Chapter 581

Penulis: Cloud Drop
“Archer, why do you always seem so careful with me? It’s like you’re afraid of hurting me.”

Aria looked at him, her eyes a little red, holding back tears.

His throat tightened. He reached out and gently mussed her hair. “It’s not about being careful. It’s because I care. I don’t ever want my words to make you feel like you don’t matter to me.”

And that was the difference.

When he said, Don’t see Rachel anymore, okay? It wasn’t a command. It was a request, almost a plea. He lowered himself, waiting for her answer.

But if he had said, ‘You’re not allowed to see Rachel again’ that would’ve been something else entirely. That would’ve been control, not care.

Because he cared, every word was measured.

Warmth spread through Aria’s chest, sweet and golden, like catching the scent of honey on a bright autumn day.

She cupped his face in both hands, her gaze soft and full of emotion, and leaned in to kiss him. Her lips brushed his, coaxing his mouth open, and then her arms looped around h

    Larry’s head was spinning.Why had Shawn come back? Why was he still remembering Aria after all these years? Why was he really here, standing in this room, ready to fight for her?“You… why did you come back!” Larry’s voice cracked with panic.He still remembered the Shawn from years ago. Back then, he hadn’t even known who Shawn really was. All he knew was that after Larry got engaged to Aria, Shawn disappeared abroad and was never seen again.At that time, Shawn had only reached Aria’s shoulder, a skinny kid who clung to her because she’d once saved him. Whatever she did, he followed.Larry had never taken him seriously. To him, Shawn was just a child, someone no woman in her right mind would choose over him. If Aria treated Shawn kindly, it was only because she saw him as a younger brother.A kid like that? Harmless. No threat at all.But the man in front of him now was nothing like that teenage boy.The boy who once barely reached Aria’s shoulder was now towering over him,

    Larry was drained, body and mind. Lately all he wanted was to drown himself in women and alcohol. Night after night he clung to Lucy, needing her sweet words to coax him into sleep.Tonight was no different. Hearing her mock Ryan’s background got him riled up again, and he pinned her down on the bed, trying to forget his troubles for a moment.The lights in the room were bright, almost blinding. Lucy laughed softly, wrapping her arms around him, but when she lifted her head, her smile froze. On the sofa in the corner sat a tall man, half-hidden in the shadows, as if he’d materialized out of nowhere.“Ah!” Lucy shrieked, trembling violently.Her scream jolted Larry. He snapped at her, frowning. “What the hell are you screaming for!”Her finger shook as she pointed toward the sofa. “Larry… there’s… there’s another man in our room!”Her words made Larry’s stomach drop. His blood ran cold, killing whatever mood he had left. He turned sharply, glaring toward the corner.The man sat s

    In that moment, Ben hated Stevie Wimmerman with everything in him.Hadn’t he brought enough women already? Why did he have to provoke Archer’s wife of all people? It was Stevie’s fault he’d ended up in this mess.No longer holding anything back, Ben spat out the truth, his voice laced with bitterness. “That resort project Stevie landed was one of those government-led initiatives. He pushed his way in, claiming he’d cover the whole cost himself without asking for a cent from above, and even donated tens of millions to Harbour City’s charity fund. That’s the only reason he got their favor.”He laid out everything he knew, not hiding a thing.Ethan’s smile only deepened.So that was it. He’d thought Stevie might actually be someone important. But no—just another fool trying to buy connections. The resort project had always been government-backed. Stevie forcing his way in only saved those people a chunk of money, money Ethan knew damn well whose pockets it ended up in.No wonder

    Anyone with connections in Harbour City knew the truth about Ethan Alexander: the more he smiled, the more dangerous he was. And right now, staring into that grin, Ben could swear the cold glint in Ethan’s eyes was solid enough to cut.Ben forced out a couple of dry laughs. “Mr. Alexander… I’m just a nobody.”“How could you be a nobody?” Ethan said smoothly. “Even I don’t have the right to bring call girls into Grandview. For you to be this bold, you can’t be a nobody. You must have someone backing you.” He tilted his head, still smiling. “So go on, tell me who’s behind you. I’d like to see what kind of big shot dares protect someone who thinks he can challenge Grandview.”Ben’s heart lurched. So Ethan really did know about him sneaking women in. No wonder his face was so dark, no wonder every word dripped with mockery.All thoughts of teaming up with Stevie Wimmerman vanished. Ben just wanted to save his own skin.“Mr. Alexander, I swear, Mr. Wimmerman pushed me into it. I’m

    Ben barged in, cursing them out like he owned the place, swagger written all over his face.He figured Lucas had no real backing—just another bunch of spoiled kids freeloading at Grandview. If they wanted to party, why not at Blue Note, where all the second-rate rich boys went? What were they doing here, of all places?He kept ranting, demanding they hand Stevie over.Lucas flicked his tongue against his teeth, a shadow crossing his eyes. Noisy idiot. This was supposed to be a quiet reunion with friends, and this clown wouldn’t shut up? Who the hell did he think he was?Lucas grabbed a bottle and stood. He looked about ready to smash it over someone’s head.Ben flinched and stumbled back. His voice jumped an octave. “Do you even know who Mr. Wimmerman is? He’s donated millions to Harbour City! He’s been handed government projects, including the resort! If you touch him, you’re finished! I’ll make sure the whole city knows—you spoiled brats think you can push people around, but the

    It just proved once again—good-looking guys only hung out with other good-looking guys.Ethan couldn’t help thinking, what kind of spoiled rich kid was this green-haired fool anyway? If even an airheaded softie like him counted as one of the “bad boys,” then what the hell was Larry? Right—scum. Pure scum. No fixing that.Lucas, on the other hand, was the playful type. His crowd might all be trust-fund brats, but they had their own code. The real players always laid things out upfront—some wanted fun, some wanted money. If both sides agreed, fine. If not, they’d move on. A few of them were called playboys just because they liked to bankroll small-time celebrities for the thrill of watching them rise. At least they had boundaries.Most of these guys were the youngest sons in their families anyway. Their older brothers handled the businesses, so they had the luxury of wasting time.Ethan caught himself staring at Greenie a little too long. The kid actually looked embarrassed, practica
