Seeing her stunned silence, Bella leaned in a little closer.
"What, did Gideon really never mention it to you?"
Seraphina bit her lip and shook her head.
"No."
Bella's smile turned deeply suggestive.
"Well, then he really is a man of few words. Doing all of that behind the scenes and not even telling the woman it was meant for."
She linked her arm through Seraphina's, beaming. "But things are different now. Forget Northport, everyone in the elite circles across the entire capital knows that Seraphina Sinclair is the woman Gideon Cole swore to protect for life."
Heat crept up Seraphina's neck, and her heart unconsciously skipped a beat.
She quickly cleared her throat.
"Alright, Bella, that's enough teasing for one day."
"I'm not teasing!"
"Stop it!"
Feeling entirely too flustered, Seraphina spun around and broke into a light jog.
"Come on, let's go. If we don't start running, we'll never finish our workout for the day."
Suppressing a laugh, Bella hurried to catch up.
"Slow down! Wait for me!"
The two women jogged along the lakeside path, their bright laughter drifting through the evening breeze.
Not too far behind, Dominic followed in absolute silence.
He had heard every word Bella just said.
The person he intends to protect for the rest of his life.
Gideon had actually made that kind of vow to Seraphina in front of his entire family.
Dominic's jaw clenched, a suffocating wave of despair crushing his chest.
He had assumed Gideon was merely going through a fleeting phase of interest, but he never realized the man was already this dangerously committed.
He stared at Seraphina's retreating figure.
