Love Game With The Rebel Billionaire

"You're hitting me too much." Silver gripped Randall's fist tightly as he was about to punch him again. "I told you that was the last punch. Be grateful I even let you hit me, so don't take advantage of it." Silver could beat Randall to death if he wanted, but he chose not to. Randall may be a thug, but he wasn't that good at fighting, and Titania could definitely punch harder than him.

It was Titania he was looking for, but it seemed she wasn't home. It was a pity because if he had known Randall was the only one there, he wouldn't have bothered coming. "Ahhh! Damn it!"

Randall almost screamed as Silver gripped his hand. In an instant, Silver cracked Randall's knuckles. The young man writhed in pain, which made Silver smirk.

"It hurts, right?" he said to Randall, who was doing nothing but scream and curse him out of pain. "That's why you shouldn't hurt people, bastard."

Just as Randall was about to use his left hand to punch Silver in the stomach, Silver kneed him in the gut. Randall let go and collapsed on the floor, crouching in pain.

"Should I punch you like... twenty times?" Silver asked, wiping his lower lip. "You punched me twenty times, yet I'm still standing. Your punches are so weak. Why didn't you ask your wife for lessons?" Randall wanted to curse Silver, but he couldn't speak. All he could do was grimace and roll on the floor, waiting for the pain to subside.

Silver couldn't explain the joy he felt hearing every scream from the man he once envied. He knew how happy Titania was when she was with Randall/

Which is why, despite loving her so much back then, he never tried to separate them.

So when he learned what Titania went through at the hands of that fool Randall, he wanted to kill him, but he needed to calm himself.

He let Randall punch him many times, though. He didn't understand what kind of foolishness Randall had to believe his own mind and not even ask Titania what really happened.

"Damn it, aren't you Sapphire's father?!" Randall asked, clenching his teeth. "Take that worthless woman and my wife! You make me look like a fool and say she was raped when in truth you were just itching for it!" Silver shook his head, yet the fury was evident on his expression.

Meanwhile, Ash was carefully observing the surroundings. He was glad that Titania wasn't there. At least he didn't have to worry about her.

"Weakling," Ash muttered, prompting both Randall and Silver to look at him. He cleared his throat. "Sorry."

He should have kept it to himself, but he hadn't realized he had spoken it out loud. He realized how weak Sapphire's stepfather was. After just one hit from his father, he stumbled in pain. "He really is." Silver walked over to Ash and tapped his shoulder. "Look at this, Randall. Look how weak you are."

In a snap, Silver kneed Ash in the stomach.

But unlike what happened to Randall, Ash remained standing with a normal look on his face. Even though he felt pain, he could control himself.

"Freak..." Randall muttered weakly, still writhing in pain.

That's Ash's training from when he was a teenager, though. His father kicked and punched him every day. It was painful at first, but over time, he got used to it, so he looked calm even now. "Are you calling yourself an asshole?" Silver asked as he kicked Randall's stomach one more time. "Oh. I guess you do."

The pain in Randall's screams sounded like music to Silver's ears. He wanted more of that. That's what keeps him alive.

He's not the old Silver people used to know. After Titania escaped from their home, it felt like his world had collapsed, especially since he had no idea where she was.

Kindness had completely left him since then. He returned to womanizing, but his friendship with Simon wasn't rekindled after that.

They both became bad... and they were now fighting against each other.

Silver wouldn't let Ash experience the same dilemma. He knew how painful love could be, and when things didn't go according to plan, he would shatter just like he had experienced.

He would do his best to protect his son, even if it meant killing his first love's daughter.

"I was looking for someone else, yet you beat me to a pulp, fuck it," Silver complained as he wiped the blood from his lips. "But I like it, though. It feels like I'm being tickled." "Who are you looking for?" Ash asked, pretending to not know anything.

"Stop pretending you don't know." Silver looked at his son with annoyance, grabbing him by the collar. "I'm right; your girlfriend is familiar, and I already know why. Did you intentionally hide her from me?" Ash swallowed hard at the sudden change in Silver's mood. He could be the kindest and the rudest person he could ever meet at the same time.

"It's not like that-"

"It's exactly like that, Ash." Silver tightened his grip around his son's neck. "That's why I couldn't find Titania, and Evangeline's appearance was strange. It's because she's not the one you should kill." Silver frowned, realizing how he had been deceived by his own son. He had trained Ash to be like him and to act like him.

Why of all the people he could love, it had to be Sapphire?

They were destined to be enemies, not lovers.

"Stop this shit, Dad." Ash grabbed his father's hand around his neck. Struggling to speak, he continued, "Sapphire has nothing to do with all your problems. She wasn't even interested in handling the mafia." He would protect his girl no matter what happened. Even if he had to fight his own father, he didn't care.

"My order for you is to kill the illegitimate child. Who are you to dictate what I command you?"

In his anger, Silver shoved Ash hard against the wall before finally releasing him. He was afraid he might kill his son out of rage.

"I don't care if she wasn't interested in handling the Parker mafia or not. Your grandfather ordered me to kill her!" Silver thundered. "She's a threat to us. She has the skills, and if you won't kill her, I will." Silver stormed out of the house.

He couldn't help but think about Sapphire. He was annoyed for not realizing sooner why the girl seemed familiar, and with each moment he recalled Sapphire's face, he became more aware that she resembled Titania from before. And they even had the same skills. After investigating Sapphire, he learned something about her. She was barely trained, yet she was good at fighting.

She had even broken Haze's arm, someone he knew was skilled in combat.

On top of that, Sapphire had a dark past. There was something she was trying to hide. He wasn't sure if Ash knew about it.
