Before they could walk away, Kevin stormed towards them. When Corbin noticed that an expressionless Kevin started to approach them, he didn’t mind it that much. Maybe that was just his resting face.
"Mr. Kevin, the woman that you went with is gorgeous. Since she liked me too, can you give her to me?" he said while putting on a saccharine smile.
Upon the displeased expression and sneer of Kevin, he continued, "If you don't want to, I understand. It's just I think that you deserve a better woman."
"Take your hands off her," Kevin ordered. By that, Corbin's dream of playing with the woman shattered in front of him.
Kevin intimidated the older man by throwing him a sharp look. After that, he pulled Anne from his grip.
He stared at her limp body. She looked so vulnerable and helpless as if she would break any moment. He could only imagine what would have happened to her if he came a second late.
Kevin turned to the man in front and glared at him. "Do you know the consequence of touching my woman? It's either I take your life, or I will cut those hands of yours."
Under his threatening gaze, Corbin could only writhe in fear. Just as the rumor went, he was a cold-blooded and unpredictable man.
"Please forgive me, I didn't know she was the woman you love. I won't do this again, I promise! I'll give all of my assets in exchange for my hands," he pleaded. His voice was desperate, totally different from the arrogant demeanor that he showed to Anne.
"Oh, so you wanted to keep your life." An evil smile appeared across his lips. His malicious expression was enough to scare the people around him.
It seemed like Corbin got himself tangled to trouble.
"No, please, Mr. Kevin! I'll give all of my fortunes, just please spare me!" He knelt on the floor as he begged for mercy.
Unfortunately for him, Kevin only stared at his useless begging. "Why would I do that? You almost did her dirty. I don't care about your assets. Take him away!"
In just a snap, Kevin's men came and dragged the old man away. Anne was held close against his chest that she could almost hear his heartbeat.
He turned his attention to the woman that was quietly leaning against him. It was such an unusual sight to see her being compliant.
After a scan around their surroundings, he took her in his arms. Wordlessly, he carried him to the most expensive room in the night club.
Anne's frame looked so tiny as she lay on the light purple bed.
Her hair was sprawled all over her damp chest. She looked disheveled yet he couldn't bring himself to tear his eyes away from her.
When he realized that Corbin must have seen the same thing, he felt the urge to gouge his eyes out. He must have had a death wish for making a move on his woman.
"Let me go..." Anne muttered intoxicatedly as she pushed Kevin lightly.
When her cold hand contacted his chest, a familiar feeling lit up in his heart.
The voice she let out was hoarse, yet he found it endearing.
"You cruel woman. If you didn't reject me, I would have had you by now." He caressed her face carefully.
Even though Anne was drunk, she still had some reasons left. Unfortunately, she thought that the man in front of her was the old guy that was trying to assault her. Suddenly, Kevin's face appeared in her mind.
Tears started to pool in her eyes and trickled down just as fast. "Kevin, help me…" she sobbed.
Upon hearing her pleading voice, he froze as he gaped at her.
What was this woman doing? Was she thinking of me whenever she was exposed to danger?' Ecstasy surged within him as he draped his arms around her gently. "Say it again… Tell me who you love..."
She found the familiar comfort in his arms, but her mouth said otherwise.
"Kevin, you bastard," she cursed.
All she could think about was Kevin being with other women. Deep inside, she wished that she could just strangle him to death.
Since she was not in her senses, her mind was a mess. She wasn't even aware that he had saved her.
Thinking of that old pervert, she still tried her best to escape. She landed her feet on the floor but her unstable body and high heels made her fall to the ground.
"Are you okay?" He squatted in front of her and helped her up.
Kevin smiled bitterly to himself. He shouldn't have taken her out.
Fortunately, he remembered how Anne called him earlier using her sultry voice. Because of that, his anger out of her meeting Ian in secret vanished. Suddenly, everything seemed to be worth it.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed.
The realization that it was Kevin who was next to her dawned at her. At that, she looked at him dreamily with her pouted lips.
Upon her gesture, he could only peer at her with amusement. He didn't expect that Anne would be this cute under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
Without further ado, he lifted her and sat her on the bed. Instead of letting go, Anne wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.
"Kevin, I missed you so much…" she whispered. The thing was Corbin gave her a drug that came from the F country. Under that medicine, she would take any man in front of her as her favorite person. Thus, her words were sincere.
