Mia turned to look at the approaching naked man. Her situation was already as weird as it was, and seeing a man walking towards her without clothes made everything even stranger.
As soon as the man got close enough, one of her guards, those who joined the fight against her, who clearly were not her real guards, gave something to the man to cover himself, with a deferential and servile look in his eyes.
It was at that moment that she became able to give a closer look at the man, and when she did, her heart started beating faster, much faster than it beat in the middle of the earlier fight.
She recognized him; she understood the reason why the guards were so servile towards the man.
Terrifying, that was how Erik Romano appeared to her at that moment. It might have been because of how he carried himself; it could be because of his muscular body or for the look he had in his eyes, but that wasn't the reason. It was because this man exuded power in every move he made.
