Semua Bab They Touched What Was Mine: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Lilian was sprawled on the ground, a bodyguard's grip leaving bloody marks on her pale face. She looked up at me with a sneer."Oh, Nancy, being Ms. Yates must feel so stifling, huh? Everyone is walking all over you, and here you are, still playing the graceful lady?"I fixed my gaze on Alora's face and let out a laugh, my eyes glinting with an icy fury.In a flash, I headbutted her right on the nose.She let out a sharp cry, her face twisting in agony as she clutched at her bleeding, freshly done nose job.I whipped out a baton from my bag and swung it hard, landing a blow right between the legs of the bodyguard behind me.Spinning around, I zapped another guard on the knee with my stun baton.Before Alora could even catch her breath, I had her by the collar.With a solid bang, I slammed her against the fire hose reel on the wall."Think you can just take my stuff?"I slapped her hard across the face, once, twice, leaving her reeling, her surgically altered face warping unde

I had been overseas for a year, working on a project, yet on my very first day back in Riverton City, I found out Eric had a one-year-old boy.I was boiling with anger.Eric and I had been married for a year, and we had agreed to start a family as soon as I got back.I tried to get up, but the short cop was on me in a flash, cuffing me to a trash can. A jolt from his stun gun hit me under the chin, and my head felt like it was on fire. The can tipped, spilling trash all over me.Alora came over, her nose wrinkled in disgust.She slipped on a glove and grabbed my face, her nails digging in and leaving a trail of blood.Then, out of nowhere, the street was filled with the sound of cars slamming on their brakes.Eric hurried down the stairs, his eyes quickly taking in the mess before he rushed to Alora's side. He gently touched her shoulder, his voice dripping with concern."Alora, what's going on? Who did this to you?"Tears streamed down Alora's face as she looked up at him, he

The tall cop and his shorter partner were both pale. Their eyes widened, bodies shaking like leaves in a storm, barely able to stand.Just then, an armored truck rolled up, and the president of Crownwell Bank stepped out, tipping his hat to Ronald. "The 1.5 million dollars in cash the Yates family asked for is all set in the back.""Mr. Collins."Ronald spun to face Eric. "Both the Yates and the Stewart families have come through with the 1.5 million dollars. Nonetheless…"Ronald turned to me and said, "The piece Ms. Yates bought that got wrecked? That was Mrs. Yates' lost family heirloom, worth a cool 7.5 million bucks."Ms. Stewart's purse is one of those super rare global editions. The damage? That's gonna cost 3 million to settle."And let's not forget their medical bills, the cash for their emotional trauma, and the dough for their wasted time, all adding up to another 7.5 million."So, are you gonna pay this out of your own pocket, or is the Collins family's company footin

Eric barely moved a muscle when Lilian's gaze pinned him in place."Thinking of stepping in?"Alright, take ten hits from the stun gun for her. Aim for where they hit me. Mess up even once, and it's ten more for you."Eric stood rooted to the spot, his face drained of color. It was not until he looked down that he saw the black crest of the Stewart family under Lilian's collarbone, a symbol that even the toughest thugs in Riverton City would bow down to: the notorious King of Hell in the flesh.Lilian's guards were quick on their feet, grabbing electric batons. One cop, shivering with fear, did not move fast enough and got his jaw knocked out of place.In the blink of an eye, his name was on the police department's hit list."So, you like zapping people, do you?" Lilian snatched the baton and cranked up the juice.The jolts sent him screaming and writhing on the ground, veins popping, too pained to even cry out.Lilian jabbed the baton into the tall cop's face. "Your turn."Di
