“Huh? Can’t you be a gentleman and ask nicely? You have been rude to me since we met. Do you know how many men have been dying to drive me in their car? Just a phone call and fifty will line up here!” Freya was pissed by how cold he always was towards her.He was making her doubt if she was beautiful. Or was he out to infuriate her and make her feel she was at her lowest? She couldn’t let him keep stepping on her like she was a mere bug. She had to put him in his place and let him know what he was missing out on.“Why do you sound like you are a public property?” August raised a brow at her. “Fifty men? Hmph! So what? I am married. You should know your boundaries.” He added.His words had a profound meaning that made her freeze for a while regretting why she had used such a term. After a while, she reckoned she couldn’t take back what she said so she could only make a comeback on him.“At least I do know I’m prettier than your wife.” She huffed and looked away as she crossed her ar

“I…” Shadow was about to say something when August spoke again.“If you want to work for me, you have to be transparent with me. And you should know that if by any chance, you betray me, I shall hunt you down and kill you.” Shadow shivered as these words didn't only sound like a threat, it also made him start having daymare in his head where August hunted him down and killed him in the worst way ever.“I won't lie to you. A few days ago, a man came to us offering valerian root with the proposal of helping him kill you so we can get a sum of two million dollars. Also, Richard offered a million to help take you down, and adding to that, we could have gotten three million.“We were blinded by greed and since we would be killing two birds with one stone, we saw it as a good opportunity,” Shadow said nervously making sure to avoid contact. He felt embarrassed since he had to reveal things to his former target.“I see,” August said while staring at him. He could tell Shadow was telling th

The tension immediately skyrocketed, turning hot and as though time had frozen. He was willing to pay double? And the reason was that he wanted to stop Caroline from drinking. Already she had consumed four bottles. To stop her, he wanted to buy all, so the bartender would have none to sell to her. Since he couldn't stop her directly, he would stop her indirectly.Already Caroline was tipsy. She laid her head on the counter, and yet, she was still asking for more drinks.“So will you sell it or not?” David asked staring at the frozen man.“And what do you plan to do? Impress a lady or what?” Suddenly, a man clad in designer casually walked towards them. He had a lean build, tall with a confident posture, and had a strong jawline with smooth skin. His hair is styled in a way that suits his taste, and his eyes sparkle with energy and curiosity.“What are you trying to prove by buying all these drinks?” He asked again, raising a brow at David. He had noticed Caroline for a long time an

While Caroline was tucked in his arms, he walked out while David and Shadow followed him. The bartender had wanted to remind David about the entire drink he had wanted to buy but after what happened, he didn’t dare utter even a single word.All he could do was gulp down hard and his body kept shivering. Not just him but even the customers around were so scared that it felt like they were having their worst nightmare even as they weren’t asleep yet.They were supposed to be drinking but watching such a scene made them lose their taste. The place had become a crime scene and the faster they left this place, the better for them. The place had become a crime scene and what’s worse, by the time Draco came here to find his brother dead, he wouldn’t spare anyone.“We have to leave at once. We can’t take the blame for something we didn’t do.”“And who were those people? How could they be so terrifying? Did they just break his limbs there and leave like nothing happened? Aren’t they afraid of

Meanwhile, August who left the bar arrived home safely. Shadow followed him since he was now responsible for protecting Caroline. As for David, he had other things to do so he left. He couldn’t even be worried about August because as it was now, he was far stronger than him.So whoever this Draco was, or the Zhou clan, or the council, Geoffrey or Python, wherever they were or whenever they decided to act, regardless of the tactics they used, August was still going to win. He was sure of it. Besides, he was here too so if August needed his help, he would come running to him.After all, several times had he saved David’s life so paying back the favor was something he could keep doing as long as the as he was still alive.Having arrived home, August took Caroline straight to her room and changed her clothes after washing her up. She threw up a few times in the car and stained her clothes. After he was done, he tucked her under the sheet and watched how peaceful she was sleeping.Howe
