Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 930

He took out a switchblade, twirling it beside Baby with a malicious grin.

"You used to scratch yourself up as a kid, but that's boring. Let's go for something heavier, shall we? I'll decide the weight — either from you or from her. So, who’s it gonna be...?"

He couldn't finish his sentence as a rock suddenly struck his wrist!

The switchblade clattered to the ground.

Tarquin's voice was like ice. "Back off from her!"

The masked man looked at him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"You got the nerve to hit me, not realizing the mess you're in? She's mine. I could end her in a heartbeat!"

Tarquin's gaze didn't waver. "Think again why I'd dare to do such a thing!"

"Why?" the masked man asked, puzzled.

"Don’t you know? I never enter a fight unprepared."

The masked man's suspicion deepened.

"What are you implying? You think you're walking out of here alive?"

"Better question is, can you?"

There was a brief silence until the masked man's phone rang. He answered, clearly annoyed. "Talk!"

"There's been a mishap, get out now! The explosives are set to go off in less than ten minutes. Any later and it's too late!"

"What happened?"

"I'll explain face-to-face."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive. We need to evacuate now!"

"Damn it!"

After hanging up, the masked man regained his composure and turned back to Tarquin.

"Such a pity. I was looking forward to making you suffer a bit longer. But it seems fate has other plans. In another life, Tarquin. Don’t forget to seek me out. We'll have our rematch."

With that, he signaled to his men and they quickly made their way to the roof where a helicopter awaited.
