With bloodshot eyes, his heart beating fast, he walked toward them in quick strides. Astrid's hands didn’t sense the coming danger, her eyes were unfocused, and there was a smile playing on her lips. Ryan’s face twisted in a mixture of disgust and rage; he could feel his fist clenching at the sight. He tried his best to keep his cool, but it was a losing battle. When he got there, he didn’t say a word. With a swift movement, he grabbed Astrid’s wrist, his fingers wrapping tightly around it as he pulled her away from the other man. “What the heck!” the man exclaimed in annoyance. He was about to succeed. “What's your problem?” he barked, but Krax paid no attention to him. Astrid, who had suddenly been pulled away, looked up at the man in confusion. She stared at him, trying to find anything familiar, but she didn’t seem to recall anything. “Let go of me! Who the heck are you?” Astrid said in a defensive tone, trying to break free from his grip. The grey-haired man spok

At Don't Mind Your Husband's club, the ladies continued to gulp one drink after the other.Mia lunged forward, her hand flailing as she tried to touch Astrid's hair, nearly collapsing into her friend’s shoulder. “You’re strong… If it were me…” She paused, gripping her glass tightly. “I’d already be in jail.”Astrid sighed, exhaustion and bitterness etched in her expression. “Fuck them all. They’ll pay for this,” she muttered, raising her middle finger in the air.Mia squinted at the last bottle of Kiss, her shaking hand fumbling as she tried to pour it into the glass. “Where’s… that glass?” she mumbled, blinking hard to focus.Astrid’s words slurred as she reached for the glass. “My dear friend, this is the fourth bottle you've ordered. Don’t get too drunk, or else we might sleep here.”Mia shook her head, slurring her words. “D…on’t… worry, dear friend… even if I take ten bottles, I can still get you home. I got your back.”Astrid grabbed a bottle of Smirnoff, sniffing the air as a t

Josh's heart skipped a beat when he saw the caller. He took a deep breath to sound normal. "B-Boss," he said, trying to hide the panic in his tone. "Josh, I hope all is well," Krax said, noticing the tense in Josh’s voice. When Josh realized his boss could sense the uneasiness, he swallowed hard. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down. "N-nothing, B-Boss," he stammered. His legs grew weak as he failed to conceal it anymore. "Josh, you better tell me what's going on before I find out myself," Krax said in a cold, threatening tone. His chilly voice sent shivers down Josh's spine, making his hands tremble. "Uhm... the lady you asked me to look after... she escaped," Josh said, almost dropping the phone with his shaky hands. Suddenly, the line went silent. Josh held his breath, not daring to wake the sleeping lion. After a couple of seconds, he wondered why it was quiet. He shifted the phone from his ear to check if his boss had hung up. The call was still connected. "Boss..."

Josh followed behind Astrid. He stared at the beautiful woman, and many things were going through his mind. He wondered what his boss was thinking and what made him pay special attention to her. Astrid kept walking, glancing back and forth as her eyes scanned the environment, searching for an escape route. “Here might not be the best place to escape," she murmured. Her tone wasn't low, so Josh heard her speaking. “Are you talking to me, miss?" Josh asked. “No, no," Astrid shook her head and continued moving forward. As they were walking, Astrid saw a pregnant woman supported by her husband. The man held his wife gently. You could see the smile in his eyes as he shined with happiness. The man rubbed his hands on the woman's belly and said something only the two could hear. When Astrid saw them, the scene made her stop in her tracks. She was immersed in the scene and felt sad, and the memories she had been trying hard to hide flooded her thoughts. It's so beautiful.

Krax could see the hatred in Astrid's eyes. Her piercing blue eyes made her look incredibly adorable. With the file his assistant had sent him, he could see that the woman had really suffered. But wait—did she really kill her brother-in-law? If so, what could have driven her to do that? Interesting, this is really interesting, he thought to himself while studying the woman who looked so innocent. She didn't seem like a killer. As he remained immersed in his thoughts, Astrid snapped out of hers and noticed Krax’s intense gaze fixed on her. She instinctively touched her face, wondering if something was wrong. “What?” she asked, annoyed, after realizing there was nothing out of place. Krax said nothing. Instead, he shifted his gaze from her and stared at the IV drip attached to her hand with an expressionless face. “You’re going to stay here for a week. We’ll talk about everything after you’re fully healed,” he said firmly. Astrid was stunned. “A full week? Are you kidding me? Wh

Astrid was stunned; the man smelled so good that she couldn’t help but inhale deeply. Gosh, he smells of saffron and bergamot, she thought, her senses momentarily overwhelmed. She was mesmerized by his striking features. She looked up at him, meeting his cold, detached eyes. He looked as though he had stepped out of a timeless painting, too perfect to belong to the real world. “What a fucking handsome dude,” she almost said aloud but managed to catch herself just in time. The man, meanwhile, seemed equally taken aback. The woman in his arms was stunning. Her piercing blue eyes held a depth that stirred something unfamiliar in him—an inexplicable urge to protect her. But the moment quickly shattered. Snapping back to reality, his expression hardened, and he pushed her away abruptly. Astrid staggered but caught herself. She hadn’t expected this sudden rejection and felt her already weak body wobble. “If you didn’t want to save me, you should’ve just let me fall,” she mut
