Chapter 718: What The

"Cai, is this okay for..."

Both men turned to Dora, Cai giving her a quick once-over before nodding indifferently. But Kael? He looked as though he was about to blow a fuse. "What are you wearing?"

Cai’s eyebrow arched, and he turned back to Dora, really looking at her this time. His eyes narrowed slightly before a faint smile tugged at his lips. Ah, so the real Dora was back. She’d purposely asked him about her choice of clothing, knowing he wouldn’t even pay attention to something of that sort as long as he could apply the ointment with ease. And yet, here she was standing in satiny nightwear, looking for all the world ready to seduce...

Cai rolled his eyes as he looked at Kael Ignis. Good thing he’d held back on punching the man. Now he could get a front row seat to watch Dora as she tortured him.

Taking his cue, he snapped his fingers in front of Kael’s face, breaking the man’s stare. "She’s wearing something comfortable, Kael. You know, the kind of thing people wear before bed. Now, if you’ve satisfied your curiosity, we’re calling it a night."

Cai moved to close the door, but Kael pushed his way in, striding over to Dora with a determined look as he stopped in front of her and questioned her," What is going on? Who is this man?"

Treating him as if he was invisible, Dora turned away, but her wrist was caught by Kael, who pulled her back," Answer me!"

The temperature seemed to fall then as Dora finally looked into Kael’s eyes, letting his see the ice there that he had put. "I don’t know who you think you are, but I don’t recognize you. And frankly, you have no right to question me." She tried to pull her hand free after that, but Kael’s hold was firm, causing her to jerk her wrist out of his grasp with a sharp twist.

As he finally let go of her hand, Dora felt her facade break. The moment you turned your back on me when I was on that stage, you became a stranger. So, stay one, Kael Ignis. You’re not even going to become an acquaintance."

Without waiting for his response, she spun on her heel and headed toward her bedroom, not willing to expose herself more to him. However, she wanted to hurt him. Hurt his ego. Before disappearing behind the door, she glanced back at Cai. "Cai, I’m feeling tired. Come to my room once you’ve taken out the trash."

Cai almost had to bite his lip as Kael whipped around to stare at him after Dora said that. With great difficulty, Cai kept a straight face and extended his arm, opening the door wider," Mr Trash. Would you walk out on your own or do I really have to throw you out?"

Kael’s patience finally snapped as he grappled with the meaning of Dora’s words. She was going to sleep with this man? After she had almost confessed her liking to him. The thought of her kissing this man and him touching her, had Kael ready to commit murder!

With a growl, he lunged at Cai, grabbing him by the collar and slamming him against the door. "Who the hell do you think you are?" he snarled, his face inches from Cai’s, eyes blazing with fury. "You stay away from her! Do you hear me? If you so much as touch a hair on her I will..."

Calmly, Cai reached up and coolly pried the man’s hand from his collar. "The name’s Cai Frost," he said evenly, as if he was introducing himself at a casual gathering. "And as for staying away from Dora... Well, that seems a bit difficult considering I’ve just been summoned. And who would refuse something like that from a beauty like her?"

He deliberately glanced over at the closed door, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Kael’s eyes narrowed and just as he was about to punch the man for real, the man moved faster than him.

With a swift, fluid motion, Cai sidestepped and spun Kael around, pressing him up against the door. The sudden shift left Kael momentarily disoriented, his breath hitching as Cai’s grip pinned him in place, his arm pressing on his neck.

Leaning in close, Cai’s voice dropped to a low, dangerous tone. "You should be thankful, Prince Kael Ignis. Thankful that Dora hasn’t cried over you. Because if she had shed even a single tear..." His eyes bore into Kael’s, filled with a cold, quiet menace. "...you wouldn’t be standing here right now but buried deep under the earth."

Kael pushed back against Cai with all his strength, as he tried to break free from Cai’s hold. For a moment, he found himself nearly immobilized, Cai’s strength and control almost overpowering him. But Kael was determined as well, and with a burst of strength, he managed to force Cai back a step. The two stood there glaring at each other, knowing they were equally matched in their standoff.

Breathing heavily, Kael’s eyes were locked onto Cai’s,as he growled, "Stay away from her. Dora belongs to me only.

"Dora," he said calmly, with a hint of a mocking smile, the aggression disappearing as suddenly as it had come, "doesn’t belong to anyone but herself. You can claim whatever you like, Prince Kael, but until the day she decides to say she belongs to someone, I won’t believe a word of it. So, you can fight it out with me. But I don’t think it would bring you any brownie points with her. After all, you are already in her bad books."

That gave him a pause as he realized Cai Frost really did have the upper hand in this matter. He didn’t know what kind of relationship Cai had with Dora. And yet, as he stepped back, he could not help but think back to the way Dora had run to him, clinging to this man as he’d held her close.

And even now, she had been wearing those clothes and invited him into her room...

He glared at Cai with a mixture of rage and frustration, but he didn’t move to attack again. Instead, he spoke through gritted teeth, "This isn’t over, Frost."

"No, it isn’t," Cai agreed, his tone almost conversational. "But you should think long and hard about what your next move is going to be. Because the next time, I won’t be as gentle."
