The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 894

Chapter 894
“Where is she?” he asked, his voice cold and tinged
with suppressed anger.
Emelyn shuddered involuntarily, not out of fear of Griffon, but out of guilt for causing Taya’s disappearance.
“She… jumped into the sea,” she replied. Griffon, tall and imposing, froze as if he had misheard her.
He looked at Emelyn in disbelief. “What did you say?”
On the other side of the shore, Herb pulled Taya to the beach with all his might. Taya choked on seawater and coughed incessantly as soon as she reached the shore.
Herb, exhausted from the effort, collapsed on the sand and gasped for air. After they both recovered, for a while, Herb sat up and turned to look at Taya.
“If you can’t run away. You should have asked me for help instead of jumping into the sea.”
If he hadn’t known how to swim, she would have drowned.
Taya covered her aching heart with her hand and didn’t look up. “You’re Emelyn’s friend. You wouldn’t help me…”
“Sister, if you don’t ask me, how do you know I won’t help?”
When she heard the word “sister,” Taya’s fingers twisted her clothes, and she suddenly stopped. She slowly raised her head and looked at Herb…
Under the moonlight, the man’s features were deep and clear. Although he was soaked through, it
didn’t affect his elegant demeanor.
Taya stared at his face and asked him, “Why do
3/3
you call me sister?”
Herb raised his eyebrows and leaned back on his hands. “It’s just a title, and besides, I’m only twenty years old. You can’t be younger than me.”
Although it was just a title, Taya felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if the person sitting on the beach was really her younger brother.
