Chapter 7
Raine opened her mouth to answer, but Bruno simply gave the hotel manager a cold glance and issued a detached order.
“Cancel the wedding. I’ll cover all the costs.” Before he finished, he pointed at his assistant, who had rushed over. “You handle the rest.”
As Bruno turned to leave, Raine panicked. She didn’t care about anything else and quickly grabbed his arm, her pleading eyes almost on the verge of tears.
