NovelEnglishLindsey hadn't laid eyes on Domenic in several days, and he seemed even more striking than she remembered.
Clad in a black overcoat and a well-fitting black suit, Domenic entered to find Lindsey on the floor, injured and vulnerable.
His eyes narrowed at the sight.
Then he looked at Chayce, with a murderous look in his deep eyes.
Domenic's intense presence made Chayce's skin crawl.
He backed away nervously, stammering, “What... What are you doing here? This is my yacht... Ah!" But before Chayce could finish, Domenic lunged at him, landing a solid punch on his face and sending him crashing to the floor.

Gripping the knife from the table, Chayce swung it viciously at Domenic.
In a state of panic, Lindsey cried out, "Watch out!" Domenic deftly sidestepped Chayce's attack and seized the moment to land a kick directly on Chayce's face. Chayce's two front teeth flew out instantly.
Domenic then pressed his polished leather shoe firmly against Chayce's face, applying crushing pressure. Chayce could only whimper in pain under Domenic's foot.
As his arm was grabbed, Domenic's chilling voice echoed above him.
"Is this the hand you used to hurt her?" In terror, Chayce shook his head, but a scream of agony escaped him as his arm was broken.
It was only then that Chayce understood the terrifying nature of the man he faced.
Since he was no match for Domenic, he desperately tried to flee.
