Access Denied, Love

Synopsis

It had been five years since I married Asher, and I had never once gotten through to his encrypted number. He was the CID's lead operative known as Drake Torch, and whenever he was on a mission, all comms went dark. Everything changed the day I was hit by his female student. The girl tapped her watch and said, "My teacher will take care of everything." A bulletproof car screeched to a halt. Asher leapt out and threw a riot shield around the girl. He rushed to check her injuries. He demanded, "Why didn't you follow the emergency protocol?" His voice was tinged with concern. In that instant, I understood—his life monitor had always been keyed to her, and her alone.
