Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Love at the 2011

Chapter 2011

Just as Emmanuel had promised, early the next morning, Quintus arrived

with a hundred elite members of the Blade Battalion to join Mackenzie.

“Mackenzie, I’m here!” Quintus greeted her enthusiastically, moving in for a

warm hug.

But seeing Rhett’s stern gaze fixed on him, he chuckled awkwardly.

O

“Mackenzie, from today onward, I’ll be your knight in shining armor,

My–Dear–Princess!”

“Alright, I’ll be counting on you then!” Mackenzie smiled, flashing him a radiant

grin, far warmer than her usual reserved demeanor.

She knew deep down that Quintus had always truly loved her, and he was a

man of good character. Since he still harbored feelings for her, she decided

to maintain a friendly relationship with him.

Sure enough, just her smile left him flustered. “Mackenzie, you’ve changed!”

he stammered.

“What? You don’t like the new me?” she teased. “Is it because I lost my figure

after having a baby? Or is it because I’m not as aloof anymore, and now you

think I’m boring?”

“No, no, not at all!” Quintus waved his hands frantically. “I’m not a glutton for

punishment! Treat me well, really well!”

Mackenzie laughed generously. “Have you guys eaten yet? How about I take

you to a farm restaurant and treat you all to a meal?”

“Really?” His eyes lit up with excitement. He immediately turned to his men

and ordered, “The goddess has spoken–first, we feast, then we work!”

“Hooray!” The members of the Blade Battalion cheered excitedly.

These guys hadn’t originally come from the military; they had joined the Wolf

Warrior Unit out of loyalty to Emmanuel. And now that Mackenzie was treating

them so well, they couldn’t be happier.

Mackenzie smiled again, her mood much lighter.

Behind her, Phett, arms crossed, watched the men who had once fought

alongside him and couldn’t help but smile too..

He knew he had made the right choice. Freedom was the only way to find

true happiness, and these smiles were something he hadn’t seen during his

time in Dark Night Islands.

After their meal, Mackenzie returned to the Silvergate relief center.

This time, with such a formidable crew accompanying her, Anthony didn’t

dare act up. Instead, he politely explained the situation to her.

“Ms, Quillen, we had planned to use your donated supplies to make up for

what was stolen during the looting. Now that you know about it, I won’t hide

anything from you. I just hope you’ll show some mercy and help me transport

the remaining supplies to Riverhaven. Please, I’m begging you!”

He clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture, genuinely asking for her

help.
