Chapter 740: Break Up
"Actually, I had a meeting with Rafe and Cai just now," Dora exclaimed, watching Kael as he drove, his knuckles tight around the steering wheel. He was driving like a man possessed, pushing the car faster than necessary.
Without saying a word, Kael reached for the dashboard screen, stabbing at it with more force than required. The sound of ringing filled the car, and Dora’s eyes widened. A beat later, Prince Rafael’s voice answered the call on the car’s speaker, "Kael, I was just about to—"
But Kael cut him off before he could say another word. "Your next meeting with Dora has been postponed for today," Kael muttered coldly. "Just do whatever you want."
Before Rafael could protest, Dora giggled softly at the absurdity of it all. Kael didn’t even give his brother a chance to respond, not bothering to wait for any form of protest or explanation. The moment Rafael tried to speak, Kael disconnected the call with a sharp tap and switched off his phone altogether.
"Poor Prince Rafe," Dora murmured, still amused by the interaction. "He has such a difficult little brother..."
The comment was meant to lighten the mood, but Kael wasn’t having it. He shot her a sharp glance, his eyes narrowed in warning. With a flick of his wrist, he engaged the auto-cruise mode on the car, allowing the vehicle to manage itself as it sped down the road.
Before Dora could process what was happening, Kael unsnapped his seatbelt and leaned toward her with a sudden intensity that made her heart skip a beat. She barely had time to react before his lips crashed onto hers, hot and demanding. Her gasp of surprise was swallowed by the kiss, and even as she instinctively hit his arm with her fist in protest, she found herself returning the kiss with equal fervor.
"Are you trying to get us killed?!" she hissed, as he moved back. "What the hell is wrong with you, Kael?"
His response was chillingly casual, "I don’t like you taking other men’s names," he said, his tone matter-of-fact.
