"Besides, didn't you just declare yourself our official love bodyguard? Keep a close watch. If she tries anything, you can report right back to me."
Hearing this, Little Bean instantly perked up.
*Oh, right! I have superpowers! I can totally spy on what's happening with Dad!*
Seraphina let out a genuine laugh at her unborn baby's fierce enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, at The Nocturne Lounge.
Lucian stepped through the heavy doors.
His sharp gaze swept over the dimly lit room, instantly zeroing in on Melody tucked away in the corner.
She was perched on a barstool with a man standing much too close to her.
The guy was actively trying to put his hands all over her.
From her spot in the shadows, Melody caught sight of Lucian approaching.
Without warning, she reached up and hastily unbuttoned the front of her dress, exposing the luminous swell of her cleavage.
Kenny practically drooled, ready to whistle in sheer delight.
He couldn't believe his luck—landing such a gorgeous, eager woman. He was about to have the night of his life.
But just as he reached out to pull her closer, Melody suddenly shrieked, "Help me!"
At the exact same moment, Lucian's commanding voice sliced through the noise. "Back off!"
Kenny froze. He looked up and visibly flinched at the sight of Lucian.
The man radiating pure, icy menace looked incredibly dangerous and wealthy—clearly not someone to mess with.
Kenny frantically backpedaled. "Whoa, man, it wasn't me! She unbuttoned her own dress!"
Playing the devastated victim flawlessly, Melody looked toward Lucian, her voice cracking with a perfectly timed sob.
"Lucian... thank God you're here... I was so terrified..."
"Let her go," Lucian demanded coldly.
Kenny was completely lost.
One second, they had been flirting and vibing perfectly.
The moment this terrifying guy showed up, her entire demeanor had flipped.
