Her Ex-husband Is A God Of War

6

—---At the Daryl's restaurant---

Charles can't believe he agreed to this ridiculous thing. He is putting on a brand designed cloth that is worth millions of dollars and chewing gum like a total playboy.

His job was simple—at least that was what the owner of the Tyrell Williams group said.

The man had a daughter but the daughter had been going on a date with a very ruthless man of the underworld whose only mission was to bring the family business down.

Now where did he fit in the drama?

He just had to flirt with the man's daughter and rescue the clueless daughter from the ruthless man. Any man could have played this part but according to the owner of the Tyrell Williams group, the other men who had tried it in the past few months disappeared all of a sudden.

As Charles entered the restaurant, he switched his walking step to one with some swag. Not difficult, really. He was a playboy before he got married to Emmy.

He chewed recklessly on the bubble gum in his mouth as he approached the table where the daughter of the Tyler Williams group was.

He sit across her without asking for permission.

“Excuse me, I'm not here alone,” the lady said.

“I'd have fainted if you told me a beauty goddess like you came alone,” Charles chewed more on the bubble gum.

“I'll appreciate it if you leave.”

Charles didn't anything.

He stared at her. With his earrings and long chains, he was sure the stare would work on her. Why? It had always turned on the female he approached.

“What? Why are you staring at me?” Sure enough, she blushed.

“I was trying to come up with a clever line, but your smile stole all my words,” Charles used one of his favorite flirting lines.

She cleared her throat, more blushes. “I have a boyfriend.”

He pretended to sulk, using his baby face expression. Ones that had fooled a lot of enemies into thinking he was harmless. “My love for you is like diarrhoea, I can't hold it in.”

Her eye widened. “Stop…” she protested weakly. Too weak. He was getting her already.

“I was going to offer you a drink, but you already look like the sweetest thing here.”

“I have a boyfriend.” Charles could notice her fighting to keep a straight face now.

He deliberately lowered his voice for effect. “Damsel, I don’t believe in fate, but I’m pretty sure meeting you was meant to happen.”

She cleared her throat and glanced around. “You can sit here just until my boyfriend comes.”

Fair deal. He came here to deal with her boyfriend anyway and he was damn sure sitting here would get the man pissed off by the time he appeared.

“Lainey,” she said.

“Charles.”

She extended her hand for an handshake.

Dramatically, Charles clutched his chest. “My heart just ceased.” Gently, he held her hand and kissed her knuckles gently.

He noticed a movement with the corner of his eyes. He was alert. Her boyfriend had entered now. He saw the panic on her face.

Gently, he let go of her hand.

A hand yanked him out of the chair, turned him around right into the face of a scary looking hefty man.

“Know your place, Mister, she is already taken,” a man said from the door.

Charles looked in the direction of the man. Here comes Lainey's boyfriend.

“I'm going to let you go today because you seem like a spoilt kid who is used to having what he wants,” Lainey's boyfriend said.

“You know me well, man,” Charles said. With just a slight push, the man in front of him lost balance and crashed into a table. He isn't called the god of war for nothing.

Charles strode to Lainey's boyfriend. “How could you know me so well when I'm meeting you for the first time?” He sent a punch into another hefty man on his way.

Unexpectedly, the man let out a loud scream as he flew across the room before crashing into the wall.

With an innocent smile on his face, Charles walked closer to Lainey's boyfriend. There was only one bodyguard left now.

“Deal with him,” Lainey's boyfriend barked at the remaining one bodyguard.

“Yes, sir!” The bodyguard shouted. With full force, he plunged at Charles.

Charles does nothing more than dodge slightly.

The bodyguard crashed into a table like the first one, this time, a table knife pierced into the man's chest as his weight destroyed the table.

Charles walked closer to Lainey's boyfriend as if nothing was happening.

“What do you think?” He asked. “I can't have her?”

Lainey's boyfriend took a step backward, his eyes widening as he looked at his men on the floor.

“Say something, man,” Charles said. He took two more steps.

All of a sudden, Lainey's boyfriend aimed a punch at Aiden. His men must have been too lazy, he thought. This innocent dude in front of him cannot harm anymore.

But he was wrong. A yelp escaped his throat. “Let me go, please!” He couldn't believe his desperate plea.
