From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Kai scrambled to get to Drake’s feet, groveling as he spoke. “Mr. Lowe, I just drank too much. I’d never dare cause trouble in front of you. I’m so sorry.”

He punctuated his words by slapping himself across the face.

Drake seemed entertained, but Peter said, “Sir, this guy has been a regular here. He’s one of our VIP members. Maybe we should…”

“Drag him out,” Drake interrupted. “Give him ten beautiful women as compensation.”

Everyone in the room froze for a moment, clearly surprised by this.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Debra frowned, thinking this seemed more like a reward than a punishment. Even Kai looked stunned. He hadn’t expected to be handed such a golden opportunity. He thought about all the money he’d poured into the Lowe Group, becoming a top–tier member, and felt like this was his rightful treatment,

But just as Kai was about to offer his thanks, Drake’s cold voice cut through the air again.

“That new batch of medicine we received? Give it all to him. He can leave once he’s finished every last bit.

Kai blinked in confusion. “M–medicine? What medicine?”

“Something to boost your stamina,” Drake smirked. “Don’t worry, it’s just a few pounds. I’m sure you’ll handle it fine.”

Kai’s face drained of color as the weight of the situation hit him. That much would ruin his body and soul. This wasn’t a reward but a death sentence.

“Mr. Lowe, please spare me. If I take that much, I’ll die. Please, have mercy,” he pleaded.

Drake lost interest, waving his hand. “Take him.”

“Yes, sir.”

Peter gave a sharp nod, and within moments, two men had grabbed Kai by the collar, dragging him out like a rag doll.

Debra felt a chill run through her. Drake’s method was cruel, almost inhuman, but no one in the room seemed phased by it. It was like they’d seen this sort of thing too many times before to care.

Kai was a successful businessman in his own right, but he had been reduced to nothing but an insect under Drake’s foot, crushed with no effort.

It wasn’t long before Drake’s gaze landed on Debra, and she instinctively turned her head, trying to avoid his attention. But that small gesture caught his eye even more.

“Mr. Lowe, should I bring that lady over?” Peter asked, following Drake’s line of sight.

Drake’s voice was casual, ‘Who is she with?”

“She’s likely with someone from the Potter Group.”

Drake raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Then I’ll take a look myself.”

He stood up, and the room fell silent in shock. Even Peter hadn’t expected Drake to personally go over. In full view of everyone, Drake made his way toward Debra, his presence suffocating as he neared. There was no escape for her now.

Not far away, Edgar had also noticed the situation unfolding. Even though Debra was wearing a mask, he instantly recognized her.

“What is she doing here?” he muttered.

Debra had already been cornered by Drake.

“Are you with Andrew?”

“Something like that.”

“His mistress or…”

“Mr. Lowe, this is a private matter. I prefer not to answer.”

Peter gave a nervous cough. Under normal circumstances, anyone who dared speak to Drake like that would face serious consequences
