The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

You… Maloney wanted to argue more, but he knew it would be futile.

Left with no choice, he compromised.

Alright.

It was the end of their discussion.

Maloney looked around the area once again and asked, What about tonight? Are you going to sleep here? Hannah looked at him seriously and nodded.

I have to.

It would rule out the possibility of being assassinated tonight.

It would be too dangerous for me to be alone.

I cant get in or out of anyones room, so I would have to impose on you tonight.

Maloney didnt know what to say.

Putting a hand over his forehead, he closed his eyes and let out a sigh.

Fine.

You can sleep on the bed.

Ill take the sofa outside.

..

Library Thank you.

Then Hannah stood up and said, Ill go take a shower.

Have a good night, Mr.

Pierce.

Outside the room.

Remington returned to the villa.

When he went up the second floor, he saw two of his fathers men standing in front of Maloneys room.

Furrowing his brows, he walked over to the two and asked, What are you doing here? Mr.

Lyons, your father has instructed us to keep watch over Miss Moore tonight.novelbin

She is in Mr.

Pierces room now.

Hearing that Hannah was staying in Maloneys room made Remington hesitate.

Part of him wanted to knock on the door.

He stood outside for a long while before finally deciding against it and leaving.

Hannah had a good nights sleep.

In the morning, she stretched and washed up, then opened the door and came out.

Outside the Living room window, the sunlight slanted in, like a harbinger of a pleasant day.

Maloney had already gotten up.

He leaned against the sofa, enjoying his morning coffee.

Seeing Hannah push open the door and come out, he snorted, It seems like you slept well, Miss Moore.

Yes, it was good.

Thanks for guarding me.

I could sleep without a worry.

She smiled and sat on the sofa.

On the other hand, I get the feeling it wasnt the same for you, Mr.

Pierce.

Maloney resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

At least one of us got a good nights sleep.

Ive been worried the whole night that someone might break in and try to kill you! Hannah burst out into laughter at this.

You worry too much.

Im tougher than I look.

No one would be able to do anything.

I hope so.

Have some breakfast.

The corner of Maloneys lips lifted as he took a sip of coffee.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside.

Hearing the noise, the two turned toward the sound at the same time.

The next second, there was a loud knock on the door.

Maloney stood up and gestured for Hannah to stay seated.
