He was out of his mind to have sent her abroad, to have let her lose their child and not care, to have introduced
her to Kellan, to have encouraged her acting career!
Chilled to the bone, Natalie's legs flailed instinctively towards Brian's abdomen. But before her foot could touch
him, he caught her slender leg with ease.

Natalie hadn't expected such brazen disregard from Brian, especially there. Panicked, she raised her arms to
