The Billionaire’s Maid Bride (Flanagan and Allison) novel Chapter 589

As soon as the thug dropped his guard, Bryan lunged forward to help the fallen staff member to his feet. “You okay, man?”

“Bryan,” the employee gasped, “I’m sorry.”

Bryan shook his head. “Not your fault. Where did you get hit?”

The Blue Club had its share of tough guys. They were friends of Hughes who could handle themselves in any brawl. But it also employed regular people who just worked there for a paycheck. Now, seeing his crew roughed up like this, Hughes was seeing red.

His fists clenched tight. He told Bryan, “Get them to the hospital.”

“You sure you can handle this alone?” Bryan asked, with concern marking his features.

With a nod from Hughes, Bryan ushered the injured away, leaving without interference. Tthese goons were here for Hughes, not the small fries.

Hughes sneered as two of his buddies took up positions beside him. “Hughes, these guys mean business, looking for trouble on purpose.”

The leader of the opposing group stepped forward. “You’re Hughes?”

Hughes’ face turned to ice. “Seems I’ve unwittingly crossed someone. What’s this payback for?”

“It’s simple. You crossed the wrong people, and we’re just here to collect,” the thug snapped his fingers. “Tear this place apart!”

Chaos erupted once more in the bar.

Hughes kicked out, sending a goon flying, and then grabbed a beer bottle, smashing it over another attacker’s head. He was outnumbered but fighting fiercely. The leader, surprised by his strength, saw his men faltering. But the numbers were against Hughes, and soon enough, he took some hits.
