Chapter 18
|| KIERA STEVENS’S POV |
Ryan was holding one of those men’s gun. His expression was calm and natural even after hitting the full basket of bottles nearby. His man acted fasi, snatching back the gun before the crowd could notice. Ryan pouted angrily after it was taken away,
Fuck.. Seriously Was my son into these guns!
Ryan!!“, I shouted, getting on my step to scold him. I didn’t want him to play with something so dangerous. I wanted him to be a gentleman like my father. Luca held me back, his cold hands gripped me before I could reach over. Pushing me back at my chair, he gave his men a meaningful
Look.
One of them came forward to bow, apologizing.
“Sorry, Luca! He he insisted on playing. We will be careful next time.”
My voice raged, coming out harshly,
Why did you hand over the gun in the first place? Don’t you think that it’s dangerous for a little child? Besides, he could have hit someone by mistake”
I was furious over these useless men. They were giving a real gun to a child who didn’t have any idea of it. His response left me speechless,
Sorry, Miss! Actually, he told us that he would like to hit those bottles. We didn’t care because we thought that he wouldn’t be able to do it since he never fired anything before. Who knew that he was good at shooting?”
1 glared at him coldly. This guy was sounding like Ryan had been practicing this for years. He was only five for God’s sake. He might have aimed them by mistake. There was no way that my son liked those dangerous things. Before 1 could say more. Luca interrupted us, his eyes watching Ryan in pure adoration,
“Just pay more attention to him next time. We don’t want any trouble here. You get it?”
He nodded before taking his leave. I glared at my son who was giving me puppy eyes, giving his apology silently.
“Your son has a good gene, Miss Stevens!“, Luca smirked, leaning onto his chair. His pair of hawk–like eyes stayed on me reflexively. I pursued my lips but couldn’t say anything in return. Surely, those weren’t my genes because I was this fragile hearted woman who would have fainted from the sound of a gunshot,
“What?? Don’t know where these genes came from?, Luca added with a smirk, hinting at that haunted night of
my
HE
My expression darkened in a matter of seconds. Scoffing back, I replied with a fake confident voice,
– Of course, I know! At least he didn’t get those genes from some dangerous Malia man like you.
His jaw clenched hard in anger. I bet that it was a good hit from my side. He looked pissed off. 1 smirked at him victoriously. He let out a dark chuckle, a chuckle that left shivers crawling through my spine. Leaning forward, he mouthed staring at my face coldly,
* You forgot that you still have to pay
ay for your disobedience from last night, Kiera Stevens:
I knew I was in a damn situation at that moment. I noticed that he pronounced my full name whenever he was seriously angry, But I was in the mood to challenge him back since he had interrupted a perfect holiday with my son. Obviously, who could I blame now? Because Ryan looked happy with his stone faced boys. I just prayed that he didn’t get such a sore mood from them like robotic. I never knew my son had such creepy preference. Like who on earth would like to get along with those people who always had a stone–cold face!–
Folding my arms, I scoffed back with a threatening look on my face,
Oh really! Tell me, what are you going to punish me? Are you going to take me–here in front of everyone?”
He couldn’t at least not around a bunch of people and his people were standing a few feet away from us. His eyes narrowed, an exhale came out heavily from his dark lips. He muttered, narrowing his eyes dangerously,
Try nic
I just rolled my eyes in disbelief. Perhaps, I had forgotten how narcissistic this man was until I figured out for real how narcissistic he was in real

Chapter 18
LADIES & GENTLEMANI THE CIRCUS IS GOING TO START NOWT, the host announced, bringing our attention back on the stage. Ryan chirped happily, his men still following him around. It was already evening. I couldn’t believe that Luca had spent an entire day with us.
Didn’t he have work to do! Oh I forgot All his work was shooting at innocent people.
*MOM! I am going near the stage with them!“, Ryan shouted, already getting on a man’s lap, pointing at the stage. I refused,
1, not believing them entirely over my son’s safety,
and Watch from here.”
Nope, Ryan!
Relax! I am not a pussy to get revenge on your little son. Luen spoke, drawing my attention back at him. We had been given table and chair down from the stage, away from the crowd for those VIP customers. Bua instead of sitting here, Ryan was persistent to watch closely.
His men disappeared after Luca gave them a glance to obey Ryan’s words immediately. Then my selfish boy didn’t even look for his mommy once and went head over heels to go with those gangsters.
- me. He whispered huskily, his eyes
You are spoiling him too much!“, 1 gritted out my words at him. His smirk grew bigger and came leaning onto m flashing a dangerous hint that made me scared and turned on at the same time,
“Am I? I think, you liked this too much.”
was honestly!
Because no one had ever treated my son this well except my father and friends who cared about me for real. In other eyes, he had always been a bastard by mistake. Even if this man was cold like ice, he was warm to Ryan.
*1…L, I stammered, licking my lips dry since I couldn’t lie at his face. He was looking into my eyes as if he had known the truth already. Suddenly. the lights went off around us. The host from the stage announced that it was time to perform their circus. I guess which was the reason that they switched off all lights to make an environment.
I looked back at us. We were sitting only a few inches apart from each other, his face was so close to mine as he was whispering a moment back. Before I could move back, his hand gripped my thigh under the table.
My eyes went witle in surprise. I stammered, Jooking down at his hand through the dim light,
“What.. what…are y you doing
My breathing was turning heavy. He didn’t take his hand back and instead spoke raising his eyebrows playfully.
What do you think.”
I gritted my teeth hard, moving slightly uncomfortably as I didn’t want others to notice his hand on my thigh,
“Take It Back… What the fuck are you doing.”
I tilted my head around to see the people. All of them were staring at the stage. No one was looking at us. But I was already getting uncomfortable since his hand didn’t leave and caressed my thigh suggestively.
I scolded him through my eyes but he just smirked cunningly, moving his hand up slowly to feel my body tensing. After a few seconds, he came near my face to whisper dangerously.
“Giving your punishment for challenging Azrael De Luca!”
