A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Chapter 10 - A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

"Mr. Gold, look! She's that b*tch who nearly killed Brad yesterday!"

Flossie calmly swiped a look at the group. She recognized the man speaking to be one of the underlings she encountered last night.

It was obvious that they were here for revenge.

"Her?" Otto Gold questioned.

The well-built man was an infamous gangster who ran the area. He never expected that the person who sent his right-hand man into the ICU would be a weak little woman.

"Yeah, I did that." Flossie put down her glass and glared at the men surrounding her. "You're blocking my view. Keep standing there and I'll make sure you'll suffer a worse fate than that pervert!"

"Hoho, you talk big, little lady!" Otto scowled as he grabbed Flossie by the collar. "Let me show you the rules around these parts then!"

"Oh? Really now?" Flossie raised an eyebrow, thanking the gods for being so generous as to hand her a punching bag after a long, stressful day.

Cracking her knuckles loudly, the woman was ready to rumble.

Suddenly, all she heard were Otto's screams, as he was sent flying back. A tall figure stood before her, as if he were a large wall, shielding her from danger.

"Which one of you tried attacking her? Come forth, or else." Halston spoke, his voice cold as ice

Flossie was completely dumbfounded as she stared at the man's dashing figure from behind.

She wondered. 'Out of all the places, why is here here, and at this moment? Was he stalking me?'

The gangsters were stunned by Halston's intimidating aura. All of them got into their fighting stance and yelled nervously. "Who... Who are you?! Stay out of this if you value your life!"

"It doesn't matter who I am. The only thing that matters is that you pay since you've decided to go against someone you shouldn't have." Halston's voice was stern, and that was enough to strike fear into their hearts.

"Another brat with a death wish!" Otto crawled back up to his feet, gritting his teeth and rubbing his backside gently to ease the pain.

"Do you know who I am? Why don't you ask around the area? You two must be dying for a beating, huh?!"

"What are you guys standing there for? Get them!" yelled Otto.

The ten gangsters immediately charged at Halston and Flossie with their metal bats.

The people in the vicinity fled out of fear for their lives.

Halston was alarmed but he continued shielding Flossie with his body. As he tugged on his tie, he turned slightly to comfort Flossie. "Don't be scared. Just close your eyes for now, I'll be done with them soon."

While speaking, he kicked over one of the thugs who tried ambushing them from the side.

'Oh ho? How strong!' Flossie thought, pretending to be a harmless little damsel as she hid behind the man.

'Huh, I didn't expect this cold gentleman would have such agility.'

'Even if he did compete in a cockpit, he'd come out as one of the top fighters!'

However, this wasn't exactly all that surprising, since the Guajardo family was ranked first amongst the Great Eight of Beach City.

As the esteemed young master Guajardo, Halston had been trained in every field throughout his life. Horse riding, chess, boxing... You name it, he had likely mastered it.

"Ah! Please have mercy, good sir!"

The entire group was defeated within the first few minutes, as cries of pain echoed through the air.

"Take this lesson to heart, and stay away from her!" Halston warned the fallen thugs, before gently brushing the dust off his tuxedo.

Flossie, on the other hand, had her arms crossed. It was as if she was merely a spectator, here for a good show.

If this was before, she would've been entranced by his act.

Yet now, she felt numb inside. In fact, she found it to be quite ridiculous.

'Hah, he ignored me for four whole years, and now he wants to act like he's Prince Charming saving the damsel in distress? What the hell is he on?'

Suddenly, Otto picked up a beer bottle and lunged at Halston from behind.

"Damn you, I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do!"

"Look out, behind you!" Flossie warned nervously.

However, it was too late, the bottle crashed right into Halston's head.

Blood flowed down Halston's hair as he winced in pain while pressing against his wound with his fingers.

He could feel his hand soaking in warm liquid.

"Sh*t!" he cursed.

Seeing the blood on his palm, Halston felt nauseous and he began to stagger.

Flossie instinctively noticed that something was wrong. Hesitatingly, she went ahead to give him a hand. "Are you okay, Guajardo?"

"No..." The man's face started turning pale. It no longer radiated the powerful aura he once showed. He seemed extremely weak, as he grunted. "I can't protect you anymore, run!"

"No way... Can't you stand anymore?" Flossie was confused, as she later pondered to herself.

'It's just a beer bottle to the head though, he's not that weak, is he? He was doing great fighting those guys a while ago!'

"I can't stand the sight of blood!" said Halston before fainting in Flossie's arms.

When Halston regained consciousness, he realized that he was already laying on a hospital bed, his head wrapped in white gauze.

Flossie remained by his side the entire time. It was only upon seeing his eyes open did she let out a sigh of relief.

However, she sounded distant regardless. "Since you're up, I'll be leaving now."

In actuality, she worried for the man, but she didn't want him to find out.

Before she left, she felt him grab her wrist.

"Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?" Halston asked weakly.

Despite his condition, his beautiful eyes remained sharp as it scanned Flossie's entire body.
