Semua Bab UNDER HIS RULES: Bab 111 - Bab 120

There was one side of Anne that Eland didn't expect. She liked direct physical contact, especially touches. Like now. When Eland carefully placed the bowl in front of Anne, she casually kissed his cheek. Whether she was aware of it or not, it was clear that she was now enjoying the noodles in front of her.Shaking his head softly was all that Eland could do now. Anne's side was truly testing him. Eland had promised himself not to go beyond the limits, no matter how difficult it was to resist.They enjoyed the meal voraciously, well, Anne enjoyed it voraciously. In between bites, she said, "Turns out, your cooking is really delicious. I love it. Will you make it for me again later?""Finish your food first. Don't forget to eat the vegetables," Eland reminded her.Although grumbling, Anne still ate what Eland asked. Eland noticed that Anne's portion of noodles quickly disappeared behind her slightly reddened lips. Perhaps Anne had added more chili slices to her bowl of noodles. Beads of

Hugo understood Ferdi's concerns."You also understand that the Adre River connects trade routes with Savannah."The man in uniform stared intently at Hugo before finishing his glass. "Sam and Savannah, I can't say they have a good relationship, right?"Hugo nodded quietly. "Savannah is too wild and can divert many allies. Sam keeps his privacy and sets certain boundaries with them. You know that, right?"The sudden loud honk of a truck interrupted their conversation. Ferdi still wanted to talk about the concerns that were on his mind. It wasn't that he would be directly affected if the Twin Dragons were involved in trouble. But there were many things he couldn't let go of, especially when it concerned Sam.This unusual relationship between a gangster and a cop was quite out of the ordinary."I think Boss Sam has his own considerations." Hugo chuckled. "You don't need to worry.""Hopefully," Ferdi grinned thinly. He nodded, dismissing the worries that arose from the photo on his phone

"Really?" Hera could only hear a faint voice from Hugo as the surrounding noise was too loud. The impatient honking of other riders was quite annoying. Not to mention the loud rock music playing in her ears."Hold on." Hugo couldn't wait and he grabbed Hera's hand that was still on his thigh. He didn't care if Hera screamed in surprise behind him. And he received a punch again where, once again, Hugo forced Hera to hold onto him.A twist of the throttle signaled Hugo's seriousness. The red motorcycle accelerated to a high speed, leading the way among many other riders. Hera had no choice but to lower her head slightly and hold on tightly, entrusting herself to Hugo's control and his big motorcycle."Don't go too fast, Hugo!" Hera cautioned. It turned out to be quite terrifying being on Hugo's motorcycle. "I'm not ready to die young. I'm not even married yet."Hugo laughed during his acceleration. He didn't pay much attention to Hera's complaints. For him,

Beatrice knew, this balcony had once witnessed the terrifying night she endured back then. Fear, the urge to jump from the height, and leaving behind a lifeless body. But before that could happen, Beatrice's courage suddenly faltered when she noticed what awaited her below. Her mind immediately processed the thought of falling and meeting the angel of death. What if not? Sam's guard dog would never let her go so easily. Their sharp teeth would tear apart every inch of flesh covering Beatrice's body.No.She shuddered at the mere thought of it. But her choice to retreat meant she would be trapped with the owner of this four-story house. Initially, she felt her life no longer had any beauty. Snatched away forcibly, under what she considered terrifying intimidation. Not to mention, she had imagined that living with Sam would be far more tense than before.But this time, she looked at the surrounding nature from the balcony with a different feeling. The pine trees a

"What do you mean?" Beatrice asked, turning around in one swift motion. Facing her husband, who now held her tightly. Samuel's hands gripped her waist, gently pushing her against the pool's edge that was initially used as support by his wife. The cool breeze that should have reached them was no longer present.Instead, a wave of heat began to warm the water around them.Beatrice's hands tightened around Samuel's neck, closing the distance between them was the right thing for her to do. Talking right above her husband's wet lips, she did it to reciprocate what Samuel had done to her. "Why didn't you answer?""Open it," Samuel said, without hesitation, as he gently squeezed Beatrice's chest. This caught his wife by surprise, but she soon burst into laughter."It won't be visible anyway because we're in the water," Beatrice said, pushing Samuel's body slightly. She let go because sitting on the edge of the pool was not an option. A steep cliff awaited her. S
