Chapter 1391
With gritted teeth and hot breaths, Andrew repositioned Aspen and continued his relentless assault.
Aspenโs face flushed with panic, her lips parting to beg for mercy. Yet, before a word escaped, her snow-white neck arched sharply as she gasped.
A storm raged over her โ inescapable, overwhelming.
The night became a cycle of sweet torment. Once, twice โ she lost count of how many times she teetered on the edge of consciousness, certain Andrew would be the death of her.
Of course, this kind of โdeathโ did not frighten her โ it thrilled her.
By the end, Aspen clung to Andrew desperately, their sweat-slicked bodies fused together atop the drenched sheets.
Meanwhile, Rafael and Mosby also had a busy night at a luxury villa on Blumedaleโs outskirts. Two of Gabo Creekโs most popular starlets lay sprawled unconscious on the large bed that was now stained crimson.
Rafael gestured for his secretary to pour two glasses of wine. Lighting a cigar, he smirked at Mosby and said, โDrink. Youโll need it after that performance. Damn, Iโm all bloody down there!โ
Mosbyโs earlier defeat had vanished from his expression. He raised his glass with a smirk, clinking it against Rafaelโs. โYour spot never disappoints, Mr. Driscoll. Even a man who just lost his whole family could find paradise here.โ
โThoughโฆ maybe ease up on the performance enhancers? Itโs not good for your health.โ
Rafael waved him off. โPlease. My medical team is the best money can buy. Iโm actually taking the famous Titan Essence Pill; I could go another 300 rounds right now.โ
Mosby laughed. โImpressive as always, Mr. Driscoll! If you go for another round, those starlets will need ambulances.โ
Rafael shrugged. โThey want fame? My resources donโt come cheap. Pretty faces mean pretty suffering.โ
Suddenly, Mosbyโs mood darkened. โBut all this pleasure canโt erase that bastard, Andrew. If he isnโt removed, heโll keep overshadowing me in Blumedale until Iโm nothing.โ
Rafael let out a cold, chilling smile. โDonโt worry. The Grand Viper has already made his move. The remaining pieces of the map will soon be in our hands.โ
Mosby clenched his jaw. โI donโt just want the map. I want Andrew dead.โ
Rafael shook his head. โKilling him isnโt the hard part. But right now, our top priority is completing the map and finding the treasure. Word about this relic is spreading fast. If we donโt move quickly, and the Phelans โ or any other ambitious families โ decide to interfere, weโll have a real problem on our hands.โ
Mosby nodded in agreement. โYouโre right, Mr. Driscoll. We need to secure all the remaining fragments first. Once this lost treasure from the Crimson Dynasty is in our possessionโฆ whether itโs you or me, either of us could rise straight into the upper echelon."
A flicker of pure ambition lit up Rafaelโs eyes. โI may have the Driscoll name, and yeah โ Iโve got enough wealth and influence to shake the world. But the Driscoll family belongs to my older brother, not me. Iโm still the seventh son. If I want to be the one calling the shots, Iโve got to carve out my own empire.โ
Mosby suddenly chuckled. โMr. Driscoll, the Grand Viper is ranked third on the Underworld Index. That makes him a certified martial king โ he could shatter boulders and split the earth with a single blow. So, what if, while retrieving the map for you, he just so happens to kill Andrew in the process?โ
Rafael scoffed. โIf that happens, itโll just prove one thing โ Andrewโs luck finally ran out. From the moment that little bastard dared to disrespect me, his death was already written in stone.โ
