He just stared at her, head lowered, his eyes bottomless and dark.
“Emilia!” Christian spotted them and rushed over.
When Tyler saw Christian approaching, he didn’t hesitate—he scooped Emilia up in his arms and hurried upstairs.
Emilia fought him all the way, pounding his back with her fists.
Tyler didn’t stop until loud arguing echoed from up ahead.
Furious, Emilia seized the moment and kicked him hard.
He grunted in pain and finally let her go.
Emilia landed on her feet, breathless. Tyler frowned, reaching for her again, but in the next instant—
*Smack!*
Emilia slapped him, hard.
She was trembling from head to toe, lips pressed tight, her fingers still quivering.
She hated this—hated feeling powerless, hated how he always used brute force to get his way, never caring what she wanted. It made her furious.
“Tyler!”
“Emily!”
Two voices rang out at once.
Joyce and Owen, realizing what was happening, hurried to their sides.
A red mark was already swelling on the left side of Tyler’s face. He stared at Emilia, lips pressed into a thin line, his gaze dark and dangerous.
“Tyler, I’m warning you,” Emilia said coldly, her voice steely. “If you ever lay a hand on me again, I’ll call the police.”
There was no room for compromise—her words were sharp and final.
The commotion had drawn a crowd. Seven, along with a group of guys he’d been dancing with earlier, spilled out of the private room.
“What’s going on?” they asked, glancing from one person to another, still trying to piece things together.
Tyler’s eyes narrowed as he sized up the group of young men.
