JACE's POV

While watching the taxi go away from me, I felt like an invisible hand was squeezing my heart out. It felt painful to hear that after all these years, Christine haven't forgiven me yet. She hasn't forgotten what happened in the past yet.

I chuckled bitterly. Who am I to complain when I myself couldn't forget either? It felt like it was just yesterday. If I could only turn back time, but I knew, that would be impossible. Now, the only thing that I could do was to try to make everything fall into place.

I need to do something to fix my wife and I's relationship. We belong together and no one and nothing could change that!

"I will never give up on our marriage, mi amor. Until you tell me that you don't love me anymore, I'll never give up on us." When the taxi was out of my sight, I slowly got inside my car like all the life in me dissipated from my body.

I wanted to follow her but I knew that she would just get angrier at me. I didn't want her to totally loathe me by forcing her to listen to me when she wasn't ready yet. I lost my patience when I forcefully took her out of the party a while ago because of jealousy.

I suddenly realized that I've been nothing but a jerk towards her during our past encounters these past few days. It was the only way I knew to handle her anger. I was full of frustration, especially when she told me that she wanted divorce and didn't know how to react properly towards the situation.

Now, the least thing I could do was to leave her alone and give her some time to think and calm down.

I started the engine and then maneuvered my car out of there. I wanted to go home but while driving along the road, I saw a bar and decided to go there.

I already drank a couple of shots of margarita at the party and I kinda felt tipsy but after Christine and I's fight just now, I felt like I needed more. I wanted to forget the pain and frustration that I was feeling.

While drinking at the bar, I suddenly received a call from one of our employees at TBG club.

"Sir Jace, I think you need to come over here at TBG club right now." My forehead knitted together.

"Why? What happened?"

"Your wife is here and she's already drunk. A couple of guys have been trying to hit on her since a while ago." Tristan, our bartender informed me. I gritted my teeth. All my friends were still at the party but thankfully, the employees there in the club knew what to do in times like this.

"Make sure that no one could approach her until I arrived." I instructed sternly. Just when I decided to leave her alone for now, this happened. I mentally shook my head.

"What the hell are you doing, mi amor? You should've gone straight home already." I grunted. How could I forget that I had a wild and feisty wife who goes to the club whenever she felt like it, especially now that she's crying. I couldn't help but to blame myself again.

"Okay, sir." I hurriedly went out of the bar. TBG club was just around 10-minute drive from where I was. I didn't care if I was already intoxicated myself. I needed to go there to make sure that nothing bad would happen to my wife.

Thankfully, I haven't drunk that much yet; just enough for me to drive without causing any accident.

I was at the parking lot when I noticed someone standing next to my car. My steps came to a halt as my jaw clenched upon seeing who it was.

"What the fùck are you doing here, Jinn? How did you know where I was? Didn't I tell you not to approach me anymore? I already quit long time ago so don't bother me anymore." He smirked as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his pants.

"Don't worry, six. I am here as a friend."

I scoffed as my eyes squinted in rising anger. "Don't give me that sh*t! I don't care if you're the highest ranking among us all or a former member of the TBG. Just tell me what you want. Did you come here as a friend or not?" The corner of his lips twitched.

"Former? As far as I know, I haven't quit the TBG yet. Well, I was one of the founders, remember?"

"You chose to manage the ET VINDEX than to be with us in TBG, right? You never showed yourself to our friends ever since you left. What do you want us to think about you leaving like that? For us, you're no longer part of the group. Now, state what you came here for." My voice was stern and unwelcoming.

Jinn released a breath as if he was bored but his eyes were blank just like the dead sea. I wish I could read what was on his mind to know what really his purpose on visiting me but I couldn't. Jinn was the hardest person to read. Even if I was experienced in figuring out people, I could never figure him out and that was the most dangerous thing about him.

Irritation surged within me when he remained quiet. I shook my head and pressed my car key to unlock my car. I was about to open the car door when he finally spoke.

"I already caught the second in command of the group that destroyed your life three years ago." That caught my attention. I met his eyes with furrowed eyebrows.

"What the hell are you talking about? I already brought down that group right after what they did to my family."

"You mean, the Hama group?" He laughed tauntingly. "Yes, you destroyed their group three years ago but I discovered something interesting. They're not the brain behind all that happened in the past. A bigger group just hired the Hama group to do everything for them." Jinn answered without any emotions on his face.

I felt like the rage that I've been harboring inside of me for so long was about to explode any moment now because of what I've heard.

"You're telling me that I haven't given justice yet to what happened to my family three years ago, is that it?"

"Yes, you're right. You just killed its branches but not the tree itself."

My jaw flexed as my hands balled into fists. "How would I know if you're telling the truth or you're just trying to manipulate me to use my anger on your advantage? Knowing you, you will never do anything without expecting something in return." He laughed.

"You know me too well, my friend." He touched my car with his forefinger as if he was writing something on it. "I'll let you see this group's second in command before I dispose him off. I will even tell you the identities of the enemy, but in one condition. Come back to ET VINDEX."

I was at lost for words. I wanted to say no but I knew that he was telling the truth. I knew him enough to know that he would never bluff about things like this.

I knew that I was already done with my involvement to ET VINDEX but I couldn't ignore and put aside what he just told me. I couldn't believe it. I thought, my fight was already finished but I was wrong.

Those demons who made my life a living hell were still alive...

"I'll give you time to think about this. Just call me when you're ready to give me your decision." He turned his back on me but before he began walking away, he spoke again. "You know that I will never force you to come back but I think, it's just right for me to inform you about this group's existence. It's up to you to decide if you're going to let them off of what they did or take your revenge on them." He then got inside the sports car that was parked not far from my car and then drove out of there.

When he was out of my sight, I pounded my fists on the top of my car out of rage. Anger was understatement.

I thought, I've already achieved the justice that we deserved before I quit the organization but I was wrong. Now, the true mastermind of what happened in the past was still alive and I would never let it slide just like that.

They're still breathing freely...

I chuckled humorlessly. I thought, I could finally live in peace but now, the real me was calling for me to go back to the underworld. I stared into nothingness grimly.

But suddenly, I remembered about Christine.

"Argh!" I screamed in total frustration. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to fix my relationship with my wife but then, this happened. It would be more impossible for her to come back to me if I would go back to ET VINDEX. I squeezed my eyes shut as I ran my hand over my face.

Before I talked to Jinn just now, all I wanted was to win Christine back. But now, I knew deep inside of me that I should finish my fight first because if I wouldn't do it, I would never live in peace.

I released a harsh breath and decided not to think about that for now and go to Christine. I got inside my car and quickly drove out of there.

Upon arriving at the TBG club, I instantly saw my wife drinking alone at the bar. She looked so down while quietly drinking with tears pooling from her eyes. My heart tightened. I was about to approach her when I heard two men talking.

"Tsk! I'm pissed! That woman turned me down just like that!" One of them said. The other man laughed.

"I guess you're not her type."

He stood up. "I'll show her." He was about to take a step towards Christine but I already closed the gap between us and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.

"Dare touching what's mine and you're dead!" I threatened menacingly and lifted him a little bit off the floor. His eyes widened in fear upon seeing my dangerous face. I was taller and more muscular than him. I could tell that I could bring him down if I wanted to without breaking a sweat. He gulped nervously.

"I-I'm sorry. I d-didn't know that she was a-already taken." His voice was trembling in fear. I roughly pushed him away that he almost fell on the floor. His friend, who was equally terrified as him, managed to catch him.

"Get out of here before I vent out my anger to you! You don't want to see me get mad!" I roared and they ran out of the bar with their tails between their legs.

I scoffed. These types of people are disgusting. They only prey for the ones who are weaker than them.

After that, I was about to approach my wife but I couldn't help but to stare at her current state. I felt like the worst person in the world because she was crying again because of me. I was the one who inflicted that pain on her.

My eyes scrutinized her appearance. She really changed but the only thing that never changed was her beauty. Her baby blonde shoulder length hair was as soft looking as ever. She already untied her hair that was tied into a bun a while ago.

The gown that she was wearing hugged her sexy and alluring body and it accentuated her soft skin. She looked enchanting as ever. She looked innocent but behind that innocent-looking face, I knew how feisty and strong she was.

I groaned inwardly when my friend stirred inside my pants. Damn it! She's really the only woman who could affect me like this. Just by staring at her could awaken the wild desire I had for her, especially that I missed her so much.

I sighed and decided to stop myself from ogling at her like that. I approached her and convinced her to get out of there but she resisted. I didn't have a choice but to scoop her onto my arms and brought her to the TBG VIP room upstairs. Thankfully, we didn't fall down the stairs because I was intoxicated myself.

I could already feel the effect of the alcohol but I still managed to gather myself together. I need to put my wife into safety.

I put her down gently on the bed but then, she opened her eyes. It looked like she came to her senses just a little bit and realized that I brought her to a room.

"I n-need to go home." She uttered weakly because of drunkenness. I gulped hardly when I suddenly noticed that her dress got pulled down a little bit and her cleavage were already visible under my gaze. The intense desire that I was trying my best to keep it inside of me was getting out of control.

I didn't know if it was because of the alcohol that I consumed or what, but I was losing control over myself. I felt hot all over. I shook my head. No! Stop, Jace! This is not the right moment!

"You're too drunk to go home." I answered with a stern voice but she got up and then went off the bed. She was about to walk away but I managed to stop her by pulling her by the waist, intending to put her back to bed but she resisted.

Because of continuous resisting like that, she ended up landing on top of me. We both gasped when our lips almost kissed and our bodies pressed deliciously. Our eyes locked. Strangely, everything around us suddenly became quiet.

She looked so seductive and enchanting like that and I lost myself under her gaze. Even though I kept on telling myself not to touch her; just one look at her and all the rational thoughts in my head went out of the window.

That magic moment between us pulled us towards each other. I told myself, just one kiss and then I'll put her to sleep but when our lips touched, I lost myself. Especially when she kissed me back with equal heat and desire.

Our yearning and longing for each other could be felt in that passionate kiss.

I forgot everything; our situation and her hatred towards me. Everything became blurry. All I wanted was to make her feel my love. I wanted to make her remember how we were before so I worshipped her body with all the love I had for her. It was making me crazy.

But just when I was about to enter her, I suddenly had second thoughts. No, I shouldn't be doing this!

I looked at the goddess under me and I swallowed hard. The urge to make love to her was almost impossible to resist but I knew that I had to stop.

I was about to get off her when she suddenly held onto me tightly and stared at me beggingly.

"Love me. Don't go." She mumbled. Her eyes were pleading. I was about to answer but she already kissed me and then wrapped her legs around my hips. That broke all the last ounce of control that I had. It has been three years and my longing for her made me lose my mind.

We both moaned in pleasure when I invaded her tightness. The kiss was hot and addicting as our hands were busy exploring our bodies.

She was so wet and her pùssy welcomed my hardness. She felt so good just like I remembered her to be and it was driving me crazy.

"I love you!" I roared when we both reach our climax. She bit her lower lip while moaning in ecstasy as her body convulsed uncontrollably. She looked so beautiful while watching her savoring her orgasm.

I buried my face on the crook of her neck and savor that magic moment with her. We were both sweaty while breathing ruggedly. Our heartbeats were fast and hard.

After a minute or so, I was about to get off her but she didn't let me.

"Don't leave me...Don't. Don't...Stay." My body went still when I heard her say that. Happiness surged within me as she hugged me tighter. I kissed her neck.

"Yes, mi amor. I will never leave you. This time, I will make sure to make up to you and fix everything between us. I promise you that." After a few seconds, I heard her steady breathing, indicating that she was already asleep. I rolled over and pulled her on top of me.

I watched her sleeping face for about five minutes before I felt my eyes getting heavy. I kissed her forehead and then decided to doze off while hugging her tightly like she would disappear on me any moment.

I didn't want to think about what would happen tomorrow but one thing was for sure, I made up my mind. Whatever happens, she will stay as my wife because she belongs to me and only to me. I know I'm being selfish but I'm still holding onto what we had three years ago.
