Capítulo 457: The Trouble with Shaw - Part 2

KALLE

When Shaw pulled her through the back door into the Big House, he still didn't let go. Kalle's wrist was beginning to ache, but she needed to convince him that she wasn't trying to fight anymore, so she hurried after him and didn't fight as he led her, not up the stairs towards Gahrye and Elia's suite, but deeper on the ground floor, to his own office.

When they were inside, he whirled to the door and pulled a key out of his pocket, using it to lock the door from the inside so she couldn't get out.

Kalle swallowed while he wasn't looking at her, her heart beginning to race. But something told her not to push. She had to stay calm—keep him calm. But she prayed that no matter what the voices had done to him, he still cared about her enough not to hurt her before she could get back to Gahrye.

When the door clicked Shaw took a deep breath, then finally let go of her wrist.
