Master of his heart

Chapter 237
Max ignored their clamor and barged through the door.
The bodyguards, knowing a member of the Rowland family was present, stood
frozen, not daring to make a move. Max was no fool. One look at the scene
before him, and he knew the Rowlands were up to something.
“Scram.”
The bodyguards stumbled and tumbled their way out, nearly tripping over
themselves in haste.
Brielle leaned against a chair, sitting on the floor, her wrist wound glaringly
exposed amidst the scattered droplets of blood.
Max felt a jolt tighten in his chest, his breath caught as if he'd hit a mental reef.
He rushed to her, cradling her face with trembling hands. Her cheeks were
smeared with the prints of slaps, swollen, but her eyes shone like marbles dipped
in water.
A sharp hiss of pain escaped Brielle as her brows furrowed together. Max quickly
eased his grip, scanning her for other injuries.
Words failed him, his throat as if clogged with an invisible force. This panic was
more terrifying than anything he had faced in over two decades.
Seeing the gravity on his face, Brielle felt an inexplicable sense of relief. She was
glad he had come. Her arms wrapped around his neck as she whispered, “I'm so
tired. Let me rest a bit.”
Max's nose tingled with the onset of emotion as he scooped her into his arms
and strode out.
Outside, Austin was still in a verbal tussle with Kenzo. He was shocked to see
Max emerge. cradling a woman in his arms, treating her with such delicate care.
Everyone in Beaconsfield knew Max steered clear of romantic entanglements,
but here he was, holding a woman with
such gentleness.
Kenzo, seeing Max's protective stance, quickly intervened. “Brielle’s just worn
out, Max. Take her away, I'll follow shortly.”
His words dis some of Austin’s doubts, but Austin was well aware that Brielle held
significant sway with both Kenzo and Max.
As Max carried Brielle away, Kenzo turned to Austin with a smile. “Mr. Austin, let's
keep tonight's events under wraps to avoid any unnecessary drama, shall we?”
Austin, eager for discretion, nodded in agreement.
Max had arrived swiftly and left just as quickly, leaving Kenzo and Andrew to deal
with the aftermath.
Andrew's mood was sour as he checked on Tessa in her room, finding her still
unconscious. His resentment towards Brielle grew, especially knowing his friend
sided with her, even at the
cost of their relationship
Frustration bubbled within Andrew as he vented to Kenzo. “He's thrown all his
principles out the window for Sheller
Kenzo rubbed his temples. “Can’t you two sit down and talk this out? The chat’s
buzzing with rumors about your fallout.”
“For Tessard do anything. She’s my future wife. But what is Brielle to Max? He's
supposed to mary Alivia, is be really turning his back on me for a fleeting fling?”

It was a flaw in men’s nature.
“Brielle will leam her lesson soon enough.”
Kenzo felt a headache coming on. “This is not the time for that. How do you plan
to explain this to the Rowland family?”
The Rowlands were still strategizing outside. How could a pawn like Brielle
entangle both Kenco and Max? The Rowland family was baffled, and so was
Tessa.

Sochia had no regrets about teaming up with Brielle and naturally sought to
cover for her. “I think it's Kenzo. Remember, I caught them dining together.”
Tessa frowned. Whether Kenzo or Max they should side with Andrew, and by
extension, with her. Yet here they were, whisking Brielle away, a clear slight to
both of them.
