chapter 69

Every step Eric took towards Vicky rang alarm bells in his mind.There was a chair in his path but Eric kicked it hard. Even after killing the culprits, Eric couldn't calm down. He felt an urge to destroy everything that lied in his way."Boss…""Your men kidnapped Lucy unnecessarily. You brought her to a place like this. You could have killed her. How should I punish you for this?"Eric expressionlessly stared at him, but his impassive gaze was more dangerous and fiercer than ever.Vicky dropped down to his knees and bowed his head in front of his feet. Naturally, it had no effect on Eric."I should-""Boss please forgive me! I really had no idea that she is your woman!"Eric froze.Pssssshhh…..That was what Eric felt. The anger inside him suddenly deflated as if somebody poked a balloon and the air dissipated from it.Vicky was trembling hard. "Boss, I swear on my honor as a leader. I wouldn't have brought her here if I knew that she was your woman...In all these years, we-we never heard of the Mafia King d-dating anybody...Boss, one chance! Please give us one chance! I beg you!"His subordinates dropped down to their knees and begged him. "Y-Yes Boss. We didn't know. How can we dare touch your woman? Please Boss…"Eric asked, "What did you say?""B-Boss, please forgive us! Please give us one chance!""Before that."Vicky was confused. "T-that we didn't know of you dating anybody…"Eric pursed his lips. "Before that."What did I say before that?One of his subordinates tugged him. He whispered, "Boss, it's about how you called that woman his woman…""Oh-oh yeah!""Boss! I didn't know that she is your woman!"My woman…Eric was in a daze. The term 'his woman' felt like sweet music to his ears. "Say it again.""I didn't know that-""Not the full sentence. Just those two words."Vicky sobbed. Why is Boss testing me like this?"Your woman."
