36. In Trouble!

Egon's POV 

Her beautiful emerald eyes watched me as I grabbed her dress. These gorgeous eyes always make me wonder how the beholder can be so evil.

She scowled when I grabbed her arm and made her stand, naked in front of me. 

Why does this woman have to torture me to the extent where I forget how to breathe? I sucked in a deep breath, she is fucking goddamn gorgeous woman. 

And she knows, because she is watching me struggling to stand quietly in front of her. She knows what she is doing. 

Those beautiful curves, butter-like skin and radiant glow. How am I supposed to control myself? I am trained to control my mind and emotions but everything goes in vain when she is in front of me. 

I pulled the gown down her head, covered in pastel pink satin. She scowled when she saw pink on her body, it's not her favourite colour, but she looks the prettiest in pink. 

She thinks pink is too soft for her aura, but I always tell her that she looks like an angel when she is in pink.

She stiffened her body when I tried to fix her dress, not letting me do it. 

I placed my hands on her shoulder and jerked her back threateningly.

"Do you really want me to make your body follow my commands, my love?... I believe you won't like it."

She visibly gulped when I threatened her and let me do my work.

I should stay away from her, I scolded her for the same but let me tell you it's extremely difficult. 

I stole a few sinful touches while dressing her, I am not a saint either. 

My knuckles rolled over her curves, caressing them. Creator has carved her perfectly for me. 

I could hear her ragged breathing which she was trying to control in front of me. 

She locked her eyes with me when I fixed her dress from the front, and she was feeling every touch. Her look turned sinful when I fixed her cleavage and pushed it in. I don't like it when other men see it. 

"You are ready!"

She looked at my mocking smile and frowned. 

"You can't take me like this, I am not ready..."

She complained when I dragged her out. She looks so cute when she is complaining, especially when the complaint is about me. 

"You look beautiful without makeup... Don't worry!"

She has never gone to public events without makeup, but how do I break it to her that she looks beautiful without makeup? Her raw look is much more tempting than her makeup look. 

She is ethereal and she is still not aware of that. Her glamorous world has misled her from her origin. 

She was definitely talking to herself the whole ride because I saw thousands of expressions changing on her face. I chuckled to myself. 

We reached the venue and I saw many potential business opportunities, this is going to be a long event. I can't afford Emerald to pull any stunt, I don't have time for a run-and-chase game tonight. 

Celena approached me as we got out of the car, her smile visibly faded when she saw Emerald by my side with her hand hooked to mine. I know she is jealous of Emerald, but hopefully, she won't pull any stupid stunts because I don't want to kill my business partner. 

She looked at me and her smile reappeared. 

"I wasn't expecting you to show up with company..."

Her voice was venomous. 

"Let's focus on work."

I am not interested in her at all. She is nothing in front of my Emerald. Whether it's beauty or brains.

As usual, all eyes were on Emerald; she was always like this, the centre of attraction in the room. But today people are admiring her, she is looking beautiful with no makeup. The Innocence is prominent on her face which is obviously a misleading look. 

I wrapped my hand around her waist as something burned in my chest, motherfuckers can't watch their own women?

Emerald, on the other hand, was silent and looking awkward; she didn't like the attention, thinking people were mocking her. How do I tell her that people still fear her, her power never faded? 

A lion is always a lion, no matter if it's locked in a cage. 

"Wait here for me, I need to finish some important business."

I ordered while dropping her off at the table.

"I don't want you to pull any stunt, understand?"

She just nodded, no sassy reply, no naughty expressions. I believed her for now and walked away. 

I was talking to the business partner when my eyes fell on her again, and she got up and walked away. 

Not tonight, Emerald. I warned you. 

She had almost reached the exit and halted in her place when I blocked her way, her breathing panicked, and her forehead started sweating. She visibly gulped when she saw my pissed off face.

"I was looking for the washroom."

She lied. 

Wrong move, baby. You just made your punishment worse. 

I closed the distance between us.

"Sure, I'll believe you till we step out of the event. Be prepared for what happens after that."

She looked at me with horrified eyes, she should be.

"Now, be a good girl and go back to your table."

Her hands were trembling while she grabbed her gown and walked back to her place. I went back to my conversation. 

"How do you deal with her?"

The man in front of me asked. 

"I thought one of you would be dead by now."

He is my friend, or I can say that for now because no one is actually a friend in this world. 

He is Louis Wolf, a great businessman, a hidden mafia and a cunning evil man. He is dangerous when someone messes with him. 

"That day will come soon."

I looked at Emerald. 

"She will be the death of me."

"Careful, King... Getting obsessed with something so dangerous is not your character."

He smirked. He is too smart not to realise that there is something between us. 

"I couldn't find something delicate and timid like you did..."

I looked at the girl he has brought to the event with him, she is terrified and scared to the bones in his presence. She doesn't even dare to look up at him. 

My vixen is so much better than this; she is scared but always pulls some crazy stunts, and we never get bored. 

I looked at her and saw one man talking to her. I blinked, and she was on the dance floor with him. His hand rested on her waist and something burned from my toes and travelled to my brain. 

She felt my burning gaze on her and finally looked at me, she froze and gulped. Looking terrified as she realised what she had done. 

I took a deep breath to control the monster in me. You shouldn't have fucked up like this, my love. Now the poor man will lose his life. 

And you! You'd better pray to your favourite demon for your rescue. 

She removed the man's hands from her body and rushed towards the entrance, another pathetic act of putting herself in trouble. 

I placed my drink away.

"See you again, Louis!"

He smirked, knowing what was going to happen.

"Have fun!"

Emerald gasped and started trembling when I caught her arm midway and dragged her towards the car. 

She is in deep shit tonight!
