Semua Bab After He Chose My Adopted Sister, I Bought A Wilder Beast: Bab 11 - Bab 16

Kevin's eyes were red, but he refused to let go. He clutched at me, his voice cracking as he asked, "Alessia, what does that scarred mongrel have that I don't?"I found the scene incredibly ironic.Kevin, the elite bodyguard trained for perfect emotional control, had lost all composure. And Lucas, the madman who had clawed his way out of a deathmatch pit, was terrifyingly calm.Lucas showed no sign of being provoked. He just silently stepped forward, stood in front of me, and said flatly, "I was just worried she'd get cold."He took a few steps closer, and Kevin instinctively backed away.Lucas turned again to adjust the coat on my shoulders, then looked at Kevin. "Don't let me interrupt."Kevin had no intention of stopping. "Principessa, please don't abandon me. Let me stay with you tonight, please? I've been trained to please in other ways, too. I can satisfy all your needs. I swear, I'll be much better than him."I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Is that so?"Kevin latched onto the hope lik

I moved quickly. The next day, Kevin was sent away.It was the bloodiest, most lawless corner of the Marino family's territories. But I felt no sympathy.

"Kevin was with you for ten years, after all. I actually... wanted to coexist peacefully with him at the estate."I raised an eyebrow. My fingertips traced a line from his hard pectoral muscle, slowly sliding down. "Is that so?"I played a

I added, "The trickiest part was dealing with the fighters you left behind. If we hadn't taken them in, the rival family would have used them as scapegoats to take the fall, or simply eliminated them."I pushed the gilt-edged project approval into Lucas's chest."So I used the Marino family's resources, took over their territory, and established a top-tier security and risk management company. It includes a complete placement program for the fighters. Now, absolute control of this company is yours. How does that feel?"I smiled smugly. "People like us, who clawed our way up from the bottom, believe in two things: total annihilation for our enemies, and rewards for our own."Lucas was deeply shaken by my actions. He looked at me for a long time.Suddenly, he bent down, cupped the back of my neck, and gave me a kiss that was unprecedented in its sincerity and devotion.This kiss was different. There was no clumsy exploration, no trace of the abject humility born from our different statio
