The Almighty Dominance

Chapter 222

Chapter 224

Everyone in the ballroom knew one unspoken rule:

Never cross the Kanes.

So when this random nobody smacked Bella Kane across the face, felt like time itself froze.

Every head turned, jaws hanging open. The gasp was almost a collective choke.

"Is he out of his damn mind?" someone muttered.

"He actually hit Bella Kane... He must have a death wish."

A hush fell, thick with fear and disbelief. For as long as anyone remembered, Bella was the one who dished out the torment-

never the other way around.

In that moment, the unthinkable had happened.

Bella swayed on her heels, hand pressed to her flaming cheek.

Her eyes were wide with equal parts shock and wrath.

No one, no one, had ever dared lay a finger on her.

"You-" she spat, voice cracking, "you dare... you dare hit me?"

Alex felt adrenaline rattle his veins. He'd lashed out before thinking; a part of him hated that he'd struck a woman.

He flexed his hand, trying to ignore the sick churn in his gut.

"Kill him!" Bella shrieked, voice echoing off the marble walls. "Now!"

Her security detail snapped to attention, batons raised like they were itching to break bones-some even pointing their guns.

The onlookers scattered, some scrambling behind tables, others pressing themselves flat against the wall.

Everyone watched, hearts pounding, expecting Alex to be torn to pieces.

But he stood there, posture calm, expression unreadable.

In an instant-thud, thud, thud-the guards crashed down as though their legs had been yanked out from under them.

A few face-planted; others buckled at the knees.

Their eyes were wide with terror, as if caught under the gaze of some demon cloaked in human skin.

"Hey! I need more backup out here-now!" one of Bella's bodyguards growled into his earpiece, voice cracking with an edge of

fear.

Alex kept advancing, calm and unhurried.

Step. By. Step.

Each footfall resonated against the polished marble, a steady metronome of menace.
