Chapter 394
Chapter 394 Who Holds More Power–David or Cameron?
Finished
“That’s right.” Caroline nodded, her tone light. “I have to give you credit, Mr. Ellison. I hid it so well, yet you still managed to see through me.”
David’s gaze was cold. “Enough with the sarcasm. Cameron isn’t someone you should waste your energy on.
Caroline didn’t argue.
To her, even entertaining this conversation felt like an insult to Cameron. A man like him–elegant, restrained, nearly flawless–shouldn’t be caught up in meaningless speculation.
He was untouchable, someone to admire but never reach.
Besides, he was her client. Their relationship was purely professional.
Still, a thought crossed her mind.
If Cameron and David ever stood against each other, who would win?
David, or the legendary Cameron of Albaros?
It would be an interesting matchup. Both of them were powerful, and influential–two men who could shift the tides of entire industries.
But why would they even be in opposition? They weren’t enemies. They were business partners. Their interests aligned. Standing together made them untouchable. Falling apart would be reckless.
And the idea that
they’d fight over me? What was I even thinking?
She shook her head, amused by her own ridiculous thoughts.
She was getting ahead of herself. At the realization, Caroline chuckled softly.
“What’s so funny?” David reached out, catching her chin between his fingers, forcing her to look at him. “Hmm?”
“I just think you’re a little on edge.” She smirked, pressing a finger against his chest. “David, if you’re going to be jealous, at least pick something more realistic.” Her tone was teasing. “Cameron and I? We’re from entirely different worlds. That would never happen.”
David’s expression remained unreadable. “I’m glad you understand that.”
She gave a light shrug. “If I have one thing going for me, it’s knowing my place.”
Even if she weren’t married. Even if she weren’t carrying twins. Even if she were a legitimate Brooks family heiress, reaching Cameron’s level would still be impossible.
David exhaled, voice quieter. “I just don’t want anyone trying to take you from me.”
Her heart gave an unexpected jolt.
Did he really believe I was that captivating? That even someone
like Cameron–distant, untouchable—would be drawn
to me?

only been provoking him. Surely, David knew that.
Silence stretched between them.
David knew he was overreacting, but he couldn’t help it.
Every little shift in her behavior, every minor change in her focus, unsettled him.
He wanted to keep her close. Keep her in his sight. Keep her from slipping away,
He had always believed Caroline was special.
And the thought of someone else realizing it–seeing what he saw–was unbearable.
Even though he knew Cameron was not a threat, the unease never left him.
To David, every man near Caroline was a rival.
Caroline turned to check the time. It was already past eleven.
“Let’s sleep.” She adjusted her blanket, her voice steady. “Goodnight.”

Before David could respond, she turned off the bedside lamp, quietly creating distance between them.
Tonight had to pass peacefully. If David tried to force himself on her again…
Her mind immediately went to the knife beneath her pillow.
Then, she heard the faint rustling of sheets.
Her breath hitched slightly.
But David did nothing.
