The glamorous bar was bustling with noise. The deafening music, the haze of cigarette smoke, and the stench of alcohol flooded one’s senses.
The place seemed to be steeped in indulgence and depravity.
“Where’s Arnold?”
The moment Asher stepped through the door, every ravenous gaze was on him, seemingly bewitched by the sight of him.
“Handsome, are you here alone? Need some company?” A sultry man slid up to Asher, resting a hand lightly on his shoulder, daring to give it a squeeze. “If you’re bored, I can keep you entertained!”
Asher’s striking features remained cold and forbidding. The bulging veins twisted beneath the skin of his hand.
Yuri pushed through the crowd and spotted Asher, who stood tall and imposing, surrounded by thirsty, promiscuous men.
Terrified, he shouted, “Don’t touch him!”
The next second, a loud thud rang through the air.
Like a gunshot fired, the entire crowd recoiled, shrieking as they scrambled to the edges of the room.
Yuri focused his gaze.
The man called “The Matrix” stood firm, immovable as a mountain. Meanwhile, that flirtatious man lay sprawled at his feet, clutching his backside, writhing in pain.
Yuri sighed. The Matrix never cared about being gentlemanly to people he didn’t care about.
“Where is Arnold?” Asher stepped over the fallen man, heading straight for Yuri.
“At the bar. I’ll go with you!”
“No need,” Asher said hoarsely. His gaze swept past Yuri, then he strode into the crowd, his commanding figure still dazzling even as he disappeared.
Yuri’s thoughts churned. He let out a quiet sigh.
Asher was right. Arnold was nothing like Kairos.
Kairos was gentle, quiet, and even virtuous. Aside from work, he never set foot in places like this and never tangled with dubious men.
Asher had once said that being with Kairos made him feel at peace, at ease. Yuri always assumed that meant Asher preferred someone like that—a tender, understanding partner, the kind of person who smoothed over all rough edges.
But now, it seemed that was not the case.

Please update regularly...
Thanks for bringing Ryan back. Totally missed him...
I am reading this book from last year. Its very long story but at start i find enjoyable.Still there is no closure , dragging the story and the writer is running out of ideas. Its frustrating that they don't upload chapters regularly....
If you are about to start reading this “ongoing” book….don’t. It’s a great read but mo regular updates and leaves you hanging. Took me months to get to chapter 2370 (this app only has it to chapter 2368….learned to search different links to read ahead a bit). These ongoing books are just not worth the time since their author (s) take days/weeks to upload new chapters. Again great sultry, long drawn out at times, but not worth the frustration of no new updates....
No update in 6 days!!! Really??? I’m about over this story and ready to move on, the wait is to long....
Pls update regularly or least let us know why it's taking so long...
Ok I was thinking last night. I really hope the author hasn’t been affected by hurricane Helene. Not sure where they are located but I hope everyone is safe...
It’s been 87 years since the update with only 2 chapters. 🙄...
