“Let go of my sister right this minute!” Zeke’s harsh voice cut off the confession Alden had been about to make as he grabbed Alden’s hand and tore it away from Luisa’s arm

Luisa gasped. “Zeke, what are you doing?”

“Keeping this bastard away from you,” Zeke hissed. “Luisa can’t you see that he can’t be trusted? He deceived all of you because his friend asked him to, just to get Thalassa here.”

Alden clenched his jaw, frustrated, but tried to keep his voice calm. “You saw what happened here yourself, Zeke. I did it for a good reason.”

“That doesn’t make you any less of a liar and a user,” Zeke scoffed disdainfully. “You still used my sister to get to Thalassa. How do I know you’re not trying to get close to her only because Miller asked you to?”

Luisa felt her cheeks warm with embarrassment and quickly clarified, “Zeke, Alden never asked me out. He didn’t even speak to me personally.”

Zeke huffed. “Sister, don’t try to defend this man. Please understand that he can’t be trusted. That’s why I’m here. I won’t allow another bastard to hurt you ever again.”

He turned his glare back on Alden. “Stay away from my sister.”

With that, he wrapped his arm around Luisa and began leading her away. Alden fisted his hands in exasperation as he watched them go. He had no doubt that Zeke Mathews was going to be a thorn in his side in his pursuit of Luisa.

Zeke suddenly stopped in front of Millie. “Are you staying behind?” he asked gently, raising a brow. “Has your car been repaired already?”

Millie shook her head. “No. They said it will take a few days”

“Then why are you staying behind?” His eyes narrowed slightly as he indicated Alden with a nod. “Is he going to drive you home?”

Millie quickly answered, shuddering at the mere
