Dominic could see the worry in her eyes, and it filled his heart with warmth.
Earlier, Mila had tried to leave him and escape his world. She had hated him for locking her up and controlling her life. But now, she cared about him and even worried about his people.
The change in her was undeniable. And it only made him want to protect her more fiercely.
"Lucas is smart," Dominic said calmly. "He knows what he is doing. He'll be fine."
But Mila didn't share his confidence.
"You are too confident. He is alone among enemies. One mistake, and they'll execute him."
Dominic only smirked faintly.
Mila frowned. She studied him carefully. There wasn't even a trace of fear or hesitation in his eyes. All she saw was certainty, as though he had already won the battle before it had even begun.
"What are you smiling at?" she asked suspiciously.
