Semua Bab Married The Wrong Groom: Claimed By The Ruthless Don : Bab 31 - Bab 39

Maxton stepped out of Selene’s room, his face looking extremely cold and furious.The thing he hated most was happening right under his nose and he had no idea of it. Betrayal was a poison, and it had entered his own house without him noticing.He looked at the guard standing nearby. "Find Caleb," Maxton commanded with a cold voice that made the guard tremble. "Take him to the basement immediately!."The guard instantly nodded and hurried away. Maxton walked down the stairs, his aura was extremely cold and any one close by could feel it without even getting close. Carlos was already waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs and they didn't even need to speak, because Carlos knew that when Maxton looked this way, someone was going to pay a heavy price.By the time Maxton reached the dimly lit cold basement again, Caleb was already there. The blood of the thugs that was everywhere before, has been properly cleaned and no trace of what happened to the thugs half an hour ago was left.Th

Raina looked at Maxton standing in the doorway and her heart was still pounding from the terrifying phone call with Michael. Her eyes were red, and her hands were shaking, but she didn't want to show Maxton her weakness and she hated being seen like this. Maxton stood there, his tall frame blocking the light from the hallway. He looked at her with his dark eyes as he had heard Michael's threat but he didn't hear what led to the threats.He had also heard the fear in Raina's voice when she talked about her mother and he waited for her to tell him what was happening.But Raina didn't say a word, instead, she just stared back at him, her jaw tight and her lips pressed together stubbornly.The answer to his question was obvious as Michael was simply a monster but she had no intention of opening up to Maxton. She hated showing people her weakness and hated being pitied by anyone.Especially someone like Maxton that she barely knows anything about and had a polite relationship with.Maxton

The black SUV pulled to a smooth stop in front of Sunset Orphanage. The rusted iron gates looked the same as they had years ago just like she remembered.To anyone else, this was just a crumbling building for kids who had nowhere to go. To Raina, it was the only place in the city that felt like home and held lots of memories of her childhood, when she followed her mother for charity events.She always wondered how a person as kind and angelic like her mother, ended up with a demon like Michael."We are here," Pascal said, and his voice cold pulled me out of my thoughts. He didn't turn off the engine and just sat there, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of trouble.Raina didn't wait for him to open her door, she pushed it open herself, the hot air hitting her face as soon as she stepped down. "You can stay here and wait for me in the car, Pascal," she said, her voice dripping with boredom. "I’ll take an hour…maybe two. I’m sure you have some boring bodyguard stuff to do

The drive back to the Retroferd estate was long and quiet. Raina sat in the backseat of the black SUV, staring out the window as the other cars on the road blurred. Her mind was a mess as she hadn't fully recovered and meeting Lorenzo had taken every bit of her strength. She felt like a battery that was completely drained and the only thing she wanted right now was to crawl into her soft bed, pull the covers over her head, and sleep for a thousand years. Pascal pulled the car up to the front of the massive villa. The guards at the gate nodded as they passed, their guns glinting under the sunlight. Raina didn’t wait for Pascal to come around to open her door, she pushed the door open and stepped out, her legs feeling heavy as they touched the ground."I'm going to rest in my room, Pascal," Raina said without looking back.
