Page 36 of Ruthless Kings of Havoc

He observes me carefully as I try to calm the slight tremble in my voice. When our eyes lock, it’s my turn to narrow my eyes and show him the side of me that emphasizes my sinister intent.

The murderous heir who will go to any lengths to protect what I’ve now claimed as mine to the world.

“If you can’t share, it’s a no.”

“Now, if I couldn’t share, you all would have been dead already,” he mocks the truth.I know he means every word.“Does it include the brother duo?”

“You don’t see their value?”

“A model and a German spy bodyguard? I’m not seeing the appeal.”

“They’re more dangerous than that,” I mutter. “They can be a Jack of All Trades together.”

“Together,” he emphasizes the single word. “So far, they’re not really on the same page.”

Dammit. He’s right…

“We have the next year to work on it.”

“Good.” He seems pleased with the news as his voice dips. “Because this is only the beginning of the havoc we’re going to ensue as a solid unit of royals.”

The words rock my nerves.

The way it proves how easy it is for this man to adapt to any situation… even the one promised by the Ruthless Kings of Carnage that are no more.

With one final glance at the pack of cigarettes, I force myself to stand tall and use my free hand to accept the offered gesture.

His smile radiates through his expression, making him look far younger when the merry emotion glimmers in his irises. The trusty blinded bitch is not only bowing but has a lighter in her grasp. One of metallic pink with a bunny symbol engraved in the exquisite metal.

The pink flame is a unique look, reminding me of how our lighters had their own shades to represent the colors we admire within our group.

That’s all in vain now, isn’t it?

“Green and Purple,” I whisper the shades that resonate with myself. I then proceed to put the cigarette to my lips and lean forward until the other end is lit. The growing flame steals my attention away for a single moment.

In that heartbeat, I remember how I looked into Domino’s eyes and gave him my allegiance.

Only to start all over again now.

The flame is blown out by the blinded bitch, but I see it as an honorable gesture now that she has no choice but to acknowledge I’m no longer an enemy.

I’m an asset to her Master, and she has to accept that.

Whether she likes it or not.

That reminds me of the truth and the power I’ve just accepted. How this burning piece of power between my lips just set stone a catalyst of mayhem that will be quietly spread far andwide. It’ll start in Leighton, and by the time the gala descends through the night, my peers will have no choice but to watch my empire further rise with this new rejuvenated bond.

This will then force that betraying fucker to witness what he dared to play around with.

In the best way possible.

“The model?”

It doesn’t take me long to answer.

“Orange and Gold.”

He bobs his head, still holding his cigarette between his fingers as he enjoys the burning flame working its magic on the other side. “The brother?”
