Dark Romance: A Cruel Obsession

Vivian ignored Camar’s warning, struggling and crying while pleading with Alajos not to leave. “You will die, Alajos, you will die.”

“I love you, Vivian.” Alajos rarely admitted his love in front of so many people, but at this moment he was fearless. Sincerely and passionately, he said those words, different from before with a sense of parting.

Before boarding the ship, he tightly clenched his fist and silently looked back at her, “Trust me, I will come back.”

Heavy dark clouds hung over the sky, the sea breeze blew as cold as a knife, chilling to the bones.

Two yachts set sail simultaneously, heading in opposite directions.

Vivian was still sobbing, heartbroken. She regretted coming out with Camar. She didn’t get to see her daughter and lost Alajos.

“Let me be with him! Let us be together.” Vivian almost struggled to throw herself into the sea, but Camar restrained her.

The situation was extremely dangerous, but others dared not move, only watching helplessly as the yachts sailed away.

The helmsman was also at a loss, asking his captain, “Should we chase after them?”

Alajos’ figure grew smaller, and Camar suddenly made a move.

Vivian turned her head and saw Camar pressing the detonator.

“No…” Vivian cried out in despair, but the expected explosion did not happen. She saw the yacht carrying Alajos not exploding, but instead turning around and speeding towards them with a sense of ‘together in death.’

In shock, Camar cursed and repeatedly pressed the detonator, but it seemed to be broken, and no explosion occurred.

What’s going on? Could it be…

In a sudden moment of clarity amidst his frustration, Camar viciously looked at Vivian, attempting to press another switch. But it was too late, Alajos’ yacht crashed into his yacht, and the detonator in Camar’s hand fell into the sea.

Such an attack was undoubtedly dangerous, as the bomb on Vivian could explode at any moment due to this impact.

But they had no choice but to take a leap of faith.

Camar immediately raised his gun to attack the detonator on Vivian, but Emmert was quicker. With a gunshot, Camar’s hand holding the gun was splattered, and the gun dropped somewhere.

At the same time, Alajos boarded their yacht, rushing to Vivian’s side.

Not forgetting the bomb tied to Vivian, Alajos bent down to disarm her and threw it forcefully into the sea.

After experiencing life and death, the two embraced tightly, feeling each other’s warmth and heartbeat. What seemed like a simple hug almost became a distant dream.

Alajos continued to comfort Vivian, her body still trembling, her breath quick from crying.

“It’s okay, darling, I’m here.”

Vivian sobbed, lifting her head from Alajos’ embrace, her hands clumsily caressing his face. How long had they been apart? Alajos had scars on his face and had lost weight, but it didn’t matter.

Vivian reassured that Alajos was safe, kissed his forehead, saying, “I missed you.”

“I love you, Alajos.”

“And I love you too, I will always love you.”

On the other side, Camar was in agony, unable to get up, blood gushing from the bullet hole in his wrist.

With seven or eight guns pointed at his head, Camar, with bloodshot eyes, stared in disbelief at his two companions – they were also pointing guns at him.

“Why?” Camar asked in anguish.

“The price of loyalty to you is damnation, while ET can bring them wealth and glory.” A ship with the ET logo silently approached, Noah in a suit, standing on the deck with a king-like attitude, cradling a baby in his arms.

Standing on the ship’s deck, overlooking the wretched Camar, “Noah…”

Camar’s mouth trembled, eyes turning gray.

Just with that one “Noah” from Camar, unconsciously, Vivian turned to look at her unexpected “brother.” Upon seeing the bundle in his arms, a strong wave of warmth surged from her heart.

That was her child, her daughter!

No evidence was needed; Vivian was absolutely certain.

“Finally, we meet, Vivian.” Facing Vivian, Noah’s expression softened, “I am your cousin, Noah Davis.”

“Cousin?” Vivian was more puzzled.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

But she couldn’t wait for Noah’s explanation; she eagerly wanted to hold her daughter, “My child.”

It was the first formal meeting of mother and daughter, but the baby, like recognizing her mother’s breath, lay in her arms, neither crying nor fussing. With a pair of light brown eyes resembling Alajos’, she glanced at her father, then her gentle mother, grinning without teeth.

Full of tenderness, Vivian’s heart, even in her disheveled state, couldn’t hide the maternal radiance beneath her gentle demeanor.

Such an adorable little baby, her daughter.

Alajos held her and the child together from behind, never feeling so satisfied.

His wife was safe, his daughter was lovely and healthy, what else could he ask for…

The two gazed at the baby with the same tender yet foolish eyes, wanting to take another look, until Noah reminded them, “She just came out of the incubator, can’t stay outside for too long. Vivian, take her back to the cabin.”

Vivian looked back at Alajos, and Alajos nodded, “Let Mare escort you back.”

Mare had already stood behind Vivian dutifully.

Vivian smiled faintly at Mare, then glanced at Camar, who was now subdued on the ground by everyone. He almost killed Alajos.

Though Vivian still hadn’t figured out what exactly happened, why the bomb didn’t explode in the end, she was certain that it wasn’t Camar’s intention. Camar’s hatred towards Alajos exceeded her imagination.

Although she felt sorry and sympathetic towards Camar’s plight, if Camar wanted to harm Alajos in this way…

Sorry, she was Capo’s wife, the queen of Houston’s mafia, and she would never allow anyone to hurt her beloved husband and child.

With her child in her arms, Vivian left without giving a second thought to pleading for Camar. This was unexpected for Alajos. It made him feel extremely surprised, though he had already made up his mind not to spare Camar regardless of Vivian’s pleas.

Noah clearly understood Alajos, as his first words to Alajos were to take Camar away.

“Not possible.” Alajos refused, “I will kill him myself; he must pay for his actions.”

“Of course.” Noah had no objection to this, but he wouldn’t allow Alajos to act, “Camar is an ET mercenary, he defied my orders, betrayed his oath of loyalty, he must face judgment in front of all ET mercenaries.”

Noah tried to persuade Alajos, “It is a ritual, a leader’s deterrence to his followers.”

“You can bring his body back; that’s the best deterrent!” Alajos said fiercely.

“I can judge him, even kill him personally, but that must be after the trial.” Noah pressed Alajos’ gun, covering the barrel with his palm.

His tone was not as blunt and domineering as Alajos’, but it was firm, “I must protect every member of ET.”

Alajos scowled, “He’s a traitor!”

“Until the moment the judgment declares his death, he is still my follower.”

Alajos glared at Noah fiercely, their silent confrontation lingering until Noah said, “Vivian is waiting for you.”

With those words, the tense atmosphere suddenly eased, and Alajos showed a hint of compromise. Noah finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Cooperate…”

With a gunshot, Camar’s agonizing scream resounded.
