Chapter 344 Normand twisted the throttle hard, and the motorcycle roared to life, surging forward as he tore down the outer ring road.
Liam wasn't about to be left behind. His Maybach shot after them, matching the bike's speed with ease. He kept right on their tail, knuckles white on the steering wheel, his face set in a cold, determined mask.
The Maybach closed the gap quickly, its headlights blazing so bright they seemed to swallow Normand and Mandy whole.
Spotting the perfect opening, Liam jerked the wheel. The Maybach swung across the road in a graceful yet intimidating arc. Tires screamed against the asphalt, sparks flying as rubber met road.
The Maybach slid sideways, blocking Normand's path and forcing him to a stop at the curb. Furious, Normand yanked off his helmet, stalking toward the Maybach with murder in his eyes.

But Liam didn't give him the chance. He stepped out, swung hard, and landed a punch that sent Normand sprawling to the pavement. Before Normand could even process what had happened, Liam drove a heavy kick into his side for good measure.
Stepping over Normand's writhing body, Liam strode toward Mandy.
Mandy's brow was furrowed in anger and panic. She shouted, her voice trembling with emotion, "What are you trying to do? I told you last night was a mistake. Let's just pretend it never happened, okay? I'm willing to let it go-can't you, for once, act like an adult and drop this?" She rattled off her words in a rush, but Liam didn't seem to hear a single one.
He stopped in front of her, reached out, and caught the back of her head in his hand, pulling her in with sudden force. Then he crushed his lips against hers in a rough, possessive kiss.
Mandy's eyes flew wide open, shock written all over her face.
As soon as she recovered, humiliation and fury surged through her. She slapped Liam's face hard, yelling, "Are you done yet?!" Liam's head snapped to the side with the slap, but he didn't look angry. Instead, he worked his jaw, almost as if he relished her resistance.
Without warning, he bent down and hoisted Mandy up over his shoulder.
She shrieked, pounding her fists against his back and kicking wildly. "Letgo! You lunatic! Putdown!" Liam didn't even flinch. He carried her, steady and unyielding, straight back to the Maybach.
The car's headlights sliced through the darkness, illuminating them in stark relief. Liam's tailored suit gleamed with a cold, hard edge under the beams, while Mandy's dress fluttered in the wind, adding a wild, chaotic beauty to the scene.
For a moment, it felt as if the world had narrowed to just the two of them, everything else fading into a blur. Liam reached the car, yanked open the back door, and tossed Mandy inside with little regard for gentleness.
Before she could even sit up, Liam climbed in after her and slammed the door shut, locking them both in.

The space inside was tight. Mandy found herself pinned beneath him, her breath coming in short, ragged bursts: She was so tense she could barely form words. "Wh-what do you want from me?" Liam stared down at her, his gaze dark and intense. "Can't you feel what I want?" His voice was low, rough, thick with barely controlled desire.
Mandy turned her head away, refusing to meet his eyes.
Liam let out a cold, humorless laugh.
"Still so stubborn? Fine.!!'!! Keep going until you finally fisten."
With that, his hands began to wander, tracing over her body. Mandy twisted desperately trying to break free, but it was no use. Inside the car, the air grew heavy, charged with tension and heat-a storm about to break.
