An Understated Dominance by Marina Vittori

A gruesome sound of flesh being cut apart filled the air. Out of nowhere, Gage stabbed Edgar’s chest with the knife. Blood oozed from the wound and dripped to the floor.

“Huh…” Edgar stood frozen, staring in disbelief at the knife lodged in his chest. He never thought his beloved brother would attack him with such ruthlessness.

Everyone in the banquet hall was shocked. Who would have thought that Gage, who had been calm and smiling, would attack Edgar? This was no longer a simple drunken fight.

“Edgar, don’t worry. The blade missed your heart by just an inch. It won’t take your life for now. Just lie still and don’t make any trouble,” Gage said calmly.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his fingers. His demeanor was strangely calm, as if his actions didn’t matter.
