?Chapter 246:


    Sean ced his hand gently on the back of Norah’s head, guiding her to lean into his protective embrace. With a stronger resolve to keep her safe, he softlymanded, “Get in the car.”


    Norahplied, sitting neatly in the car seat. She drew the seatbelt across and clicked it into ce, cing her hands atop her knees in readiness.


    “I’m set to go. May I start exining now?” Norah was eager to share the details of the incident, feeling it was necessary, even without Sean’s prompt.


    Sean’s expression grew serious as he listened, aware that the Breaker’s intention was clear. They were after Norah, having already made a move through Remy.


    Noticing the sizable gap between them, Sean questioned the space, “Why the distance?”


    Sean moved closer, his lips tinged with a hint of lime, caressing Norah’s lips as if he’d just enjoyed a candy with that vor. The seatbelt released with a click as Sean drew Norah closer into his arms.


    “I don’t want any distance between us,” he whispered, his embrace tightening, his face nestling against her cheek with a satisfied sigh. “Now, tell me about Remy. What did he want from you?”


    Norah found herself sitting on Sean’sp, his presence enveloping her with a potent mix of masculine and luxurious scents, making the air around them feel heavy and warm. It left her feeling a bit overwhelmed, a subtle breathlessness overtaking her. “Um, maybe I should sit back down,” she murmured, noting the intensity of their proximity.


    Since Norah and Sean’s rtionship had blossomed, Norah had softened considerably. Her once formidable demeanor now often yielded to his endearing affections.


    Sean’s transformation from a strict business tycoon to a tenderpanion was nothing short of remarkable. Norah couldn’t help but relish the change.

    How could anyone resist the charms of an affectionate partner who showered her with sweet words and gazes that held only her? Such devotion was something Norah had always longed for. Having felt the sting of abandonment throughout her life, to be deliberately chosen and cherished, to feel valued—this was something she had always yearned for.


    As Sean’s embrace tightened reassuringly, Norah found her attempts to maintain a semnce of space futile and settled into hisp.


    Norah started to recount her recent confrontation. “I had just left the hospital when Remy and a group from the Breaker confronted me. They said their boss wanted to see me,” she paused, her thoughts deepening. “Thankfully, the two men from Sacredice handled his men. And I managed to persuade Remy to ry a message to his boss after taking care of him.”


    She chose to withhold the fuller truth of her encounter with Remy, a chapter of her history she wasn’t ready to unveil to Sean just yet.


    “They rule Lachdeer without challenge,” Sean mused. “It’s awlessnd, untouched by military orw enforcement.” Lachdeer’s most powerful entity was both feared and, paradoxically, celebrated.


    Their brutal acts of violence somehow earned them a bizarre online fan base, supporting their ruthless agenda.


    Sean continued, “Their enterprise thrives on illegal markets, from gambling and vice to narcotics. And the underground fights Remy participates in? They’re just another part of their illicit portfolio.”


    Norah, remembering her own ndestine dealings with the Breaker from days past, knew all too well the threat the Breaker posed. Yet, this was a reality she chose to keep to herself for the moment.
