Asher gently placed Thalia on the bed. “Rest, darling. I’ll see who it is.”

When he opened the door, Asher’s brow instantly furrowed.

Drake stood in the hallway.

Asher had just emerged from the shower with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist. The love bites on his neck and collarbone were unmistakable.

Confronted with this sight, the veins on Drake’s forehead visibly pulsed. His breath caught, face turning ashen, eyes harboring a dangerous storm.

Asher stepped back, pivoting to avoid him, then drove his fist into Drake’s face, immediately following with a vicious kick.

Sharp pain exploded across Drake’s face, his mind buzzing.

He staggered backwards, his body slamming against the corridor wall with a dull thud.

“Hah.” Contempt flashed in Asher’s eyes. “Drake, I gave you your chance. Three years ago, when Thalia got together with you, I convinced myself that as long as she was happy, I would step aside. But what did you do? How did you treat her?”
