Meanwhile, Natasha and Dylan exchanged glances, their mutual excitement impossible to hide. The Northern Districts two pillars, Atlas and Finley, had finally gone their separate ways. Now, it was their turn to take the stage.
Both of them turned their eyes toward Kingsley.
Though they remained silent, the admiration in their gazes was unmistakable.
Natasha, in particular, felt her thoughts begin to race.
Kingsley is far too talented to let slip away! There was no way she could allow Kingsley to align himself fully with Dylan and South City.
Natasha was the type who, once she set her mind to something, would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.
As Atlas and his men departed, Michael hobbled into the hotel with help from his entourage.
Overwhelmed with resentment, he grumbled, Atlas, youve gone too far! I’m part of the Rhodes family, for crying out loud! Kingsley glanced at him and smirked.
Mr. Rhodes, looks like youve been properly humiliated! Michael glared at him with pure hatred, Kingsley, if it werent for your stirring up trouble, I never wouldve been punished by Atlas ! Tonight, you’re not walking out of this hotel alive! Kingsley shrugged, unfazed.
You’re welcome to try.
Natasha spoke up calmly.
Mr. Rhodes, Kingsley is under my protection now
If you want to touch him, youll have to go through me first.
Michael hesitated, his expression dark and uncertain.
With Natasha backing Kingsley, he could not afford to act recklessly.
Finley ground his teeth in frustration and growled, Mr. Rhodes, why don’t we join forces ? No matter what, were taking Kingsley down tonight Michaels eyes lit up with delight.
Mr. Moore, are you saying you’re ready to switch sides and work with me? Finleys tone turned cold
don’t flatter yourself Do you really think someone like you is worthy of my loyalty? What I’m offering is a partnership to eliminate Kingsley.
Thats it, Finley clarified
Though disappointed, Michael still nodded.
Fine
I’ll work with you on this.
Before they could act, Dylan stepped forward, his presence menacing.
He threatened, I dare of you to even lay a finger on Mr. Baldwin
If you do, I’ll bring every one of my men from South City here tonight and tear this hotel apart.
any The threat instantly silenced Michael and Finley.
A partnership between Natasha and Dylan meant combining nearly half of Jayrodales underground power
, leaving the two of them completely outmatched
Finleys chest heaved as he struggled to contain his frustration
In the end, he had no choice but to storm off, shouting over his shoulder, Kingsley, you just wait!
Kingsley, Natashia, and Dylan returned to West End with their respective entourages. Kingsley said, Dylan, I don’t think I need to handle the rest of Madam Vostokoffs business
The chaos he had stirred up was more than enough, and he had no intention of meddling further in the underworld
Dylan nodded.
Mr. Baldwin, youve already done far more than enough for us
Madam Vostokoff and I can handle the rest without troubling you further.
Natasha chuckled
Darling, you even managed to divide Atlas and Finley for us.
Why not see it through to the end? How about taking Atlas out entirely for us? Kingsley shook his head without hesitation.
You know my rules, Natasha.
Ive already done more than enough, far exceeding the value of that so called medicinal herb you offered me.
Isnt it a bit excessive to keep asking for more? Dylan quickly agreed.
Madam Vostokoff, Mr. Baldwin has gone above and beyond for us.
Asking him for anything more wouldnt just break the rules it would make us look shameless. Natasha gave a soft, teasing hum, her tone playful but calculating.
Maybe my request is a bit much, but I didnt say I wouldnt compensate you further, darling. Kingsley raised a brow
Youve got more medicinal herbs lying around? Natasha shook her head and shot him a sly look. Not herbs, but don’t you think I’m more valuable than some plant? Kingsley frowned.
Madam Vostokoff, I have no interest in you as a person.
If Natasha could produce something genuinely tempting, Kingsley wouldnt mind lending another hand.
But if she thought she could freeload, shed find him far less accommodating
Natasha clenched her teeth and said, Darling, are you seriously saying that my value doesnt even match a single herb ? Kingsley replied honestly, At least for me, thats exactly the case.
Natasha took a deep breath, visibly restraining herself.
Fine.
Mark my words, Kingsley I’ll make sure you bow to me one day.
Her anger and determination were clear, fueled by both frustration and a growing desireto win him over. Kingsley stood up and made his exit.
Madam Vostokoff, don’t forget the medicinal herb you owe me .
I’ll be expecting it soon.
After Kingsley left, escorted by his men, Dylan shook his head with a wry smile.
Madam Vostokoff, youve spent enough time with Mr. Baldwin to understand his personality by now.
Trying to strong arm him wont work Its useless, and youll only end up losing Natasha imed her hand on the table, her flery temper flaring.
Dylan, shut your damn mouth! Havent you noticed how patient and accommodating, Ive been with him? Any other man wouldve been castrated by now for disrespecting me! Dylan blinked, taken aback by her intensity, and sald cautiously, Madam Vostokoff … you’re not seriously falling for Mr. Baldwin, are you? Natasha let out a cold laugh.
Falling for him? Not quite
But someone like him I have to bring him under West Ends control.
Dylan shrugged
You’re stubborn and relentless, so I wont argue.
But if you think you can win over Mr. Baldwin, you might want to rethink that plan.
Natasha narrowed her eyes.
Whats that supposed to mean? You think I’m incapable of handling, Kingsley ? Dylan leaned back and spoke evenly.
Even Ive never dared to dream of making Mr. Baldwin work for South City.
If anything, its South City shamelessly sticking close to him, hoping hed take us under his wing.
He continued, Madam Vostokoff, let me warn you you might want to give up on this idea of using him. Your West End is far too small to contain someone like Kingsley.
Natasha looked uncertain for a moment
Are you saying Kingsleys background is bigger than he lets on ? Dylan shook his head.
I don’t know much, and I wouldnt dare speculate.
But trust me messing with Mr. Baldwin is a dangerous game, one you might not survive.
Natasha scoffed.
Please, who are you trying to scare ? Ive been in this business for years, Dylan.
Ive seen it all theres no big situation that could shake me.
Dylan shrugged casually, clearly indifferent.
He had already tried to warn Natasha, but if she refused to listen, there was not much he could do.
It was obvious that Kingsley was cutting her some slack if someone like Michael had dared to act up, they would have been slapped into submission long ago.
By the time Kingsley returned to Moonlit Sanctuary, the sun was setting
He pushed open the door to the small house on the hill and found Marvin lounging under the tree at a stone table, sipping leisurely on some liquor.
The table held not just Kingsleys prized bottle of aged whiskey but also a few snacks that were perfect for drinking
Kingsley walked over and smirked.
When did you start getting into the finer things in life, old man? Marvin chuckled and raised his glass. Sir, you’re giving me too much credit.
These fancy little snacks? Definitely not my handiwork.
He gestured toward the house with a knowing look.
Kingsley frowned in confusion.
Who else would be here ? Just as he spoke, the sound of footsteps came from inside.
A familiar figure appeared in the doorway, wearing an apron and carrying a steaming pot of beef stew.
Hey, you’re back! Lauren beamed, her smile brighter than the evening sun.
