“Oh…”

Cassia Wood’s head drooped slightly, and her thick bangs shadowed her eyes, making it impossible to read her expression.

Thinking back to how Aspen had behaved earlier, insisting he had something important to tell her, a cold, mocking smile curled on her lips.

Aside from Geneva, Aspen hadn’t really done anything bad to her. Compared to the others in the Wood family, he could almost be considered decent.

Not long ago, he’d even stood at her school gates clutching a plush doll, looking pitiful as he pleaded, “Give me a chance to be your brother.”

If it wasn’t for that, she wouldn’t have agreed to meet him today.

And now, this was how he repaid her?

Heh…

Did they really think that setting her up like this would make her accept the arrangement quietly? Did they think she was some brainless fool who wouldn’t fight back?

Just as the thought crossed Cassia’s mind, the door to the private room was pushed open. A short, scrawny man walked in.

The moment he entered, his eyes locked onto Cassia and stayed there.

That greasy, hungry look in his eyes was exactly like the men back in that backwater town. It made her feel sick.

Seeing the way he stared at her like a stárving animal, the cold smile on Cassia’s lips deepened.

“It’s exactly what you said. He really did set me up on a blind date.”

Hearing this, Draven’s nerves tightened instantly.

“Protect yourself.”

Cassia lightly spun the coffee cup in her hand, her gaze cold as she looked at Mike.

“You don’t have to come. I can-”

Before she could finish, her voice stopped abruptly. All Draven heard was the sharp sound of porcelain shattering on the floor.

Clang!

Draven’s heart jolted. He slammed his foot down on the gas.

“Kid!”

The word came out rough and urgent.

“I’m… I’m fine.”

Cassia answered out of habit, but her breathing was uneven and unsteady.

Draven pushed the car faster, the speed climbing past 100 mph as he raced through the streets toward the café.

“You promised me you wouldn’t lie to me again.”

His face darkened, his expression cold and intense like a storm about to break.

“Tell me! Are you okay or not?!”

Cassia frowned. Her skin burned, and sweat formed on her forehead.

But that was only the surface. The real problem was that her strength was fading little by little, and her thoughts were starting to blur as the heat spread through her body.

At first, she didn’t understand what was happening. But as her condition worsened, she realized she had been drugged.

She forced her unfocused eyes downward, staring at the broken pieces of the cup that had slipped from her hand.

The leftover coffee was splattered everywhere.

Who spiked my drink?

Aspen?

A bitter feeling rose in her chest.

Even though she had long stopped caring about the Woods, they were still related by blood.

She never imagined that he would do something like this to her!

“Cassia!”

Draven’s sharp voice pulled her back.

It was the first time he had ever called her by her name like that.

But now wasn’t the time to think about it.

Cassia looked at Mike, who was sitting across from her, rubbing his hands together. A strange smile appeared on her lips.

She had promised him she wouldn’t lie to him anymore.

That man’s face, as flawless as a sculpture, flashed through her mind.

The way he always spoke so softly to her, so refined and gentle…

The way his eyes turned red with worry when she was hurt…

The way he always stepped in front of her, protecting her from anyone who tried to insult or harm her…

:

For some reason, she really wanted to see him right now.

“Actually… something is wrong. Can you get here fast?”

Hearing this, Draven froze for a moment. Shock flashed across his face.

This was the same Cassia who brushed him off even when she had heatstroke, saying that “she had things to do.” The same Cassia who would rather lie than let him help. The same Cassia who kept everyone at a distance.

And now she was asking him to come quickly.

She was asking him for help. She needed him.

“Wait for me!” Draven said through clenched teeth, his eyes burning with determination.

“Okay.”

Cassia smiled faintly and ended the call.

She was used to handling everything on her own. It had become second nature. But now, hearing his voice, that steady and deep tone filled with concern…

For once, she felt like letting go of everything, even if only for a moment.

She set her phone down calmly, her gaze drifting to the shattered cup on the floor.
