Shane stared brutally back at the man who punched and tossed him aside like a rag doll in front of everyone. The prideful man who was also regarded as a domineering guy was crushed by the blow he just received. His rationality and his boiling young blood failed to observe Anna's concerns towards him.
For the first time in his life, Shane left dominated. He even held a small army of armed force encompassing his significant presence. But, in front of the man who was presently eyeing Anna with a tender gaze, Shane felt that he could not get leveled with him.
'What is that I am lacking?'
As Jacob continued to gaze at Anna with so much passion, a spark of fire within Shane incensed and it slowly started building up as time passed by. As he straightened up, he gazed at the surrounding to check who all witnessed his flop.
Most of the third party who had been aligned for the attack were all withdrawn for if they continued to fight they would definitely attract public attention and the possibility of hitting the headline in news was too high for them all.
On Aaliyah's team, everyone left the spot except for her as the armed force directed their attention to Jacob. Naia and George who was inside the bar rushed out when they heard Anna's yelling sound.
They both were shocked by the scene outside, standing on the same floor as of the armed force made their body quiver. When George encountered the bloodshed face of Shane, he was appalled, "What's happening?"
Followed by them Leo walked out, he was stunned beyond words to find the crowded place with mercenaries. He immediately withdrew to fetch his brothers to exit the club.
Shane retired his gaze back at Jacob, he started unbuttoning his coat while he ordered Anna's bodyguard, "Take Anna back to the residence and reinforce the protection around the villa."
Anna looked blankly at the man who threw his coat aside, 'What is he planning to do? Why is he sending me first?' Her heartbeat started racing once again.
Shane hatred gushed out while he ordered his guards gesturing with his chin at Jacob, "Detain him and wipe the entire place."
Jacob whose eyes were wavering earlier now transfixed on the man who was undoing his top two shirt buttons. He grimaced smugly, "Oh! come on! bring it up!"
His eyes were flaring with a burning desire to destruct Shane while his lips curled up with a devil grin, 'You self-centered, swine! Come to me! Let me teach you a lesson!'
"Oh no! Not again?! Stop it!" Anna interrupted Shane, "Please, listen to me! let me explain everything. Shane! It was all my fault!"
Shane yelled back at Anna's bodyguard not showing any concern toward responding back to Anna, "Didn't I tell you to escort Anna, What are you waiting for?"
"Madam, Let's go! this way please!" Guard reacted immediately as the tension building up.
"I am not leaving anywhere..... Shane, I told you that it was my fault! I came here on my own accord. He got nothing to do with anything. let him go, please!" Anna continued to protest.
As Shane inhaled deeper closing his eyes, his heart was fumed with hate. He stepped closer to Anna and whispered in her ears so that only she can hear, "Anna! I am still your husband in name. Don't you see, your actions right now would humiliate me."
His voice was incensed with scorn and once his hot breath left her ear, Anna saw the dark and cold eyes revealing how angry he was. She locked her gaze with him as she answered in a low pitch, "I still owe him."
If it was not for Jacob on the other day, she would have been molested by the rogue when she got lost in the park. If he truly wanted to take advantage of her, he would have done that when she slept in his car. But he proved himself to be a gentleman again and again with no hint of doubt.
"Girl! Are you protecting him?" Shane sent a deathly glare which shivered her soul, she never once saw him to be such scornful to anyone like this before.
Anna hung her head low as she replied, "I have to... He is not a bad guy, I just knew it...."
Hearing her response set his heart to burn. He stepped back as he closed his eyes to control his rage and he breathed heavily, once he opened his eyes to lock his orbs at Anna, he shook his head with disappointment towards her. With a long stride, he dashed out of the lounge leaving her behind.
Anna tailed back Shane as she strived to explain it to him, all her efforts were thrown to the bin when Shane climbed the car, he sped past at once. Looking at the direction of the car, Anna felt aghast. 'I should not have come here. I should never have stepped out of the boundary set by Shane.'
