The Moment I Realized I Can't Lose You novel Chapter 92

Audrey looked up at Joaquin. The face she had once loved so deeply now felt completely foreign. As she stared into his dark, storm-filled eyes, her chest tightened.

She had always believed Joaquin was a good person. He just didn't love her. But over the past few days, his actions had slowly killed whatever hope she had left.

For Rainey's sake, he had intentionally set up those abusive scenes on set. He had openly favored Rainey without hesitation. And now, was he really going to lay a hand on her himself, all to avenge Rainey?

The fear, the crushing disappointment, the total helplessness in her eyes—Joaquin saw it all. He frowned, his tall, imposing figure coming to a dead stop right in front of her.

A second later, his gaze sliced through the men pinning her arms like a blade. "Let her go, unless you want broken limbs by the end of the night."

His voice was frighteningly calm, stripped of any visible emotion. But the oppressive, terrifying aura rolling off him made the air in the room instantly heavy.

The bodyguards exchanged panicked looks and immediately dropped their hands.

Before Audrey could even process what was happening, she was pulled into a warm, familiar embrace.

Arthur's brain finally caught up. Joaquin hadn't stepped in to hurt Audrey on Rainey's behalf—he was protecting her! His face darkened. "Joaquin, what are you doing?"

"Mr. Sinclair, who gave you the nerve to lay a hand on my wife in public?"

Joaquin held Audrey firmly, his posture an undeniable declaration of ownership and protection.

"Even if she committed the most heinous crime imaginable, it is not your place to order a hit on her. You told them to ruin her face—do I mean absolutely nothing to you?"

Tucked against his chest, Audrey looked up in shock, tracing the sharp lines of his jaw. Just seconds ago, when the guards grabbed her, she thought she was completely doomed. She never expected Joaquin to actually defend her...
