Having never been rejected by a woman, rage and shame consumed Tyler. He gripped Tatiana’s wrist, demanding. “What did you just do, Tatiana? You think you’re some rich heiress who can mess around as she pleases?”
“Let me go… Let me go, Tyler!” Tatiana cried, trying to escape from his grip.
“Heh… this is part of your act too, isn’t it, Tatiana? I’ve seen so many girls like you who try to sleep up to the top.”
Tyler hooked an arm around her waist, his grin turning devious. “You don’t want your future ruined, do you? You’d be spoilt for choices if you are mine.”
Tyler said, “Isn’t this what you wanted? You can stop the act now.”
Tyler then pressed Tatiana up against a tree trunk and leaned in to kiss her.
“No!” Tatiana screamed, closing her eyes as tears began falling from them.
Suddenly, a loud yelp was heard, followed by Tyler cursing, “F***!”
Slowly, Tatiana opened her eyes. She saw a familiar figure standing before her, deftly throwing
Tyler over his shoulder.
Sean then knelt down, grabbed Tyler’s lapel, and began punching his face repeatedly.
Frightened, Tatiana cried, “Stop! Stop it!”
She ran up to Sean to grab him so he would stop hitting Tyler. She was scared Sean would actually kill the boy.
“You … How dare you? Do you have any idea who I am?” Tyler grunted out weakly, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He glared at Sean, yelling, “My dad is Crowley Corp’s President! Hit me again, and I’ll make your life hell!”
“The name’s Sean Lynch, from Belbanks.” Sean’s voice was tinged with anger.
Still, he forced himself to calm down, then wrapped his suit around Tatiana. It pained him to see her so scared. He gently gathered her in his arms, and the latter instantly felt at ease.
“Hear this well, dog. Don’t ever put your filthy hands on Tatiana again, or not even Alistair Crowley.
can save you!”
Tyler ended up scrambling away for his life.
Tatiana cleaned herself up in a nearby washroom. Sean was there by the door when she came out, waiting for her worriedly.
“Sean…”
Sean met her eyes, shooting a warm smile in her direction. “Ms. Tatiana.”
Tatiana’s heart ached when she realized he was back to being formal. She went up to him and pulled the coat off her shoulders. “Here, your coat. Thank you.”
“We can’t let what happened today stand, Ms. Tatiana. I will report this to Ms. Alyssa accordingly.” Sean had a solemn, if not angry expression on his face.
“No, please don’t! Please, Sean, don’t tell my sister!” Tatiana begged, holding onto his arm.
She continued, “If Alyssa steps in, this will only spiral out of control. I don’t want that to happen, nor do I want to cause her trouble, so please.”
“That filthy mutt tried to rape you, Tatiana! How could you not do anything?” Sean cried, anger tinging his voice.
“You’ve taught him a lesson. He won’t try that again.” Tatiana was scared but even more worried about burdening her family with this.
She added, “I’m about to graduate. We won’t see each other afterward, so it’s all okay. Plus, I still have you guys to back me up.”
Sean was about to argue again when Tatiana sighed. “Please just let me be, Sean… I have my reasons.”
Jeremy ended up meeting Landon in a newly opened club in Solana City. Landon’s tables were filled with all kinds of wine. He held one right now, belting out his lungs to “Live or Let Die.”
Jeremy reclined on the luxurious sofa with a shot of whisky in hand. He looked like some sullen
Adonis, exuding a strong, potent air even in the dim surroundings of the room.
“So live and let die!” Landon yelled into the microphone.
It was nearly enough for Jeremy to crush his shot glass into pieces.
If he had known Landon for two years less, he wouldn’t be sitting here keeping the loser company or enduring this torture.
Jeremy took a painful swallow of his whiskey.
“My man! Burp!” Landon called, heaving a loud burp before falling onto the couch beside Jeremy.
He reached out to hook an arm around his friend’s shoulders, asking, “How was my singing?
Terrific, no?”
Jeremy frowned and moved away, making Landon fall flat on his face on the sofa. “You’re terrific if you were a donkey in heat.”
“F***ing hell, did you get kicked in the nuts earlier? What’s with the shitty attitude, huh?”
Recalling how beautiful Alyssa was and how cold her words were when she tapped that blade on his cheek, sadness, and pain welled up in his chest.
“Poor Lyse. No wonder she divorced you. That foul temper of yours is enough to make her hit menopause early!
“Lyse?” Jeremy questioned, “I thought you had your heart broken? You two aren’t that close anymore, no?”
Landon stared at him incredulously, thinking, “How mean!”
“I admit she’s the most beautiful and intriguing woman I’ve ever met. I don’t think I would be able to lock her down, but…”
Landon downed several gulps of wine before continuing. “So how could she have given up her luxurious life to become a nobody¨Cto become your wife? You’re a handsome man, sure
“But that only works for so long. She was loyal to you for so many years, yet when the time came, you just chucked her aside like some
“That’s enough, Landon,” Jeremy said curtly.
“No!” Landon cried, feeling unbearably upset. “I can’t wrap my head around it. I just can’t! You two must have known each other for who knows how many past lives before for her to sacrifice everything for you! No sane human would do that!”
Honestly, not even Jeremy knew why. That was why he had wanted to get the answer from her at
Seaview Manor. His confusion and turmoil had nearly become a sickness in his heart.
He hadn’t had a good night’s sleep since the night of his grandfather’s birthday.
Just as Jeremy was about to lose himself in his thoughts, Landon suddenly guffawed. “I know I have a long history of being a womanizer, Jeremy, but I really am serious about Alyssa
“Sometimes I wonder why I couldn’t have known her earlier?”
Jeremy said nothing.
“If I had, I would have warned her about you. I would have told her not to get anywhere near
Jeremy Walsh, or your life would be miserable!”
Now, Jeremy had the urge to strangle his friend.
The moment Tatiana saw her sister, the doom and gloom in her chest dissipated. She went up to
Alyssa, insisting on treating her to dinner.
Unable to talk her out of it, Alyssa picked a home¨Cstyle restaurant serving foreign cuisine. It was nothing extravagant, so Tatiana wouldn’t have to spend too much.
Though the food wasn’t Michelin¨Cgrade, the sisters still shared a happy hour and a half, talking.
about everything under the sun.
Meanwhile, Sean gladly topped their glasses with drinks whenever he could, never bothering to get a bite for himself. He was just really happy to see Tatiana and Alyssa enjoying themselves.
After they had emptied two whole bottles of wine, the sisters went for karaoke.
Sean had planned to join them, but then his brother called at the last moment, asking him to
“Go on, Sean. Don’t worry about us,” Alyssa urged.
