The Unbroken But Impure

CHAPTER 66 HER SECOND FIRST

"So... sorry! I'm not Yvonne! You've got the wrong person!" Karla said nervously, trying to steady her voice so Brad wouldn't notice her fear.

"I know you're Yvonne! I never forget a face!" Brad insisted confidently. "You were wearing a Catwoman mask when your lips did that thing to me, and you still had that mask on when you agreed to let me out the exit door! Even with the mask, I know those eyes, that nose, those lips, those cheekbones!"

"What are you talking about? My name isn't Yvonne!" Karla said, trying to stay calm.

"You can't fool me! So, are you available tonight? What's your professional fee now? Can you sneak me out the main door?" Brad asked mischievously.

"Leave now, or I'll call the police! You could end up in jail for harassing and insulting me!" Karla warned.

Karla knew Brad had no proof of her past. If he pushed his claims, she could charge him with oral defamation or worse.

The way Brad spoke seemed more like he was trying to impress her. That's exactly what Marco saw when he arrived at the meeting spot. It was clear Karla was irritated with the man.

Thinking Brad was flirting with Karla, Marco walked straight to her, kissed her as a greeting, then glared at Brad while flexing his muscles and clenching his fist, warning him not to mess with his girlfriend.

Brad had looks, a bit of elegance, and seemed decent enough but he was shorter than Marco. Compared to Marco's build and strength, he felt intimidated. He couldn't risk using Karla's secret as blackmail, Marco could beat him down, and Karla might sue. Besides, he had no evidence; it would look like he was making up a story.

Scared, Brad quickly left. Karla, still nervous, laughed at Marco's protective display and Brad's retreat.

"What did that man do to you, sweetheart?" Marco asked.

"Nothing. He was just trying to flirt with me, but I ignored him. He kept annoying me though, good thing you came!" Karla said, smiling and clinging to Marco's arm.

"Is that so? Well, it's tough having such a beautiful, gorgeous girlfriend! There's always someone hovering around," Marco chuckled.

Karla let out a quiet sigh of relief once her former client was gone. Deep down, she knew she had to be ready to deny everything if she ever ran into someone from her past. She trusted that Mateo and Mrs. Nancy would never expose her secrets.

Afterward, the couple went shopping for what they needed. But unbeknownst to Karla, Brad had been secretly following them. Seeing her clearly now only fueled his desire, he wanted her again. She was simply too stunning.

Around 9 p.m., the couple decided to head home and lined up for a taxi. The old man who once helped Karla against Roque spotted them and wanted them to ride with him, but another cab ahead of his picked them up first.

As soon as they boarded, someone hurried into the old man's taxi.

"Follow that cab! Quick!" Brad ordered, pointing at the taxi carrying Karla and Marco.

"Okay, sir!" The old man replied, though suspicion clouded his thoughts.

"Is this some kind of love triangle, sir? That why you're tailing them?" The old man asked jokingly, trying to mask his doubt.

Brad laughed mockingly. "Ha! Not at all, old man! That woman used to be a stripper, but her man doesn't seem to know it! If she doesn't give me what I want, I'll spill her secret!"

The old man was stunned. Another man trying to exploit Karla. He couldn't let this bastard succeed.

"Is that so, sir? Don't worry, they won't get away from us!" He said, while secretly pulling out a bottle that looked like perfume.
