Draco’s visit
Panic began to rise in Caroline’s chest. She didn’t know whose voice it was, but it was not her mom's. The anger and hostility in it sounded as though he was ready to kill someone. She could describe him as a bloodthirsty person only by the few words he said. Shadow looked at her. He could easily guess that it must have something to do with the incident that happened in the bar. It was just a hunch but who knows, it might be true after all.The call was hung up after those few words were said. At this moment, Caroline couldn’t even think about dialing the number again. What was echoing in her head was for her to go to the villa and make sure Rachel was safe. If something were to happen to her, how would she be able to handle it?“Drive to the Winston villa instead.” Fear was written on her face as she said to shadow while walking to the other side of the car.He looked at her and given how urgent the situation was, he didn’t have an opportunity to inform August about what was going
Going back to work
Both of them slept right afterward in his room. Caroline was cuddled all through until the morning. She felt warm and loved, and he also made her feel she had worth. Though it was still difficult to believe Rachel wasn’t her mom, it was the sad truth she had to accept, but first, she was going to confirm it from her.Her mind was made up. Those were the words she told herself before she was able to sleep soundly.“Good morning Caroline.” August woke up and pressed a kiss to her cheek. He noticed she was awake as her both eyes were open, but she didn’t pull away from his arms.“Good morning.” Her face flushed, and immediately she pulled away and jumped off the bed. She was someone who had never slept in a man's arms before so this time, as she wasn’t used to it, it made her very shy.“I’ll go to my room now.” Her eyes began to roll around, avoiding his gaze, before she turned and walked out. Seeing this, August smiled. He felt a warmth in his heart that she was able to accept the tru
I hate to break it down to you
Caroline sat down just as he instructed. Curiosity brewing inside her as she looked at him, waiting for what he would say.“Four years ago, I went on an undercover mission to deal some gangsters, corrupt politicians, human traffickers, and also drug lords. I destroyed their shady business and had them arrested.“However these people planned against me. They merged themselves and went by the name ‘the council’. They drugged me after I was exhausted from battle and used the medium to try to kill me, but I survived.”He paused, and a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. Caroline's jaws dropped, she didn’t know he had gone through such a thing. Now she had heard the story behind why he became a cripple when he used to be a very formidable man to be feared by many.“My legs were broken while my body was injured badly, and also I lost everything. I became pitiful in their eyes. They took everything from me and left me with nothing, thinking I would never rise again. They thought my fate woul
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
