Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

The bright lights of the arena hit Raina's face and the roar of the crowd was deafening, a giant wave of sound that made the floor vibrate under her feet. She kept her hood low, her eyes focused only on the canvas of the ring. To the world, she was Star Rivers. To herself, she was a daughter fighting for her mother’s life.As she stepped through the ropes, she saw her opponent standing in the opposite corner. Her heart slowed down, becoming cold and steady. It was Karina Smith.Karina was a nightmare in boxing gloves. They had fought twice before in smaller gyms, and both times, Karina had tried to end Raina’s career. She was taller, heavier, and famous for her brutal, illegal moves. She didn't just want to win; she wanted to break her opponents. Karina saw Raina and let out a mean, toothy grin. She pounded her gloves together, the sound echoing like a gunshot."Ladies and gentlemen!" the announcer screamed into the microphone. "In the red corner, the undefeated powerhouse... KARINA

The boxing arena was still loud and full of cheering people. Carlos was standing near the executive seats, his eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of trouble, but his phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw Raina’s name on the screen. He answered it quickly, but when he heard what she said, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately frowned with worry.Carlos didn't waste a single second, as he quickly pushed through the crowd of rich people and sponsors and headed straight for the main seat of the executive section where Maxton was still talking to three men. Maxton looked calm, but as soon as Carlos leaned in with a panicked expression, he immediately knew something was wrong and his calmness vanished."Don Maxton," Carlos whispered, his voice filled with urgency. "It’s Raina…She just called and said that she was attacked at her old apartment."Maxton’s face turned cold and he immediately stood up so fast his chair almost tipped over."Excuse me," Maxton sa

The black car roared through the gates of the Retroferd estate. Maxton didn't wait for the guards to open his door, he quickly stepped out with Raina still cradled in his arms. She looked like a broken doll, but the way she held her head showed she was far from finished. Maxton’s face was dark and his mind was filled with what he was going to do to the thugs that he had ordered Carlos to find. He wanted blood, but first, he needed to make sure Raina doesn't die while she is living under his roof.Inside the grand sitting room, a man was sitting on the huge sofa, drinking a glass of water. He is Ramirez, Maxton’s personal doctor and one of his few true friends. Ramirez had been told to come quickly, but he hadn't been told why, so he hurried over, thinking that something might have happened to Maxton.When the front doors burst open and Maxton walked in carrying a woman, Ramirez was so shocked that he actually spat his water out. pfft!!The water splashed all over the expensive rug

The heavy door to Raina’s bedroom clicked shut, and in that single second, the man who had been gentle with her disappeared. Maxton Retroferd stood in the hallway, but he didn't look like a husband anymore. He looked like a nightmare.His eyes darkened until they were like two pits of black ink. The air around him suddenly felt cold and heavy, making it hard for the nearby guards to breathe. As Maxton walked toward the basement stairs, every servant and guard he passed quickly lowered their heads. They didn't just respect him; they were terrified of the energy coming off his body. They knew what was happening…..They knew that Maxton was gone, and someone else had taken his place.In the underworld, people whispered about Maxton’s secret. He had an alter ego, a second personality that his men called "Roger." While Maxton was cold and calculating, Roger was a monster. He was extremely violent, acted like a complete psychopath, and enjoyed the sight of blood. Every time something truly t

The night air was cold, but Selene was sweating profusely and her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. She looked at Pascal, who was blocking her car door and knew she might not be able to get out of the estate.One of Maxton's major rules is absolute loyalty and he hates people who go behind his back and cause trouble for no reason. And most of all, he hated people who touched what he was obligated to protect.‘What do I do now? How the hell can I get out of this shit?! Those stupid thugs couldn't do a simple job!’ She kept asking herself questions and screaming in frustration in her mind, because she knew she was in deep trouble. If she went back to her room, she would be in deep trouble and the memory of the first time she met Maxton's alter ego, Roger, was still fresh in her mind.Just remembering it made her whole body tremble and she decided that she had to leave. ..Now!.She quickly adjusted her emotions and softened her expression. Then she looked at Pascal
