UNDER HIS RULES

Jimmy massaged his temples forcefully. He had been restless since earlier, especially when Gerald said something he never wanted to hear. His uncle knew their wicked plans. His visit three days ago had been a warning for him to be cautious.

Even if he went far away, what about his family? Despite Jimmy being a scumbag, he still cared about his father and mother.

“What’s the next plan?” Gerald’s question angered Jimmy. He threw the glass in front of him without hitting the boss, but it still infuriated Gerald.

“I didn’t come here to receive your anger. I told you not to act recklessly, but you brought Sam here!” Gerald couldn’t contain his frustration.

Jimmy laughed. Gerald’s words actually made the blood in his veins boil with anger. His head couldn’t contain all the emotions anymore, especially since Gerald, whom he trusted to handle the situation, was now blaming him.

“The triggerman was from Eagle Wing, Gerald, in case you forgot.”

“My trusted man died because of your actions, Jimmy!” Gerald stood up from his seat. “How dare you underestimate us!”

The two sides that were once united to bring down one name were now at odds, with neither willing to back down. In Gerald’s eyes, Jimmy was behaving too recklessly. He only gave him half of his trust, unlike Alfred. Unfortunately, the old man doubted him at the last moment. If Gerald’s request had been fulfilled without many words, he would have taken out Jimmy first.

No one was allowed to touch his boss.

Unfortunately… the boss no longer loved his pet dog. So the dog sought a new master who could fulfill its desires. Stupidly, it forgot that the new master was even more greedy than its previous owner.

“Sir,” Paul interjected quickly.

Both of them turned quickly to Paul, who entered the room with someone. The person wore a hat pulled down low to partially cover their face. Their clothing was slightly concealed, but upon a single glance, Gerald and Jimmy were certain that the person next to Paul was a woman.

“Your interruption must be important, Paul,” Gerald warned immediately.

“I hope you like our new guest who just arrived.”

Jimmy glanced at Gerald as if questioning who this person was. Gerald himself shook his head slightly as he seemed to have never met this person before.

“Who are you?” Jimmy asked firmly.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The figure slowly raised their head. They slowly took off the hat they were wearing, revealing their blond hair. Their eyes stared at the two people in front of them without hesitation. They unbuttoned their blouse, which covered their body, revealing themselves wearing a transparent flower-printed blouse that clearly showed their figure.

“I’m Anabella Jovanka.”

Gerald furrowed his brow. The name sounded somewhat unfamiliar, but he had heard someone mention that name before. But where? Meanwhile, Jimmy still wasn’t willing to lower his guard.

Seeing that none of them had realized who she was, she unbuttoned her blouse. Some of the guards in the room averted their gaze slightly, although there was curiosity in their eyes. Bella was never afraid to expose herself here.

She just wanted to regain her position.

To be by Sam’s side. Removing Beatrice was her current goal.

So, she would do whatever it took to make her wish come true. That included getting a tattoo that she believed resembled Sam’s. She had waited for three long years, but Sam had never been willing to label the one woman who stood by his side. Until Beatrice came along.

Where that girl, without any clear reason, got what she had desired so much.

That stamp couldn’t be easily transferred. It was always near Sam and tightly guarded by his trusted assistants.

Her desire grew even stronger, especially

when she found out Beatrice left with Sam. Just the two of them. Even though they were accompanied by some of his men, Bella still felt heartbroken. What she had gone through with Sam seemed to be just a temporary satisfaction.

“You don’t want to stay, Sam?” Bella asked one time. She had just finished a heated encounter with Sam. The ruler had started putting his clothes back on.

“I have some business,” he said shortly.

“But you just came back, right?”

Sam gave Bella a disapproving look. “Know your boundaries, Bella.”

Although there were many things Bella wanted to say, they all disappeared. Until the man’s back disappeared behind the bedroom door, Bella felt like she was just a source of satisfaction for Sam. Even though she knew that every time Sam returned, his only objective was his bedroom. That made her feel flattered and start dreaming about what if she became the woman by Sam’s side? The only one?

Those hopes shattered when Beatrice arrived.

So here she was. She would do whatever it took. Just like her words to Beatrice back then.

“I’ll pay you back for everything, Beatrice. Just wait for the right time.”

“I’m not interested in call girls,” Jimmy said sarcastically. “Drag her out.”

Bella scoffed. “Open your eyes, Foolish Sir!” She pointed directly at the tattoo on her chest, which made Gerald stare in disbelief. Ignoring Jimmy’s displeasure due to Bella’s outburst just now.

“Dragon… twins?”

“Yes.” Bella adjusted her clothes again. “I’m Sam’s woman. The person you’re after, right?” She walked confidently, as the initially condescending gazes turned into question marks. She casually sat on the available sofa. So relaxed. She even poured herself a drink from one of the bottles she believed contained alcohol.

“Uh… good stuff,” she praised with a chuckle. She took a slow sip from the glass that had been filled earlier, savoring the sensation that greeted her taste buds.

“What do you want?”

Bella closed her eyes slightly. She took a soft breath, then comfortably leaned back on the sofa. “You’re fishing for Sam in an old-fashioned way, and it’s pointless.” She thoroughly enjoyed the curious faces in the room.

“If you want to defeat Sam, make him kneel,” Bella deliberately paused her statement.

“Quickly say it!” Jimmy ordered.

Bella burst into laughter. “You really have no patience.” She straightened her back. “But I’ll give you a hint.”

“What do we get?” Gerald chimed in.

“Sam. Who else?”

Gerald and Jimmy exchanged glances.

“Kill the woman by Sam’s side right now. Right in front of me.” She took another sip of her drink. “You get Sam, and I get that damn woman.”
