Chapter 149
There was a wine ss in one bottle and a wine bottle in the other hand. There was no time for
Benjamin to react the moment Jane grabbed his face out of nowhere. Moreover, before he could even
comprehend why she suddenlyy hands on his face, she was upon him like a wind washing all over
him.
Her lips firmly pressed into his lips as she used all the momentum she could muster. Her eyes were
closed, but his eyes weren’t. His eyes were far from closing. His heart jumped into his throat as shock
shook his soul.

Shadow who had been sitting on the edge of the couch watched with his mouth wide-open and all the
half-chewed nuts up for view.

Unlike Reba who never kissed anyone before on the lips, Jane was a supreme expert as far as
kissing was considered. Benjamin’s spine bent backward in response, but she kept pressing forward,
sucking his lips into her mouth so she could then force her tongue into his mouth. Benjamin’s hands
dropped the bottle and the ss before pushing her away so hard she crashed back on the sofa.
However, she got a bright smile on her face. She liked how rough he was. “I wasn’t expecting such
strength from you. No wonder you could beat that cheater Donovan.” She licked her lips once. “But I
must say your lips taste really well, and you didn’t even apply any vor, did
you?”
Her voice barely reached Benjamin’s ears because of the loud music going on in the background.
Benjamin clenched his fist. His veins swelled, starting from the hand and traveled all the way up to his
neck. He was stepping forward, but Shadow shed in his path. “Control yourself, my lord,” Shadow sent
a mental message, his hand pressing against Benjamin’s chest. “Your eyes are turning.”
Benjamin immediately looked away and shut his eyes. Damian, who was looking in the direction while
dancing with Sasha, wondered. (Is she his wife?)

“Take her as far away from here as possible,” Benjamin yelled and ran into the basement.
Shadow swiveled and coldly stared at Jane. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? If I hadn’t
stepped in…”
“Who the hell are you?” Jane was annoyed. “And where did Benjamin go? To the toilet?”
Shadow didn’t respond. In fact, he couldn’t. A lot of thoughts flooded through his mind. (This woman
dared to tempt my lord… on a new moon night of all nights. I wish I could cut her into a million pieces
right now.) He held in the anger as much as he could.
“I asked you a question. Are you deaf?”
Shadow raised his middle finger, shocking her.
“How dare you show me your attitude when I was asking you nicely!” Jane stood and swung her hand,
aiming his left cheek, but shepletely missed hitting him. Shadow was still in her sight, but he was
just standing far enough that her hand couldn’t reach him. She quickly
stepped forth and tried pping once more, but she missed again.
Gritting her teeth, she picked up a wine bottle and threw it at him rather recklessly. He slipped out of the
bottle’s path like an elusive wind, and the bottle ended up hitting a stranger’s back.
Screaming in pain, the stranger chased Jane, but she ran away like her life depended on it. He would
have caught up with her easily if not for Shadow swiftly throwing a pocket knife and piercing his butt. This
time the stranger not only couldn’t find who attacked him but also couldn’t publicly show the pain he felt,
either. It was just too embarrassing.
Shadowter stood at the entrance of the basement and didn’t allow anyone toe that way. Damian
once tried to enter it, but Shadow’s cutting smile made Damian change his mind.
“Chill, bro. Tell my brother Benjamin I’m going home with Sasha, and that we liked our time here at this
bar,” Damian told Shadow.
As Damian left, Shadow kept icily staring at him. (Calling my lord a brother…) He didn’t like it, but he
could only swallow his frustration for the sake of his promise to Benjamin. Benjamin, meanwhile, was
punching walls in the basement and left holes in them. It took about fifty punches to somewhat calm
himself, but he was gasping by then. “Why are you acting like you tasted poison?” a feminine voice rang
in his mind, and it wasn’t that of Jane. “I poured all my heart into the kiss, but you really know how to hurt
my feelings, Ben. I guess I should have expected this much from a guy who killed everyone he grew up
with.”
Benjamin clutched his head tightly and squeezed it hard. He wanted the voice to go away, but she kept
giggling for some time and then it turned into crying. “Those who sit on the throne must marry,” another
voice yed in his mind. It was his father’s. “Ryenne loves you and wants to marry you. She’s also a
warrior who never lost among her peers. You should just marry her. Besides, didn’t you two kiss each
other? Take responsibility, and tie the knot.” “I didn’t kiss her, Father! She took me by surprise and kissed
me!” Benjamin fought back.” Why should I take responsibility for her rash actions?” “If you don’t want to
marry her, then do you have someone else in mind?” “No. I’m not ready for marriage yet.” “Fine. I’ll give
you one year. Choose someone by then, or… marry the one I’ll pick for you. No questions asked.”
After the time passed and some crazy stuff happened, Benjamin ran away from home, not wanting to
marry Ryenne or sit on the throne if he were to be forced to marry someone he wasn’t interested in.
All that trouble started with a kiss, and now the taste of Jane’s lips still remained on his lips and made
him go crazy. Her scent flooded his nose and loaded his brain with nothing but her image. “Stop it.” He
punched the hardened steel door, trying to break out of the basement.
The sounds skipped Shadow’s heartbeat. “Shit.” He took the daggers out from under his shirt. “I hope the
door doesn’t break.”
