"Val, I’m sorry for the punishment. I feel like I went too far. Do you forgive me?" Denzel spoke honestly.

Valerie chuckled, thinking it was something serious but was touched by his regret.

"There’s nothing to be sorry for. Honestly, I enjoyed it, except for the last part."

Denzel’s heart warmed, knowing what she wanted. He would have fulfilled her wishes there and then but knew that Don Viggo would be leaving the club in an hour.

"When this is over, I will make it up to you."

"In the car? I like adventure," Valerie winked, sending Denzel in the mood.

"Wherever you want it, Val, I’m at your service," he replied with a smile as Valerie responded.

"I will hold you to that."

"I love you," he said honestly.

"Same here," Valerie replied seductively.

"Go and kill the bastard, but hey, take this along." He gave her a bottle of whiskey, but she knew it was water.

"Thank you."

As usual, Tahir was waiting for her at the entrance, and this time, he extended his hand to her.

"It’s crowded. Don would kill me if you go missing."

Valerie chuckled and joined her hand to his.

"I understand."

They bypassed all protocols and headed to the VIP section. This club was different, with a lot of Dons playing games with many girls around them.

Valerie would not have been noticed if not for a guy who got kicked by Tahir because he tried to touch her.

"She’s stunning," one of the girls said.

"But she looks wild?" Another one added.

"Where is she going?" Another girl who was an escort asked, and another one answered.

"Seems she wants to get to one of the Dons."

"Hmm. I thought she was different, but turns out she’s just a whore like us."

Tahir was upset and wanted to teach the girls a lesson, but Valerie gave him a look, signaling him to focus on the mission.

The booth was clouded with smoke from the cigars of four Dons discussing something.

Don Viggo was one of them. Valerie almost reached Don Viggo, holding the bottle of whiskey Denzel gave her before she was stopped by one of the bodyguards.

"You can’t go there."

"But there are other girls. What makes me different?" She asked innocently, the bodyguard replied seriously.

"They were brought for the Dons, but you don’t have a pass."

"How do I get that?" Valerie asked, her icy glare on the man who not only almost killed her man but also almost had those gigolos drug her and Alessia, to do all sorts of nasty things to them.

"It depends on who you want to see," the bodyguard replied.

"Don Viggo," Valerie said, causing him to lift his head to look at her.

Don Viggo did not seem surprised, as he saw the videos of the woman he sent to frame and embarrass Alessia.

But seeing Valerie here, he wondered if she was here because of Alessia. Then again, he had concrete information that she eliminated Don Commander.

The news about Don Eskimo was not yet out. Don Denzel planned to get everything done within a twenty-four-hour clock because after that, the news would circulate.

If that happened, then things would be harder for Valerie.

He did not seem surprised to see her.

"I heard about what happened to Don Commander. Are you here to kill me too? I don’t regret targeting Alessia. That was my way to anger Don Denzel."

The booth was quiet, and everyone stared strangely at her, but Valerie was rather unfazed. She shrugged and retorted.

"Since you already know, what do you have to say? I was there with Alessia when it happened."

Her words gave him the understanding that she was there to avenge both her husband and sister-in-law.

"Well, there are rules for wanting to get close. I can forgo them if you decide to be a lady."

Valerie frowned slightly, lacking understanding of his words. "What exactly do you mean by being a lady?"

"Erasing vengeance from your mind," Don Viggo said. He knew that Denzel must be watching out for her and was afraid.

"You almost killed the man I love. I am here to avenge him," Valerie said, no longer hiding it since everything was made bare.

Then she added, "As for what you planned for Alessia, that only worsens your death.

"How romantic for a woman to take revenge on a man who is capable of doing so himself? I can’t stop envying Don Denzel. He has everything I want, including you."

"I’m here for your life," Valerie said sternly, Don Viggo’s voice devoid of warmth.

"Then you have to play by the rules." He gave a bottle of Martini to one of the bodyguards to give to Valerie as one of the Dons asked.

"What’s going on? You mentioned Don Denzel."

"That’s his wife, and she’s here to kill me," Don Viggo said mockingly.

Don Denzel was tough, and so was Valerie, but he believed that he was stronger than Valerie.

Since they were in the human world, their wolves no longer mattered.

"He’s married?" All eyes glued on Valerie at this moment, but she was least bothered, saying to Don Viggo.

"I never asked you to announce me, but thank you."

"I think we should have this meeting on another day. This doesn’t look good," one of the Dons said and stood up, another one seconded, and they left with their girls.

"I hope I’m free to watch," the remaining one asked, Valerie answered.

"It’s a free world."

Don Viggo did not know how far Don Denzel was or even if he blended among the crowd but knew that his end had come.

Before then, he was determined to take Valerie along with him and was well-prepared for her.

"Empty this bottle of martini, then you shall be qualified to come closer to me."

Since Don Denzel already alerted her, she was not perturbed.

When the bodyguard offered the drink to Valerie, Tahir received it on her behalf.

"I have to taste it first."

Don Viggo’s eyes flashed with unease. "No. Even if it’s drugged, she has to drink it."
