CHAPTER 808. PRINCESS BY DAY.. You ChooseSomething in her felt extremely calm, and it wasn’t because of the highly trained team of men behind her, but because, no matter what happened, she no longer had to hide from anyone who she was or what she was capable of.Four SUVs stopped in front of that house, one that those small-time wannabe mafiosos apparently believed no one would ever find. And the moment two of them tried to block the path of the girl dressed in leather, wearing low-heeled boots and a defiant gaze, the first thing they found themselves facing was a Desert Eagle pointed straight at one of their stomachs.“If you have half a neuron, you know damn well you’re not surviving a shot from this,” Dandara growled. “How about you open the f*cking door like a proper gentleman and send someone to get your boss? I need to talk to him.”She watched as the guy gaped in fear, because he didn’t need to be warned twice that this woman was capable—more than capable. He took a trembling
CHAPTER 809. PRINCESS BY DAY. A Woman You Can’t Negotiate WithAnd it was nothing but an illusion because there was no way Dandara Hopkins was going to accept any answer other than the one she expected. The man in front of her looked at the photos again and let out a grunt—half irritation, half reluctant agreement.“They’re in the basement, along with two others, taking inventory of the weapons.”“Perfect. Call them,” Dandara ordered. The man walked slowly to one of the doors on the ground floor, opened it, and leaned inside.“Frede, Timeo, get up here!” he shouted. The two men emerged, oblivious to what was happening upstairs—the basement was clearly soundproofed enough to keep them unaware.But the moment they poked their heads out, they were thrown to the ground, and within seconds, a pair of long-barreled guns were pressed against the backs of their necks.“Now. Do you prefer I do it here, or can I take them with me?” Dandara asked the boss. He simply shrugged.“Take them. These t
CHAPTER 810. PRINCESS BY DAY. Eternal RestShe was furious. There was no other word to describe how she felt at that moment. Furious, frustrated—and patience was not one of her virtues. However, Dandara’s steps slowed as she approached the property, just enough to hear the voice of the man speaking inside.She had already noticed that the walls were crumbling and that ninety percent of the windows were missing, so the only reason Mueslik seemed to think he could shout to his heart’s content was the absolute solitude surrounding him.The property was vast, and perhaps he imagined no one would think to look for Cameron there.“You just had to be screwing the principal!” the architect bellowed in rage. “It couldn’t be the stupid girl from the café! You couldn’t just screw the copy girl like every other damn architect in the firm! No! You had to go and do a favor for the future principal of the fucking school!”Dandara heard a grunt of exertion, followed by another one—closer this time—be
CHAPTER 811. PRINCESS BY DAY. . Interpreting SignsNo matter how many times she repeated it to herself, something inside her knew that nothing would ever be truly okay again. Seeing Cameron there, on the ground, struggling for something as simple as breathing, brought out the absolute worst version of herself. The only thing she regretted was not being able to bring that bastard Mueslik back to life just to kill him again."Look at me, Cameron, look at me..." she pleaded, because it was obvious he had been beaten too badly.She tried to clear his face, brushing his hair aside, then hurriedly reached for the phone in her pocket."Dad, are you waiting for an invitation?" she snapped just as the only door in the place was kicked open with perfect precision."Of course not, princess. Dad’s here! What do we need...? Is there no one left to ki—? Shit!" he growled under his breath at the sight of Cameron’s bloodied face, and he didn’t even have to call Billy.Between the two of them, they un
CHAPTER 812. PRINCESS BY DAY. A Workplace LawsuitUnfortunately, Dandara couldn’t stick her tongue out at him or shake her fist in his face because, first of all, he was her father, and second, she was no longer five years old. However, none of that changed the fact that she really wanted to.She knew she had no right to complain, but the problem was that it was just too damn hard not to."I’d better go see him. Because one thing has nothing to do with the other, Dad, and this has nothing to do with what you’re saying," she grumbled before turning around and following the doctor to ask if she could see Cameron."Right, and the sun doesn’t rise in the east or set in the west," John sighed, trying to hold back his laughter. Then he turned to his best friend. "Billy, we’re gonna have to pull off a little special intervention regarding—""Yeah, yeah, I know!" Billy interrupted, blowing a white lock of hair off his forehead. It was almost ridiculous that they were now two grown, mature, an
CHAPTER 813. PRINCESS BY DAY. A Smart WomanIt wasn’t a lie—good judgment had gone straight to hell and beyond. But every time Dandara looked at him, she couldn’t see a man in a hospital bed. She couldn’t see an architect who had been beaten. She couldn’t see an old friend who was hurt.The only thing she could see were those five minutes when she could have been too late. The only thing she could think about was how she might have turned his body over and realized he wasn’t breathing—that he was already gone, that she hadn’t made it in time.Every time Dandara looked at him, eyes closed, his face twisted in brief pain, all she could do was relive the fear she had felt that night. All she could do was imagine what it would have been like knowing Cameron would never wake up again.So, on one hand, she was completely incapable of admitting that she still cared about him, especially after he had broken her heart. But unfortunately, that didn’t mean she could stop feeling it."I swear, I’
CHAPTER 814. PRINCESS BY DAY. Two in the FogIt was absurdly unbearable; the cold brushed against their skin, but the real heat flaring between them was far more intense—a mixture of nerves and excitement that made the air vibrate. Dandara hated those eyes locked onto hers, as if he were trying to read the words he knew damn well she would never say."You arrogant idiot!" she muttered, feeling his embrace tighten around her, making time itself seem to stop.Cameron's arms wrapped around Dandara with a familiarity that sent a whirlwind of sensations through her. The closeness of his body, the warmth of his skin—it was like a goddamn magnetic field, making it nearly impossible for Dandara to control the sparks leaping between them. Every breath was thick with Cameron’s scent, and at some point, she could only close her eyes and let herself go."You can’t have forgotten this," he whispered, his breath brushing softly against her lips."The picture next to your bed says you haven’t either
CHAPTER 815. PRINCESS BY DAY.. ...And You Love MeDream, nightmare—this woman could do whatever she wanted to him, and Cameron wouldn’t protest. God knew he wouldn’t protest!The only thing he wished was to be in better shape—or at least in a little less pain—but every kiss from Dandara sent adrenaline rushing to the tips of his hair. If he had to cry about it, he’d cry later, but at that moment, the only thing he could think about was devouring her… or the other way around!It was hard even to lower his gaze, but when Cameron did, he felt like he was about to collapse. Dandara looked up at him, her eyes gleaming with a mix of desire and curiosity, while he fought against the rapid rhythm of anticipation. He watched her lean in slowly, never breaking eye contact, savoring the power she had over him in that moment. Her hands traced the insides of his thighs, moving upward with calculated delicacy, until she pulled down his boxer briefs to reveal the beast."Just kill me already!" he pa
