By now, he was no longer angry.
Listening to his command, Maya nodded desperately, trying hard to control her tears, yet she couldn't manage it. As she felt her tears refuse to stop, she cried even harder, shaking her head as if explaining to him that she wasn't crying on purpose.

Feeling her tremble, Liam held her waist with both hands, causing the girl to shudder again, fearing his intensity, she quickly shook her head, signaling no.
