I'm out here thinking everything's fine—meanwhile, you've been letting this asshole take you out behind my back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasha opened her mouth, but no words came. Her heart was pounding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn't meant to hurt anyone. She hadn't even thought things through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had all started off so simple—just a few dates. A distraction. A curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ross had a way of making her feel seen in a way Wesley never had. It had spiraled before she could stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're embarrassing yourself,\" Ross said coolly, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't mocking, but his words cut deep. \"Put your ego back in your pocket before someone gets hurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the last straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck you, Ross!\" Wesley shouted, his voice cracking under the weight of rage and betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, without warning, he reached into his jacket and yanked out a pistol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps echoed around the park as a few bystanders, who had started to take notice of the escalating argument, scattered for cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Birds flapped away from a nearby tree as the tension exploded into chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasha screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross didn't flinch. His gaze locked on Wesley, cold and focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen this kind of recklessness before—guys who let their emotions rule their actions, who brought weapons to solve problems they didn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wasn't the time for bravado. One wrong move, and someone could die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be stupid,\" Ross said, his voice sharp now, commanding. \"You pull that trigger, and your life is over. Not just because of what'll happen to me—but because of what'll happen to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wesley's hand trembled slightly. He hadn't expected Ross to stay calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted him to panic, to back off, to show fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ross wasn't giving him that satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Sasha—her voice finally returned—stepped forward, her face pale. \"Wesley, please… put it down. This isn't you. Just—just stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, everything hung in the balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck you! Go to hell first!\" Wesley shouted, his voice cracking with rage and desperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't thinking anymore. Reason had long since left him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he did what far too many foolish, jealous boyfriends had done before him—he got stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shots rang out in rapid succession, deafening and chaotic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People nearby screamed and scattered, ducking for cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Birds took to the sky in a flurry of wings. The air itself seemed to split.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ross didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each bullet missed him by mere inches, whizzing past with deadly intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed, not in fear—but in cold, focused resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the very next second, Ross dashed forward like a bullet of his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blur of motion, he closed the distance and was instantly upon Wesley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His foot came up hard and fast—a brutal kick straight to the groin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wesley cried out, his body folding in pain as he collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ross wasn't finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped low, straddled him, and unleashed a storm of punishing blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fists rained down on Wesley's face, knuckles cracking against bone with merciless precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each punch was calculated, vicious, and full of a personal edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross had always taken special satisfaction in wrecking a pretty face like this—and Wesley's was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered across the pavement as the handsome features that once inspired envy were reduced to a swollen, broken mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Stop…!\" Wesley choked through broken lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ross didn't hear him—not through the red haze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only when Sasha finally snapped out of her shock and rushed over that the assault came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ross, stop! You're going to kill him!\" she cried, throwing her arms around him from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her touch was soft, trembling, but firm. Ross froze, her voice cutting through his fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He allowed himself to be pulled back, his chest heaving as he glared down at the broken man beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tense silence followed, broken only by Sasha's ragged breathing and Wesley's groans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the sound of sirens in the distance—approaching fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, flashing red and blue lights painted the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Police officers stormed in, weapons drawn, shouting commands as they secured the area and disarmed Wesley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medics rushed to his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross stood tall, blood staining his knuckles, calm as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasha looked up at him, eyes wide with conflicting emotions—fear, relief, awe. Ross didn't say a word. He didn't need to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd made his statement loud and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross was briefly questioned by the police, but they let him go soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple eyewitnesses backed up his story, and the nearby security cameras had captured the entire incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a clear case of self-defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wesley, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. He was rushed to the hospital, escorted by officers who kept a close eye on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the stunt he had pulled, jail time was inevitable. Ross would make sure of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No amount of money or connections was going to save Wesley from the consequences—not this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the chaos settled, Ross turned to Sasha. \"Come on. I'll take you home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They resumed their walk in silence, the tension from earlier still lingering in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sasha's apartment was close by, just a few blocks away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night had grown colder, quieter, as if the city itself was catching its breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they finally reached her building, Ross turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he stepped back, Sasha reached out and caught his sleeve. Her voice was soft, barely above a whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't go. I don't want to be alone tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the kind of request Ross had been expecting—perhaps even waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what she'd just been through, it was only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A near-death experience could shake even the strongest heart, and tonight, she didn't want to face the darkness by herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross looked at her for a long moment, then gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" he said gently. \"I'll stay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1011,"2026-06-09T06:18:58.540Z",1,"novelbin.me","6057bc17de71422539f3b3faf1e6c62034a9663c4f578f09616b767ac08ee004","evil-mc-s-ntr-harem-chapter-658","evil-mc-s-ntr-harem-chapter-656",1212,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevil-mc-s-ntr-harem-cover.jpg"]
