Elijah tightened his grip, sliding his other hand toward her waist.
Bianca shouted, “Elijah! What are you doing?”
Dropping all pretense, he leered, “Since Blair doesn’t want you, why waste that body? Let me enjoy it. After your divorce, I’ll marry you. Deal?”
He yanked her closer, his foul breath hitting her face.
“Bastard! Release me!” Bianca glared upward.
Unfazed, Elijah chuckled. “What’ll you do about it?”
She kicked hard at his groin, but his instinctive block absorbed the impact.
His eyes turned glacial. “Bianca, you’ve overstepped.”
He reached to tear her clothes-
“Elijah! You damn dare touch Qi’s woman? Want to die?” Davis’s voice roared.
Davis charged from behind Bianca.
Without warning, he smashed his fist into Elijah’s face. Blood gushed instantly.
Elijah Huffman covered the corner of his mouth, glaring at Davis. “I’ll mess with whoever I want. What’s it to you?”

Davis shielded Bianca Watts behind him before turning back to Elijah. “Go ahead, try it. Don’t think your shitty company’s ties to Blair Avery and that bastard Graham scare us. Ruining you? Elvin could do it in a heartbeat. And you think you’re worthy to touch Elvin’s woman?”
Elijah’s blood ran cold at Davis’s words.
Ylagos had two dominant factions: one led by Blair Avery, the other by Elvin.
Allying with Blair didn’t grant Elijah immunity against Elvin’s wrath.
A flicker of fear shot through him.
Still, Elijah sneered, “We’ll see, Davis. Someday you’ll come begging to me.”
Davis scoffed. “Begging? To you?”
Knowing he couldn’t win this fight, Elijah slunk away.
Even after being struck, he had no recourse. In this world, weakness meant swallowing your pride.
Only when Elijah left did Davis turn to Bianca. “You alright, Mrs. Watts?”
She shook her head, voice shaky. “I’m fine.”
Davis noted her red–rimmed eyes but didn’t pry. “Let me drive you home.”
“Thank you, but I drove myself,” Bianca replied gratefully.
“I’ll follow you then,” Davis insisted. “I’ll leave once you’re safe.”

After escorting Bianca to the Watts family estate, Davis received Elvin’s call.
“Not here yet?” Elvin’s voice was sharp.
“Got held up,” Davis answered.
“What happened?”
“I’ll tell you when I arrive.”
Fifteen minutes later, Davis entered the private lounge where Elvin and Matthew Jackson waited alone.
Davis grabbed a grape from the fruit platter, popping one into his mouth as he sat. Chewing slowly, he studied Elvin’s brooding expression across the table.
“Ran into Mrs. Watts earlier.”
Elvin’s head snapped up. “Where?”
“At a park.”
“Oh.” Elvin feigned indifference.
“She seemed upset,” Davis added.
Elvin’s hand involuntarily clenched, though he shrugged nonchalantly. “She’s never upset because of me. Stop bringing her up.”
Davis knew Elvin was saying one thing but meaning another. Popping

the last grape into his mouth, he said, “She got bullied by Elijah Huffman. Looked like she was crying too.”
The moment those words left his mouth, Elvin shot to his feet. Face cold, he strode out of the private room without a word.
Seeing this, Davis chuckled. “Always the tough talker with a soft heart. Bet you’re hurting bad inside.”
Elvin didn’t respond to Davis, only quickened his steps.
After returning to the Watts family home, Bianca Watts headed straight to wash up.
Fresh from the shower, she stepped out wrapped in a towel.
She towel–dried her hair briefly before letting the towel drop.
Just as the fabric pooled at her feet, a sharp thud sounded behind her.
Alarm shot through Bianca. Instinctively, she covered her naked body.
“Who’s there?” Her voice was sharp with caution.
