An Understated Dominance By Marina Vittori Chapter 18

Chapter 18  “Why are you just standing there? Hurry up and beg Mr. Spanner for forgiveness!” Chris chimed in, taking advantage of the situation to add to Dustin’s humiliation.  Chris was green with jealousy when Dustin was showing off earlier, so he was now  trying to get some payback.  “Will he kneel? Or will he not? If he does, he will forever be too ashamed to show his face. But if he doesn’t, he might be dead or maimed once Edward retaliates,” Chris thought.  “Hey punk, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to make amends! I’ll spare you if you grovel at my feet today. If not, don’t blame me for being merciless.” Edward jabbed Dustin’s chest with his finger with a smug expression on his face.  “What does it matter if he knows how to fight when he has no power and no status? In the eyes of the public, he’s nothing more than a foot soldier,” he continued mentally.  “Are you aware that you’re playing with fire?” Dustin asked as he looked at Edward’s finger.  “Playing with fire?” Edward smirked. “Not only do I want to play with fire, but I also want to play with your woman! Believe it or not, I’m going to have my way with her tomorrow while you watch. And not only me, but my men will each get a turn as well, and I want you to watch it all helplessly. I want you to understand what it’s like to despair, to believe that living is worse than death!”  Dustin’s expression instantly turned thunderous at Edward’s words, and he could no longer hold back his rage.  “You asked for this!” he shouted as his hand shot forward to forcefully grab Edward by  the throat and lift him above his head.  He then raised his other hand and ruthlessly landed two punches on Edward’s abdomen.  Edward made a gagging sound as he felt his stomach churn, making him want to vomit, but he found that he couldn’t as his throat was being constricted.  His face soon turned red as he felt himself suffocating. Suddenly, he had a sense that he had made a grave mistake.  “Stop it!” Dahlia yelled, moving forward to intervene.  Dustin ignored her and dealt another vicious punch, this time to Edward’s crotch. The  gruesome sound of flesh being minced could be heard before blood flowed to the floor.  Edward let out a groan as his body spasmed. He was in such excruciating pain that he couldn’t cry out even though he wanted to, and in the end, his head lulled to one side as  he fainted.  Everyone was stunned as they stared at the bloodstained area.  Not even in their wildest dreams would they ever imagine that Dustin could be so cruel  as to discontinue Edward’s family line with a single punch.  After all, he was Sir Spanner’s son! Sir Spanner was the kind of man who would come after you for touching even a strand of hair on his son’s head, much less injuring him.  Safe to say, from today onward, Dustin had incurred Sir Spanner’s vengeful wrath.  “Have you lost your mind!” Dahlia’s expression changed drastically as she forcefully shoved Dustin. “Do you even know what you’ve done? You’ve just gotten yourself into deep shit this time!”  An apology or money could be used to rectify the situation if it was only a light injury or bruise, but there’s no way Trevor will let things slide so easily now that Edward has  been beaten to such a state.  “All I did was take care of one of society’s scum, is that so wrong?” Dustin shot back, perfectly composed.  “That’s not the point, the point is you shouldn’t have harmed him!” Dahlia rebuked,  frowning.  “Hey Dustin, you shouldn’t drag us all down with you if you’re so eager to die! Do you know what the consequences of harming Sir Spanner’s son are?” Chris‘ face was flushed with rage.  Although Dustin was the one who had harmed Edward, Chris had also shoved Edward previously; hence, he’s also worried that he wouldn’t be able to get away with it when Sir Spanner investigates and finds out about it.  “Alright, that’s enough! Since it’s come to this, you should hurry up and run. Get as far  from here as you can while there’s still time!” Dahlia reacted quickly.  away  She knew that once news of Edward’s maiming got out, Sir Spanner would surely be furious. And when that time came, Dustin would be at a dead end once he mobilizes all  of his forces.  “I don’t think I need to,” Dustin stated, his demeanor still indifferent.  “Stop acting tough! Sir Spanner is more powerful than you think, your martial arts. skills won’t be enough to save you!” Dahlia chastized.  Even if he knew how to fight, he couldn’t stop bullets!  […]

Chapter 17  “Then go to die!” Dustin stated expressionlessly, but his hard gaze was unnerving.  “Go to thell?” Edward burst out laughing.  Even the group of bodyguards standing behind him burst into laughter; all of them looked at Dustin as though he were an idiot.  “You little punk! Don’t you know who I am? You’ve got some nerve speaking to me that way,” Edward said cockily.  “I don’t know who you are, and I couldn’t care less. You have three seconds to let her go, or else,” Dustin stated plainly.  His words instantly caused a stir; even the people who were holding Dahlia were  shocked.  None of them expected that Dustin would say such a thing; he was remarkably brave compared to the silent Chris.  However, such bravery was useless.  “You really don’t know what’s good for you. You’re going to die!” Chris‘ face was full of resentment because Dustin’s show of bravado only made his cowardice even more  apparent.  Naturally, Chris was irritated and even filled with resentment when a good–for- nothing like Dustin was braver than he was.  “Are you fucking insane?” Edward looked Dustin up and down before continuing, “So you want to play hero, huh? Fine! I’ll see just what you’ve got!”  With that, he raised his hand and gave another signal.  Two burly bodyguards swiftly charged forward at the same time to tackle Dustin. Both of them were 6.3 feet tall, extremely muscular, and the size of a bear. They each had an imposing presence.  Dustin looked like a mere child in comparison, so everyone present assumed that this confrontation would be over without suspense.  They were wrong.  As they drew nearer to him, Dustin delivered two swift punches that connected loudly with each of the men’s faces.  And just like that, the two huge men collapsed to the floor as though they had been struck by lightning and were motionless.  “Huh?”  Everyone was visibly shocked by what they had just seen.  No one understood what had happened as, in the blink of an eye, both of the bodyguards were on the floor.  Meanwhile, Dustin was standing there unscathed.  “Fuck! What did that punk just do?” Edward’s expression sank.  The two men who had just fallen were his most capable bodyguards; they could take on a group of people on their own without any problem.  Hence, it was strange that they were both laying unmoving on the floor after just one face–off.  “This is your last chance. Let her go,” Dustin threaten coldly.  “In your dreams! Get him!” Edward retorted angrily and waved his hand to signal his  men.  The remaining bodyguards behind him immediately surrounded Dustin, but he merely scoffed and attacked first, not wasting any more time on words.  His movements were as fast as lightning, and his attacks were extremely fierce. Each of his punches connected loudly with its target.  The burly bodyguards were utterly defenseless, like sheep waiting to be slaughtered, in the face of Dustin, who was like a ferocious tiger.  Muffled grunts could be heard, and in the short span of a few breaths, they were all lying on the floor.  The hall was completely silent as the last bodyguard dropped to the floor with an audible thud.  All the guests had their jaws slack and were staring at Dustin with wide eyes as though he were an anomaly. None of them would’ve ever guessed that he was so fearsome.  He had effortlessly taken down so many men with his own strength, just like in a movie  scene.  “How is this guy so strong?” Chris‘ eyes were wide open in disbelief.  “How can it be? Is this really that piece of trash, Dustin Rhys?” a dumbfounded Lyra wondered out loud, feeling unsettled.  “He… knows how to fight?” Dahlia had an indecipherable expression on her face once she came back to her senses.

Chapter 16 “What the hell? Why did he bring so many people?” Chris gulped, feeling faint for some reason. Weren’t they supposed to fight one-on-one? Edward had disrespected the rules of a fair fight by involving a gang. Though Chris was cursing in his heart, he had no choice but to face them head-on. No

Chapter 15 Never in Dustin’s wildest dreams would he think that was how Dahlia viewed him. She had no faith in him at all. As it turned out, three years of marriage meant nothing when compared to an outsider. “You’re right. I’m despicable, while Chris is a hero. I slandered him. Are you happy now?”

Chapter 14 “We were chosen?” Dahlia was shocked. She couldn’t believe his words. The general manager wasn’t talking about her place on the candidate list, but was referring to their appointment as the Harmon family’s partner! They’d even skipped the final assessment. What was happening? “Did you mean what you said?” Dahlia questioned tentatively. “Of

Chapter 12 After entering Mirage, Lyra vented her anger. “Ugh, that woman is hot, but she’s blind to fall for an incompetent fool like Dustin.” “I know, right? What a waste,” Chris chimed in with a long sigh. He was rich and handsome, so why was he unable to meet a beautiful woman too? “That’s

She did not

Chapter 9 “What?” Dustin’s face froze. He never thought Natasha would say something like that. Taking a closer look, he found that her beauty was different from Dahlia’s. She was sensual like Aphrodite, and her smile could take anyone’s breath away. In short, she was a natural femme fatale, ensnaring men with her bewitching charms.
