Two Strikes Down

Evie stood beside Vincent, amazed by the power this man wielded, even over law enforcement. Soon, an officer came, holding Elara's arm, and Vincent bellowed, more like growled, "Get your hands off my wife!"

The officer let go of Elara like she was a hot potato, and Evie couldn't help but laugh slightly at the fear on the young officer's face.

Elara walked towards Vincent and said, "Thank you."

Vincent's features eased, and he said softly, "No need to thank me. It's what I should do as your husband. Now come, a driver will take you home."

Elara shook her head. "My car is here."

"Oh, okay then... I still have a meeting. I'll see you later tonight," Vincent replied.

"Okay," Elara said.
