Jonny was just about to leave after he finished speaking when he was stopped by Lucian who was running towards him. Lucian pulled on Jonny's collar with one of his hands and quickly pushed Jonny. Jonny was caught unawares and was knocked onto the ground with ease.

"Lucian, stop!" Amelia was taken aback by the scene.

The show of violence in front of her made her tremble with fear. She was considering to intervene, but her train of thought was interrupted by Jonny who was on the ground. "Amelia, this is a matter between us men. You'd better stay away from it, or you will be hurt." He heaved.

"What do you mean by a matter between men? Do you need to be this violent?" Amelia said, exasperated. She had no idea where Lucian's anger came from, but she couldn't stay calm as an onlooker, knowing that the two of them were fighting right before her eyes.

"Do you think that you can win Amelia's trust with sweet words? What a hypocrite you are!" Lucian clenched his fists. Lucian was seething with anger. He wound his hand back and struck Jonny with a strong blow firmly into his face.

Amelia could feel the pain as she watched. It was almost as if it was her face that was hit. Meanwhile, Lucian grasped Jonny's throat with one hand, preventing him from struggling and resisting.

"Lucian, if you have anything to say, just say it! No one has to be hurt!" Amelia bellowed. Amelia took notice of the blood beginning to drip from the corner of Jonny's mouth. His face swollen due to lack of breath; he looked terrible.

Amelia walked hurriedly to the taxi stop as raindrops fell one by one. Once she arrived, the rain was already pouring heavily.

It was the time of day where business was slowest and there were not many taxis available. She waited for a long time at the stop, but she was not able to get a ride.

The downpour fell heavier as time passed. In no time, her feet was wet with rainwater.

She hugged her slim frame and took a step back to keep her shoes from getting soaked any further.

It seemed that the heavens were in sync with her mood. It rained when she was down.

Amelia decided that sulking was pointless and so she sat down and waited quietly for the taxi. She returned to her daze and her mind floated away.

"Get in the car, Amelia," said a deep, gentle voice. A luxury car stopped in front of Amelia. She failed to notice the man speaking to her due to her daze combined with the loud rainfall.

Intending to approach Amelia, the man inside the car opened the door. It was Jonny. He pulled Amelia, who sat at the stop, into his arms. He removed his coat and covered her head with it. He whispered to her, "Slow down, you'll get your shoes wet."

Another car pulled into the scene and a strong energy could be felt radiating from the person inside. It was Lucian. The sight he saw lit his anger that burned in his heart like a raging fire.

Lucian gritted his teeth, his hands gripping the steering wheel tighter. His anger boiled over and he released it with a strong thump on the steering wheel.
