Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1051

Indeed, he was in control of this body, but the way Brielle had called out just now had his soul trembling.

Max wasn't dead, merely in a deep slumber.

And to think, he believed he was gone for good. So, was he that smitten with Brielle? Even in his sleep, in the midst of recovery, he seemed desperate to reunite with her.

Getting rid of Max proved far too complicated. If Max faced true death, he too would find himself staring down the same fate.

The fire had only weakened him.

King lit another cigarette, his aura of brutality sweeping from his head down to his very hair in an instant.

Being the same person, just with differing personalities, why did Max win her affection while he got nothing? How was that fair?

Well, if that's the case, then nobody gets to have it easy.

He leaned back, his Adam's apple moving sensuously as he crushed the cigarette between his fingers.

Timing Brielle's expected arrival downstairs, he called over Kailee.

Kailee had a thing for him, or she wouldn't have followed him all the way from Saudi Arabia to North America.

Coming from the well-regarded Sanchez family in North America, she had met King during a visit to Saudi Arabia. Despite never having seen King's face, her pursuit was relentless. Now, she even sacrificed her dignity, frequently visiting to see little Isaac, proving her determination.

Having known King for so long without so much as holding hands, and receiving nothing but coldness from him, Kailee found solace in winning over Isaac. Thankfully, the boy took quite well to her. Aside from King, Isaac listened to her the most.

She didn't forget to regularly diminish the woman who had abandoned him in Isaac's presence.
