Knock knock, knock knock.
The sound of hitting the floor continued. Dane was shaking one leg at an incredible speed. Sitting on the edge of the bed, unable to look straight ahead, he crossed his arms and spread his thighs wide, rolling his eyes to the side and shaking only his legs. He was extremely conscious of the green eyes that were fixed on his face and not shaking.
Meanwhile, Joshua Bailey, sitting on the only old chair in the room, was glaring at Dane with scary eyes. He didn’t shake his legs or wander his gaze. The two eyes fixed on Dane’s face were so fierce that they seemed like they could split him in half if he was not careful.
Since Joshua was brought into the room, the two of them had been sitting like that without saying a word. One was glaring, and the other was trying to avoid that gaze.
Haa, Dane was the first to raise his hand in the end.
“......I’m sorry.”
Joshua wiggled an eyebrow at the apology that came out of nowhere. Dane was momentarily afraid, wondering what to do if he kept asking him what he was sorry for, but fortunately Joshua didn’t do that.
“What happened, this?”
He opened his mouth with a very angry face.
“I told you to kidnap Grayson, so why are you saying you fell in love?”
At the sharp question, Dane jumped up and denied it.
“I admit that the request failed. But it’s wrong to say you fell in love.”
Even though he denied it with a serious expression, Joshua’s face was filled with distrust. Dane prepared himself and waited for his next words. No matter what he said, he had already decided what he would say. After all, what Joshua imagined would definitely be wrong.
“You slept with Laura, too.”
Suddenly, Joshua said something unexpected. Dane, who had been blinking at the unexpected question, frowned a beat later and asked.
“Who?”
Joshua clenched the hand that was carelessly placed on his thigh. Then, his green eyes glowed darkly and he spat out through his teeth.
“Secretary Chase, at my wedding!”
“Ahhh.......”
Only then did Dane recall his memory. Yes, that happened. He couldn’t remember if her name was Laura, but it was probably right. Dane shrugged his shoulders and defended himself.
“I’m so bored, I need an event like that.”
He had been speaking calmly as usual, but he came to his senses and hurriedly added.
“It’s not that your wedding was boring, it’s that the singer you sang was boring.......”
“Chase sang it, not me.”
Joshua cut off Dane’s desperate excuse. Then he hit the point hard.
“And honestly, if that singer was your type, it wouldn’t have been boring, right? I would have slept with that singer instead of Laura!”
No, Dane might have slept with both of them. He would have done more than that. Joshua had personally experienced this man’s promiscuity.
He tried to ignore the fact that he was in that promiscuous place.
Of course, Dane wanted to point out that fact, but he wasn’t in the mood for it. After all, there was no excuse for doing something like that at someone else’s wedding.
“Yeah, I’m sorry.”
Dane scratched the back of his head after apologizing obediently.
“I didn’t know you noticed. You seemed busy.”
Of course, Joshua had another reason for noticing. He had been keeping an eye on Dane, in case his sister, Emma, had fallen in love with Dane. But, strangely enough, he disappeared with Chase’s secretary. Only then did Joshua feel relieved. How fortunate that Emma had different tastes from most women. Otherwise, she would have definitely fallen for this promiscuous man.
Who would have thought that she would be so relieved by her pitiful tastes that only fall for weaklings?
“So, what are you going to do?”
Joshua asked again. He added with cold eyes as if he knew everything.
“You slept with Grayson? What are you going to do now?”
“Ahem, ahem.”
As expected, Joshua knew Dane very well. Of course, it was only natural that the two of them had been so promiscuous since they were in the military and even after they became civilians, for a certain period of time, living together so closely that it was hard to put into words.
Does this guy think that I have set Grayson up?
Suddenly Dane became curious. Joshua knew that Dane was an omega. The fact that he was an omega with a more promiscuous lower body than an alpha made them even more entangled.
I don’t know about an omega... ... .
Joshua was a deep-rooted hetero who only dealt with women. On the other hand, Dane didn’t # Nоvеlight # discriminate between men and women even then, and since he had seen him hunt down tasty-looking alphas and stab them in the back many times, Joshua wouldn’t have ruled out the possibility that Grayson had been set up.
But the important thing isn’t who set up and who was set up. For Joshua now, all that mattered was the fact that the two of them had slept together. Dane couldn’t hide his awkward expression and looked away from him again.
“There were unavoidable circumstances.”
“So what are you going to do?”
It was an overly suggestive statement, but that was all there was to it. If he could control the heat cycle at will, Dane wouldn’t have been born in the first place.
“Hey.......”
Joshua continued to press him, and he opened his mouth in a weary voice.
“You know, I don’t have any serious relationships with anyone.”
“I just slept with you? Why Grayson Miller?”
“It seems hard to believe, but it’s true.”
Dane said, looking at Joshua’s face, which was still filled with distrust.
“And we’ll never meet again.”
The cold night wind brushed against his cheek. They stood there, staring at each other in silence.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.......”
The man who had been strangling Grayson finally stopped struggling as if he was losing consciousness. As he gasped and fell, the man who had been aiming the gun at Ezra’s head threateningly put the gun to his temple.
“Let go! I’m not joking, I’m really going to shoot!”
“Ah, no, no...... Save me, Miller, please.......”
Ezra finally burst into tears. The man smiled in satisfaction at his terrified and shivering appearance. It was a smile that assured his victory, but Grayson’s reaction was indifferent. With his face still expressionless, he opened his mouth as if he was bored to death.
“What does that have to do with me, you little shit.......”
In that moment, everyone froze. Ezra’s face was still the same as when he had been crying, and the guys who had surrounded him and threatened Grayson had their mouths open in bewilderment.
But it was true. How dare you threaten Grayson Miller? And there was no way he would follow the orders of a man he didn’t even know what he was doing. There were only two people on Earth to whom he would meekly bow his head. His father, Ashley Miller, and Dane Striker. They were none of them. And what? Let me go? Grayson sneered, twisting the corners of his mouth.
“Shoot, he’s none of my business.”
“Miller!”
Ezra trembled and burst into tears. A grown man crying so hard, how could anything be so hideous? But Grayson didn’t laugh at him or pity him. He literally felt nothing. To him, Ezra’s existence was no different from the trash can lying around behind him.
Grayson turned his head again. Looking up at the man who was struggling, he thought. Should I just break his neck?
When he thought about it that far.
A loud noise rang out. Uh. Grayson blinked at the unfamiliar sensation. His cheek felt hot for some reason. He felt something dripping down, so he raised his free hand and wiped it away. When he looked down, he saw a bright red color. The bullet had grazed his cheek.
Grayson slowly turned around and saw a man pointing a gun at him. Ezra, who had been crying and clinging to him just a moment ago, shouted in thought beside him.
“Wh-what are you doing? Stop it!”
“Get out of the way, that bastard is trying to kill my son.”
Ezra, who was trying to stop him, read the man’s firm determination and became thoughtful. He looked back and forth between Grayson and the man, and this time shouted at Grayson.
“Grayson, let that man go! Hurry up!”
What are you talking about, that bastard... ... .
He furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance, but Ezra continued to plead with him.
“Please, I don’t want to see you get hurt. These guys promised they wouldn’t harm you. So please....”
He then apologized with eyes filled with tears.
“I’m sorry, if you don’t do this Sandra will die. I’m sorry, please do as these people say.......”
