It’s hard to believe
August let himself be pulled over by Caroline, and she forced him to sit in the chair with both hands pressing on his shoulder before he walked up to bring the dryer.He kept staring at her through the wall mirror before him but didn’t say anything. This was the first time she was helping him dry his hair, so he wanted to savor the moment and do well to not piss her off any further.Soon she came back up with the dryer and plugged it into the wall socket. She grabbed the handle properly and used the switch to control the temperature of the air. When she had made sure it was warm and just at the required rate, she took it to his hair and began the drying process.She could feel him staring at her through the window but didn’t let it distract her. She was also curious to hear what he would say when she started questioning him. At some point, she didn’t want to believe he cheated on her, but how could she explain the voice she heard?“It’s done. Now, grab some clothes.” She pulled away
Get some sleep
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
Draco’s rage
Bang! Crack! Bang!Everyone began to hurt themselves. Some broke their nose, some a finger, while some broke their teeth. Overall, they made sure they had multiple injuries on their bodies to make it look like they had engaged in the fight to save Liam but ended up being beaten up too.By now their eyes were swollen. Even Jones wasn’t left out. He was in so much pain, but it was better to endure all this than face Draco’s wrath when he arrived here.A thought popped into his head and he turned to Silas again. Pain was evident in his eyes and voice, but it didn’t matter yet. “Crop their photos from that footage. We can’t show Draco the footage or else it’s the same as giving ourselves away.” He ordered quickly.“Yes, boss.” Silas winced as he took the laptop and began to edit the footage to get images of August, David, and Shadow. While he was on this, the others were sprawled on the floor holding a leg or hand trying to endure the pain until Draco came.After what felt like an et
Cook up story
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
The weak always bows to the strong
Everyone looked at the door. Under their astonished gaze, August walked in along with shadow following behind him closely. He didn’t need to ask questions as he had already heard what was going on. His senses had been heightened so of course it was effortless for him.He knew David alone was enough to handle the situation but regardless, he had to be here since it was concerning his wife. Someone dared to say they wanted her for the night? It seemed they were courting death.“Another bum has shown up?” Liam raised a brow as he sized August up and then shifted his gaze to Shadow. They might be having a terrifying glint in their eyes but then, his brother was Draco. It should be ridiculous for him to fear anybody.August didn’t say anything but walked majestically towards David. He looked at Caroline and saw how miserably drunk she was, all because of him. He felt like smacking his head on the wall. He should take responsibility for this.He wouldn’t blame her for endangering herself
Leave that woman to me
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
Getting drunk in misery
Inside Lavender bar. Caroline sat down beside the counter. Her eyes looked swollen, and it seemed she had been crying for a while, drowning in misery. She couldn't help it. She was the jealous type and now that she knew August was the same man she had always loved, her feelings for him had been skyrocketing.But now it seemed everything was back to haunt her. It seemed how she treated him all those while he was a cripple, perhaps now was payback time. Even though she felt she had no right to complain as he had helped her so much, and saved her life but still, they were married and such a thing should never happen.Throughout the years, she had kept herself pure and never bed a man just because she was waiting for the right person. August seemed to be it but before things could go far, he cheated on her.The more the realization sank in, the more tears flowed down her cheek.“Hey miss, do you want a shot?” The bartender came over after seeing her sitting for a while. He noticed her
Injecting his Qi
“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
Black eye
Two hours later, August arrived at Apex Corporation but all along, his mind had been swirling with the thought of Caroline. How does he get her to believe he had nothing to do with Freya nor was he in a hotel room with her earlier? He had been the captain of dragon regiment for years and solved different issues, yet this one felt like the hardest among all.Perhaps it might be because he was more efficient and focused in battles and there hadn't been a situation where he fell in love until now. So, he didn't fully understand it all.Sighing, he drove into the parking lot before hopping down. He looked at the entrance of his company while using his hand to brush his hair to the front.He began to ponder in his head for a little while. Then he felt the urge to call Caroline again but remembering how David told him to wait, he could only brush the feeling off for the meantime.He looked at the entrance again and this time, he walked into it. The place was still bustling with people, jus
