  • Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don    CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: The Beast Named Roger

    The heavy door to Raina’s bedroom clicked shut, and in that single second, the man who had been gentle with her disappeared. Maxton Retroferd stood in the hallway, but he didn't look like a husband anymore. He looked like a nightmare.His eyes darkened until they were like two pits of black ink. The air around him suddenly felt cold and heavy, making it hard for the nearby guards to breathe. As Maxton walked toward the basement stairs, every servant and guard he passed quickly lowered their heads. They didn't just respect him; they were terrified of the energy coming off his body. They knew what was happening…..They knew that Maxton was gone, and someone else had taken his place.In the underworld, people whispered about Maxton’s secret. He had an alter ego, a second personality that his men called "Roger." While Maxton was cold and calculating, Roger was a monster. He was extremely violent, acted like a complete psychopath, and enjoyed the sight of blood. Every time something truly t

    “Hahaha!!” When Maxton shouted at her, asking if she knew how to act like a normal woman, Raina didn’t look ashamed or even try to cover herself up or blush. Instead, she let out a loud, clear laugh."A normal woman?" Raina repeated, her eyes sparking with a playful fire as she looked Maxton straight in the eyes, ignoring the pain in her ribs. "I wouldn't know, Don Maxton. My father didn't raise a lady and I never attended any etiquette classes. But since you seem to be such an expert..." She leaned forward slightly with a mocking smile on her lips. "Why don't you teach me? Show me exactly how a 'normal woman' is supposed to act."Maxton’s jaw tightened as he looked at her, then looked away, giving her a sharp side-eye. He felt a strange heat in his chest that he couldn't explain. He was about to say something back when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out, looked at the screen, and frowned.Without saying a word, Maxton turned and walked out of the room to tak

    The black car roared through the gates of the Retroferd estate. Maxton didn't wait for the guards to open his door, he quickly stepped out with Raina still cradled in his arms. She looked like a broken doll, but the way she held her head showed she was far from finished. Maxton’s face was dark and his mind was filled with what he was going to do to the thugs that he had ordered Carlos to find. He wanted blood, but first, he needed to make sure Raina doesn't die while she is living under his roof.Inside the grand sitting room, a man was sitting on the huge sofa, drinking a glass of water. He is Ramirez, Maxton’s personal doctor and one of his few true friends. Ramirez had been told to come quickly, but he hadn't been told why, so he hurried over, thinking that something might have happened to Maxton.When the front doors burst open and Maxton walked in carrying a woman, Ramirez was so shocked that he actually spat his water out. pfft!!The water splashed all over the expensive rug

    The boxing arena was still loud and full of cheering people. Carlos was standing near the executive seats, his eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of trouble, but his phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw Raina’s name on the screen. He answered it quickly, but when he heard what she said, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately frowned with worry.Carlos didn't waste a single second, as he quickly pushed through the crowd of rich people and sponsors and headed straight for the main seat of the executive section where Maxton was still talking to three men. Maxton looked calm, but as soon as Carlos leaned in with a panicked expression, he immediately knew something was wrong and his calmness vanished."Don Maxton," Carlos whispered, his voice filled with urgency. "It’s Raina…She just called and said that she was attacked at her old apartment."Maxton’s face turned cold and he immediately stood up so fast his chair almost tipped over."Excuse me," Maxton sa

    Bryan felt his heart drop into his stomach and for a second, he couldn't even breathe. He stood in the middle of the VIP hallway, staring at the most dangerous man in the city. Maxton just kept staring at Bryan with a scrutinizing gaze, trying to catch every one of his actions.‘Does he know?’ Bryan wondered. ‘Did he see through her disguise?’But as Bryan looked closer at Maxton’s face, he realized that Maxton looked curious and suspicious, but he didn't seem to know the truth about Raina Bryan quickly wiped the shock off his face and replaced it with a polite, humble smile. He bowed his head slightly toward Maxton."Don Maxton," Bryan said, his voice steady and calm. "I didn't expect to see you here…I forgot that a man of your status supports such big events."Maxton narrowed his eyes. "You didn't answer my question, Bryan. Why are you here? I thought you were resting after your... little accident at the estate."Bryan chuckled softly, acting like a proud teacher. "A coach never r
