Leon returned back to the store afterwards. The thugs he had beaten earlier were nowhere to be found again. So he stood in the middle of the store and called out to the store owner, “Miss, It’s me. The one who was sent by Emma Mitchell to get what she bought from you.” There was silence for a second before he heard a creaking sound behind him and turned to its direction to see the store owner emerging from the back of the store, her eyes pinned on him in disbelief. She stopped in front of him and voiced out her anazement, “Y-you’re really back? But how…how are you back in one piece?” Leon walked to the boxes on the floor and pointed at one of them with a blank look on his face, “I’m running late with them already. Can you check and replace the missing item?” “S-sure.” The woman nodded immediately and got to work. As she moved around the store looking for where the item was, she kept glancing back at the door. It was clear she was wary of the sudden silence and feared a thug woul

For the next three hours, the car was silent. Dean didnt even have the will to play his shooting games. They arrived in Carlin Hotel a few minutes after Ryan and his family. The hotel’s compound was spacious and was a building with over fifty floors. While Aria and Leon got their things out of the fourth car, Emma and Dean got out of the car and waltzed into the hotel. Anthony took his time looking around the hotel before he unhurriedly walked into the hotel as well. Aria and Leon dragged the bags and suitcases into the lobby to find Dean waiting for them impatiently. “Mom says to bring the bags to our rooms before you go to yours.” He said and began walking towards an elevator without helping with the bags. Anthony walked up to Aria and helped her with some of the bags. But they had just gotten to the elevator when it opened and Emma stormed out of it with a furious look in her eyes. Dean ran after her immediately while Leon and Aria glanced at each other in confusion before

Someone raised his hand and asked, “What if the person decides to stay forever?” A light laughter rang out in the bar before the host smiled again. “Well, that will be a little too much, but the person is allowed to stay for at least three months.”“Their food, laundry and every other thing that needs to be done will be taken care of for free by the hotel.” The people were shocked hearing him and some of them couldn’t help but pray out loud. “The hotel owner must be in a very good mood. I hope the god of luck smiles down on me today.” “I pray so too.” Once their prayers died down, the host continued, “There are a total of 30 papers for everyone here which means everyone gets a gift for participating.” “The waiters will now give you piece of papers with numbers written on it. Good luck.” Waiters walked around the bar, giving people a bowl to pick papers from. After the numbers were shared, Ryan turned to his sister. “I got number 7.” Mia checked hers and beamed brightly. “I go

As soon as he concluded, one of the waiters handed her a flower and the other customers began clapping their hands to congratulate her. She walked down the stage, headed straight to their table. When she got there, she realized Ryan and Mia were nowhere to be found. Leon was the only one standing there and applauding her with a wide smile. She stopped in front of him and asked, “Where did they go?” Leon stopped clapping and replied,“They got up and left as soon as you went up.”Then he beamed brightly almost immediately. “Congratulations, Aria!” Some hotel attendants came up to them at that moment and offered to take their things to the penthouse. Emma and Dean were seething angrily in their room when hotel attendants knocked on their door and offered to carry their things upstairs. They were surprised at first and thought Joseph had a change of heart. However, when the elevator kept going up, they grew worried. Emma couldn’t sit still any longer and tapped one of the attenda

As soon as they reported what had happened to Joseph, he immediately went up to the penthouse with them. The hotel attendants were just leaving, so the door was open for them to barge into. However, the hotel attendants suddenly blocked their path and said coldly, “Are you the family of Ms. Miller?” “What nonsense is this? My children and I should be the ones in this house! How dare you block my path!” Joseph stood by the door and thundered furiously. The attendants glanced at themselves, but didn’t move. It was still fresh in their minds, the strict warning they had gotten from the manager of the hotel to treat those in the penthouse with utmost respect and to be extremely cautious with them. In addition, they were told not to let anyone who wasn’t a member of their family in. Judging from how Aria hadn’t asked them to help Joseph and his family into the penthouse, then that meant they meant nothing to her. As that thought settled in their mind, they glared hard at Joseph. “
