Chapter: I hate you! “I said, 'Get your hands off her!’” Lucas snarled as he pulled out his gun and pointed it straight at Matteo.“Lucas!” Kate gasped, her heart lurching in her throat as she stepped between Matteo and Lucas. “What are you doing? Drop the gun.”Seeing her stand in front of Matteo and protect him, Lucas saw red. He couldn't bear the sight of her standing beside another man and defending him. Lucas drew his gun and aimed at Matteo's leg. “I’ll give you two seconds, Kitty. Come over to my side, or I shoot him.”Kate swallowed hard as she nodded and let her feet take a step forward, slowly walking toward Lucas, her eyes trained on his gun. As she took another step, she felt someone grab her hand and pull her backward, then she felt her back hit Matteo's chest, the contact driving Lucas mad as he pulled the trigger, shooting Matteo in the leg.“Lucas, no!” Kate cried as she turned back to see Matteo fall to the ground, his face pale. She rushed toward him, holding him closely to her body as f

Chapter: Chapter 56_ Lust and Attraction When Kate pulled away from the hug and wanted to step back from Matteo, his hands went around her back, and he held her waist, his actions surprising Kate. “W-what are you doing, Matteo?" Kate asked, her breath suddenly turning labored, not from excitement like she wanted to feel, but from nervousness—or was it fear?Matteo's grip tightened around her waist, then a look of hesitation crossed his face, but it soon turned into seriousness as he gazed at her with determination in his eyes. It was now or never. With that thought in mind, he began, “Kate… You're one of the most important people to me. I’ve felt this way, even back in school, and our time here together has strengthened my feelings. When the headquarters assigned someone to be transferred here, I immediately volunteered because I thought it might bring us together again.”The thrumming of Kate's heart was all too clear as she processed Matteo's words. “You came back to the city for me?" she asked, looking at him, perplexed.

Chapter: Chapter 55_ Harm's Way“What do you mean ‘you can't find them?’ Search every nook and cranny of the city; I want both of them found in less than thirty minutes!" Lucas barked into his phone as he hung up. In frustration, he threw his phone across the room, taking his anger out on the poor device. One hour had already gone by, and his men still hadn't gotten news of Kate or her whereabouts. It was as if she had disappeared from New Dawn City. Lucas gritted his teeth in annoyance as he clenched his fists together. He was slowly losing the tiny shred of patience that was left inside him.Kate was going to hear it from him once she was found, and he would make sure she never dared to run away from him again! He would teach her a lesson she’d never forget, Lucas mused, as he continued pacing back and forth in the room.Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks when one of his men hurriedly entered and stood before him. “Boss…. We found her!” he announced, and Lucas nodded, curling his lips into a wicked smirk as his ey

Chapter: Chapter 54_ Tough Nutcracker “Er… why are you staring at me like that?” Ace asked as he shifted back slightly in his seat. ‘What has gotten him all worked up now?’ Ace wondered, glancing up at Lucas with a confused expression. Lucas balled his hands into fists, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his emerald eyes blazed with fury. “You had just one job, Ace! And you failed miserably at it. How the hell did she escape the villa without anyone seeing her?" Lucas seethed while Ace blinked at him. “W-what do you mean?" he asked. “Kate. She’s not in the house. She escaped last night. That fucking woman drugged me! I'm going to make her pay!" Lucas barked, and at that moment, it dawned on Ace as well. He looked around his surroundings and then recalled having drinks with Kate while they were having a conversation together. Was he drugged too? Of course he was! How in the world would he explain the nagging headache he was having, and what was he doing in the dining room so early in the morning? Ace mused silently. “D

Chapter: Chapter 53_ Different People Kate's heart pounded in her chest, as she rose from her seat, and moved towards the door, her steps light and cautious. She glanced back at Ace one last time, then swallowed a lump in her throat as she turned away, and slipped out of the living room and into the hallway, her mind racing.Kate walked cautiously until she was at the door’s entrance, then she looked back, her ears straining for any sound that might indicate she had been discovered. She didn't know why she hadn't come across any of Lucas's men that patrol in the hallway around nights like this, but for whatever reason they were not present, Kate was grateful for that. She slowly turned the knob of the door, and pushed the door open, then walked outside and closed the door behind her.Outside, the cold night air grazed Kate's cheek. She paused, taking a deep breath to steady herself. She squinted her eyes to look at the gigantic metal gate standing between her and her freedom, and Kate bit her lips as she wondered how she

Chapter: Chapter 52_ Birthday Suit ‘How do I get the pill now?’ Kate mused, as she held the wine tightly in her hand, and then she froze when she realized that she was still wrapped in a towel. ‘Oh my God! How did I forget that?’ Kate said in her mind, as she dropped the wine bottle back on the kitchen counter and paced around the room. She took deep breaths, as she pondered on her next step of actions. She walked back toward the kitchen door, and poked her head out to call out to Ace while hiding her body from his view. “Hey, Ace. I was wondering if I could get back to my room, and find something appropriate to wear. I— I don't feel comfortable like this with you.” Ace, who had been sitting leisurely on the dining table while he waited for Kate, turned his head toward her. And when he realized that she was putting on nothing except a towel that was wrapped around her, a blush crept up his cheek, and he quickly turned away from her. He coughed, and said to her, "Lucas will murder me if he finds out I was with you in
