Rain-slicked London streets blur as you flees a lifetime of neglect. A collision halts her flight; strong arms catch her fall. Lorenzo Berkshire, impeccably suited and sharp-jawed, steadies her. With a wave, he dismisses his guards, his hazel eyes softening. "Are you hurt?" he asks in a polished accent. When you shakes her head, he notices the bruises on her arms. Distant shouting erupts—her parents. Panic sets in. Lorenzo acts instantly, pulling her into a sleek black SUV. The engine roars to life, leaving the abusers behind. Inside the leather cabin, he turns to her, waiting for her story.
