“As you asked, I am Mr. Dana’s master. I’m also Satyre’s master and a few others. Truth be told, we’re working on making the numbers more” Anthony said then chuckled embarrassingly.He watched Annabelle become speechless at the information he just gave her. Yes, she had her suspicions but hearing it get confirmed was so big that she couldn’t believe how big it actually was.“Annabelle, are you okay?” He tried to check on her and she nodded her head slowly but with a face like she wasn’t entirely there.“Good, that means we can carry on with our date,” Anthony said and with a hand gesture, he called the waiter who was just a few feet away, staring at them blankly.“Here are your menus, Sir and Madam,” the waiter said as she got to their table. She wanted to drop the menus on the table but Anthony took them from her instead.“Thank you,” Anthony said before he went to set the menus in front of him but when he tried doing the same for Annabelle, she still seemed dazed like she was trying

Anthony helped Annabelle get down from the table then she went to sit down on her chair opposite from him. With the table freed, Ludwig gestured at the waiters to go serve the couple their dishes which they did, and when their work was done Ludwig and the waiters bowed their heads to wish Anthony and Annabelle a delicious meal before giving them their privacy once again.The two of them enjoyed their meal in peace and after that, they went on to have a mind-blowing dessert. Anthony who wasn’t used to these sorts of things didn’t think he would enjoy the food as much as he did.After they were done, Anthony asked to see all the people who took part in making everything they ate and both he and Annabelle thanked them for their wonderful work.Since everything they had to do was over with the conclusion of their date, Anthony and Annabelle left the dining hall and stood in front of the elevator.Ludwig and the same five staff who had greeted Anthony and Annabelle when they first came to

He quickly brought out his phone and when he checked what the messages and phone calls were about, every single person, even those not from the group chat, was messaging him about their company being completely gone.Mr. Welling’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped. His teeth clacked uncontrollably.“This can’t be real” Mr. Welling mumbled as he checked the preview of every message his supporters were sending him and it was the same all through.The bad news wasn’t what he wanted to see so the next thing he tried was going into the search engine on his phone. He wanted to see for himself if it was true or not“My God, this can’t be happening right now!” he exclaimed when the admin tab he had opened for the website wasn’t coming up.“No no no no no!” He closed the tab entirely and opened a new one. He tried logging into his admin account again but like the news, he was getting, the page was completely gone without a trace.He searched for news about the disappearance of the company and t

“Why?” Anthony asked, grimacing while staring at the half-wrapped package on the bed.“It’s for what you—“ Tessa said then frowned when she saw the face Anthony was making toward her gift. Getting annoyed because of that, she slapped his shoulder“Will you just accept your gift and stop complaining? You should be happy I’m doing this at all because I don’t normally do this for anyone. You should even be thanking me for being thoughtful toward you”Tessa scoffed, folded her arms on each other, and looked the other way.Discreetly, Joseph tugged on Anthony’s suit sleeve, pulling his attention to look down at him.Joseph whispered “The only person sis has ever bought a gift for is her first boyfriend back when we still lived with our parents. Doing this must be a big deal for her so please just accept it”Anthony looked at Josephine and she had the same expression Joseph was making, imploring that he accepts the gift since Tessa went through all the trouble of going out to buy it when sh

“There he is!” Owen said as he gestured at Anthony standing by the door “So young man, are you finally going to explain to me why I’m here in the first place?”Anthony took in a deep breath, sighed as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, and said “I would but I’ll rather have them do it”His words confused everyone who heard it at first but in less than a second it made sense when a few police cars came parking in front of the restaurant.“What’s going on here?” Owen asked “Are those the police? What are they doing here?”“Is there an emergency or what?” Casey asked Michael as nobody called the police but here they are.Before anyone could answer any of the questions asked, rushing into the building was a squad of police officers dressed in protective gear who also had their shields and teaser guns with them.“Miss Marilyn Abali, you’re under arrest for multiple counts of sexual assault, rape, kidnapping, drugging and abuse of minors, blackmail and other offenses to be mentioned onc
