Tara closed her eyes in an attempt to calm herself before saying with restraint, "Mr. Wanskin, could you kindly please take your hands off my shoulders?"
She did not hear any reply behind her, but a few seconds later she felt hot breath near her ear as Frank whispered so only the two of them could hear.
"No. Today is our day. You and me getting engaged, and then in a few months you will finally be fully mine."
He said it with victory in his tone as he looked forward to where Cain was sitting opposite Tara.
Everyone could see what message Frank was trying to relay to Cain, but Cain showed no reaction. He kept his face blank, and nobody knew what he was thinking.
