Chapter 162

*Kelvin stood there with a cocky smirk etched across his slimy face, practically dripping arrogance.

"Now get down on your knees," he ordered, voice laced with poisonous glee.

"Beg for forgiveness. Grovel enough, and maybe I'll let you crawl out of here when I'm done using you." Safe under Scarface's shadow, Kelvin felt no fear. Josephine's stomach churned.

She never expected Kelvin to come on this strong, and the ugly confidence in his eyes sent a chill racing up her spine.

One of his goons sneered, relishing her discomfort. "Didn't you hear the man, girlie? Hit the floor and start begging, or I can't promise you'll keep all your limbs." Josephine stood stubbornly; she would never kneel!

Kelvin, still puffed up with self-importance, turned to Scarface.

"See that, Mr. Scarface? They're not paying you any respect People like this only learn their lesson when they're looking their own graves in the eye."

The way Kelvin drawled those words, the way he licked his lips, told everyone he had no doubt Scarface would back him to the hilt.

Scarface, swirling his machete like a showman's baton, twisted his scarred mouth into a vicious grin.

"Point out whoever laid a hand on you. I'll make sure he doesn't leave here with his arms in one piece."

Kelvin jabbed a stubby finger across the room. "Mr. Scarface, that worthless piece of trash over there!" he spat.

Scarface glanced in Alex's direction...and froze as if he'd stared into Death itself.

His eyes narrowed, his muscles tensing. "Do I know you?" he asked, a strange tremor in his voice.

Alex only shrugged. "Could be," he replied calmly, too calmly.

Scarface shot Kelvin a sideways look. "This woman-she's from the orphanage, right?"

"Yeah," Kelvin answered, still oblivious to how Scarface's demeanor had shifted.
