Utterly confused, Deniz flailed helplessly in the water, creating countless splashes. “Ah!” he cried out, his voice gurgling in the water. “Help me…”
Observing Deniz floundering in the water, Jarrod spoke, his voice carrying a cold and threatening tone. “Cleanse that filthy mouth of yours. If I hear you saying such dirty things again…”
His lips curved into something resembling a smile, but his words dripped with bloodlust. “I’ll cut off that tongue of yours.”
Having delivered his warning, Jarrod turned away, ignoring Deniz’s desperate pleas for help.
Nicole, too unwell to speak, felt her legs writhing uncontrollably.
Her mind was caught in a fluctuation between clarity and confusion.
Deniz’s derogatory words branding her as an escort rang in her ears.
She knew that was the way others saw her, and it was all because of the role assigned to her by the man currently holding her.
To still Nicole’s quivering legs, Jarrod lowered her from his shoulder and held her sideways in front of him like she was a princess, letting her legs rest within the crook of his arms.
Seizing the opportunity, Nicole bit down on his chest, clenching her teeth until the taste of blood coerced her to release her grip.
Unfazed by the pain, Jarrod casually inquired, “What, you’re done?
Can you endure it now?”
Nicole’s entire body was flushed with heat, a symptom that spoke volumes.
Gritting her teeth to suppress her trembling body, Nicole demanded, “Put me down!”
Jarrod silently draped his jacket over Nicole, continuing forward as he pleased.

Nicole’s clothes were completely wet. Her underwear clung to her skin, hot and uncomfortable.
She hit and kicked the man carrying her, struggling frantically. “Put me down!” she pleaded incessantly. She was determined not to let her efforts against Deniz go to waste.
Witnessing her restlessness, Jarrod paused for a moment and soothingly said, “I’ll have Alec handle the aftermath. Deniz will face the consequences.”

A sigh of relief escaped Nicole. With Jarrod taking charge of the situation, at least some things would go the way she wanted.
Deniz’s sister-in-law was married to the brother of the Hampton Corporation’s chairman. The Hampton and Schultz families were deeply entwined in business relations. Jarrod’s move against Deniz, which had come without any prior indication, amounted to a slap in the face of the Hampton family. It was sure to create a crack in the rock-solid cooperation between the Hampton and Schultz families.
Nicole finally relaxed, but it was quickly followed by an intense craving. The restless itch at the bottom of her heart threatened to overwhelm her.
Carried by Jarrod’s robust arms, Nicole found herself being ushered into the car.
Without hesitation, Jarrod instructed the driver to raise the partition and speed toward the hospital.
In her half-dazed, half-resisting state, Nicole did not hear the car’s destination.
