Baron’s mood clearly lifted at his subordinate’s words, and the smile on his face even gained a hint of sincerity
“Hmm. I guess, since she slept with me, I’ll do her a little favor”
The subordinate let out a silent breath of relief but didn’t dare wipe the sweat dripping down his face.
Baron didn’t care about the fear in the room. He casually set his phone aside, picked up a surgical blade, and toyed with it between his fingers, those striking eyes narrowing slightly

got the original press conference video. Even if Natalie deletes the footage at the station, I’ll just send them another copy. After all, she did sleep with me.”
“But Jensen actually had the nerve to force her to the station to erase it? Disgusting. I heard Sharon’s in Central City Hospital?”
As soon as Baron finished speaking, a subordinate jumped in, “Yes, Sharon’s in room 304 on the third floor
“Find me a mental patient. Have him wander into 304. Make sure he’s the type who’s into women like Sharon. Let’s see if Jensen decides to rush to the police station… or the hospital.”
Baron flung the surgical blade. It sliced past the subordinate’s scalp and embedded itself dead center in the target board behind him.
The man nearly wet himself.
“Yes, sir! Right away!” he yelped and bolted out of the room.
Baron chuckled, his smile seductively dangerous.
“I wonder if Natalie will like this little gift. Let’s go. Mr. Baron’s going to pick up the lady personally–time to celebrate.”
He grabbed his phone, stretched his long legs, and strode out.
Inside the car, Natalie and Jensen sat in silence.
Same car, same familiar driver, same man sitting beside her. But Natalie’s heart couldn’t feel more different.
Jensen wanted to speak, but one look at her expressionless face and he swallowed his words.
The sting on his cheek hadn’t gone away.
It was the first time in his life a woman had hit him.
If it had been anyone else, he would’ve broken her arm on the spot.
The tension was so thick the driver didn’t even dare breathe too loudly.

le focused on the road, praying they’d arrive at the station quickly. But just as he made a turn, a Maybach ame out of nowhere and crashed straight into them.
he driver panicked and tried to swerve, but it was too late.
lang–the two cars slammed into each other.
ensen instinctively grabbed Natalie, pulling her back so she wouldn’t hit the seat in front.
What the hell was that?!”
le snapped, fury rising.
he driver was panting. “Mr. Luke, I don’t know. It just swerved right into us! I’ll go check.”
ensen didn’t stop him.
ust then, his phone rang.
Mr. Luke! Please help! A lunatic just barged into Sharon’s room with a knife, claiming she’s his wife and rying to drag her home! None of us dare get close! Sharon’s terrified–she’s about to faint!”
Light as Quincy finished, Sharon’s shrill screams rang through the phone.
Don’t touch me! Jensen! Help!”
ensen’s face went pale.
Sharon, hang on! I’m coming!”
He ended the call, flung open the door, flagged down a taxi, and took off toward the hospital–without even looking back.
He didn’t say a word to Natalie. Didn’t spare her a glance. Forgot she even existed, despite the fact they’d ust been in a car accident.
Watching him disappear in such a panic, Natalie thought it might hurt.
But it didn’t.
If anything, she felt relieved.
Maybe now she wouldn’t have to go to the station to delete the footage.
But what about the photos Jensen had of her? When would she ever get those deleted?
Her thoughts were spiraling when someone knocked on the car window.
She snapped back to reality and looked up–to see a handsome face pressed against the glass, peering in at
her.
She frowned and quickly rolled the window down.
“What are you doing here?”

Natalie was stunned to see Baron.
He nodded toward the two cars. “There was an accident. Come on, let’s talk.”
Natalie didn’t want to get involved with him. She hadn’t even been the one driving–what was there to talk about?
But she definitely didn’t want to sit in Jensen’s car anymore.
She stepped out.
The driver was still arguing with Baron’s men.
Before she could say a word, Baron grabbed her wrist and pulled her aside, pinning her against the car door.
“What are you doing?!”
She was startled and caught off guard.
Baron’s cool fingers traced her cheek. He smiled. “Ms. Summers, even if I helped you yesterday as a favor to Witch Doctor, shouldn’t you at least thank me?”
“I already did,” she said coolly. “With something pretty sincere, too. That was my first time, after all.”
The calm way she said it sent blood rushing through Baron’s veins.
He grabbed her chin and tilted it up, forcing her to look at him.
“My first time too,” he murmured with a low laugh.
Natalie blinked, stunned.
That had been his first time?
As intense and relentless as he’d been?
Liar.
Still, she wasn’t about to argue over something like that.
It was clear he was just making conversation.
“What do you want?”
“Have dinner with me. I’ve got a gift for you.”
Natalie didn’t really want to say yes, but going back meant risking Jensen dragging her off again–maybe to the station, or worse, to apologize to Sharon.
She was done with that.
And truthfully, this man… she didn’t mind him.

“Fine.”
Baron smiled, satisfied.
The tear–shaped mole beneath his eye looked darker than ever–like a drop of blood.
Natalic quickly turned away and shoved down the memory of their last encounter, climbing into the second car Baron had prepared.
The driver remained distracted, still caught up in Baron’s diversion.
Natalie wasn’t surprised–Baron was clearly well–prepared.
But she wasn’t scared. She got in the car without hesitation.
They headed straight to Ocean City’s most upscale restaurant, Grand Restaurant.
As soon as they sat down, Baron slid his phone across the table to her.
“Here. Your gift. Tell me if you like it.”
