Ruthless Empire | A Dark Adult Romance

Well, tonight didn't go as fucking planned. Then again, I don't actually know what I expected to happen.

What I do know is that I'm never listening to an Arlo idea ever again.

His words were - "Make her jealous, bro. She'll come back crying and begging, they always do."

I was desperate to get her back even if that meant taking Arlo's advice. But I should have known my girl would take it as a challenge. She's a brat like that and half the time, I think she enjoys pissing me off.

I should have known better too, considering the reason I lost her in the first place was because I made her fucking jealous.

And paranoid.

I chucked those stupid fucking condoms out as soon as I got back home after our fight.

Could you imagine that a little black box would be the reason for why I fucking lose Evelyn?

All hope of trying to get her back has banished out the window as I watch her play beer pong with Ysabelle and Sylus.

That fucking sleazy prick.

I'm fighting with myself not to just walk over there and cave his fucking head in for even breathing the same air she is.

But I have no right and I know she's only doing this for the sole purpose of pissing me off.

As per fucking usual.

"You just gonna let him hit up your girl like that?" Arlo smirks, taking a sip of his sixth beer tonight. He downed the first three before we even got here, now he's just been topping up ever since, trying to keep the buzz going.

I haven't touched any alcohol all night. I know once I start, I won't be able to stop and I need a good mentality if there's still a chance to get Evelyn back.

Vinnie also showed up shortly after that whole situation with Claudia when she got her ass bitch slapped by Ysabelle, which gave Arlo a solid hard on, so I immediately texted Vinnie to come get his girl.

So, now here we are, watching shit face Sylus talk up my girl and I have to act like it doesn't affect me what-so-fucking-ever.

"Yeah, I don't know. Sometimes you just gotta get in there and take what's yours, you know?" Vinnie says, jutting his head in Sylus's direction.

"So that means I can take Ysabelle, right?" Arlo teases, smirking.

"Don't you fucking start with that shit tonight, cunt." Vinnie snarls, shooting daggers at Arlo.

"Can you fuck sticks shut the fuck up?" I huff frustratedly.

I'm the one who's supposed to be pissed tonight.

"Do you have a boyfriend, Evie?" Sylus says, capturing my full attention and before I know it, I'm striding up to the both of them and slamming Evelyn to my side as if I own her.

I still fucking do and some part of her knows it.

"Yeah she fucking does." I growl, tightening my grip around Evelyn's waist. "Fuck off, Sylus."

I catch a glimpse of Vinnie walking behind me as he makes his way for Ysabelle, assuming now would be the best time to sneak her away while the chaos unfolds.

"Hunter fucking Beaumont." He scoffs, and my jaw hardens when my name falls from his lips.

I'm almost tempted to knock him the fuck out.

I've never liked this prick.

"Didn't take pretty little Evie over here to be your type." Sylus drawls, licking his lips as if he's picturing doing something dirty to her.
