Chapter 199: Karsten’s Third Personality
(Arata)
With eyes closed, I was lost in smelling Camellia and Christmas roses from the bouquet when someone crept right close to me. He began asking personal questions about the kind of relationship Karsten and I shared.
The words stung, poisonous and deep. Pain erupted on my face as my eyes sharply opened and automatically went to the man seated opposite me, responsible for this heartbreak.
Karsten’s expression had gone from smooth to raging in a second as he sent a death stare towards the reporter who had sneaked into the restaurant to get himself some story for Christmas.
"Don’t you have anything better to do than sneak up on people in their free time?" Karsten asked, glaring at the man with his hands tightly fisted. I knew he was barely containing himself.
The man shamelessly smiled. "Just a few questions. I won’t take much of your time and a few pictures." The phone in his hand turned towards me as he clicked, and I knew he had taken a picture without my permission.
Aghast at his action, my anger surged. Before I could stand up and give him a piece of my mind, Karsten moved like a flash of light. His hand snatched the phone from the man as he hurled it to the ground, stomping his boot on the screen in a blinding rage.
The man gasped and tried to move, but Karsten grabbed him from the collar, yanking him forward as if he weighed like paper.
The rage, the fury, the insanity mingled on Karsten’s face.
"How dare you encroach on our privacy?" The punch came, lightning fast, and the sound of bone breaking echoed around us. His nose shot out blood as the man screamed in pain.
Camilla silently watched with smug satisfaction while I tried to move towards Karsten.
