The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Hannah found herself unsettled by the recurrent mention of the firearm.

She raised her eyes, bestowing upon Melina a nonchalant gaze, her response restrained.

“In times of exception, exceptional measures become imperative.

”

Bryson’s voice resonated with calm assurance.

“I discern no fault in Miss Moore’s course of action.

”

Hannah was taken aback by Bryson’s unexpected support in this instance.

She looked at him in surprise.

Bryson’s eyes remained impassive as he directed his attention to Melina, asserting, “In such a situation, self-preservation is the only recourse.

”

Melina, having bitten her lip and momentarily averted her eyes, ultimately embraced a smile, articulating her concurrence after a brief pause.

“Bryson speaks the truth.

I’ve previously been safeguarded by vigilant bodyguards and never confronted such a circumstance.

Hannah, please, do not let my words weigh upon you.

”

Only then did Hannah divert her gaze from Bryson, lowering her eyes to reply with an understated assurance.

“I don’t mind.

”

Following the dinner, Grace, her appetite satiated, insisted that Hannah accompany her for a seaside stroll.

The area had been meticulously secured under Bryson’s men’s watchful eye, allowing Hannah to lower her guard considerably.

Extending her hand to clasp Grace’s, Hannah turned to Bryson and conveyed, “I shall accompany Miss Mitchell for a leisurely stroll by the beach.

Mr.

Mitchell, please feel free to continue with your work.

Once they departed from the hotel’s embrace, Grace, akin to a bird unburdened by gravity, eagerly pulled Hannah along, their destination the beckoning shore.

Grace, embracing spontaneity, unstrapped her platform shoes and carried them by the straps.

She spread her arms wide, stepping onto the soft, damp sand, her countenance aglow with effervescent delight.

“Hannah, it’s been so long since I’ve felt this joyous!”

Grace’s gently curled tresses cascaded over her shoulders as she looked up at Hannah, radiating an adorable and luminous charm.

“As long as your heart is filled with happiness, this journey here holds its worth,” Hannah responded with a warm smile and fished out her phone to capture moments of Grace’s elation.

After a while, Grace subconsciously touched her shoulders, showing signs of her potential discomfort.

“The seaside can be rather chilly at night.

Shall we return?” Hannah suggested.

“But I’d like to stay a little longer and play,” Grace playfully implored Hannah.

“Could you accompany me a bit further?”

“Alright, then, but first, come back with me to change into something warmer.

”

Pouting and casting a mildly aggrieved glance, Grace lightly shook Hannah’s sleeve.
