Dark Lord Seduction System: Taming Wives, Daughters, Aunts, and CEOs

Chapter 333: "I want to come with you."

"What?"

"Promise me that if I ever need you—really need you—you’ll come. No matter where you are. No matter what empire is burning. No matter what," she insisted, her fingers digging into my bicep like anchors. "Promise me you’ll come."

That desperation—raw and jagged—clawed at my throat. This wasn’t about walls or distance. This was about faith. About knowing the hands that’d saved her once would rip through hell itself to do it again.

"I promise," I vowed, no hesitation. No room for doubt. "Emma, I will always come. Always. You could call me from the corpse of a fallen god and I’d tear my way back to you."

"What if you’re busy saving Charlotte’s company? Whatever that means?"

"Then let Charlotte’s empire burn, first until I make sure you’re fine," I snarled, reaching out to tuck a stray strand of hair— escaping its bun—behind her ear. The touch was gentle, but my voice was a battlefield command. "Family comes first. Always. Blood Before Business."

Relief slammed into her—so powerful it made her gasp.

Her arms shot around my neck, crushing her face into my shoulder as the dam finally burst. She sobbed against me, whole body shaking with the force of weeks of terror finally tearing free.

"I’m sorry," she wept into my shoulder, the words mangled by grief. "I’m sorry about what I said at dinner. About Madison and... you know what. I was scared and I wanted to hurt you before you could hurt me."

"I know," I murmured, wrapping my arms around her—arms that had broken bones, now built solely to hold her together. "Emma, I know exactly why you said it. And it’s okay."

"It’s not okay," she hiccuped, tears soaking into my shirt. "It was mean and inappropriate and—"

"—and it was your claws catching survival," I finished for her, rubbing her back as her body shuddered. "I’ve done the same, you know."
