The following day Eva was waiting for Chris to drive her to work as usual but she received unexpected news from him.

“I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be able to drive you today.” Chris said with an apologetic expression on his face.

Eva was dumbfounded. “Huh!....Why? Is there something wrong?” she questioned, feeling very confused about why Chris made such a decision.

“No, it's just that I have some important things to take care of this morning and I don't want you to be late for work. I'm really sorry since I should have informed you sooner.” Chris explained in an assuring tone.

However, he was currently lying to Eva. In all honesty, he didn't have any matter to take care of but he made it up as an excuse. He was trying to stay away from Eva as much as possible during this period because he was afraid that he might put her in danger now that he knew that the Landon family were after him.

This was something he couldn't disclose to Eva because that might even cause her to

    At this time, Chris was mowing the lawn as a punishment from his Kate who was still peeved about what happened last night. He felt the vibration of his phone ringing in his pocket and he was surprised to see that the caller was none other than Amanda. “Hello, I'm surprised that you called me first.” Chris stated, trying to tease Amanda but his reaction soon became serious when he heard the urgency in Chris' voice. “Chris, quick, you have to go help Eva. She is in serious trouble and I don't know her current state.” Chris was stunned. It had only been twenty minutes since Eva left home so what could have happened to her. “What are you talking about? She just left home for work a short while ago.” He said, thinking maybe Amanda was trying to pull a prank on him. “I know! She called me to come drive her to work after her car broke down. Afterwards, I suddenly heard her screaming and there were several grunting sounds.” Amanda frantically explained the situation as it happened

    In the office, John sat calmly on a sofa with a cigar in his mouth and Felix standing behind him. When he saw Eva enter the room, a flash of amazement appeared in his eyes. “Are you Evangeline Carter?” he asked with a sleazy smile, narrowing his eyes at Eva “Y-Yes, but I don't think we have met before, sir.” “Haha, Miss Carter, I’ve heard a lot about you.“As expected, you’re gorgeous and worthy of being the greatest beauty of Brooklyn!” John remarked enthusiastically ignoring Eva's questions. He shifted his gaze to the guards standing behind Eva. “Please untie the young lady. We shouldn't treat our guests in such disrespectful manner. Besides, that flawless skin is too precious to be ruined.” He ordered. Eva wasn't fooled by John’s jovial behavior as she was getting danger signals from him. John ordered everyone in the room to rage their leave after Eva had been untied , leaving only two of them in the room. “Please, have a seat, miss Carter. Let's have a small chat!” H

    Eva was disgusted but she held herself back for the sake of not provoking John any further. “Yes, I am willing to compensate with whatever amount of money that would suffice to treat Jason so just tell me how much you need,” John's expression darkened after hearing Eva's words. “Evangeline, are you trying to insult me and the Landon family?” “Excuse me!” Eva was very confused. “ Does it look to you that I can't afford to pay the medical bills for my son”s treatment. Your money won't suffice as a form of compensation for the damage done.” John growled,his voice filled with anger. “Then ...Then what do you want? I will do it as long as it's within my power?” The wry and insincere smile that instantly made its way to John’s face made Eva feel a chill run down her spine. Suddenly, John put a bottle of alcohol on the table. “If you really want to negotiate with me, finish this bottle of alcohol first then I'll believe your sincerity.” “Huh!” Eva was put in a difficult positio

    Eva wasn't a fool. She understood by now that Johnwasn’t intending to discuss cooperating with her. However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and couldn’t even stand straight. “You!” Eva glowered at John furiously. But before she could even finish saying anything, she blacked out and fell onto the couch. Eva slumped back on the couch, feeling lightheaded. Her face was dripping with sweat. She could feel the aftereffects of the alcohol hitting her. Her hands and legs went weak, and she was losing her balance. A triumphant smile was evident on John’s face. “It seems like the alcohol is finally taking effect. Even I would normally drink two glasses but you consumed quite a bit too much so you might be out of consciousness for a day or two. There is no choice going against my request but if you choose to make it difficult then I won't be the only one that would have a taste of you.” Eva's face turned pale when she heard that. She suddenly realized that she had fallen deeper

    The other security officer was bewildered but he acted fast and radioed more security officers as it seems that Chris was here with malicious intention. “Attention! We have a dangerous intruder in the building. Everyone hurry up!” He announced in an alarming tone and choked on her saliva as her eyes met Chris' menacing gaze. Chris' patience had already run thin and so he kicked the security officer in the chest with a heavy force. The security officer's body flew until it crashed against the metal gate of the mansion Afterwards, Chris casually walked into the compound with aloofness. He was especially merciless today as he brutally decimated every opponent he came across as he approached the main building.. None of his opponents could stand up to him at all, each one of them were defeated in mere seconds. By the time he reached the main building, he had killed more than thirty men and his body was covered in their blood. However, he was now surrounded by over a hundred men at thi

    Felix already knew that Chris was a good fighter but he didn't expect that Chris would be this strong. He was in awe just by looking at the exceptional technique and raw strength that Chris was displaying as he fought. Thus, he wondered if they had unknowingly provoked the wrong person. Was he even human? He pondered as Chris seemed more like a ferocious monster. “Stop!” Felix yelled, his loud voice echoed in the air, catching everyone’s attention. Chris also paused and took a glance at the directions the voice came from and he quickly recognized Felix thankfully for the picture Ethan had sent him earlier. “You…where is she?!” He demanded Eva 's whereabouts from Felix. “Mr. Chris, There is no need to cause anymore trouble. The patriarch has expressed his intentions to see you so please follow me.” Felix said, managing to maintain his composure despite the fact he was intimidated by Chris oppressing aura. After shooting Felix a hostile glance, Chris followed him as they bo

    Felix broke into a cold sweat knowing what John’s gesture meant. A muscular and burly man walked from the corner inside the room and stood next to John. “Hahaha….What do you think now, punk? This is Ludwig, my personal bodyguard. He is a former German MMA champion and his punches are strong enough to break a solid wall. Do you still dare to keep running your mouth? You might get the chance to retain your life if you get down on your knees now.” he bragged, expecting Chris to be intimidated. However, Chris' facial expression was indifferent as he stared at Ludwig. “Is that supposed to make me feel afraid? You don't have the qualifications to make me kneel before you?” John grimaced in rage. When he heard their words, he was so furious that he turned hysterical. “Good, you just signed your own death warrant. I must punish you for looking down on the might of the landon family.” He roared and glanced at Ludwig. Go, beat him up until he begs for death! I want you to crush their bones

    Meanwhile, John crawled to his desk and picked out a revolver from the drawer. “Hold it!” he shouted in a commanding tone seeing that Chris was about to take Eva away and he obviously wasn’t willing to let that happen. “I'm going to shoot if you take any step further.” he grimaced. Felix was surprised by John’s action. He had already figured out that Chris was never an opponent that could beat in the first place and it was a terrible idea to provoke someone like him. The fact that Chris was willing to leave without killing them was a privilege but now John had just worsened the situation by pulling a gun on Chris “Uncle, What are you doing? It's going to be very dangerous if you fire that gun. We are surely going to die.” Felix cried out in desperation as he tried to cajole John. “Shut up, you useless punk! How dare you tell me what to do? I'm going to kill this bastard no matter what it comes to.” John lashed out at Felix. He was totally consumed with rage and was determined t

    Ethan, who had been waiting by the car, caught sight of her vehicle disappearing into the distance. “Let's head to Cross Corporation.” Chris said As soon as he stepped into the car. Ethan turned to him. "Sir, I just saw the madam's car." Chris’s gaze snapped toward him. "Where?" "She just drove past the hotel. She saw you with Emma." Chris’s brows furrowed. "Follow her." Ethan immediately started the car and pulled out into traffic, but the city’s congestion worked against them. Within minutes, they lost her. Chris clenched his jaw, irritation flickering in his sharp eyes. "Head straight to the mansion," he ordered, hoping she had gone home. But when they arrived, Eva was nowhere to be found but Kate and Bruce were in the house. “You are back home early today?” Kate said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Chris ignored her nagging. “Isn't Eva home yet?” “No, she is probably still at work. Do you think everyone is as jobless and irresponsible as you? Kate retorted. For

    About an hour ago, Chris leaned back in his leather chair, his fingers drumming lightly against the polished desk of Pegasus Enterprise. The floor-to-ceiling windows of his office reflected the golden hues of the late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the luxurious space. He had just finished reviewing a high-profile acquisition deal, but his mind was elsewhere. Eva. He knew he had failed to pick her up the previous evening. It was a minor misstep, but one he didn’t want to repeat. Their relationship was a delicate balance—one he wasn’t willing to tip over. He glanced at his watch. There was still time before Eva was scheduled to leave the Carter estate, but there was another obligation he had to tend to first. Standing, Chris grabbed his suit jacket and slipped it on with effortless precision. "Ethan," he called as he stepped out of his office. Ethan, who had been waiting outside, straightened immediately. "Sir?" "Prepare the car. I’m stopping by the hotel before he

    A few murmurs of agreement rippled through the room. Eva’s gaze sharpened, already sensing Eric’s intention to undermine her. She exhaled slowly, keeping her voice calm yet firm. "I find it amusing that you’re concerned about punctuality when this very meeting was only possible because of the business deals I secured for this family. Or would you prefer to discuss the countless contracts I’ve personally overseen that have elevated the Carter name?" Eric’s smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, but he quickly recovered. "Of course, we acknowledge your contributions. But it isn’t enough. You still have many other responsibilities to the family and as head you need to set an example." Eva folded her arms. "Oh? Do enlighten me." Eric leaned forward, his gaze gleaming with false sincerity. " You know this would have been much easier if you didn't have to drive all the way here.Why don’t you relocate the Carter family to your current mansion? It’s extravagant and more than spacious

    Back in her room, Eva leaned against the door, her hands balled into fists. She groaned in embarrassment, not sure about what she just did. Her mind was a storm of emotions—confusion, frustration, pain. The sight of that lipstick stain haunted her. Her stomach twisted at the mere thought of Chris with another woman. She had spent the entire day yearning for his presence, regretting how she had treated him… only to now be met with something that shattered her fragile resolve. Was she really being foolish? Had she been longing for someone who had already moved on? She shut her eyes, inhaling sharply. This feeling—this uneasiness gnawing at her—was unbearable. But there was nothing she could do about it. Not right now. As the night deepened, Eva lay awake, staring at the ceiling, her heart aching with emotions she didn’t know how to handle. And Chris, on the other side of the mansion, was just as restless—completely unaware of the storm brewing in Eva’s heart. T

    “Where have you been all day, Chris?” Kate’s voice rang through the house. “Do you even know what time it is? You think that you can. Just come and go as you please” Chris’s voice was calm, composed. “I had things to take care of, Mother.” “Oh, so you disappear for days, come back whenever you please, and don’t even think to explain?” “I’m sorry, Mother. I didn’t mean to worry you.” Kate scoffed. “Do you even care about this family? About Eva?” Eva clenched her fists. Why did Mom always have to bring me into everything? Chris remained patient. “I do care, Mother. But I had no choice. I had something important to handle.” Kate exhaled sharply. “You better not bring trouble to this house, Christopher.” Chris didn’t respond. He quietly climbed the stairs. Then came the sound of footsteps. Eva barely had time to react before she noticed Chris making his way up the stairs. Her heart pounded. Would he come to her room? Would he apologize? But instead, he walked straight past her

    The golden hue of the setting sun bathed the Cross Corporation building in a soft glow as employees exited the towering glass structure in waves. Eva Carter stepped through the revolving doors, her heart pounding with quiet anticipation. Her gaze instinctively swept across the bustling street, searching for the familiar sleek black car that Chris always parked near the curb. But he wasn’t there. She frowned, gripping the strap of her handbag tightly. Maybe he’s running late. It wouldn’t be the first time Chris had kept her waiting due to work, but he always showed up. Always. Minutes ticked by. First five. Then ten. The occasional rush of a car passing by barely distracted her from the growing tightness in her chest. She took a deep breath, pushing away the creeping unease that threatened to settle. He’ll come. He has to. But when thirty minutes passed with no sign of him, the bitter taste of disappointment curled on her tongue. She felt like a fool standing there, waiting. No ca

    Dexter was also equally confused, he was now sweating in fear but he still tried to regain control. “Mr. Landon, I assure you, this is just a misunderstanding—” Before he could finish, Felix turned and slapped him across the face. The entire room froze. Dexter stumbled, eyes wide in shock. “S-Sir?” Felix’s gaze was ice-cold. “You don’t touch people under my protection.” Dexter’s lips trembled. He had underestimated the weight of Chris’s connections. Chris leaned back in his chair, watching with amusement. “How dare you?....How dare you disrespect Mr.chris?....I’m going to see to it that you no longer have the liberty to conduct any more business in Brooklyn by the time I'm through with you.” Dexter was confused and could only drop to his knees instantly and bow his head in shame as he wondered how Chris was connected to the Landon family. “I'm sorry sir….I'm really sorry sir. I wasn't aware that Mr. Chris was a friend to the Landon family. I would not have acted disrespectfu

    Dexter’s grin faltered for the first time. His eyes darted to his hidden dealer, who subtly signaled that his hand wasn’t as strong as he thought. For the first time, uncertainty flickered in Dexter’s expression. But his pride wouldn’t let him back down. “All in,” he snarled. The dealer flipped the final two cards—King of Spades and a Nine of Spades. Chris had hit a Royal Flush—the highest possible hand. The room erupted into murmurs. Dexter’s face turned pale as he realized he had walked right into a trap. Chris leaned back, crossing his arms. “Looks like I win.” Dexter’s hands clenched into fists. “You… you cheated.” Chris tilted his head. “Cheating? You would know all about that, wouldn’t you?” Ethan chuckled. “Boss, looks like the casino manager isn’t used to losing.” Dexter slammed his fists onto the table. “I won’t let this slide.” Chris’s eyes darkened. “A deal is a deal. You don’t want to go back on your word now, do you?” Dexter ground his teeth. He did expect t

    To be honest, Chris had recognized Dexter the moment they locked eyes with one another. However, he acted otherwise hoping that the situation would become less complicated. “You damn bastard!....I told you we were going to meet again but who would have thought that you would actually dare to come into the casino all by yourself.” “You are getting yourself in this issue just like you did last time we met.” “What do you expect? I can't just stand by and watch your injustice.” “Fine. If you want to do that You want to pay off her debt? Let’s make it fun.” Dexter’s grin widened. “I have seen your fighting skills and I admit that you are good but let's find out if that applies to something else. I suggest a round of poker if you are confident in your skills.” Chris’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t play games I can’t win.” “What are the odds of the game?” Let’s make this interesting. Since we both have something at stake, let’s raise the buy-in.” Chris raised an eyebrow. “How much?”
