“ Wow! I have never seen someone like you. I almost believed that you stayed at Sky Palace. How foolish of me,” Lilith rolled her eyes. Lilith might have mistaken Ryvan for someone else. She had thought that the person she saw in Dave’s car was really Ryvan. Ryvan sighed. It seemed that no one believed him when he told them the truth. “ Lilith, you never told me that your sister would be here too.” A man walked towards them with a short smile. Arabella turned to look at him with a surprise expression on. She recognized the young man to be Stanley, Lilith's boyfriend. “ This is Stanley, my boyfriend. His family owns $150 million dollars assets and are also into the real estate business.” Lilith said proudly. “ Wow, congratulations.” “ I have good eyes when it comes to finding a man for myself. I can't afford to suffer as it is.” Arabella felt her stomach twist, most especially when her mind flashed back to how she lost her virginity. It made her furious. “ But
Stanley staggered backwards as he was taken aback.He wanted to dodge the attack, but it was too late. The ceramic plate broke into pieces on his head.Stanley screamed as blood trickled down his head and almost immediately, he fell to the ground.“ Stanley!” Lilith shouted in horror.“ What is a black belt owner doing on the ground?” Reno sneered and kicked Stanley hard.Argghhh!!Stanley screamed again, crunching onto his stomach.“ Bastard! What have you done? Do you know who I am?” “ Fuck who you're! You shouldn't have intervened if you can't handle it.” Reno cursed.Reno was a brutal man who didn't care about people.He picked another ceramic plate from the table to break on Stanley's head.Lilith shivered in fear. She never expected Reno to be so brutal enough to injure Stanley.“ Stop!” “Enough!” Arabella couldn't stand Reno’s brutality anymore.Stanley had stood up for her when her husband didn't, so she couldn't let Reno beat him to death.“ Taekwondo? I bet you didn't lear
“ Thank you for your help earlier, Ryvan.” “ It's my responsibility to protect my wife.” Ryvan replied.Arabella frowned.“ Don't get too delusional. This marriage is just for a short while.” She replied but Ryvan shrugged.She got pissed off when he continued calling her his wife.“ Sure.”Arabella sighed, she felt guilty for misunderstanding him all this while.“ I guess you learned martial arts. You're really good.” Arabella muttered.“ Yes, I have been learning martial arts for some years now.”Ryvan had been a martial arts student for almost half of his life, so it was natural to defeat his enemies.“ I guess you also win against Bruce at the fencing match because you're good at martial arts.”She had totally misunderstood him and thought he had used some underhand tactic to win against Bruce. She felt sorry for him for the first time since they became a married couple.“ I hate competition so much because I know for a fact that I would end up winning.”“ Being a braggart again,
“ Young master Harry, what you just said is rather impossible.” Arabella replied in the most polite way she could. “ You don't get to decide, because I do.” “ No one can stop me from taking you both with me.” Harry said, his lips curved into a lopsided smile. His smile was scary and his voice domineering that it made chills run through Lilith's bones. Arabella and Lilith never expected him to be scary and filled with pride. It made them vulnerable and anxious. Turning to face Ryvan, Arabella glared at him. He was leaning on a rack inside the mall, with his two hands inside his pocket. He had been there all along without saying a word. One would think he was a total stranger who was not in any way related to Arabella. Whereas, his is her husband. He dealt with Reno and his thugs fiercely, but now that it was related to a wealthy young master, he didn't dare say a word. “ Would you mind if had a little fun with your woman?” Harry's eyes fell on Stanley. “
“ You are taking my words the wrong way.” Ryvan sighed as he tried to explain. “ You can't handle Young master Harry.” “ He is not someone you can handle just like you did with Reno. We need someone who is up to the standard.” Arabella sighed and bit her lower lips in frustration. She couldn't abandon Ryvan because he had saved her even though it was in a reckless way. “ The best we can do right now is for you to run away before he gets back.” “ Run now! I will handle the rest.” Arabella whispered into his ear. Ryvan was shocked. He was well aware that Arabella didn't like him, but yet, she refused to let him be harmed by anyone, not even Harry. However, upon hearing that Arabella wanted Ryvan to run away, Lilith chimed in. “ He ain't going anywhere sis, what would happen to us, if he who started the fight runs away?” “ Young master Harry won't let him go. I must inform him.” Stanley rolled his eyes with a sneer. “ Shut up, bastard! How dare you speak?” Li
“ I would advise you to stop picking on Bruce. He just saved our asses.” She turned to Ryvan who said nothing. Out of gratitude, Arabella picked up her phone to call Bruce again. “ Thank you for saving us once again.” “ Young master Harry just left without even warning us or saying anything.” Arabella appreciated it. “ He left already?” Bruce was confused and surprised. He was still thinking of ways to beg Harry on their behalf, but it turned out that he left on his own. “ Thank you once again.” ‘ It won't be a bad idea to receive appreciation for what I didn't do.’ Bruce thought. “ You don't have to thank me, Arabella. We've been friends for so long. “ Whatever happens to you is my business, so I had to help.” “ Alright, bye.” she hung up afterwards. Arabella turned to Ryvan and told him never to act recklessly or rely on martial arts. She made it known to him that not every situation can be solved by fighting. Stanley, on the other hand, was surprised.
Dylan, one of Bruce's friends, was so mesmerised when he saw who had appeared before Ryvan. She was so beautiful like an angel. “ Wow, so pretty!” He couldn't help but gush. The lady was putting on a beautiful floral pink dress. Her oceanic blue eyes sparkled like the waves of the sea and also, her porcelain white skin made her look effortlessly beautiful. “ Hello damsel, I'm Dylan.” Dylan stopped forward for a handshake. Funny enough, the lady ignored him straight out and walked towards where Ryvan stood. “ Hello Mr Kesley. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.” With an extended handshake, the lady smiled. Ryvan also extended his hand to accept the handshake. “ Hi” He said casually. The beautiful lady was Eva Claire, Dave's daughter whom Ryvan had brought back to life with his medical skills. She was more socialised and vibrant. For the first time, she felt awkward because no man had ever been nonchalant towards her the way Ryvan was. “ Thank you for saving my life.
Ryvan stood a few metres away from Arabella who was seething with anger. He was sipping his wine slowly when Eva walked towards him. Seeing her walk to Ryvan, Arabella almost scoffed. “ Hey” she smiled. “ Hi.” Ryvan was brief with his greeting. “ Ryvan, I have to say, I'm quite fond of you,”
