He said it with a commanding authority, as though he was ejecting an unwanted persona non grata that he hardly regarded highly from his premise. To him, Zayn was likely a colleague of Shaelyn, an unimpressive little white collar who earned 1500 dollars a month or so at most. Making a comparison with the nephew of the city mayor was akin to comparing a pauper with a prince! How could an unimpressive little white collar like this even think he could become a son-in-law to the Turner family?Zayn heard him in nonchalance. Shaelyn, however, could not bear to hear any more of it. Miffed, she riposted, “What kind of attitude is that, uncle? His name is Zayn Larson, and he is my boyfriend. Boyfriend! Not my colleague! And… he’s staying with us for the night.”The middle-aged man—husband to Shaelyn’s paternal aunt—glared. “If your plan is to see your family going kaput, then that’s a brilliant plan, Lottie. The mayor’s nephew is waiting for you inside that room, just waiting for you to accep

“What do you think you’re doing, Lottie? Say hi to Rugal now!” Shirley Wade, Shaelyn’s mother, grunted after shooting her daughter a forceful glare.The young woman was exasperated, but she was also too scared to disobey her mother. Still, the way she greeted Rugal was so haphazard and halfhearted, anyone could tell it was insincere and devoid of any amity.Unsurprisingly, Shirley was displeased. Scowling, she snapped, “What’s with that attitude, Lottie? Can a simple, kindly greeting kill you?”Rugal leaped to his feet to defuse the tension. “Ah, please, Aunt Shirley. It’s alright. I actually like her like this.”Shirley broke into a pleased chuckle. “Damn it, Rugal. You’re such a polite, pleasant young man! It’s impossible not to like you even more!”The smile on Rugal’s face widened until it reached his eyes, which then darted to Shaelyn’s face. He was not even trying to hide how much he was infatuated with her. In fact, his attention soon slid from her face to the contour of he

Shaelyn’s admission was akin to a slap across Rugal’s cheek.Ever since he heard about her return, he had spent a mammoth sum of money to procure a gift before rushing to the Turner’s mansion from the inner city. After all that displays of sincerity, it turned out that the woman who was supposed to be his wife had a boyfriend she had cohabited with for a long time! This was utterly mortifying! An unprecedented humiliation throughout his life growing up!The Turners could see storm clouds pouring all over Rugal’s countenance to their growing fear and anxiety. They had never hated Shaelyn so much in their life!With a veneer of nipping frost in his mien, Rugal turned to Shirley and demanded, “You told me Lieselotte’s single! But from the looks of it, that isn’t the case at all, is it? I need an explanation!”He was not even going to hide the fact that he was seriously enraged—that’s how much ire this revelation had raised! Frightened, Shirley tried to do damage control as quickly as

Zayn ignored him completely in favor of taking a swig of his coffee. Naturally, his obvious dismissal lit up another fuse to Rugal’s already fiery temperament, and now he looked even angrier.“You deaf or what? I’m talking to you here!” Rugal snarled, his voice laced with rage.Zayn set his mug down and leaned onto the back of the couch, making sure his eyes were on par with Rugal’s. “I’m not leaving her.”Rugal sneered. “You really don’t know your place, do you?” he demanded, straightening his back with a smug, self-important look to the amazement and awe of the Turners. “I’m Rugal Gonzalez! My uncle is Yuri Gonzalez, Mayor of Tael City!”Whatever dominating effects he had hoped to achieve, though, it was lost on Zayn. To the latter, Rugal was a clown, a little ant thinking it could intimidate a boot. Zayn was not just any random guy on the street; he was the terrifying legend who managed to boot master fighters like Xander and Mia out of existence with his fighting prowess! How c

The commotion was so loud, everyone was jolted into a startle. Rugal had it worse, though; he had been sipping his coffee when it happened, so he accidentally shoved a whole gulp of boiling liquid down his throat and was now yelping in pain.Seeing the throng busting into her house dialed Shirley’s temper to the eleven. With a loud smack on the table, she fumed, “Oy, the hell you think you are?! You ruined my perfectly good door!”The group was made out of about ten or so men who were all dressed in suits. The one in the middle, who looked about in his thirties, was wearing a pair of shades. Just one glance at him, and everyone could tell that he was a bigshot disinterested in friendly chats about the weather. Even the men behind him looked pretty cool, if not intimidating.Their presence ushered a change in mood. Suddenly, the Turners froze, their indignance fizzling out. One of them, a middle-aged man, turned pale and dove behind his family’s backs, as though worried that someone
