"There is no such thing as an eternal enemy," said Davon all of a sudden.

Violla was slightly taken aback. She then grinned and sneered, "Are you asking for a cease-fire, Mr. Roman?"

"You can interpret it however you like," replied Davon. He suddenly circled his arms around her thin waist and pulled her into his embrace before he added, "Either way, you are mine tonight."

Violla wasn't repulsed by him, nor did she deny him anything. She simply extended her slender hands and gently touched his chest before teasing, "We'll talk if you can keep up."

Violla shoved him away as hard as she could the second she finished speaking. She hiked up her dress and dashed forward barefooted.

Davon grinned as he watched her run from him. The refreshing night wind made Violla's hair dance while her white dress flew with the breeze. Her beautiful figure was undeniably alluring under the moonlight.

Davon's heart thumped wildly at that sight, and he sped up to chase after her. Violla cast a long shadow under the moonlight, and she was right in front of him.

He was right behind her shadow and could have caught her if he just reached out, but he kept his distance.

He enjoyed the sensation of being a predator chasing his prey, and he was feeling contented at that moment. He also wanted to give her some time to relax and be carefree.

Violla turned around to face Davon when she noticed that they had been running for a while, but he hadn't caught up to her. She grinned mischievously and teased, "Can't keep up?"

"Hah!" scoffed Davon. He then sped up and reached out to hold her beautiful arm.

Surprised, Violla quickly moved away to avoid his touch before she pushed forward. He continued chasing after her. However, he restrained himself and kept about three meters between them.

Violla's bare feet were running on the clean, even road under the moonlight. He seemed amused as he stared at her back. He was like a predator looking at his prey, and it didn't matter how fast she ran. She would never be able to escape him.

The trees that were planted on both sides of the road cast a row of orderly shadows while the streetlights that illuminated the road showed two individuals hanging out and playing together.

The scene was so sweet and romantic that it looked like it was plucked straight from a movie.

"If you haven't caught me when I reach that streetlight, you will lose your opportunity to be with me tonight." Violla was holding her dress when she turned around and grinned at Davon. Her petite figure seemed especially adorable that night.

"Are you shamelessly going back on your words?" asked Davon while narrowing his eyes.

"Don't you know that women are naturally shameless?" teased Violla with a smile.She forged ahead again.

Her figure was as beautiful as an angel's, and under the moonlight, she looked ethereal.

Davon grinned at her. His speed remained constant until she was about three or four meters away from the streetlight. That was when he suddenly zipped over and reached out to grab Violla's arm.

He was about to get a hold of her when a black, unidentified object with a menacing aura sped down from the sky.

"Mr. Roman, watch out!" shouted Cruze in a worried tone.

Davon avoided that object quickly, but the back of his hand was still cut. The sharp wing brushed past his clothes and flew toward the men behind him.

Cruze and Marco moved away in time to avoid being hit.

The unidentified object spun around in the sky before it flew back down and calmly landed on Violla's shoulder.

Davon took a closer look. 'The hell? It's an eagle!'

At that moment, the eagle's sharp and piercing eyes were glaring murderously at Davon.

"Finny, you're acting up again!" scolded Violla while caressing the eagle's wings. She smiled brightly as she introduced, "This is my pet eagle. I call it Finny."

It was a gift that Leon had given her and she instinctively called it Finny.

'And she says she's not Violla Milan? She even gave her pet the same name!' Davon raised his brows and stepped closer to Violla.

Violla stared at him, but she kept backing away as she reminded, "We said that you'd lose your shot tonight if you haven't caught up to me when we reach the streetlight."

"You're not there yet," replied Davon with narrowed eyes. He then dashed forward to capture her.

The eagle suddenly attacked again and blocked Davon's moves.

As Finny did so, Violla turned around and leaned against the streetlight in a graceful manner. Her cheerful laughter was addictive as she gloated, "Haha, I won!"

The eagle yelped in pain. Davon had hurt its wings, which prompted the eagle to peck on his hand. However, he was faster, and he caught the bird by its neck at lightning speed.

With Davon's strength, the annoying bird would soon be dead.

"No!" shrieked Violla.

Davon paused for a moment before he loosened his hold.

The eagle broke free of Davon's hold and flapped its wings to get back to Violla's shoulder. It was no longer as proud as it used to be.

Violla gave the eagle a once-over and noted that it had lost a lot of feathers around its neck. Its wings were also injured. Enraged, she huffed, "Davon Roman, you are such a crude man!"

"I am already merciful enough by sparing its life," refuted Davon.

He got a handkerchief out of his possession and gently wiped the blood off the back of his hand.

"You…" complained Violla, but she soon realized that she didn't really have anything to say. She was the one who got out of line when she shamelessly backed out of her deal, and her pet was the one who ambushed him. Given Davon's temper, it was uncharacteristically merciful of him to spare Finny's life.

"I will let you off this once tonight. You won't be so lucky the next time!" warned Davon.

He stared longingly at Violla before turning around and leaving.

Cruze and the others followed along quickly.

Violla glared at Davon's back as she gently stroked Finny's wings.

"Miss Landiana, are you alright?" asked Lucky, Marco, and the others who had quickly rushed over.

"That man is so crude. He actually attacked a pet," complained Lucky angrily.

"I know, right?" agreed Belly.

"He would've been the one who is hurt if he didn't fight back," said Violla with a smile. "Finny is no ordinary pet."

"That's true." Agreed Lucky

"Mr. Roman, are you really letting her go just like that?" protested Cruze. "Those women really are shameless."

"Exactly. They keep changing the rules in their favor," said Marco, who was upset as well.

"What else can I do if not let her go? R*pe her?" refuted Davon in an annoyed tone.

Both Cruze and Marco were speechless. That was certainly something they would not agree to.

When they returned to their room, Cruze got the medical kit over immediately to treat Davon's injuries.

Luckily, Davon had reacted swiftly. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have just a scratch. After all, with how wild the eagle was, it could've crippled his hand.

"I've heard rumors about how Leon enjoys keeping wild animals as pets. Seems like those rumors are true," commented Cruze while frowning. "He must be the one who gave Miss Milan… Ah, I mean, Miss Landiana that eagle."

"That eagle is ferocious and untamed," reminded Davon. "You guys have to be careful."

"Miss Milan really is something else. Back then, she kept a tiny parrot as a pet, but now, she actually has an eagle as her pet!" exclaimed Cruze. "That woman changes so drastically that it's as if she's an entirely different person!"

"But is that really Miss Milan?" said Marco, who couldn't believe it. He pointed out, "She used to be so sweet and so easily frightened that she would tremble at the sight of others fighting. How did she become so terrifying?"

"Women are even fiercer than eagles when they want to be," said Cruze. He deliberately made everything sound scarier than it was when he warned, "Stay far, far away from those creatures… And keep your distance from the eagles too."

"Yes, you're right," agreed Marco while nodding. His impression of women had been crushed after meeting those female bodyguards who worked for the Landiana family.

Marco felt as if women were as scary as an untamable eagle and should be kept far away.

Davon was dealing with his injury when he suddenly heard an eagle screeching in the sky. A dark shadow zipped past the balcony and kept flying upward.

Cruze hurried over to check things out. He saw Lucky on the balcony on the other side. She was shouting nervously into the sky, "Finny get back here!"

Unfortunately, the eagle didn't even bother listening. It simply flew ahead.

"Shoot!" said Lucky before she returned to the room to report, "Finny flew away and won't fly back for anyone, Miss Landiana."

"Go look for it, you idiot," growled Violla angrily.

"Understood," replied Lucky before she took a few subordinates to go chase after the eagle.

Cruze finished watching the show from the balcony before he returned to the room to report the situation. He later asked curiously, "Mr. Roman, could it be that you scared the eagle away?"

"I wasn't that aggressive with it," replied Davon calmly, "If I was, its neck would've already been broken."

"That's true…" murmured Cruze while nodding. "Still, that eagle really is something else. It actually managed to injure you."

"It hasn't been fully tamed yet, so it is extremely sensitive toward others," commented Davon, who had finished dressing his injury and pulled his sleeve down. He added, "If it were anyone else, it's likely that something terrible would've happened."

"That's true. I'm so glad that you were quick. If you weren't, the consequences would've been grave," said Cruze.

He could still feel the fear in his heart when he recalled what happened.

"Mr. Roman, everyone went out to look for that eagle, and that includes Miss Milan… Ah, no, I mean, Miss Landiana." reported Marco.

"Let them…" Cruze hadn't even finished his sentence when Davon got up and rushed to the balcony.

Violla had changed into a more casual outfit and had a bodyguard with her. She was about to get in the car when Davon called out from the balcony on the second floor.

"Hey!"

Violla instinctively turned around and demanded, "What?"

"Are you going to look for that eagle?" asked Davon as he leaned on the railing in a relaxed stance. "Be careful not to let it hurt you."

"Why would it hurt me? It's my pet," replied Violla before she glared evilly at Davon and complained, "And it wouldn't have flown away if you hadn't scared it!"

After saying her piece, Violla got into her car and left immediately.

Davon stared at her, then at the forest nearby. He couldn't help frowning. He heard the engine start up and watched as Violla left.

"Prep the car," instructed Davon as he put on a coat and rushed down the stairs.

"What's the plan?" asked Cruze while chasing after Davon. "Are you going to help them find that eagle? It's not necessary, right? That eagle is their pet, so it is likely that it will come back on its own soon."

"You talk a lot of nonsense, you know that?" commented Davon as he glared at Cruze.

Hearing that, Cruze swallowed the rest of his words and didn't dare to say another word.

Marco had gotten the car ready, and the two men accompanied Davon to find Violla.

The first thing Davon did was use his phone to download the map to Garden golf's surroundings. After that, he opened the window and paid attention to their location before he ordered Marco to drive South.

"There's a forest there. It's likely that the eagle would fly over."

The gang had just reached the forest when they heard an eagle screeching from a distance. They could also hear a few women screaming. The men got out of the car and rushed over.

The eagle was acting like a demon had possessed it. It was flying wildly in the forest and would attack the ladies from time to time. That prompted the bodyguards to duck and scream in fear.

Violla was blowing a whistle at the eagle to try to calm it down, but it refused to listen. It simply kept circling above her head.

Overwhelmed by anxiety, Violla reached out to grab the bird.

"Watch out!" shouted Davon as he zipped over with the speed of lightning.

The eagle's claw had locked onto Violla's hand, and it was going to use its sharp beak to peck at her eye.At that crucial moment, a brawny hand mercilessly grabbed onto the eagle's neck.

The eagle reacted quickly and shifted its target to Davon. It attacked. Fortunately, he was faster and he threw a punch.

All that could be heard was a loud thud. The eagle was knocked into a tree before it fell and stopped moving.

"Finny!" screamed Violla.. She rushed over and picked up the eagle. When she saw that it was still alive, she sighed a breath of relief.

"Are you alright?" asked Davon. He had walked over to help Violla up.

"Finny had always been an obedient pet. It has never behaved this way before." Violla frowned. She later complained, "You must've frightened it."

"I saved you. It's bad enough that you're not thanking me, but now you're even blaming me?" challenged Davon with his brows raised. "Isn't that a little too much?"

"It won't have acted this way in the first place if it hadn't been for you!" insisted Violla, who looked furious.

Davon turned speechless. He examined the bird and quickly found the cause for its rampage. "This eagle is the most aggressive type of eagle. It may look like it has been tamed, but it would revert to its aggressive self if it saw human blood."

"You're right. My brother mentioned that it can't be exposed to human blood," blurted Violla as revelation hit. "It must have been acting so wild because it injured you and some of your blood got onto it!"

"You would've gone blind if it wasn't for me," reminded Davon as he examined her wrist. "Go treat your injury once you get back. Don't let it get infected."

With that, Davon spun on his heels and left.

Violla tilted her head down and checked her own wrist. That was when she realized that Finny had clawed her and left a few deep cuts on her.

"Miss Landiana!" shouted Lucky and Marco while hurrying over. "Are you alright?"

"Take Finny home." As Violla instructed her people, she heard a car engine starting. Davon had left with his men.

Davon was still staring at Violla from the car. The truth was that he was still worried, but he had suppressed his emotions. He understood that some things took time.

"Miss Landiana has such a terrible temper," commented Cruze. "You rushed over just to save her, but she never even thanked you. She even put the blame on you."

"She is so different from Miss Milan," said Marco who, at that moment, found Violla's former self to be much sweeter.

"Both of them are equally shameless and coquettish, though," said Davon.

He recalled how Violla looked when she went back on her words all those years ago, and that got him to smirk.

Just then, Davon suddenly thought of something and instructed, "Drive slower."

"Understood."

Violla and the others got into their car with the eagle. They were heading to the villa as well.

The forest's routes were confusing, and the navigation system couldn't get any signal. Belly almost lost her way as she drove, but the Roman family's car was right in front of them, so she simply followed them right out of the forest.

"Thank the heavens that the Romans' car was right in front of us. We would've been lost otherwise," said Belly. "Did they come all the way over just to help us?"

"Or maybe they're there to watch the show," scoffed Lucky. "Davon was fooled by Miss Landiana, after all. Not to mention Finny injured him. I bet he came all the way over to seek vengeance on Finny. Yes, that has to be it."

"Uh-huh…" murmured Belly. She didn't dare to say another word, so she simply glanced at Violla from the rearview mirror.

Violla had her eyes tilted down as she caressed Finny's injured wings. No one could tell what she was thinking.

Back at the resort, Davon showered and was wearing a robe while towel drying his hair.

His phone suddenly rang, so he picked it up. "It's two in the morning. Why are you still up?"

"I need you to go to Amelia's Hospital right away," ordered D'barl anxiously. "Carol is in trouble."

"What happened?" asked Davon calmly.

"She was in a car accident and is fighting for her life in the emergency room right now," replied D'barl nervously. "She waited the entire night for you and got into an accident while she was on her way back. The Roman family cannot deny our part in causing the accident, so you are to hurry over right away."

"Got it," replied Davon before he hung up the call and instructed Cruze, "Get the car ready. We're going to Amelia's Hospital."

"Understood," replied Cruze before he quickly arranged for everything.

Davon changed into casual wear and put on his shoes before hurrying down the stairs. That was when he bumped into Violla and her people. They were dragging their luggage along and were getting ready to leave.

"Mr. Roman, what a coincidence!" Violla had changed into a comfortable dress and had her long hair down. All that made her seem more approachable.

"Leaving so soon, Miss Shameless Liar?" teased Davon.

Violla harrumphed. She raised her brows and put on a grin before saying, "I can't sleep well knowing that a beast lives in the next room, so it's better to leave earlier."

"Ah, so you know that I am a beast," said Davon as he approached her slowly. His sexy lips moved past her cheek and whispered into her ear, "Be careful. I might just eat you up."
