UNDER HIS RULES

Jack stared at Eland with a bemused frown. “You’re completely insane, Eland.”

Eland, on the other hand, seemed relaxed as he leaned back in the comfortable chair. Occasionally, he whistled happily, his spirits soaring high. He had already finished his tequila glass. But Eland always excelled when it came to handling alcoholic drinks. He didn’t get drunk easily and remained focused no matter how much he drank, as long as it was tequila.

“I’m heading back to headquarters,” Eland said as he grabbed his phone from the table. “You want to rest too, right?”

“I should have done that two hours ago, Eland,” Jack chuckled. He raised his hands in the air. “I’m really exhausted. But everything is settled with Boss Sam’s affairs, so I’m relieved. There are no more obstacles, especially regarding the renovations and the parts that shouldn’t be exposed to the public.”

“You know how our boss is,” Eland grinned. “I need some sleep.”

“You’ve already slept, you bastard, in the backroom.”

Eland turned and stared at Jack with a smirk, then burst into laughter when he realized what he meant. “Damn it. You’re right, I put the one who stayed up all night to sleep. Besides, he needs to be satisfied first.”

“That’s why I said you’re crazy. How can you play without any emotions?”

Eland sighed. “Don’t pretend. Bella is sexy, Jack. It’s just her bad luck that she can’t handle it.”

Jack laughed until his stomach hurt. “And you take advantage of that, Eland?”

“But she’s a cunning woman, Jack.”

Jack agreed. After hearing everything Eland had said and considering what actions he could take to monitor Bella, he couldn’t understand how Bella could do that to Sam. “We really have to make sure Bella doesn’t slip away from our reach.”

“Yes,” Eland nodded. “I’ll go back to headquarters. You just take care of Bella until I talk to Sam.”

“I heard from Hugo last night, Alfred actually visited the resort?”

Eland sighed. “I’m sure Sam will punish me for this.” He dragged his chair back. “I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep now.”

“You’re taking the right course of action, in my opinion. Sam won’t allow his headquarters to be disturbed again.”

Eland nodded. “But if the news is true, Jack, it means we’re either in a favorable position or in danger.”

“But Alfred’s assistance yesterday shouldn’t be underestimated.”

“You’re right.” Eland nodded with both hands supporting his head. “It’s just that you know our boss doesn’t like to form alliances with anyone. If Beatrice is indeed Alfred’s granddaughter, he won’t treat Beatrice lightly.”

Jack rubbed his chin. “Our boss would never want to separate from Beatrice.”

Eland burst into laughter. “This is the first time I can’t argue with that, Jack.”

Eland and Jack were not oblivious to what they thought about their boss’s relationship with the black-haired girl. As loyal subordinates, both Eland and Jack were responsible for knowing the true condition of Beatrice. They couldn’t let any danger threaten her.

So, when Eland learned about Bella’s sinister plan, he was truly disappointed and couldn’t believe that Bella would collaborate with the Twin Dragons, their enemies. What’s more, the plan was already well-prepared. They just had to execute it, and boom!!! Sam would definitely be furious. If that happened, Eland and Jack couldn’t imagine the extent of the division that would occur.

“I’m afraid… the past might repeat itself, Eland,” Jack whispered. “You must know.”

Eland agreed. “We don’t know how much Bella revealed to Gerald and Jimmy, but I don’t think it’s as simple as kidnapping Beatrice, baiting Sam, and going to war.”

Jack snapped his fingers.

“We need to tighten the security around Bella from now on, no matter what. While she’s here, you’re responsible for Bella. Until I report to the Boss about what Bella has done while she wasn’t at the resort.”

“I’ll assign the best people to guard Bella’s room.”

Eland nodded in agreement.

“What’s the update on Hugo?” Jack asked after a long silence that had enveloped them for quite a while.

“I feel good,” Eland replied with a wide grin. “Well… at least we didn’t have to suffer like Hugo, who had to entertain the boss with his woman.”

They were engulfed in laughter, filling the control room of the Flown Discotheque. Shortly after, Eland descended the stairs one by one, making sure Bella was still asleep in the room where he had left her. That was after he had thoroughly enjoyed playing with Bella, who was so wild that night. Ah… those pills never disappointed Eland with their effects.

“Boss,” he greeted one of the guards stationed outside the room. The guard opened the door for Eland, and he strolled in as he pleased.

Bella was still there, lying helpless and weak. He only gave her a blanket and a paper bag containing new clothes. Eland approached to make sure Bella didn’t die because of her actions. It could have happened, couldn’t it? Eland grinned, recalling this thought. But if Sam knew what Bella was planning, it wouldn’t be surprising if Sam made this woman disappear. Considering Bella’s wicked plan, which posed a threat to Sam.

Unfortunately… Eland always found a way to make Bella talk, no matter what. No matter how much she hated him, for Eland, she was just a tool he could use as he pleased. Despite coming from the same place, Eland never wanted to bring up the past, and he had placed his utmost loyalty in Sam.

His past had been buried since he entered Sam’s headquarters five years ago. Until now, Sam never made him feel like an outsider. Who knows, Eland might pose a danger to Sam.

“My loyalty belongs only to the Twin Dragons.” That was the oath Eland confidently declared in front of Sam.

And the response he heard was quite the opposite. “The Twin Dragons need someone like you to maintain their power, Eland.”

He wouldn’t waste that opportunity. When he knew something was wrong, Eland didn’t hesitate to destroy it. Even though he knew Bella, the woman still wrapped in the blanket, he couldn’t act as she did.

“Are you awake?” Eland asked, gently tapping Bella’s cheek. There was a long scratch mark there. It was her fault for not obeying Eland’s wishes.

Her eyes blinked slowly. The dizziness and nausea made Bella furrow her brow, wincing in pain and unable to hold back any longer. Everything that happened tonight slowly replayed in her memory, including… what she did with the man standing in front of her.

Her groans. Her moans. Her pleas for mercy to be free from such torment and suffocation. Damn it, Eland was not someone who would easily forgive her. He continued to hunt Bella like a hunted rabbit deserving various kinds of attacks, including the confession about what she was hiding.

Bella revealed it smoothly.

“You bastard, Eland!” She tried to get up and reach for the man. However, the headache hit her hard. She had to hold onto the edge of the bed. The pressure in her stomach also grew stronger until she eventually vomited everything. Soiling Eland’s shoe. Several times she continued to empty whatever was blocking her throat and stomach. It felt uncomfortable, but what could she do? Eland was insane! She wouldn’t let the man do as he pleased anymore.

Eland frowned in disapproval. He sighed in annoyance afterward. “I don’t have the heart to clean up this mess for you.” He forcefully pulled Bella’s hair.

“Ugh!” Bella glared sharply at Eland, who now brought his face close. “Damn it!”

“I assure you; you won’t be able to breathe easy, AnaBella,” he

whispered, full of intimidation, right into Bella’s ear. Then he flung Bella aside without mercy.

Eland gave Bella another chance. The woman had crossed her tolerance limit. Even though they were on the same path in the Twin Dragons, he wouldn’t hesitate to make Bella suffer in life. Especially last night when he learned about Bella’s plan.

“I will win Sam back,” Bella said, breathless. Her eyes filled with passion as she straddled Eland. “Eland, please,” she pleaded.

“How?” Eland grinned. “I said be patient.” He gently pulled Bella’s hair and immediately grabbed her neck, which already had many red marks. Deliberately. Normally, Eland hated leaving his marks there. But occasionally, this woman needed a harsh lesson.

“Ouch!” Bella moaned as she continued to move on top of Eland. Rubbing against him, her belongings were already unobstructed, but Eland didn’t want to unite just yet.

“Beatrice.” Bella looked at Eland like a predator. She quickly seized his darkened lips. However, Eland didn’t like anyone touching him without permission. He pulled Bella’s hair again, this time much harder.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why Beatrice?” Eland asked, breathing heavily. “Speak clearly if you want me to satisfy you now, Bella!”

“I asked Gerald and Jimmy to kidnap Beatrice. So, Sam would be provoked, and at that moment, Sam would be mine.”

Eland grinned. “Stupid!” He dropped Bella without hesitation until she fell, but immediately lifted his hips. Putting Bella in a half-kneeling position. Then, without much talking, Eland thrust into her repeatedly. Letting moans wrapped in groans reverberate.

Not just once, but multiple times until Bella was helpless.

“Bastard!” Bella hissed in protest. “You’ll pay for this, Eland!”

“Your words are getting out of hand, Bella.”

“Do you think Sam will continue to trust the Twin Dragons and your role in it?” Bella tried to rise from her collapsed state. She ignored the headache that overwhelmed her. “You… will only be a shadow of Sam and Hugo. You should realize that!”

Eland snorted sarcastically before he completely left the room. “My loyalty has been pledged. I don’t care if I’m under Hugo or whoever Sam trusts. For me, Sam is not just a ruler and leader of the Twin Dragons. He…” Eland approached with his wide strides. He grabbed Bella’s face firmly, making her eyes glare fiercely.

“He’s my friend, Bella. He never leaves me no matter the circumstances. Remember that!”
