Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Ashton’s eyes narrowed. “What do you mean? The video is already out?”

Briar nodded. “That’s right. You must have guessed that if I could hire a top–tier mercenary like Ian to help, there must be someone else backing me…”

Ashton gritted his molars, slung Briar over his shoulder, and they both fell into the blankets. “Babe, I think we need to talk about your other incredible identities.”

Briar was pinned under Ashton, unable to move. He had already grabbed her hands and held them above her head, making it impossible for her to break free.

Briar asked, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. What incredible identity could I possibly have?

Her string of three questions was a perfect performance of pure innocence, with her main strategy being to deny everything.

Briar couldn’t possibly admit it.

This was her ultimate trump card among all her secret identities. It couldn’t be revealed so easily; otherwise, how could she continue to run around the world causing trouble?

Ashton looked down at the guilty–faced girl beneath him. “Babe, you’d better come clean right now, or else…”

Instantly, a mix of shame, shock, and panic exploded in Briar’s mind. Startled by his threat, she cried, “Ashton, let me go…”

“Are you going to talk or not? Hmm?” Ashton wasn’t about to let her go so easily.

His grip on her waist didn’t loosen, and with Briar completely under his control, her face instantly flushed red. She stammered, “Ashton… D… don’t do anything reckless…”

Ashton’s gaze deepened. Noticing her hesitation, he lowered his head until their foreheads touched and coaxed her softly, “My love, who am I to you?”

Briar stammered, “M… my boyfriend!”

Ashton frowned, clearly dissatisfied with her half–hearted answer. “Just boyfriend?
