Chapter 15

Even while throwing jabs, Jace still carried himself like a gentleman. When he called out "fiancee", it caught Callum and Harper off guard. Harper instinctively glanced up at Jace, and he subtly shook his head at her. She was momentarily taken aback before realizing his intention. He was helping her get away from Callum. A wave of warmth washed over her, and she flashed Jace a grateful smile. But all Callum felt was a sharp pang of jealousy. Callum grabbed Jace by the collar. "Who are you calling your fiancee?" Jace didn't flinch, but there was something provoking in his stare. "Are you sure you want to do this here?" Callum knew where Jace's confidence came from. His bodyguards were already in position, and the tourist spot had plenty of police on patrol. Getting physical with Jace here and now would only backfire on Callum. But walking away without doing anything would burn his pride. Both men—equally striking and imposing—faced off in silence. Tension crackled between them.
