“Kris!” Luisa screamed when she opened her eyes to see Kris bleeding from his shoulder. She shot to her feet and rushed toward him. “Kris… are you okay?”

“Yes… I’m fine,” he muttered, brushing off her concern. “But you need to get behind the car. Now.”

Before Luisa could respond, the man who had fired the shot turned his gun back on her, but before he could pull the trigger, Alden suddenly crashed into him, tackling him to the ground.

Alden grabbed his wrist, and they struggled over the gun until he finally managed to knock it out of the man’s hand.

“How dare you! How dare you try to shoot her?!” He raged, slamming his fist into the man’s face. More punches followed.

When the man was finally subdued, Alden took his gun and grabbed him by the collar. He dragged him to where the rest were standing, throwing him onto the floor beside his accomplice.

Luisa gasped when she saw Alden’s face, noticing a small but bloody cut on his forehead. “Oh, Alden! Are you okay?”

“Yeah, don’t worry, gorgeous,” he replied, flashing her a small smile.

Tears welled in Luisa’s eyes, and the next moment, she did something that surprised Alden and even herself, she cupped his face in her hands and kissed him, not caring that his blood smeared onto her skin. Alden stiffened at first, but then he relaxed into the kiss.

When they pulled apart, Alden managed a small grin. “If this is the reward I get for wrecking my car, maybe I should crash it more often.”

Luisa smacked his chest, making him wince. “Don’t even joke about that.”

“Who sent you?” Kris’s harsh voice pulled their attention back onto the man on the floor.

If these bastards were doing this on their own, they would’ve fled as soon as things went south. The fact that they kept trying to kill Luisa meant that someone had sent them

“We’re not telling you anything,” the man Luisa had stabbed with her stiletto sneered.

“Speak, or I swear worse is going to happen to you,” Kris growled, no sign of pain on his face despite his bleeding shoulder.
