Chapter 8

Witnessing Marcus neutralize over eight muscular, substantially larger adversaries proved genuinely astonishing. The bald operative experienced overwhelming dread. His entire existence had proceeded without defeat, and he’d never envisioned someone of Marcus’s stature could overpower his entire unit so effortlessly.

Desperation consumed him regarding Marcus’s genuine identity and capabilities.

“Fascinating,” Victoria murmured softly.

Her expression brightened with intrigue, and a subtle grin materialized across her features. She discreetly repositioned the firearm concealed within her accessories. Initially, she’d anticipated Marcus would experience difficulty confronting such formidable opposition. Yet he’d dispatched them with remarkable ease, demonstrating superior proficiency compared to her elite-trained protective detail.

“Such an impressive, attractive man,” she contemplated internally, exercising restraint from vocalization. She simultaneously recalled her matrimonial pledge contingent upon his successful paternal revival.

“Cease! Withdraw!” the bald operative pleaded as Marcus approached progressively. “Maintain distance! I’ll guarantee your suffering…”

Before completion materialized, Marcus’s fist connected with his abdominal region. The operative regurgitated blood, collapsing onto his haunches, his physiology trembling with weakness. Now he occupied the identical submissive posture he’d previously demanded from them.

“He’s defenseless before you, princess. What shall I execute regarding him?”

Marcus retreated, permitting Victoria dominance.

“Observe this specimen,” Victoria sneered dismissively, her attention unwavering. “Disclose your superior’s identity.”

Apprehension consumed the operative’s physiognomy. Perspiration descended his forehead. Uncertainty paralyzed him.

“Continued silence?” Victoria smirked, descending to retrieve a discarded blade. She positioned the edge against his jugular. “Communicate or perish!” She elevated her appendage, positioning for potential execution.

Instantaneously, the operative succumbed to terror. “Mercy! Mercy! Complete disclosure commences immediately! Sophie orchestrated this. She recognized you both departing the medical facility and, ”

Victoria rotated toward Marcus. “Darling, approach and hear his confession!” Her vocalizations elevated substantially in pitch.

Marcus simply smirked. “I anticipated this precisely,” he articulated. “Immediately upon transportation entry, I experienced negative intuition.”

“Why didn’t you communicate this? Why didn’t you preempt our departure?”

“I preferred confirmation preceding assumption, avoiding misinterpretation,” Marcus responded with composed expression.

Addressing the operative, he stated coldly. “Return and communicate to Sophie that I’ll remember this transgression. Eventually, I’ll personally address her. Disappear from my immediate vicinity.”

The operative and his supposedly incapacitated companions abruptly mobilized vertically and sprinted desperately, abandoning their automobiles behind them. Unmistakable terror propelled their chaotic evacuation.

“Sweetheart, demonstrate greater circumspection subsequently. Acknowledge your instinctual sensations. I recommend perpetual protective accompaniment,” Victoria suggested cautiously.

Marcus demonstrated admiration. “We haven’t formalized our relationship yet, and you’re already utilizing intimate terminology?”

Her complexion flushed crimson.

“What repercussions will you inflict upon that unstable woman, Sophie?”

Marcus’s mouth curved slightly. “Permit me addressing that matter. Remain unburdened.”

She positioned herself against his torso, embracing him securely. “Love, you’ve already provided excessive assistance. I’m genuinely uncertain regarding adequate reciprocation,” Victoria expressed delicately, batting her eyelids while tracing her appendages along her midriff in alluring fashion.

“Compensation mechanisms aren’t imperative,” he replied with detachment.

“Negative, we’ve incurred substantial obligation. Reciprocation remains mandatory!”

Following this articulation, Victoria manifested a seductive expression, slowly rotating her corporeal form with deliberate, languorous motion.

“Shall I commence reciprocation utilizing my captivating physique before matrimonial discussions materialize?”

Marcus’s physiological response became apparent, his ocular focus intensifying. “Genuinely?”

“Absolutely serious.”
