Teal's stomach clenched hard as malevolent butterflies flapped through it from his crude barbaric words, and the friction that followed on her cl-ît.

She let go of his covk already, and now she's staring at it.

She knew he was huge, right from the time she held him thinking it was a gun, but seeing it for the first time actually feels more intimidating than she had expected.

He's not just veiny, but mighty, and as she took another long look at his shaft with broken, berated breaths, she felt her chest tightening on nothing, and her impatient core got sinfully wetter.

Four raised two hands to her chest, cupping the puckering breàsts and giving her nîpples wicked twists.

She bit her lip hard, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.

The pleasure kicked in the moment his hands touched those boobies.

His twists on her nîpples only got more wicked, and she doesn't dislike the way her body reacts to it.

The way her body loves it—his harshness.

She can't get enough, and that look in his eyes as he watched her moan, she could watch it all night.

She likes when he pays attention to details like this—details about her.

Her juices coated her inner thighs generously, wrenching reckless sensations out over there.

She's madly soaked, and aching.

"F+...k" she made an unintelligible sound when he did the n+pple twist again, making her body overstimulated than it was.

The fresh scent of the new mansion wafted, and her n+pples turned red in his long hands.

She loves when he plays with her br+àsts, just that she's getting impatient and her stomach is clenching on nothing.

"Anyone ever touched your aching br+àsts this sensually?" His voice came with a low ripple.

"What if there's someone? You'd find him and kill him?" She answered, and his hands went down between her legs slap her p+xxy face.

"Geez...ahh!" She grinded herself against his hand for more friction, but she met emptiness cos his hands were already gone.

"That's what you get when you talk like that. Anyone ever touched my br+àsts this way? Hmm?" He traced his fingers up her belly, and she hollowed as her head bounced back again, her legs already shivering.

"No...one." She m+aned.

"Good," he kissed her neck..."And I'm the only one who can elicit these dirty, sinful m+ans from you... just the way you have the witchy ability to turn me on every damn time..." 

"Yes..." She m+aned again.

His hands got replaced by his hot tongue when he arrived at her throat.

He kissed up to her chin, below her lips, but he didn't reach her lips before pulling away, the heat rolling off them so tensive.

He looked down at her wet p+xxy, smirking sickly before flicking her cl+ît apart.

"Hmm...all drippy and ready for me."

"Same with you,... you're rock-hard." She grinded against his hand again, and he withdrew it intentionally.

"Eros stop... just...

Her voice broke as her ears exploded in flakes.

The hunger inside her own words scared her, but she doesn't care. At this point...

She doesn't. 

She just needs something. Anything at all to fill the void.

"Just what?"Four's tempting voice hit her anticipating skin as he bent over to kiss her breàsts.

"I have no patience left,,"

"Me neither," he murmured into her ear before lifting her from the glass table.

She didn't have time to look around the house, measure the wall lengths and calculate the footings.

No time to take note of the furnishings, railings, floorings or ceilings, cos in the next one minute, they're already in the master bedroom upstairs, and her body hit the soft mattress roughly.

Her legs spread readily in bed, she opened them wide.

Four palmed her hips, his massive body hovering above her as he rubbed his dîck head on her slick entrance.

She sucked in a sharp breath when he dragged it all the way over her folds and against her cl+ît before going back again.

He did it a few times...

Up.

Down.

Rub.

Up.

Down.

"F+ck ff+ck. . ." Her m0ans shattered uncontrollably as her head did a dizzy mixture of sensations, unable to take the torture anymore.

"Eros. . ."

"Impatient, Asteri?" 

"Stop torturing us. . .f+ck—ahhhh

Her words were abruptly cut short when he sheathed himself inside her in one savage go, his groin slapping against her arse with the force of it.

Her eyes turned, and she choked on the air as it's wiped out of her lungs. Her fingers turned white and clammy as she tangled them on the bedspread, and the galaxy rallied across her vision.

He's so f+çking huge she could feel him everywhere inside her, all around her, on top of her.

He's not even moving, but the feel of him inside pushes her over the edge over and over again...

Then he started moving, slowly at first, but it's so deep she could feel her walls expanding around him.

"You're so tight, Teal," he strained hoarsely. "So fuckin perfect."

It feels so good—insanely good.

The feeling is rawly new, but the freeness it's digging inside her head is liberating. Like she's flying in an air balloon with him.

Their eyes hooked, and she caught that soft look again, photographing it inside her memory 

Her heartbeats roared in her head as he upped his speed, hitting a secret part inside her that she didn't know existed. 

"Ahhh. . . . Eros . . ." Her br+àsts did s+ductive bounces on her chest, and they're starting to ache again...

"You feel that? Asteri?" The heat of his voice bloodied her.

"Yes. . .yes. . .I never. . .never. . .ahh. ." She trailed off as he hit that spot again then pulled her legs further apart to reach it fully.

"You never what?"

"Never. . .felt this way before. . ." She moaned.

And it's not because of the sharp pang of pleasure that comes with each of his thrusts, or how he takes complete hold of her.

It's about how a ruthless man like him is able to elicit such strong emotions from her. How he hasn't only entered her body but is also forcing entry into her soul.

"And you'll never feel this with anyone else. From now on, note that I'll kill any man who as much as looks at you. I hate eyes on what's mine." He rasped, voice deep.

"Goes both ways, don't dare look at any other woman or I'll kill you." She yanked his hair, and her legs went around his waist as his thrusts turned unyielding and unforgiving.

He rammed inside her with a renewed force which rattled the bed and rearranged her insides.

He hit that spot again, and she screamed a voice she never knew she possessed. It's so long and raw, like standing at the peak of a mountain and screaming her lungs out to her heart's content.

And just like that... she's free. 

Four powered inside her over and over, never slowing down.

Just like he promised, he fuçked her so hard.

Submerging waves were triggered, transporting her to an alternate space.

She couldn't fight it if she wanted to, she she doesn't even want to, cos now she feels wild and free like she has never felt all her entire life. He drove her insane as if the world doesn't exist beyond that bed.

"Eros. . .Eros. . ." She chanted, and his handsome face drove into hers ...

"Moan it again,my name."

"Eros. . ." She managed a whisper as her eyes clashed with his. They're dark, but with sparkles of lust which mirrors hers.

It's so strong that she tasted it in the small space between them. 

"You'll never say anyone's name in that tone again. . ." His raw possessiveness registered for a second before he rubbed her cl-ît, and she fell apart.

This time, he used her hair to drag her face close and clashed his mouth on her aching lips, plunging his tongue inside. 

He twirled it against hers with the same rhythm he's f+ckin her.

She's delirious, the triple stimulation undid her.

She has no idea if she'd get back from this one, but she fell anyways.

It's as delicious as much as it's dangerous.

Her eyes drooped when he scooped her up into his arms, his tongue at the back of her throat and his covk ramming into her with the harshness of a daredevil.

He pounded her like his biggest feat, so deep and merciless.

He went rigid and grunted in her mouth as his warmth filled her insides and then trickled down her thighs when he pulled out of her.

Their lips separated, swollen and wet as their eyes mirrored again. Their lust still stayed dissatisfied behind their lids. She can't even feel her legs. 

Is it still part of her body? 

She feels like a jellyfish in the arms of this man, and the reality that she just lost her virginity in the most unexpected way ever hit her.

He took it all.

Her fingers traced the scar on his back, and he went still on top of her as she caressed it, tracing the slits.

"How did you get it? Why is it this big?" She whispered.

Four brushed her hair away from her eyes and nuzzled his nose close to her hair, sniffling her in.

"I'm not talking about a ugly scar after I just finished fuckin your pretty cûnt."

"Then when are you gonna talk about it? Don't keep secrets from me." She touched his jawline with a dominating trace.

"Soon enough," he tilted up.

"Would you like to shower first?" 

"Why?" She breathed.

"Cos I'm f+ckin you again." He tirelessly declared.

Goosebumps erupted on Teal's skin, and he smirked devilishly.

[Aphrodite Hall, Third Floor]

Axel and Cassie are already walking down the aisle. 

Their wedding was the last to start, and it's the only one with zero obstacles as that third floor is the last floor, and it's disconnected from the other floors.

There are several armies from the base who attended in their uniforms just to get Axel's favor as the incoming General.

Cassie is the happiest woman on earth, and her smile is contagious.

Her wedding with Kash was tasteless with the cheap ring and venue, but this? It's top tier.

She definitely can't wait to get to be addressed as Mrs. DeVille.

Allegra is in the crowd too, and she has an amused look on her seat as she watched the weird show.

Cassie and Axel?

She wouldn't have guessed it, but she should have noticed it from when she met Cassie by the front door of Axel's suite the other time.

Now everything just dawned, but she feels nothing. She has Quentin now anyways.

Last time she checked, Axel hates Kash to the core, so doing this with his ex-wife only means he's spiting Kash, and this fool Cassie knows nothing.

Plus Axel is a chronic abuser, so Cassie is gonna cry blood later, and she can't wait for the blood flow.

She stood from her seat and began clapping loudly.

"Happy Married life Axel and Cassie DeVille!!!"

The armies diverted their attention to her, and she smiled large, her applause continuing.

Cassie glared at her beside Axel, then she held Axel tighter till they got to the front where they took vows and exchanged rings.

Allegra left the hall first, but the new couple departed before the rest of the armies began departing too.

They left for the dressing room, and Cassie kept admiring the ring in her finger greedily. It's a big diamond stone and it's heavily expensive.

"Thanks for making one of my lifelong dreams come true." She faced Axel who smiled at her.

"Now you know the difference between a wedding, had the nonsense you dud with Kash.

"Of course," she nodded, hugging him.

"But why did your mum not come?" She said.

"You're aware he only sees Four, right?" He replied, and she pulled away from him slowly.

"I'm sure she regrets giving birth to another child after Four, I'm just a spare and if I die, she's probably do thanksgiving and then go ahead to replicate Four's lookalike on a petri dish." He said.

"Sorry you have to go through this pain of betrayal from your pen mother. Just know that I'm always here for you." She assured.

"And you're becoming the General on new year's day, so you should be happy. Once that happens, you can chase your foolish mum and brother out of the base..." She suggested.

"That's for sure," he laughed.

"And what are you gonna do to April? She didn't sabotage the mission like you asked. Skye died so maybe she should follow." She said.

"Oh... Cassie. You're brilliant. I should have fucked you earlier." Axel laughed again.

An army suddenly rushed into the room uninvited, and Cassie nearly shoved her nails into his eyes, but the news he brought stopped her.

"Incoming General, the first and second wedding didn't take place, both scattered." He reported.

"I never expected Four's wedding to go through, is the Marquis insane to think he can actually trap him with her daughter? That bastard has never listened to anyone right from time." Axel shrugged.

"But the second wedding...Teal has no right to turn down the President's son, so what happened?" Cassie asked.

"Teal disappeared from the wedding hall and was replaced with Paine disguised in a wedding dress. It was a strange biker who replaced Four. Both Four and Teal are nowhere to be found." The army explained.

"That bastard brother of mine has never been fascinated about puxxy, I wonder what's in Teal's." Axel grumbled.

"There's more," the army furthered.

"More?" Cassie and Axel chorused.

"The biker who represented Four played a video featuring you and Hera during your elementary school period. You both were fuckin in a toilet." The army reported.

Axel's arms dropped, and Cassie slapped her palm over her mouth.

"What!"

"Yes, the Marquis got totally disgraced in front of his guests, and Hera fainted. She was taken away on a stretcher." 

"You f+cked Hera?" Cassie faced Axel.

Axel didn't reply, he just dipped his fingers into his mouth.

So this is it. The reason Four suddenly changed to him. The reason for his switch.

He saw them in the toilet that day, and he has been keeping quiet since then? That devil.

Four has to leave the base as fast as possible. Immediately he becomes General, he has to make Four leave the base that same day.

"You fuçked Hera in elementary? Meaning you both were like 10 or 11 year olds back then." Cassie's question broke into his mind again, and he faced her.

"You're not denying it? Seriously? That's insane and actually—"

"Shut up, Cassie. You're not in any place to judge me. You're the same person who let go of your husband to marry me!" Axel slammed her shut, and she gulped as he left the room.

The army left with him, and Cassie sat on a chair, rubbing her own chest.

"He's just angry for now, he'll calm down soon." She consoled herself, smiling.

"Yeah, the wedding preparations were stressful so his crankiness is understandable."

[President's Mansion]

The moment Xanthe got back, he guy himself an extra large bowl of ice cream, and he didn't even bother entering his room.

He stayed in the living room, eating as President Spyros crashed out in the presence of Mrs. Katerina, the maids and butlers lining on the staircase.

"There were important people who look up to me in the country! There were billionaires who take me as their role model! There were people!!! And he chose to disgrace me there? He choose the hard way? Me?" President Spyros took off his suit, throwing it off.

Mrs. Katerina quickly picked it, then she stepped away and bowed without saying a thing.

Xanthe just continued eating his cream, looking unconcerned about the whole crash.

"Don't wait for another minute," Spyros faced Mrs. Katerina. "Get me the military General nomination documents, I'm rewriting the statement."

"It's impossible right now, sir." Mrs. Katerina looked up.

"What do you mean impossible?"

"You clearly told me three days ago that the date and decision is unchangeable. You stamped the documents and I sent them to the decision makers office headed by the Head of security, and they know you never twist words, so If you're gonna change it you'll have to call a meeting and a poll would be pushed out for votes. People in the Security Section like him, so there's no point cos he'd surely win." Mrs. Katerina explained.

President Spyros left the room, and Mrs. Katerina took a deep breath before sitting beside Xanthe.

"You're probably the happiest right now." 

"You can say that again," he nodded.

"But don't get too happy, this won't end well. Mr. President is darker than you think, and Four's life would be in danger in the future no matter how strong he is." Mrs. Katerina said.

Xanthe dropped his ice cream bowl and faced her, "What do you mean?"

"Trust me, you don't wanna get involved in this dark case." Mrs. Katerina stood.

"Was dad in love with late Rue Ambrose?" Xanthe asked, standing up  too.

Mrs. Katerina looked back quickly, eyes wide.

"What are you talking about? There was no such thing! He was and is still in love with your late mother!"

"Then explain the pictures of Rue Ambrose in the hidden room!" Xanthe yelled.

"He's her fan!" Mrs. Katerina spat, the argument getting louder.

"Explain the ones in the other hidden room then. Pictures of Vaughn with knives stuck in his eyes in each frame!" Xanthe yelled.

Mrs. Katerina went silent as if compelled, and Xanthe scoffed.

"You wanna be a mother figure to me? Then try and tell the truth without gatekeeping anything, but if you keep this act up, I'll find out everything by myself even if it means cooperating with Four!" 

He left her there, and Mrs. Katerina rushed off too, going in search of the president.

Meanwhile, President Spyros is at the circus, pacing around in just his dress shirt.

His palms are fisted, and he sat when it got to a point, but a minute later, he spranged back to his feet.

He leaned his palms on the wall, remembering the past.

        • UNN College, Years Ago •

Medical practical class ended minutes ago, and the students are currently pouring out of the LH, chatting about the just-concluded class.

UNN isn't like the normal colleges, it's an ivy league college with unmatched records of successful graduates, so only the crazily rich gets the opportunity to attend, but there's a yearly scholarship program for middle-class people, and they take in five students yearly.

Rue and Vaughn got admitted with scholarship, not only because they're brilliant but also because they're friends with Spyros and Katerina.

Spyros and Katerina are one of the richest students in the institution, especially Spyros, so being friends with the two since highschool gave them unlimited opportunities.

Even during highschool, Vaughn and Rue still attended the best highschool with scholarship, thanks to Spyros.

They all decided to study medicine together in college too, and the 4 are like the aces of their faculty.

They're part of the people who just came out of the medical class, and they're chatting closely as they walked the hallway.

Vaughn's hand is held by Rue since he's blind, and he's just following her lead with his black shades in his eyes.

"Who do you think is gonna have the best project work among us?" Katerina posed the question.

"Vaughn!" Rue and Spyros chorused.

"Now, guys. Don't flatter me." Vaughn replied with a big smile.

"What do you mean don't flatter you? I wish I had your kinda brain, my life would be rosy. How are you blind and still the most brilliant medical student? Tell me, you're not really blind, are you?" Spyros said.

"Don't just start," Vaughn replied, and Spyros laughed with Katerina.

"Should we go eat at a restaurant first?" Rue asked.

"Veggies." Spyros suggested.

"You and your love for veggies, urg! I hate it!" Rue said. She's a short woman but very beautiful with her curly hair and round face.

Spyros was staring very much at her as she spoke.

"Everyone will eat what they want, and that's settled." Katerina cut in.

"I need to go pee, first." Vaughn took his hand from Rue.

"You can't go alone." Rue blinked.

"I only have to take twenty steps to get to the closest male restroom so calm down. I should be doing things on my own at times. Blindness isn't weakness." Vaughn said.

"Fine, if you don't return in five minutes, I'll come for you." Rue checked her wristwatch, and Vaughn left, holding the walls till he disappeared down the hall.

"I forgot my anatomy handout in the lecture hall, geez!" Katerina complained, rushing back into the class for it.

Now it's just Rue and Spyros in the hallway, and Spyros smiled.

"I've warned you severally, Spyros. Don't flash me that smile. I and Vaughn started dating from highschool and you're aware, so I don't understand your sudden interest in me." Rue said.

"Vaughn is blind, we can even fûck in front of him without his knowledge. He's as good as dead." Spyros chuckled, and his face was kissed by Rue's palm.

She slapped him hard, his books fell.

"Rue?" He held his face.

"Never...talk about Vaughn like that anymore. Ever!" She spat.

                 • Present Time •

President Spyros sighed, sitting down again.

Mrs. Katerina entered the circus with the intention of telling him that Xanthe has found out about his obsession with Rue, but she changed her mind in the last minute.

She just stood in front of the man, and he looked at her questioningly.

"Are you ok sir?" She spoke.

"Prepare the swearing in ceremony at the outdoor platform as planned." Spyros replied, his unseen intentions so dark.

"Yes sir." Mrs. Katrina replied.

[Zeus Hospital]

Just like the President, the Marquis is restless, and he can't even put his butt on a chair to rest.

Hera is in bed, and though she's conscious, she's still in tears, and her eye sockets are swollen red. Her wedding dress is still on, and the front is damp with her waterworks.

There are guards at standby on each corner of the room, silently guarding.

"How dare you, Here! How dare you disgrace me that way! There were countless royals and zillionaires who look up to me and bow to me everytime we cross paths, but then you chose that venue to drag me down?"

"Father, I swear it was a mistake! I didn't knowingly do that with Axel but he sugarcoated his words and tripped me!" Hera got down from the bed quickly.

"You were 11, Hera! He was 10! How could you both? How could you both!! You were kids!!!" The old man grabbed her shoulders, shaking her.

"You were minors, how could you!"

"I swear I wasn't thinking! I wanted to have sèx with Eros but he kept declining, saying we were too young. Then I talked to another boy and he blinded him and tattooed me! After that, he became even more strict with me, and the way I had no boy to satisfy my cravings made me grow desperate. Axel came to me and said he'd make me feel exactly what Eros would make me feel since they're brothers, and agre—

The old man pushed her away before she could land, and she fell back to the bed.

"You had no boy to satisfy your cravings? You were already getting séxual cravings at the age of 11? Hera!!"

"Father I'm so sorry." She quickly went on her knees, rubbing her palms together.

"Please forgive me! I'm so sorry I was thoughtless. Please I can't lose Eros this way. It was a mistake and I'm willing to do anything to get him back! Please help me father!!"

She crawled to him, held his legs and began crying on his skin.

Before he could reply, Lady Yulia entered the ward with poised stance, her small black bag looking poised in her hand. She's wearing a black flowing gown too, black shoes and the hat.

She has been dressing all black since Pedro's death.

"You and your daughter," she faced the Marquis, her voice stinging.

"Never get your faces in front of my son ever again! Or I'll make you lose everything you have in this upcoming blood spill, including your position as the Marquis, and your lives!" She threatened.

"Your son defiled my daughter at such a young age, you shouldn't even be able to talk!" The Marquis claimed.

"They defiled each other, they used each other. They dirtied each other!" Lady Yulia yelled.

"Woman!!" The Marquis yelled.

"Old man!!!" She yelled back, coming closer. She's naturally tall, but with her heels? She's looking at the bald middle of the man's head.

"You're lucky I'm the one who came to you, cos if it was Giant spider himself, you'd be dead by now for trying to sign him off to your whoring daughter!" 

She grinned evilly.

"But he has no time to spare you, cos he's currently with the woman he actually cares about, the only daughter-in-law I'll ever take!"

Hera cried harder.

"Yulia—" The Marquis gritted.

"You can take Axel and kill him. Roast him, burn him, fry or barbeque him. I don't care! But you will stay away from my first son!"

A dry smile followed...

"We'll see at the swearing in ceremony."

Then she walked out of the ward.

The Marquis stood there, looking spelled.

"No dad! It can't be over! Dad..." Hera kept crying at his feet.

He faced his head guard.

"Call the President." He ordered.

[A High-end Restaurant]

The armies got free outing cards today since it's the base triple wedding, so after they left the ruined wedding, most of them didn't go back to the base immediately.

They're free to be out before 12am and It's 10pm right now.

They still have an hour to ball.

Rook and the others came here for a meal, and they've been chatting over their plates of food ever since.

"I should have noticed when she asked for an height mate." Shannon said after lowering her cup of lemonade from her lips.

"But Paine? How did they convince this bastard?" Rook laughed.

"I got a call from Snowman and I couldn't turn him down cos I'm not ready to die, so just shut up." Paine replied, putting fire on a cigar.

"You need to see the laughter I rolled into when I saw him in that white dress. And the lashes." Brent grinned.

"I said stop..." Paine glared, smoking, but Brent's laughter just got louder with Shannon.

Theo is on that same table, but he's silent, and Rook sat as far from him as possible.

April snatched the cigar from Paine tossing it away...

"No smoking, you didn't read the notice board outside?" She rolled eyes.

"Obediently boring." Paine scoffed.

"So you're returning to detention when we get to base?" Shannon asked Rook.

"Of course, I was allowed to attend the wedding only because Battery is my bestie." Rook shrugged.

He saw Theo staring at him, but he gave zero fûcks about his eyes.

"The wedding that exploded," April said, and they all bursted into laughter again.

"I heard only the third floor wedding went well. So Cassie went from Norris to Graham and now DeVille? She's unbelievably stupid." Brent said.

"You can say that again, I'm so ashamed" Shannon covered her face with her palms.

"And the sèx video? Sex in elementary school? That's crazy work, Axel and Hera should just get married. Hera would look good as the second wife." April said..

"You just said my mind," Rook supported.

"I have something interesting about Cassie and everyone of you, but I'll only release it when the time is right. Maybe after the swearing in ceremony. I'm still waiting to see if it'd really be Axel." Paine said.

Everyone turned to him.

"Something interesting about everyone?" Rook and Brent chorused.

"Wait for the future." Paine sighed.

"Theo you've not been talking." April nudged him.

"I'm fine," he replied, his fingers curled into balls on his laps under the table.

"You don't look fine, you look like you cried." April observed.

Rook instantly looked at him. Truly, there are faint streaks.

"I'm really fine," Theo stood.

"I'll be outside"

He left the restaurant, and Rook immediately stood too.

"Need to go attend to that baby, else he might start crying outside again." He said.

"Go, go." Shannon patted him.

Paine picked another cigar stick to smoke after Rook left, but it was snatched by Brent this time.

"April said you can't smoke, you bastard." He glared.

Paine made to snatch it back from him, but another person joined their table.

They moved their necks at the same time, beholding Sergeant Kash who's smiling brightly.

"Sergeant Kash!" They chorused.

[Four's Private Mansion, 12am]

The smell of s+x still lingered thickly in the air, and the entrance of the mansion is still layered with shredded wedding dress and suit, p+nties and boxers.

They were too tired after the second and third round of deep s+x which lasted longer at each round.

Four and Teal lay tangled around each in bed, their eyes are closed under the small dull lights.

They're still n+ked under the duvet, and their skins are exchanging sweet heats.

They slept off an hour ago, but Four is not sleeping. His eyes are just closed, and he's listening to the sound of her fast heartbeats as she dozed.

She gets fast heartbeats whenever she's asleep, and he likes the sound of it as she lay on his chest, deeply asleep.

It's the first time in his life he'd ever allow a woman in his arms. First time he'd pick something peculiar to like about a woman. First time he'd f+ck someone.

Yes, that was his first, and there'll still be more and more to come cos this woman in his arms might be a hardhead, but she's addictive, and she has no idea.

His chin did the jutt as he peered down to look at her through his thick lashes. Only half her eyes are closed as usual, and a small smile pulled his lips, so small but beautiful.

His decision today would only make things messy, he knows that ... But he did it with readiness for any outcome that might pop out.

So far he's alive, this woman remains protected. Not because she's a woman, but because she's his woman.

It's only the start of the fight between him, Usman, The Marquis, The President, whoever killed his father and whoever gave him this ugly scar.

There's a lot to fight for, but in all, this woman in his arms remains unscathed. Even if she's gonna get hurt, he'd be the one to hurt her by himself. Make her bleed any colour he likes.

She stirred in his arms, and her eyes opened more, her thin lips grazing his chest.

"You good, Asteri?" He whispered, stroking her breàsts.

She nodded once, snuggling closer into his skin.

Their phones rang at the same time beside the pillows.

Four stretched his hand to take the two, handing her her one phone.

Jason Biker is the one calling Four, but 'Uncle Paul' flashed brightly on Teal's screen.

They picked at the same time.

"I'm busy with my wife, keep whatever it is till tomorrow." Four told Jason.

"I'm busy with my husband, and I'll be busy forever." Teal told the uncle.

They both hung up at the same time.
