Chapter 0200
In the hallway outside the VIP room, Gael called out, “Amber!”
Gael raced toward Amber, his face flushed with heat and his eyes blazing with unmasked desire. “It’s
just us now, so let’s cut to the chase.
“Do you dream of the Chesire family making it big in Province Town? It’s a cutthroat place, and your
family doesn’t stand a chance on its own. I can lend a hand, but let’s be real-nothing in life is free.”
His eyes wer
were practically drooling as he edged closer to Amber. “Come on, you’re a married woman, not some
untouched maiden. What’s one night with me going to cost you?”
The moment the words left his mouth, he could not hold back and threw himself at her.
“Gael!”
Amber jumped back, her face turning a furious shade of steel. “Out of respect for our past as

in fighting!”
Incredible skills in fighting?
Gael, missing his mark, moved in closer, his eyes burning hotter. “What’s he trained in? Pillow talk?
He’s no match for me! I hit the gym every day. I’ve charmed at least eight trainers, and I promise you’ll
be more than happy with my moves in bed!”
“Disgusting!”
Amber was livid, her chest rising and falling with anger. “Gael, I thought you genuinely wanted to help
me break into Province Town, but this was your game? You’re so twisted and low, I can’t believe I ever

you!”
With that, she wanted nothing more to do with that monster and turned to head for the private room.
“Think you can just walk away?!”
Gael was rooted to the spot, his gaze locked onto Amber’s waist. The alcohol started fueling his
obsession, his eyes bloodshot with desire. “You have no idea how long I’ve been into you since our
college days. I have my chance now, and I’m not leaving without making you mine.”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than he lunged at her from behind, arms outstretched, and
pulled her into a crushing embrace,
*Back off!”
Amber was ready for him, spinning around with her hands shoving hard against his chest, her voice
laced with panic and fury. “Gael, back off now, or Alex will come after you!”
“You think Alex can stop me? Ha!” Gael’s laugh was cruel, his eyes wild. “That ex-soldier? I’ve been
hitting the gym. I could take him down with my eyes closed!”
He pushed her against the wall with brute force, his lips seeking her neck in a rough kiss.

Amber’s slight frame was no match for Gael’s strength. Tears spilled over as she screamed for help,
her voice reaching out to the distant private room.
“Alex, save me!”
The private room was alive with song and laughter. Amber’s former classmates were in high spirits,
drinking. joking, and singing their hearts out. The mood was electric.
Alexander was all smiles, beer in hand, watching the playful scene, occasionally chuckling to himself,
thoroughly enjoying the night.
“Alex, save me…”
The music was thunderous, but above it all, Alexander’s keen ears picked up Amber’s desperate plea.
“Is Amber in trouble?!”
In that split second, Alexander’s expression hardened. The beer bottle in his hand was forgotten as his
legs coiled and sprung, launching him over the coffee table with a swift whoosh and out the door.
Crash!
The solid wood door of the private room splintered under his force as he charged down the corridor,
drawn by the distant cries.
