It€s all about protecting her. Mackenzie. At all costs.
That€s what Cole tells himself when he installs a camera in her bedroom. That€s what he tells himself when he finds out she€d cheated on her SATs and he decides to blackmail her to move out of her new mansion. That€s what he tells himself when he watches as she touches herself, and moans out his name.
But it€s more than just protecting her. So much more.
