"Ram them," Dustin said decisively.Natasha understood immediately. There was a sharp glint in her eyes as she floored the gas and drove straight at Gilbert and his men.Gilbert was startled and quickly jumped out of the way. Two of his men weren't fast enough and got knocked to the ground.She shifted the gear into reverse and floored the gas again, scattering the group before backing straight into the cars blocking the intersection. The impact knocked the blocking vehicle to the side, opening a path.Their plan worked. Without hesitation, Natasha spun the wheel and executed a perfect drift. The car sped through the opening and off into the distance."Dammit! Go after them. Don't let them get away," Gilbert roared, scrambling to his feet. He was covered in grime and shaking with fury.Frederick crushed his cigar under his heel and got into his car, his expression grim.Engines roared as eight vans took off after the fleeing red sports car. A high-speed chase through the streets

"Ms. Nicholson, you're back," Natasha said, looking up with a bright smile. "We were just finishing up. The food here was great. Thank you for the recommendation."The way she phrased it positioned herself and Dustin as a pair, with Dahlia as the outsider.Dahlia managed a strained smile. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."She glanced at Dustin. Whatever faint hope she'd had of talking to him alone withered under Natasha's sharp look and his blank expression."I have a meeting this evening, so I should get going," Dahlia said, grabbing her handbag and rising to her feet. "The bill's taken care of.""Oh, we couldn't possibly let you pay for everything," Natasha said apologetically, but her expression showed no such concern."It's just a meal. Don't worry about it," Dahlia responded, her eyes on Dustin.Something unreadable flickered in her face before she simply said, "Take care, Dustin."He nodded, his expression uncharged. "You too."They exchanged no further pleasantries. The apolog

"Ms. Nicholson, don't just sit there. The beef is delicious. You should try some," Natasha said.She seemed to have just noticed Dahlia sitting there in silence. Her tone was warm, but her smile carried a hint of triumph."Thank you," Dahlia replied, looking up and forcing a smile. She picked up a slice of beef, but her throat felt tight, and she could barely swallow. She tried to find something to say, both to break the awkward silence and to satisfy her curiosity about what Dustin had been doing lately."I heard you were away for a long time recently. Were you handling something important?"Before he could answer, Natasha cut in. Her tone held both pride and a clear assertion of her knowledge of his whereabouts."You're right. My man is very capable. He was dealing with some very important matters and even saved the King. Isn't that right, dear?"She placed another piece of meat on Dustin's plate while she spoke.Dahlia's stomach dropped. She'd always known Dustin was extrao

The diners kept their chatter to a whisper, but Dustin's sharp hearing still caught every word. He didn't let it bother him.Natasha, however, seemed to enjoy the attention. The envious glances from the other women only made her feel more pleased with herself. She kept serving him food or refilling his water with deliberate affection.Dahlia sat across from them with her usual aloofness, acting as if the whispers didn't exist. But when she glanced at the pair, her expression faltered for a moment.Just then, a young server approached, carrying a sizzling-hot platter of barbecue. He must have been distracted by the two stunning ladies and accidentally tripped."Oh no!" he yelped, stumbling.The sizzling platter lurched in his grip, tipping toward Dahlia and Natasha at the edge of the table. Both women's faces turned pale. Dustin, who'd been sitting quietly until now, reacted instantly. He lunged forward, grabbed the server with one hand, and caught the platter with the other.Wi

"What a coincidence, Ms. Nicholson." Natasha's tone was cool and distant. "Though staring at my husband like that seems a bit inappropriate, don't you think?""Husband?" Dahlia snapped out of her daze and composed herself, her face returning to its usual calm detachment. She smiled faintly with a hint of skepticism. "Ms. Harmon, if I recall correctly, you're not married. Where did this husband come from?"Natasha had expected this question. She immediately wrapped her arm around Dustin's and pressed her body intimately against him.Tilting her face up toward her, she declared, "He is my husband. We're getting our marriage license tomorrow."The announcement caught Dahlia off guard, creating a ripple of unease beneath her composed exterior. Her smile stiffened just slightly as her eyes moved back to Dustin, and something unreadable flickered across her face. She took a moment before responding, keeping her voice neutral."Well then, congratulations to you both.""Thank you,

After buying clothes for Dustin, Natasha still wanted to shop more. She led him into the boutique next door to pick out a few handbags from the latest collection for herself.While she was browsing, a young man spotted her and his eyes lit up. He wore a flashy shirt and gold chains as he made his way over."Hey, pretty. You've got great taste. This bag just arrived. It's a limited edition and would suit you perfectly." Zayden Riche smiled as he spoke, his eyes roaming over Natasha while completely ignoring Dustin beside her.She didn't even look up and continued examining the bag in her hands.Zayden didn't give up, flashing what he thought was a charming smile. "How about we become friends? Pick whatever you like today. I'll pay for it."He shot Dustin a smug glance, as if showing off his wealth.Natasha frowned in annoyance. "Get lost."The smile froze on Zayden's face. He had status in this part of town, and no woman had ever dismissed him so bluntly. His face turned grim
