“Go ahead. Hit me. I’ll sue you for assault, and I’ll win.”

“Stella. Hit them. I’ll handle the consequences.”

Elias walked over, unbuttoning his suit jacket as he approached. His eyes were cold enough to freeze, but his voice stayed soft.

“You’ll handle it? Who do you think you are? This isn’t a movie–being good–looking doesn’t get you out of trouble.”

Jasmine’s face radiated pure defiance. I’m a terrible person. What are you going to do about it?

“Stella. This is the man you chose? Encouraging you to commit a crime. I know exactly what he’s doing- he wants you in jail so he can take everything you have.”

For a second, Stella just stared at her.

Gideon, who’d just arrived, bit back a laugh. His shoulders shook slightly.

Elias? Scheming to steal a woman’s money? That would be the joke of the century.

“I’m your man.”

Elias leaned in, his voice low, almost urgent, right next to her ear.

Stella’s eyes widened. That was what he focused on?

Whether it was how close he was standing or something else, her ear tingled. Warmed.

“Silas. She has a boyfriend. And you’re still hung up on her?”

Jasmine’s voice cracked. Tears spilled.

“Took you long enough to realize your man’s trash. Engaged and still bothering my woman.”

Gideon stared. Shocked.

Stella? She was almost used to it by now.

Then Elias‘ arm slid around her shoulders and pulled her closer.

Pushing him away now would look strange.

“You’re so ugly you’re scaring my girlfriend. I’ll sue.”

Silas questioned everything.

He used to be Azure Peak University’s most eligible bachelor.

“Move. You’re blocking traffic.”

Silas and Jasmine didn’t budge.

Elias took Stella’s hand, opened the passenger door, and guided her inside. He leaned in and buckled her seatbelt himself.

“Gideon. What are you standing there for? Go back and get the money ready.”

“Uh?”

Gideon blinked, completely lost.

The next second, he understood exactly why Elias wanted funds ready.

Elias started the car. Silas and Jasmine stood there, confused..

“Screech-”

The cared past Silas. He stumbled.

ey ran. Elias chased. Finally, their legs gave out. They collapsed. And then–the unmistakable smell hit

e underground parking lot.

Elias had already driven off.

Gideon pinched his nose and made a call.

“Hello, police? Someone’s–public indecency in the parking garage.”

“Not a medical emergency. Young couple. Both conscious.”

Silas and Jasmine covered their faces and fled.

“No manners. Running off like that.”

The incident hit Azure Peak University’s forums within hours.

Silas and Jasmine earned a permanent spot on the blacklist. Banned from campus indefinitely.

Gideon planned to mention it to Elias tomorrow. Surely that was worth some credit.

Meanwhile, Elias had pulled over to the side of the road. He looked at her, nervous.

“Did I scare you back there?”

Stella studied him.

“Elias. Your driving is impressive.”

“You-”

“I don’t let things slide. Even if you hadn’t done that, I would’ve handled them myself.”

Elias exhaled. Relief flooded his expression. He looked at her with something soft and warm.

“If they’d touched you, I’d have made them pay ten times over.”

“I’d back you up.”

Now Stella was the one caught off guard.

“You don’t think that’s too much?”

“Whatever you do, I’ll support.”

The confession hung in the air. The car felt smaller. Intimate.

“Stella. People say I have no heart. Let me be clear: in this life, I’ll give you my love. My family gets loyalty. My friends get brotherhood. That’s it. That’s all I need.”

His gaze was so intense her pale cheeks flushed faintly.

“You didn’t deny that I’m your man earlier. That made me happy.”

“It’s just―”
