediately.
His gaze was fixed on Ulva and Randolph. In their eyes, there was no explosive rage—only a cold, dead disappointment.
That kind of silence was far more humiliating than any threat.
"I'm here. They won't do anything to you," Cassian said, before reaching down and peeling Samantha's hand off his arm.
His movement wasn't rough, but it was as definitive as a boundary line. "Go home now."
Samantha's fingers froze in mid-air, her face turning a shade paler.
She wanted to say more, but the sudden detachment in Cassian's eyes silenced her. She could only stand there and watch him walk toward Trista's parents.
Cassian caught up to them, reaching out to help with their bags, his voice low. "Let me give you a ride."
