Burn Me Once Burn With Me (Ruby Grayson) novel Chapter 653

*Crash—*

The heavy oak door was violently pushed open from the outside.

Ruby's gaze shot into the room, instantly landing on Cassian as he pinned Garrison to the wall by his throat.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

Furious flames erupted in her eyes. She lunged forward, slapping Cassian's arm away with all her strength and dragging Garrison behind her defensively.

Cassian stepped back, seemingly startled by her sudden, vicious shout. He stood frozen by the wall, staring at Ruby with a mixture of profound shock and crushing disappointment. "Ruby..."

"Shut your mouth!"

Ruby barked, completely cutting him off as she immediately turned to inspect Garrison's neck.

Her chest heaved with terror and regret.

Garrison had come to the mansion specifically for her. If anything happened to him under this roof, she would never forgive herself.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"

She frowned deeply, her fingers gently brushing against the violent red marks blooming on his skin. Her heart lurched, and her expression turned fiercely serious.

From the moment she burst into the room, save for that initial glare, all of her attention and care had been poured entirely onto Garrison.

Cassian stood completely still, his heart plunging into an endless abyss.

He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. His eyes emptied of life, drifting from Ruby's panicked face to Garrison's. The moment he made eye contact with the other man, his gaze turned dangerously dark.

Garrison's calm eyes lingered on Ruby's pale fingers tracing his skin. He shook his head, his eyelashes fluttering slightly. "Ruby, it was my fault. I said some things that easily provoked him."
