Kaiden squatted in front of Steve, looking into Steve's eyes with a gentle gaze."Why are you saying that? I have no ill will toward you, Steve."Steve remained silent, appraising Kaiden's face with his blank staring eyes."I told you that I had something to do yesterday after the event, right? I went to see a man who said he could help me fight my cousins over the company heir issue. I came with sky-high hopes, hoping that there would finally be some light coming in and helping me out of my troubles. But I was wrong.The crazy man took me to his room, then he said that he would help if I would serve his depraved lust.I was so shocked, my chest tight as my hopes were shattered just like that. Then when I tried to escape, he tried to hold me down and harassed me.I was lucky that I was able to escape from him.He was a good man whom my father used to trust so much, I considered him like my own uncle. But what did he do? Because of that... how can I trust a stranger like you, Kaiden?"

"Are you going to your country tonight?" Steve asked.Kaiden, who was waving goodbye to the Chihuahua dog and its owner who is now walking away, now turned to Steve."Well, I have a lot of work. My father will stay here until the business is done. Are you okay if I leave?"Steve looked the other way, "I'll be fine, but... can't you stay longer? This is the first time I've had a friend as nice as you."Kaiden invited Steve to sit down on a park bench, to which he replied."What can I do? I can't stay here forever. I have a big job and responsibilities. I have to fulfill my responsibilities there, but if I had to choose, I'd rather be here and have fun with you. I just became an adult and it turns out that adulthood has a lot of responsibilities."Steve bowed his head, "Yeah, I'm the same with you. I guess I was too greedy to expect you to stay with me."Kaiden shifted his body to face Steve, "If your troubles here are over, come to my country- oh, didn't you say your mother is there to

Kaiden felt like his mind was going crazy because he was so curious about the girl he had just met that day at the airport.Ellaina.Kaiden took the girl to the Orchid hotel, at the girl's request.The girl confessed that she was vacationing in the city alone. She was from Russia, she said.However, the skill saw the truth and said something different.According to his skill, Ella is a mix of several countries, such as Europe and Russia, but she lived in France for a long time.So, she lied when she said she was from Russia.Then, the skill also said that Ella fell in love with Kaiden at first sight and was trying to make Kaiden hers.In fact, from the skill Kaiden knows that Ella went to that country for a mission.The mission came from the Beaufort family, Steve's family.Ella is a famous young model and often goes to several fashion shows of famous brands.She is beautiful and desired by many men.Because of this, Ella's mission is to approach Kaiden and then kill Kaiden by poisoni

"Ella, what's wrong? Why are you being quiet and not eating?" asked Kaiden, as he placed the tray of food on the nightstand. Then he approached Ella who sat hugging her knees.Ella turned to Kaiden, then went back to being quiet and daydreaming about who knows what."Ella-""I'm afraid... if the Beaufort family finds out I'm not on their side, how could I possibly stand between Lordde?" Ella murmured.Kaiden was silent for a moment, before extending his hand and grabbing the beautiful girl's chin to look up and stare at him.Again, Ella was lost in the enchantment of Kaiden's dark eyes. They were so dark and mysterious, Ella couldn't look away from them.Ella knew no one in the apartment approved of her being there, except Kaiden. However, Ella closed her ears, her eyes, she didn't want to know.If she wasn't with Kaiden, she would be in danger.For a long time, Ella felt she was being used by the Beaufort family. She wanted to escape but couldn't. She always did what they told her to

"Ella..." Kaiden tried to call out to Ella, who remained silent as she ate her lunch. Kaiden's cooking was definitely better than the food at the restaurant that still belonged to Lordde.It wasn't that Ella was sick of seeing Cedric joking around with his two girlfriends there. But it was because the taste of the food could not make Ella satisfied."I know you're upset about your future husband-""No, I'm upset with you." Ella replied quickly. She looked at Kaiden with a disappointed and hurt look."Me?" Asked Kaiden who was completely desensitized to Ella's feelings that were exploding inside. Ella was just pretending to be calm at that moment, acting elegantly to get her self-esteem back after being tarnished thanks to that bastard Cedric.Cedric's two girlfriends who joined him for lunch were two young women who were just starting their modeling careers. It was obvious why the two young ladies wanted to be Cedric's umpteenth girlfriends.However, neither of them seemed to respect
