Chapter 189
Without a word, Hudson strode up to Thorn and slapped him hard across the face. Thorn froze, the burning pain flaring up on his cheek. He turned his head and met Hudson’s narrowing behind the mask.
“Are you having a death wish?” Thorn snarled.
Hudson glanced at Amber, who shot him a thumbs–up.
“Mr. Noir,” Hudson said coolly, “your guys must be blind, daring to lay a hand on me. What, I can’t come to you for a little justice?”
As he spoke, Alex tossed the guy right at Thron’s feet.
Thorn’s face fell as he saw his men dumped at his feet. He’d told them again and again to steer clear of that dog Hudson, but they just had to go and provoke him anyway.
‘Useless idiots, always screwing things up,‘ he cursed angrily in his mind.
“Hudson, I admit I was wrong about this,” Thorn said, glancing at the girl behind Hudson. ‘Is that Amber?‘ he wondered to himself.
Not bad–looking at all. Guess good looks really do run in the family.
“Sienna, who’s that guy?” Amber asked warily, her eyes fixed on Thorn.
He was the one who’d tried to kidnap her.
“Just some nobody. Let’s go home,” Sienna said, her voice calm but firm.
“Okay.” Amber looped her arm through Sienna’s, shot Thorn a defiant glare, then let out a cold huff and lifted her chin proudly.

Hudson shot him a wicked grin, totally unfazed. “Sienna is someone I respect. If you want to mess with her, you’ll have to go through me.”
Thorn was speechless. ‘Is this guy for real?‘ he thought.
“You and him aren’t on bad terms anymore?” Sienna asked.
Amber, who had been happily clinging to her sister’s arm, suddenly stiffened at the question. “Sienna, I was never fighting with him.” she protested.
The story about her and Hudson dates back to fifteen minutes ago.
After they’d taken down Thorn’s men, Amber, full of curiosity, asked Hudson if he wore a mask because he just didn’t look fierce enough.
That question really struck a chord with Hudson. And just like that, the two of them started chatting away.
Amber tried to cheer him up, saying he could always get some work done, then he wouldn’t have such a baby face and people might actually find him
scary.
Amber wasn’t done yet. She started tossing out even more ideas, like putting on makeup, drawing scars on his face, making himself look disfigured, or
even getting some tattoos.
Wayne stood by the brightly lit shore, his gaze deep and unwavering. People brushed past him as they disembarked from the boats, but he didn’t spare them a glance. In his eyes, there was only Sienna.
