Master of his heart (Max and Brielle) novel Chapter 1075

"Of course, I'm doing exactly what I want to do."

King's answer was quick, and in the next moment, the sound of guns being cocked filled the air, a synchronized chorus that hinted at multiple people involved.

But he didn’t flinch. Instead, he casually traced the rim of his coffee cup with his fingertips.

"Are you sure you want to start something here? She's under my control, like putty in my hands, to mold as I please."

Dustin's chest heaved with rage, itching to pull the trigger and end King right there. He couldn't bear to think of what Brielle had endured, despite his promises to protect her.

A vicious glint flashed in his eyes as he kicked the table in front of him, sending it flying.

Dustin was known for his agility, which had allowed him to escape from Kenzo and his men in the past. And King was just as skilled, having spent years eliminating obstacles for Max.

As the table soared towards him, King swiftly retreated, kicking the table up into the air.

"Boom!"

The table crashed down, sounding like the start of a war. Dustin's punches followed, but King was quick to dodge, making them evenly matched.

"Why are you so angry?" King genuinely wondered. "What's wrong with her being with me? The Lynch family has other enemies to deal with. If she goes back, she'll just become a target. With me, I'll keep her safe."

That was his reasoning. While dodging Dustin's punches, he continued to back away. The small coffee shop suddenly felt too cramped for their skirmish.

"Is this how you protect her? By forcing her?" Dustin's words were laced with self-anger, upset at himself for even thinking King would keep Brielle safe. This man was nothing but a beast, a scoundrel!
