章 152: War

Beatrix could feel the anger boiling inside her. She had always known that her engagement to Damien was only because her father was blackmailed and they all never wanted this union but she had never thought her father would stoop so low as to forcibly take her away once it didn't benefit him anymore . 

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Dad, you can't just barge in here and take me away without my consent. I have a life here with Damien, and I'm not leaving it behind just because you're scared for my safety," Beatrix said firmly.

Her father's expression hardened. "This is not up for discussion, Beatrix. You're coming with us, and that's final."

Ares stepped in, trying to diffuse the tension. "Dad, I understand your concerns, but I'm sure that Damien is doing everything in his power to keep Beatrix safe. He has a team of highly skilled bodyguards who are constantly watching over her, and she's never alone."
