Dawn didn’t mean to dig deeper. But the moment she asked, Anna’s eyes turned red. She clenched her fingers and whispered, ‘Dawn, I totally forgot. I used Leon’s card just now. What do <i>I </i>do? He’ll know I’m here. He might already be on his way.”
This Anna looked nothing like the confident woman from before. She was anxious. Restless. Full of fear.
So different it was shocking.
Dawn was shocked, but there was no time to exin. She spoke gently, trying to calm her. “He won’t get here that fast. He’s no! someone with nothing to do. And we have bodyguards with us. Nothing will happen.”
She was wrong. Dawn had underestimated him.
The moment they reached the car, a group of men in matching suits surrounded them.
Secondster, a tall man stepped forward from the crowd. He stood straight and calm, radiating a pressure that made it hard to breathe.
When he saw Anna, his lips curved slightly. “Anna,” he said softly. “It’s time toe home.”
Sweat burst out in Anna’s palms. She stepped back without thinking. “Leon, we’ve already broken up. Please stop interfering wi my life.”
‘Broken up?”
His eyes locked onto her. He took one step closer, and his presence spread like a shadow.
“A breakup only counts if both people agree. If I don’t agree, then you’re just throwing a tantrum.”
“You-”
Anna was about to speak, but Dawn pulled her behind her.
“Mr. Graves, don’t <i>you </i>think that’s a bit too controlling?”
Anna still had feelings for him, so she held back, but Dawn didn’t fear him. “A breakup is a one–sided decision,” Dawn said calmly “She doesn’t want to be with <i>you </i>anymore, so it’s over. Even if this went to court, no judge would object.”
In short, breaking up is not illegal.
“Ms. Porter.”
Leon narrowed his eyes. “This is between Anna and me. Are you sure you want to get involved?”
“If it were just a couple’s argument, I’d stay out of it,” Dawn replied. “But your behavior is clearly harming my friend’s mental and emotional well being. I can’t ignore that.”
“Mental and emotional well–being?”
Leon said the words slowly.
His gaze fell on Anna, like an X–ray scanner, carrying a coldness that made her want <b>to </b>disappear <b>in </b>shame. <b>“</b>Is being <b>by </b>my side

unbearable for you?”
Anna lowered her head. Sweat beaded along her forehead.
Dawn’s heart ached. Her voice grew firmer.
“Isn’t it obvious? Anna doesn’t want to see you. With your status, you can have any woman you want. Why force this?”
“Too bad,” Leon said tly. “The only one I want is Anna.”
He raised his hand slightly, like a general giving an order.
The bodyguards closed in at once, forming a tight circle. His voice was cold and clear. “Ms. Porter, think carefully. You have two people. I have eight. Either we both get hurt and I take her anyway, or you let me take her now. Your choice.”
“Are you threatening me?” Dawn asked.
“No,” Leon said. “I’m reminding you.”
“You-”
“Dawn.”
Anna suddenly grabbed Dawn’s hand from behind. Her hand was icy cold, the chill sinking deep into the bones.
“Forget it,” she said softly. Her voice sounded empty, like someone who had given up after too much despair.
She even smiled. “It looks like he can’t live without me. If that’s the case, there’s no point in running. No matter where I go, it wor change anything. Dawn, let’s stop here.”
“Anna!”
Dawn felt Anna <i>pull </i>free. Her eyes burned red.
This wasn’t normal. This felt <i>like </i>giving up on herself. How could she think nothing mattered anymore?
As Anna walked toward the ck Mercedes nearby, Dawn shouted urgently, “Wait!”
She wanted to catch her with Anna<i>, </i>but a long leg stepped in front of her, blocking the way.
“What are you trying to do, Ms. Porter?” Leon asked coldly.
“What do you think?<i>” </i>
Dawn met his gaze without backing down. “Leon, right? I don’t care how powerful you are. But Anna is my friend. I won’t leave her alone. Even if you dated her, that doesn’t give you the right to control her freedom.”
Leon pressed his lips together, looking like he might explode at any second.
“<i>Who </i><i>told </i>you I’m controlling her freedom?”
“You are–right now.”
Dawn’s eyes were steady. Years in business had taught her not to be scared by empty threats.

“If you weren’t trying to control her, why push her to go back with you? Her luggage is still at my ce. We just bought a lot of things, and they were sent to my home too. What? Can’t you wait for a few days? Or have you already booked a wedding?”
Leon’s eyelid twitched. He finally realized how hard this woman was to deal with.
And her background wasn’t simple. On top of that, Ethan stood behind her, someone even harder to handle.
