The night air grew harsher as Liam slowly got up from the ground and stood to his feet while suppressing his body from shivering from the cold.“Carmen is pregnant and it's mine?” Liam asked with his gaze fixed on Roman’s murderous eyes.“Hunter, level him to where he belongs!” Roman emotionlessly said.With soulless eyes and tight fist, Hunter rushed over to Liam and viciously threw a punch which hit between Liam’s waist and rib cage, causing him to fall to his knees while coughing out blood.His hands then tightly wrapped around his stomach as he swallowed the pain and restrained his lips from letting out a moan.“That’s better.” Roman mockingly said.As anger welled up in his chest, Liam caged it and lifted his head to gaze at Roman. Then he slowly fought back his pain and stood to his feet.“I know that I messed up with Carmen, and I am deeply sorry for my actions. But I am ready to be the man your daughter deserves if you will just give

The first place Dax went when he arrived in the country was Carmen’s villa since he had spent the entire night tossing in bed and wondering if he might have overreacted during their conversation.  As he stood patiently at the door, it took a moment of hesitation for him to finally knock. But Dax got no response, so he repeatedly knocked and after banging several times on the door, he stopped and deeply inhaled to quench his anger. Then Dax took out his phone, dial Carmen's number, and listened to it ring while he paced back and forth, striving not to let anger cloud his judgment. “The number you have called has not answer, please try again.”  Dax quivered with frustration as those words repeated in his ear countless times as he continuously c

The first light of dawn met Carmen standing before her dresser mirror, holding her hair in a tight ponytail. Then she smiled at her reflection before grabbing her purse and hurrying out of her room.After Carmen had walked out of the front door and approached her car, she slowly stopped in her tracks as her lashes blinked uncontrollably while she slowly rubbed her index finger behind her ear.“I called you multiple times yesterday. Why didn't you answer my call?” Dax calmly said without losing eye contact with Carmen.The stress his stare caused her only grew more uncomfortable by the second. So she looked down at her hands and attempted to slow her breathing. But still, Carmen felt frozen and unable to speak since she could feel his eyes on her.“You are back with him, right?” Dax asked with annoyance mixed with anger in his tone even though his voice sounded calm.At this point, what Carmen felt was a deep sense of guilt and remorse that she couldn't

As the first light of a new day crept into the room, Carmen’s hand brushed Liam's side of the bed, and after feeling the sheets for him, she slowly raised her eyelids, and sleepy stared at his board back.“Why are you up so early?” Carmen asked as she gently rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.In a rush, Liam pulled his shirt over his wound, turned around, and stared back at her as his face softened into a smile.“How bad is it?” Carmen asked, looking at him with a serious expression.“Ummm, my wounds are healing pretty well,” Liam replied while avoiding her gaze.“Can I see?” “Ahhh… I just checked it, so there's nothing to worry about.”“Is that so.”“Yes,”With a calm expression, Carmen stepped down from the bed, walked towards Liam, and stopped when there was no space between them. Then she slowly started unbuttoning her blouse.“What are you doing?” Liam mumbled in shock.“You are fine, so it's okay for us to

“You lost her again. Just like that, you allow her to slip through your fingers.” Halton said while staring at the longing in Dax's eyes as he watched Carmen walk out of the hall.“What am I supposed to do? Chain her up and trap her in a cage?” Dax mumbled.With a smirk on his face, Halton lightly patted his son on the shoulder and said, “Well that's a solid plan. Now we are getting somewhere.”“You must be kidding me. Let me know if my voice wasn't sarcastical enough.” Dax coldly said while staring at his father like he was going insane.As he mentally brushed off his son's comment, Halton faintly chuckled as though he had remembered something funny. Then a mocking smile crossed his face.“You are weak-hearted just like your mother.” Halton teasingly said with tension in his grin.“Don't bring mom into such a conversation. She deserves to rest in peace after having a husband
