I’m Someone Else

Chapter 152

Olivia stared at Thomas, feeling a little jealous. He’s shopping with me, but he’s thinking of another girl instead? I know she’s his sister, but they’re not related by blood. Will they… Oh, what am I thinking? This isn’t some sort of anime.

Thomas paid for the shoes. Since Olivia didn’t have anything else to buy, they got ready to leave, but the moment they emerged from the mall, eight burly men stopped them, and the one in the lead mocked, “Didn’t think you’d be a rich guy, punk. You bought a ton of good stuff, huh?”

Thomas’ first reaction was to pull Olivia behind him. He would not let any harm get to her.

The man in the lead said coldly, “You brought this on yourself, punk. Shouldn’t have crossed someone powerful. You’re going to die, so don’t resist. Make it easy for us. Maybe we’ll give you a quick death if we feel like it.”

Thomas looked at the men, fury burning inside him. Damn it, who sends all these clowns after me anyway? They won’t stop coming. I still have no idea who broke into the villa, and then I had to fight off an assassination attempt at the market, and now all I did was go for a shopping trip, but I still have to face off against another group of killers? They really think I’m easy prey, don’t they?

A Mazda sat near the entrance of the mall, and Felice was inside it. A smirk curled her lips. I said I’d kill you, and I will. She trusted these bodyguards. Leslie spent a ton of money on them to protect her. If they couldn’t even get rid of Thomas, they should kill themselves.

A confused Philip asked, “Hey, aren’t those your bodyguards? Why are they fighting Thomas?”

Unlike Philip, Beatrice and Draco looked at Thomas coldly. How dare that trash say something like that to Felice? You’re going to pay for your arrogance.

Before Felice could say anything, her phone rang. It was from Leslie.

“Where are you, babe? I’m bored.”

“Coming home.” Felice looked at Thomas again, frustrated she couldn’t see him die. Leslie was already urging her, so she must go back. If she wasn’t there when Leslie needed her, he might find another woman to satiate his needs, and then her position would be compromised. He’s going to die anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t see this.

Felice was a smart woman—she knew where her edge was, and she knew how to use it. Thanks to that, Leslie fell for her easily. She drove away. After she sent her family home, she quickly went to Leslie’s place. The moment she walked through the door, Leslie picked her up, and they quickly went down to business.

Felice knew how to please in bed, so much so that even a playboy like Leslie couldn’t forget about her.

At the same time, the bodyguards Felice thought could take down Thomas failed miserably at their job. They were screaming like pigs about to be slaughtered, but Thomas showed them no mercy. He brought them down low in an instant, and even though there was a crowd nearby, none would come forth to help the men. They knew that these burly men were the ones trying to pick a fight, though they certainly didn’t expect the burly men to be taken down so easily.

Thomas looked at them coldly and went ahead to break a few bones that could easily land these people a lifetime on beds. He wouldn’t kill them, though punishment must be doled out. After he was done, Thomas drove Olivia back to the villa.

All the way through, Olivia stared at Thomas with adoration in her eyes. He’s so manly. He brought those villains down in just a moment. He’s the hero I grew up watching.

Eventually, Olivia fell asleep. All the work and shopping sapped her energy greatly. When they returned home, Thomas carefully picked her up and brought her to her bedroom, making sure he didn’t wake her up. He stared at the sleeping Olivia, wondering, She seems so frail, but she sure can shop hard. It’s like she won’t get exhausted. I’d have thought she was a perpetual motion machine if she hadn’t fallen asleep right after shopping. Women are fascinating.

Thomas shook his head and went to the kitchen to make the meds. When Olivia woke up the next morning, Thomas had already made breakfast and was waiting for her at the table. They finished their food and went to work.

Once Olivia finished her meds, Thomas said, “I need to go out for a bit. Stay in the company and don’t run around.”

“Sure.” Olivia nodded. She knew he was going to Chloe’s place to give her the shoes.

Thomas drove away, and he glanced at the shoes in the passenger seat. I bet Chloe’s going to be really happy when she receives this.

It was then four Hummers surrounded him, and Thomas looked at them. Again with the clowns. Fine. I’ll play along. Let’s see what you’re after. He followed the Hummers along until they stopped at Irieson’s outskirts, then six masked men came out of the cars.

“Hm?” Thomas looked pleasantly surprised. That’s the same outfit the killers who tried to kill me and Olivia wore. Just when I was about to look for them too. Must be luck.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
