Chapter 186
Jack
It takes everything in me not to beat this man to death.
I clench my fists.
"Okay, I'll handle it," I say to Ciel's father.
He leaves. Once he's gone from the little secluded cafe where we had this conversation, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
I'm feeling murderous.
So the Baron is being threatened by a duke—to set him up with Ciel, or pay millions back for contract breach. Threatening to expose Ciel's past.
I clench my fists.
That can't come to light. I know Ciel is the victim here, but I've seen how they treat omegas in this society. I won't let anything happen to him.
Since this is how that duke wants to play, so be it.
I'll give him something to be busy about.
