Alexander's POV

As my eyes set on Sebastian leaving with Scarlet in his grip, wounded as they left the party, my eyes caught Tristan lying there in an unconscious state. That fool... how dare he?

The party came to an end as the guests made their way out, bidding a gentle farewell. Furious, I left as well, driving off to the bar instead of my mansion.

I needed to suppress the burning rage within me...

I would surely teach Tristan a lesson. I hoped Scarlet was okay...

I grabbed my phone, deciding to call her and let her know she should rest. I needed to let her know I care...

But that fool would surely pay... he would pay for laying a finger on her, and I would see to it.

"Sir, your wine..." the bartender said, pouring the alcohol into a bottle as I downed it immediately.

"Pour me another..." I uttered, downing it as well.

The lights were spinning as my legs began stumbling. I tried to steady my movements while taking another glass and downing it too.

The night was approaching midnight,

    "Kaiden, you awake?" I asked, witnessing him trying to sit up as he groaned in pain. I found myself hastening to his side, helping him up properly. "You should be careful; you're still not well." I said, watching him let out a slight chuckle."What?" I questioned with a raised brow."It just feels off, not like you." He responded. He was right; this wasn't like me. I mean, I hated him so much, and here I was, helping him up and hoping he was alright. Was it because he saved my life? Because he was here, injured, all because of my sake? Or maybe it was after hearing his last name, knowing he might be related to Angelica. A hope that he might have answers to what happened to Angelica after the war broke out—if she was still alive.I left no response, taking my seat beside him, as he let out a sigh after sitting up properly. "I am sorry, ma'am." He uttered."Sorry?""I failed you. I couldn't protect you throughout. I was your bodyguard, and I failed at my duty.""You didn't, Kaiden. If y

    I walked up to Sebastian, catching his eyes as I approached him."What are you doing down here, Scarlet—""Is it true, Sebastian?" I interjected. "Was this all because of you, just like the kidnapping? I was almost killed last night, Sebastian...""Enough of this now, Scarlet. You need to rest. I don't want any issues arising regarding your health now," he said, but his words only elicited a slight chuckle from me."My health?" I remarked. "And since when did you care about that, Sebastian? Really, what's going on? Why do I keep getting involved in everything? I had no idea who they were and why they wanted to kill me, only to find out now that they were trying to get back at you. I need to know now, Sebastian—who are you truly?" I asked, my eyes scanning his for answers, but all I was left with was his silence, which persisted for a while."There are some things which are best you don't get yourself involved in, Scarlet. Right now, your recovery is important, and that should be your

  • A Billion Reasons for Revenge   A Life in Danger

    Loud gunshots echoed through the room as blood trickled. My eyes sprang open, only to realize it was all just a dream, as the rays of the sun that gleamed through the window caused my eyes to shut again. I tried removing my gaze from the blinding light, only to catch sight of Sebastian sitting on the bed near me."Are you—" he said, but in a blink, I found myself on him, my hands wrapped around him as I let out a sigh.I was trying to catch my words as they hoped to escape, remembering last night's incident with Kaiden almost shot and me almost killed.But wait, how did I end up here, then? The last thing I could remember was trying to run. As my gaze caught sight of Kaiden bleeding even more, I ran, going deeper into the forest...What happened next? I had no idea what took place next.I released my hands, retreating a bit as my gaze raised to meet Sebastian's."Are you alright?" he questioned, helping me back as I laid my head, resting back on the bed."What happened last night, Seb

  • A Billion Reasons for Revenge   Tracking the Enemy

    "What happened, boss?" Darius asked, walking up to me as I returned my phone to my trousers. "I will kill them all. I will make sure I rip him from limb to limb.""Boss?""Get the vehicles ready, Darius. It seems we need to attend to some things," I said, my gaze returning to Nikolai, who remained there, his eyes fixed on mine. "I don't care who he is, Nikolai. I shall have his head, and I hope you help me get his location. That's all I need from you." I made my way out of the warehouse, entered my car, and drove off with a few of my men and Darius trailing me.Many thoughts swirled in my mind as I tried processing the situation. I could only hope they would hold up until I arrived there. Whoever this mystery Don is, I will make him pay. How dare he play such tricks? Really, I need to take care of every single one of them who lurks in the shadows, labeled as my enemy, plotting against me.Not long after, I arrived at the location Scarlet had dropped. Stepping out of my car with a few

    "No!" I exclaimed.What was happening? Who was that stranger?Before I could make proper sense of what was unfolding before me, my eyes caught sight of the stranger approaching me with the pointed dagger. My mind could only scream one word, 'Run!' I stood up, hoping to flee, but my legs felt like jelly as I stumbled back onto the ground, my hands brushing against the dirt.I turned my gaze, watching the stranger getting closer with every inch."No, stay away, stay away," I muttered, trying to get on my feet to escape.It felt like a hit on my back as an excruciating pain tore through me."And where do you think you're going?" I heard the stranger utter. His grasp tightened on my neck, slamming me against the wall with his dagger poised, ready to drive deep into my flesh.Really, this couldn't be it; I couldn't die, not now. Mom still needed me; I wanted to see her get better, and I wanted to make Evelyn pay. But now it seemed like all my plans had been cut short, and here I was, facin

    Scarlet's POV"And look who we have here?" My eyes landed on Evelyn walking up to my side. I wasn't surprised to run into her here."How may I be of help to my stepsister, or does she miss her father's restaurant so much that she came back running? Don't worry, I can be sure to hire you as the dishwasher, maybe. At least we are family," she said.I felt like strangling that witch. Her mere presence only seemed to ignite more anger within me. But I couldn't let go of what I had just learned from the detective—she had plotted my parents' death. I needed answers as to why she did that. I mean, the property was already hers, so why did she do that? I wanted to force her to spill it all out and then send her to jail afterward to rot for all her crimes.But now, knowing she had gone to such lengths to kill, I was sure that she was behind my mother's predicament. I was certain she was behind every single bit of it. And even knowing so much, all I could do was put on a fake act.I didn't want
