Jimmy's expression turned stormy.
He understood perfectly that Evelin possessed far more self-control and restraint than other women.
When his appearance or physique had ever worked on her, it was solely because she'd chosen to let herself be drawn in.
But when she genuinely felt no attraction, nothing he attempted would even catch her attention.
Like before—he'd intentionally downed that spiked drink and brazenly flirted and begged, yet she still knocked him unconscious and had him rushed to the hospital.
"Even if she feels nothing for me, don't fool yourself into believing she'd fall for you," Jimmy shot back, his stare cold and contemptuous.
"Tomorrow's uncertain, Jimmy, but this time I'm making you a promise—Evelin won't escape me again. Count on it," Allen announced like he was making a sacred vow.
The atmosphere grew thick with hostility.
