HIS FIRST MEAL FOR HER
"You should have died a year ago."The moment those words reached Ethan’s ears, something inside him stilled completely.The warmth and quiet comfort that had settled inside the room moments earlier disappeared almost instantly as his expression changed in a way Scarlett had never seen before, the softness in his eyes fading into something colder, sharper and dangerously alert."Who is this?" Ethan’s voice came out lower this time, no longer calm, but carrying a faint edge that made even Scarlett straighten slightly beside him.Silence answered him for a brief second.Then, a laugh echoed faintly from the other side of the call.Not loud or mocking, but strange enough to make Ethan’s eyes narrow further."Relax," the man spoke casually afterward, his tone suddenly lighter as if nothing serious had been said moments earlier. "I was only joking. No need to look so tense, Mr. Shadow Tyrant."The title alone made the atmosphere inside the room shift subtly.Scarlett didn’t miss it.Not th
WHO IS THIS?
"You’re injured," Scarlett said quietly as her gaze settled on the faint traces of blood staining Ethan’s shoulder beneath the torn fabric of his shirt. "And before you try pretending otherwise, I already noticed it back at the banquet hall." Ethan glanced down briefly before letting out a soft sigh, knowing there was little point denying it now, especially when Scarlett was looking at him with that unwavering focus that rarely missed anything concerning him."It’s nothing serious," he replied calmly. "Just a scratch."Scarlett raised a brow immediately."You fought armed assassins with your bare hands," she retorted softly while stepping closer toward him. "At least let me decide what counts as serious." Ethan looked at her for a brief moment before finally giving in, because for years none noticed his pain or sufferings, he was all alone in everything, for the first time someone noticing everything without him even telling and that made him to give in infront of her.Without anoth
WE SHOULD LEAVE
"Have we met before?"General Adrian Hawke’s calm voice settled heavily across the banquet hall, his sharp eyes still fixed entirely on Ethan as if trying to pull a forgotten memory from somewhere deep within his mind, while the damaged hall around them remained unnaturally silent after the chaos that had unfolded moments earlier.No one spoke.Not the guests.... Not the officers.... Not even the Carvendish family.Because the question itself carried weight.A man like General Hawke did not casually ask such things.Scarlett’s gaze shifted immediately toward Ethan, her expression subtle, yet attentive enough to catch the almost invisible stillness that passed through him for a fraction of a second.Only a fraction.But it existed, and she noticed.Ethan’s eyes met the general’s calmly, though beneath that calmness, the Dragon Ring around his finger pulsed faintly once again, the lingering warmth brushing against his skin like a warning that refused to disappear.For a brief moment, so
HE WAS INVITED TONIGHT?
"Looks like this night has begun just now!" Ethan’s low voice blended into the heavy silence that had settled across the banquet hall after the sniper’s death, his gaze still fixed on the shattered glass windows overlooking the city while the faint warmth from the Dragon Ring lingered against his finger like a warning that refused to disappear completely.The once elegant banquet hall no longer resembled the prestigious gathering it had been earlier.Broken glass covered the marble floor and blood stains spread across overturned tables.Fragments of shattered chandeliers glittered beneath the dim emergency lights while terrified whispers moved through the remaining guests like an invisible wave.The atmosphere was no longer one of wealth and influence.It was fear.... Pure fear.Emergency response teams moved quickly through the hall, sealing off exits, questioning witnesses, collecting weapons from the dead assassins, and securing every corner of the building with ruthless efficienc
WHO SENT YOU?
"Ethan What’s wrong?" Mr. Rodriguez’s confused voice had barely left his mouth before everything changed.The gunshot exploded through the banquet hall like thunder.For a brief fraction of a second, time itself seemed to slow unnaturally as the massive glass window overlooking the city skyline shattered violently, fragments bursting inward like a storm of crystal while the sniper bullet tore through the exact space where Mr. Rodriguez’s head had been moments earlier.The sharp whistle of the projectile cut through the air.The bullet passed so close that several strands of the investor’s hair moved with the force of it.Then, as an impact of that, the marble wall behind them exploded outward.Silence lasted less than a heartbeat, and then chaos erupted.Screams echoed across the hall as guests stumbled backward in panic, chairs overturned violently, glasses shattered against the floor, and the elegant atmosphere of the banquet collapsed instantly into terror.Mr. Rodriguez remained
I'll HANDLE YOU LATER
"Don’t wander off tonight, my dear husband… I’d hate for anyone to forget you’re mine."Scarlett’s voice carried a faint teasing warmth as she stepped out of the car, her hand naturally slipping around Ethan’s arm as if it had always belonged there, her presence elegant and composed while the grand entrance of the private banquet shimmered under golden lights. The entire venue radiating wealth, power, and influence that only a handful of people in the city could command.Ethan glanced at her briefly, his expression calm, though the slight tightening of his posture betrayed the unfamiliar attention he was receiving, because unlike Scarlett, who moved effortlessly within such circles, he was still adjusting to standing beside her not as an outsider, but as someone who belonged."I believe I’ve already proven I can handle myself," he replied quietly, his tone steady yet carrying a hint of dry amusement.Scarlett smiled faintly."We will see," she murmured before guiding him inside.The
