Eryx stood tall in front of everyone, gripping Eloise's wrist tightly. "Who the hell do you think you are to raise your hand on my wife?!" His voice was loud and full of fury, making everyone stop and stare.
Lunara froze, only her eyes kept on blinking. She hadn't even realized when Eryx had arrived.
While Eloise struggled, trying to pull her wrist free from his hold, she snapped, "Let go of me!" glaring at him.
The crowd stood still, the presence of Eryx sending a chill through the air around them.
Eryx's eyes never left Eloise as he spoke again, his voice harsh. "Raise even a finger against her one more time, and you might go home crawling. Understand?" He shoved her hand away.
The moment Eryx turned and faced Lunara, his cold expression shifted instantly. "Are you okay?"
Lunara blinked rapidly, still in shock, before nodding and gesturing for him to come closer. "Tell me the truth, you're really not a mafia leader, right?"
