THE UNPLANNED HEAT

CHAPTER4

Ella gasped, staggering back as her vision blurred for a moment.

At this moment her mind was racing faster than her feet as her eyes widened in shock, unable to process the sudden fierceness in Austin's eyes; a low groan escaped her lips as she squeezed her eyes shut.

A few minutes in, she opened the door out of the VIP room. Her vision was still blurred out, and she could barely find her way; suddenly, she felt a very sharp pain in her head as a result of the bleeding, making her freeze at a spot.

The door to the VIP room was left open, and Austin who was not paying any attention to Ella could be seen pacing back and forth, with his hands going through his hair,

His restless behavior made it obvious that something was quite strange about the inconspicuous birthmark on Ella's neck.

What was more unusual was the instinct and brute force that directed him to the exact position of the birthmark!

Without much thought, Austin moved away from the 6-foot window in the VIP room and headed towards the opened door, hoping to see Ella around.

Austin stood still for a while, staring at the VIP room window, thoughts about how he pushed Ella down made him made him full of remorse.

He immediately turned to his word rope and changed quickly to a pair of black jumpsuits, that revealed his long and slender legs.

Immediately after he dressed, Austin picked up his cell phone without sparing it a glance and dashed out of the VIP room.

After taking a few steps, Austin stopped in his tracks. A cold glint flashed past his eyes as his movement suddenly froze dramatically at the sight of the person in front of him.

The young man standing before him had a pale, freckled complexion that accentuated his thin, wispy hair, which hung lazily around his face. His messy and unkempt hair gives him off as a careless man.

The young man, whose posture happens to be slouched, with shoulders hunched forward to correspond with his frail and slender figure, stood lazily before Austin; the weight of the person he was carrying on his shoulders at the moment, was weighing him down so much that he could barely stand upright.

The aura around him was eccentric. However, Austin still stood tall, his aura ever cold and domineering. He could not be suppressed!

How on earth could he possibly not recognize this nuisance of a step-brother!? The coldness in Austin's fierce blue eyes gradually transitions into crimson red with inexplicable murdering intents.

Austin and his stepbrother Brian have been at odds since Austin took over Santiago's firm as its CEO.

Brian had never supported Austin becoming the CEO of Santiago's firm. He would always rebel against Austin, causing him to fall back on his leadership. Even when Austin made mistakes, his dad never scolded him. To top it all off, even his mother was partial to him.

The annoyance of not being loved enough and the prejudice he often faced made him despise Austin.

However, Austin knew Brian could not just pop out of the blue without an evil agenda, so he did not let his guard down or let the menacing look in Brian's eyes suppress his aura.

The cold look in Austin's eyes changed immediately he saw the unconscious pale lady hanging on Brian's shoulder helplessly. Austin took two steps forward, and with a brute force, he took off the veil covering her face, but before he could complete this action, a fair and slender hands stopped him before he could go any further.

With a calm voice, Brian raised his eyebrows slowly while holding onto Austin's hand. His facial expressions were listless, and one could barely tell what his thoughts were at the moment.

Brian's lips spasmed as he spoke to Austin coldly: " You little demon, what were you thinking raising your hands to a lady? Doesn't that make you an i***t?”

Austin frowned. With his eyes narrowed and fists clenched at his sides, he retorted, “And who made you judge over such matters?” he asked, a little irritated by Brian's act of self-righteousness.

Brian let out a low scoff, his voice laced with sarcasm. He said, “Oh, you think I am being self-righteous now? To think that I have always known you to be the devil's puppet, I thought you must have changed, but instead, just so you can feel like the bigger man, you act like a punk and beat your prey up after she has outlived her usefulness you're so despicable Austin!”

Austin sighed quietly while shaking his head, it was clear from his reaction that he was irritated and barely keeping his acts together, if only Brian could shut up!

He however stepped closer to Brian with his fist clenched and immediately threw a fist at him… Thud! Brian landed on the marble floor, with his legs sprawled out of proportion.

By now, Austin had already grabbed Ella and was holding her firmly. He looked at the man on the floor, who was groaning in pain. Without much interest, he said to him Coldly, “Do not interfere in my business if you wish to stay alive for much longer, and keep your distance man! I own her, she is mine, now let that sink in okay?”

Austin brought out his phone and dialed a few keypads. " Get the car ready,” he commanded. The voice on the other end of the phone responded with such vitality: “Yes, sir!”

With his hands around Ella's waist, he lifted her and strode out of the hotel.

At the hall downstairs, the receptionist and other workers could only bow their faces at the scene not sure what was going on with their boss.

“Could that be the boss's lover?” One of the cleaners whispered, “Don’t you think it's a strange occurrence, though? I have always thought the boss was a misogynist. How the hell did he fall under the spell of a blond witch? It is a pity I didn't get to see her face, she must be a dazzling beauty to get the boss!”

“Yes! I agree with you; the boss cannot be with a woman. He has been bewitched! Oh, good heavens, someone needs to save him!” another cleaner responded full of concern for their dear boss.

Lizzy, the receptionist, retorted immediately, “Hey! If you love your jobs so much, then stop spouting nonsense and get to work!”

The cleansers could only murmur amongst themselves and return to their respective duties Lizzy had always had a crush on her boss. Seeing how cold and distant he has always been towards others, she has always maintained her cool, not wanting to get on his bad side. But seeing him with another lady, she clenched her fist, her face almost contorting from anger. " How dare he!” she said slowly to herself. Unable to control her tears she immediately ran to the restroom to cover up the tears that were threatening to spill.

Outside the hotel, Austin had already gotten into the black Range Rover, which had been Packed outside for him. When he got in, the driver started the car with a smooth hum, and it glided forward without much hesitation.

Midway to the hospital, he saw a limousine car trailing them and

a face that seemed quite familiar popped out, but before he could react… A loud gunshot came from the limousine car. Bang! Seeing the familiar face seated in the driver's seat a strand of killing intent emanated from Austin's body at once!

Without wasting a minute Austin immediately glided forward to the front, pushing the driver to the passenger's seat, and with a brute force on the steering wheel, he drove valiantly on the dirt roads, stirring up waves of dust… the way he sped off made the driver's stomach churn so loudly that it woke Ella, who was lying there unconscious.

With her fair and slender arms, she extended her hands towards Austin tapping his shoulders slightly, obviously still in pain she said to him “Please don't kill me, I have what you need! P_lease.”

Immediately she spoke, both Austin and the driver suddenly looked at her in a daze… she had what he wanted. What was she talking about… who the hell is this blond witch?
