Even in submission, the aura he exuded was potent, seemingly capable of
consuming all around him.
Within the mansion, a maid who witnessed this couldn't suppress a shudder.
Marcus’ overwhelming presence, undiminished after hours of kneeling, was
unparalleled within the Thomas family.
Derek quickly brought an umbrella, sheltering Marcus from the rain.
“Derek, escort Sir Marcus home without delay,” Freyja instructed.
Thoroughly drenched, Marcus climbed into the car. Derek cranked the heater to
its fullest, but to no avail.
Marcus experienced fluctuating chills and warmth, leaning back, a trace of
fatigue clouding his eyes. Agony radiated from his reopened wound, and his
head felt unusually heavy.
“The wound must have opened again. Mr. Thomas, please endure it a bit longer.
I'll increase our speed,” Derek assured.
Despite Derek's swift driving, the journey was abruptly halted by a loud
explosion. The tire had burst, and the car skidded to a stop.
Marcus, resting with his eyes closed, snapped them open at the sudden halt, his
sharp black eyes looking out at the rain-soaked night. A slight contraction of his
pupils betrayed his thoughts. Indeed, sleep would evade him tonight.
Derek glanced back and informed, “Mr. Thomas, we've had a tire burst.”

command.

that very morning and found them in perfect condition, he concluded that
someone must have deliberately placed an obstruction on the road. The heavy
rain had obscured his view, causing him to drive over it.
“We're under attack!”
From the back seat, Marcus’ coughing broke the tense silence. Fever was
overtaking his body, but he needed to remain alert.
Derek's eyes found Marcus’ slightly flushed face, concern filling his voice.
“Mr. Thomas, are you ill?”
The timing was uncanny. Already weakened from his wound and drenched by the
rain, Marcus was at his most vulnerable.

A sudden jolt shook the car, and a bullet left its mark on the glass.
Derek flattened against his seat, gauging the direction of the gunfire.
