His Regret Arrived Three Days Late novel Chapter 186

The blood in Annika’s veins seemed to reverse its flow, roaring and raging within her. She slammed her head against the wall, over and over. She couldn't hold on much longer.

Just as she was about to lose her mind and completely break down, a deafening 'thud' echoed through the room.

Annika looked toward the sound just in time to see a sharp, formidable figure lunge forward, sending Yves flying with a single kick.

*Conrad.* She was about to cry out his name, but the word caught in her throat when she saw Justin's face instead.

After landing two more kicks on Yves, leaving him with a bloody nose and mouth, Justin didn't bother finishing the job. He strode over to Annika, scooped her into his arms without a word, and rushed outside.

With a soft thud, Annika was tossed into the back seat of a car.

Justin glanced at Conrad's cold, grim face in the back and snorted. "Your 'Icy Durian' is burning up, Conrad. Time to quench her thirst."

The moment Justin had lifted Annika, he felt the heat radiating from her body; the drug was clearly potent. The thought of having to be the one to 'save' her himself was more than a little inappropriate, which was why he was so irritated.

The car door slammed shut. Annika scrambled to sit up, and her feverish, hazy eyes met a devastatingly handsome face. "Conrad."

The fire in Conrad's chest burned even hotter. *Just how much did that bastard give her?* he fumed. He would tear that bastard apart later!

Conrad pushed her hand away, intending to pull her into his arms, but the sight of her arched neck—long and beautiful—her parted red lips, and her unfocused, dazzling eyes stopped him. She looked wrecked—beautiful and helpless in a way that made his restraint hurt.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he asked in a raspy voice, ‘Here?’

She didn’t answer—only clung to him, trembling.

The last thread of his restraint snapped. Conrad flipped over, pinning her firmly against the car seat. He was direct and fierce, conquering her without a shred of hesitation. An unknown amount of time passed before Annika went limp, utterly exhausted, and fell into a deep sleep.
