She held herburning cheek, and her eyes, which had been filled with drowsinessearlier, were now filled with shock and fear.“Lord… Lord Caspian?” she asked, her voice was trembling.“Bitch, do you recognize me now?” Caspian said, glaring at Dakota.“Do you know that you just hit me on the head with a wine bottle? How do you suggest we settle this?”“What?” Dakota was startled.It was only now that she vaguely remembered feeling someonetouching her inappropriately earlier, and in her inebriated state, she had instinctively grabbed something from the table and threw it.

She lookedat Caspian with fear evident in her eyes. She knew that he had umotives.“Of course,” Caspian responded with a wicked grin.“I’ve always had an eye for beauty. Here’s the deal.

What do you mean? I’ve developed an interest in you, so you should feel honored Don’t be so ungrateful!” Caspian’s demeanorturned menacing again.“Lord Caspian, please spare me.

She didn’t want Cameronto get hurt.“Why are you still so concerned about him at a time like this? Besides, isn’t he just full of himself? What’s the use of being timid now? If hetruly cares about you, he’ll step up and figure out a way to help you!”Madison added, trying to provoke Dakota into calling Cameron.“Forget it, Madison. This has nothing to do with him.”“Forget it? How can you give up now? If you won’t call him, I will!” Madison disregarded Dakota’s objections and dialed Cameron’snumber.
