Chapter 28
Dominik quickly packed up
up the clothes and hurried over, his curiosity barely contained. “Bloss, this hotle cutie isn’t a spy, is she? Are you trying to get some intel out of her
Jonas’s gaze had already wandered, settling lazily on Natalie, who was leaning her head against Myla’s shoulder. He gave a distracted hum of agreement. “Mm–hmm”
“Wow,” Dominik exclaimed, rubbing his hands together in excitement. If this gorgeous girl really is a spy and falls into my hands.-
Dominik immediately perked up. “Boss, if that’s the case, can I-
Jonas cut him off abruptly, his tone cool and unhurried. “Does she know Myla’s into women?”
“Huh?” Dominik blinked, caught completely off guard.
Jonas tilted his head slightly, lost in thought. “Could she be trying to use a divide–and–conquer tactic?”
“What?” Dominik’s confusion deepened. Wait, who is he even t
i talking about? That pretty girl? Divide and conquer? What the hell is going on?
Dominik had always been able to work under Jonas because he never hid his thoughts from him, no matter how absurd they might seem. And this time was no different.
Unable to resist, Dominik, blurted out “Divide with wh?
The question seemed to pull Jonas back to the present. A sly grin curled his lips, his voice dripping with casual arrogance as he murmured, “Exactly.
With what
“Even if Myla did have a thing for her and wanted her, why would I care! How could Natalie possibly drive a wedge between us! Jonas mused, his thoughts trailing off
Meanwhile, Dominik stood there, rubbing his ear as though trying to clear the fog in his brain. Suddenly, realization struck him like a bolt of lighting “Oh, she must’ve noticed I’m interested in her. She’s pretending to be afraid of me, then pitifully clinging to Myla for protection.
“My goodness. Myla gives her shelter, and just like that—ham! She’s driven a wedge between me and Myla.”
The more Dominik spoke, the more convinced he became, his expression growing increasingly grim “That’s a wickedly clever ploy. Flow despicable.”
Jonas stared at him, utterly speechless
Undeterred. Dominik went on “But it’s a good thing my willpower is rock solid. There’s no way I’d ever fall for a pretty face.”
Jonas couldn’t help but scoff, “Are you blind? Natalie’s genuinely scared of you?
Dominik looked at him with wide–eyed disbelief. “Boss, no way. She’s not even afraid of you, so why
y would she be scared of me?
Jonas lifted a leg and kicked Dominik square in the rear. “Get lost and do your damn job”
Rubbing his butt, Dominik laughed awkwardly and gave Jonas a mock salute, “Yes, sir. Mission accepted.”
The air around them quicted, and time seemed to stretch. Jonas lit a cigarette, taking a few drags before scowling impatiently. Is Natalie changing or sewing a whole new outfit? What’s taking her so long? he thought.
Just as he was about to stride over and check, a flash of vibrant red caught has eye.
Natalie stepped out, and the sight hit him like a punch to the gut. The sleek, form–fitting fabric clung to her curves, revealing every inch of the delicate, sensual figure previously hidden beneath the understated black sheath she’d been wearing.
The fiery red hue accentuated the natural glow of her soft, luminous skin, giving her an irresistible allure, a kind of radiant vitality that made her seem almost untouchable yet utterly captivating.
Natalie’s thick, luscious hair was messily twisted up with a rough twig, a few soft strands escaping to frame her delicate face.
The makeshift hairstyle, though unpolished, had a charm that perfectly balanced the bold allure of her striking beauty–too much and it would have been gaudy, too little and it might have felt lackluster. As she stood there, she looked every inch a rare and breathtaking muse..
Feeling Jonas’s intense gaze burning into her, Natalie grew uneasy. She fidgeted with the sheer white shawl draped over her shoulders, her

movements slightly rushed as she walked toward him. Her tone carried a mix of humor and deference as she asked, “I hope I won’t embarrass you,
d into a smile as he leased, “Darling.
Jonas’s arm moved effortlessly, sliding around her shoulders in a natural claim of possession. His lips curved even though you’re stunning, don’t you think you look a bit pasty? It’s lacking a certain… vibrancy”
Natalie’s heart sank slightly. After everything she’d been through–the shocks, the restless sleep–she knew her lips were pale, almost colorless. But she couldn’t possibly find makeup around here.
Just as she was about to discuss it, Jonas tightened his grip, pulling her closer. Before she could fully grasp what was happening, he led her into the car, his strong arm half–lifting, half–guiding her into the seat
She hadn’t even settled properly when his voice, low and filled with an amused warmth, drifted from above her. “Let me give you a little color.”
Natalie blinked in confusion. “What do you mean by—”
Her words dissolved into silence as Jonas leaned in his warm lips pressing firmly against hers. The kiss was fiery, unrelenting, and searing, leaving
her breathless
When he finally pulled back, his piercing blue eyes gleamed with a raw, primal intensity, like that of a predator who’d just claimed his price. Their noses brushed, the closeness intimate and electrifying, as though every breath and whisper was shared.
“Dors that do the trick, sweetheart?” Jonas murmured, his voice rich with mischief, a lopsided smirk tugging at his lips.
Natalie, flustered and overwhelmed, turned her head slightly and m
mumbled.
- d. “Mm–hmm.”
But Jonas wasn’t done. His tone grew deeper, more wicked, as he added, “Hmm, it’s still missing something. Let’s make it a bit redder. It’ll suit you better.”
Without waiting for her reply, he dove in again, this time with even more passion, his kiss wild and unrestrained, leaving no room for protest.
ing with the gun in her hands.
Myla leaned casually against the side, toying
She didn’t look up until Jonas stretched an arm out the car window, motioning for her to join. Looks like the boss is in a good mood after the kiss, this cheeky bastard,” she thought, a wry smirk playing on her lips.
Sliding into the driver’s seat, she cast a quick glance in the rearview mirror.
Jonas lounged in the back, cradling Natalie against him like she was some delicate, precious treasure. She looked utterly weak like a ragdoll. A cigarette hung crookedly from his mouth, and his deft fingers were busy with her hair.
He twisted her silken strands around his fingers, looping them into a loose updo and pinning at in place with a small, carefully trimmed twig
It wasn’t the most elegant hairstyle, but with Natalie’s playful charm and striking beauty, even something so simple radiated effortless allure.
Once he finished, Myla finally spoke, “Boss, Darius sent his men to meet us?
Although Myla was inwardly ranting, she didn’t let it interfere with the mission for even a second.
Jonas looked up lazily, his demeanor like a predator who had just fed, satisfied but always ready for more. His gaze drifted toward the two military pickups parked ahead. Without a hint of urgency, he drawled. “Let’s go.”
With a small nod. Myla rolled down the window and gave a quick forward signal to the cars ahead.
As the convoy moved, Myla’s mind wandered, her rebellious spirit simmering just beneath the surface. Darius really thinks he’s something special. huh? If the boss shows up, he should at least come himself–or send that useless son of his. But no, just a few random soldiers? What a joke!
She glanced back through the mirror, catching a glimpse of Jonas in the rear seat. He was busy teasing Natalie, coaxing her into giving him another kiss, his demeanor almost indifferent, like a careless king enjoying his spoils
“He looks like he’s slacking off, but I know better, Myla mused. Jonas was anything but inattentive, especially when it came to settling scores
She scoffed inwardly, Darius will learn the hard way. The boss never lets anyone cross him and get away with it. By the time he’s done, Darius will be lucky if he’s still breaching”
Her gaze hardened, a flicker of concern crossing her mind. Still, bringing Natalie along… could complicate things. Things might be differem this
