"Did Vic really try to kill you?"** **Martin always had complete trust in Zoe. So, when he posed the question, Zoe's eyes quivered.

You can unleash all your wild antics there," Gray suggested, attempting to gently nudge her aside.But Victoria was strong, and he ended up getting pinned on the wall again.'Just how strong this woman is?' he thought with a sigh."I drank the… juice because I knew you wouldn't spike it.
