Master of his heart (Max and Brielle)
Chapter 1043

But he never expected Daisy to be that helpless. Nor did he expect to feel just as useless himself.

All he had to do was sit back and let Kenzo deal with Dustin. That way, Brielle would be in agony. She had hurt him deeply, and making her suffer seemed like a fitting reminder. Sometimes, hatred is a kind of memory.

After all, this whole mess wasn't his plan. Kenzo was the one who betrayed Dustin, driven by the shadowy forces behind him.

King reassured himself that all he needed to do was watch. He didn't care about the lives of others, nor did he care about the decades-long schemes of those behind Kenzo. Toying with them, letting them think they had Saudi Arabia in their grip, was amusing. His favorite pastime was watching the self-righteous fall into despair, just like Antonio.

He just wanted Brielle to learn her lesson.

But when the moment came, he couldn't stand to see Dustin die.

He had already intervened to stop the Lynch family from taking Brielle back. If Brielle found out he had stood by while Dustin was in danger, she would never be with him.

He must have been affected by Max, making him indecisive.

That night, Dustin managed to escape. Kenzo's men were close to catching him, but King stepped in.

He had Dustin taken to a small village, where he was found by a woman studying medicine.

After all this, King swore never to do something so foolish again.

He should have dealt with Dustin like he did Daisy, not helping him survive.

When it came to Daisy, he hadn't hesitated for a second.

Even though Daisy had seen everything, her fear stopped her from telling Alivia. Just running into Kenzo sent her into a panic, and she fled.

If Daisy couldn't do her job, she was useless.

That night, he hadn't planned on killing her. He just wanted to pressure her into revealing what she knew, hoping she would tell others.

It was Daisy's last words that sealed her fate.

"I don't know anything. If you have a grudge against Kenzo, go after him," she said, right after getting a card from Kenzo.

Could someone so weak and useless really spill a secret?

He doubted it, so he decided to kill her.

Plus, Daisy's death would make Brielle suspect Kenzo, killing two birds with one stone.

He had always hated that old witch. She had conspired with Martha and always indulged Alivia in hurting Brielle.

If she was useless, why keep her around?

A waste of air.

When he killed her, King even imitated Max's voice.

Daisy was utterly shocked. To her, Max was just a youngster, close t

Martha, and she believed Max would never kill her, especially since they had secrets on Max.

Discovering her son's true nature had already shattered Daisy's world. To then realize, in her final

moments, that she would die at the hands of someone she had known for years must have been devastating.

"You're Max."

"How could it be Max?"

"What's your deal, and what's Kenzo's?"

Daisy had so many questions, but she only managed to start a sentence before she died.

King felt nothing over her death.

Afterward, he focused on how to kill Max and take his place by Brielle's side, making sure she wouldn't notice Max's change.

He didn't need to hurry; he had been patient for so long, enduring countless intimate moments between them.

But when Brielle got pregnant, he lost it completely.

Brielle had once thrown away their child I like garbage, yet she cherished Max's child as if it were the mo

precious thing in the world.

Why?

Why treat Max's child like a treasure and his like trash?

It wasn't fair.

He was filled with hatred.

He had to take Brielle away, so he rushed his plans.

This haste tipped Max off that something was wrong.
