Nate’s warm, calloused palm slid over Corrine’s eyes, shielding her from the bloody scene. His other arm coiled
around her waist, drawing her tightly against him.
“It’s bad luck to linger near the dead,” he murmured.
Just as he turned to lead her away, the door burst open. Presley stormed in with his men, moving like shadows in
the night. In mere moments, the remaining adversaries collapsed one by one, their lifeless bodies hitting the
floor without a final cry.
Nate barely spared them a glance. His icy stare swept over the corpses, regarding them as nothing more than
insects crushed beneath his heel. He might have let things slide if they had played their tricks elsewhere. But
they had crossed the line the moment they targeted Corrine.
“Clean it up,” he commanded.
Presley nodded. “Understood.”
As Corrine brushed past Presley, a flicker of insight flashed in her eyes. His timely arrival, the ruthless precision
with which he disposed of the remaining enemies—he hadn't just stumbled upon the scene. He had been lying in
wait all along.

Presley surveyed the room, his sharp gaze lingering on the fallen bodies before shifting to Mandy. A trace of
admiration surfaced in his eyes. “It’s been a few years... You've improved.”
Mandy pressed her lips into a thin line. “Tonight, both Mr. Hopkins and Miss Holland joined the fight.”
A simple statement, yet it sent a chill down Presley’s spine.

Nate rarely dirtied his hands. If he had stepped in himself tonight, it meant he had been truly enraged.
Meanwhile, Saul crouched beside the bodies, rifling through their belongings in search of any clues. “What about
the nearby villa?” he asked, his fingers flipping through a bloodstained wallet.
Presley tucked his gun into the waistband at his back and motioned for his men to continue cleaning up. “Didn't
hear anything—"
Before he could finish, a voice boomed from the adjacent balcony. “Are they all dead over there?”
