It's late afternoon, Jordan walks out of an office, wearing a weary yet happy smile. For the first time in many years, he feels a genuine sense of purpose.

He can't help but reminisce on how long he had to wait for this day to come.

This day where the plan against Starwood Apparels officially begins.

"Jordan!" A familiar voice suddenly calls out, interrupting the tranquil moment. And the next second, a fatigued Natasha slowly approaches him, her expression somber. Her voice had arrived even before she did.

"What's the matter? Why do you look so down?" At a glance at her surprisingly sad expression and slumped shoulders, Jordan inquires softly.

Natasha lets out a deep sigh as she explains, "World Apparels Galaxy as I told you on the very first day has always been my dream company to work in, and I've been so happy doing just that since I got employed despite the recent challenges I've faced with Mr. Wright.

"But now, with the sudden crisis the company is facing, I'm worried about my

    The ride to a restaurant is smooth and quick, and in no time, Jordan and Natasha arrive at Savoria Bistro, a regular restaurant a few meters away from World Apparels Galaxy. Without delay, they enter the restaurant, Natasha grinning ear to ear.This might just be lunch, but she feels so incredibly happy, as if she is over the moon. Guess this is what it feels like to spend time with her favorite person in the world."We should sit here," she points to a table next to the window."Of course, allow me," Jordan replies, playing the role of a perfect gentleman. He pulls out Natasha's chair and gestures with a slight bow, showing her to her seat"Aww, how sweet," Natasha purrs as if a sweet little cat before settling down.As she does, Jordan hands her a towel."To protect your blouse," he explains, but before she can take it, he drapes it over her, causing their bodies to softly touch."Mmm," Natasha unconsciously lets out a soft moan, and as she realizes what had just happened, her face t

    "Isn't that Miss Daisy? What is she doing here?" At Daisy's unexpected arrival, one of the nearby diners asks, wide-eyed."Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what she said? She clearly came here because her man went out on a date with another girl!""But how can that be possible? That young man she is looking at doesn't seem to be of any significant status. How can he be her man? Who is he anyway? Does anyone know?" The young man glances around."I think I know who he is!" After a moment of silence, a young lady suddenly steps forward and says."If you do, then tell us!""Yes, don't waste our time!" The other diners urge her impatiently."As you said, he is of no significant status. That is because he is none other than the ex-live-in son-in-law of the Cadens!""Oh, wow, so he's the infamous live-in son-in-law. How shameful. But how is it that he is Miss Daisy's man? "Could it be that she is mistaking his identity for another? I don't see any reason she would be going out with a pauper lik

    "Miss Daisy," Natasha gasps, utterly flabbergasted to see that Daisy is behind her abduction. Obviously, she never thought that Daisy could go to such extremes. Before she can utter another word, John, at Daisy's signal, swiftly rubs a handkerchief over her nose, causing her to lose consciousness.As Natasha lies unconscious, John gently places her down and turns to Daisy, asking anxiously. "Princess, don't you think you are going too far by abducting her?"Daisy's expression doesn't change in the slightest as she replies indifferently, "I might be, but I don't care. "I warned her yesterday that I'd take drastic measures if she doesn't stay away from Jordan but she didn't take my warning seriously. I'm about to make her realize that I'm not joking. Jordan is my man—mine!""But regardless of the circumstances, she is still Mr. Callahan's friend, Princess. If he finds out you did this, he won't be pleased with you and that might strain your relationship with him. Surely, you wouldn't

    "Nope," Jordan retorts. "Go back to whatever you were doing, I'll handle things." He hangs up and waltzes out of the main building."This way, Mr. Callahan," at the sight of Jordan, the guard from earlier, hurries over to him and says, gesturing to a pathway.Jordan merely nods as he follows him."Sorry to intrude, Mr. Callahan, but there's quite a number of chauffeurs and vehicles at the gallery. If you'd like a ride back home, I can make the necessary arrangements," the guard suggests as they approach the gate."I can manage on my own," however, Jordan flatly rejects and opens the gate."Very well, Mr. Callahan, take care," the guard bows, and as Jordan walks out, closes the gate behind him.Naturally, Jordan should have made an arrangement for an Uber before getting to the gate but that doesn't seem to be the case this time around as even after so many minutes no Uber pulls over in front of him, and surprisingly, he doesn't seem to care as he keeps walking, his hands in his pockets

    "But a cup should suffice," John hesitantly objects, his gaze filled with anxiety."A bucket is a bucket! I am your Princess and you would do as I say!" Daisy snaps."Of course, Princess. I sincerely apologize for my impertinence," John quickly says and bows before rushing out. In a matter of minutes, he returns with a brimming bucket of water, steam rising from its surface.As he reaches Natasha, he empties the entire bucket on her, drenching her completely from head to toe."Ah!" As the water makes contact with Natasha, she cries out at the top of her lungs as she recoils, gasping for breath."It's freezing! So cold! Someone get a towel! Someone, please get a towel!" She shivers uncontrollably, her face flushing crimson."You, it's you," However, as her gaze drops to the man in front of her, she exclaims, her eyes filled with immense fear. Instantly, she tries to distance herself from him only to realize that she is bound to a chair and can't move an inch. "No, no," she begins strug

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    IT'S MR. CALLAHAN

    Daisy's eyes exude a dark and malicious aura, causing her to appear starkly different from the innocent, cheerful, and, carefree young lady she once seemed to be. And there's no doubt about her intentions to inflict harm upon Natasha as she slowly lifts the knife towards her face, a cruel sneer playing on her lips. "You may be surprised to learn that I initially contemplated the grisly act of directly chopping off your head and private parts as I said I would," she remarks, grinning eerily. "But upon deeper reflection, I found such extreme measures to be entirely unnecessary. "You know why?" Her grin widens as she taunts, the blade of the knife tracing along Natasha's beautiful face. "Because I came to realize that true satisfaction lies in destroying something every woman cherishes deeply. You understand what I'm talking about, don't you? I'm sure you do," she chuckles, her expression menacing. "I'll destroy your face, and still have the man! You'll be suffering on two fronts. Firs

    In a jiffy, Jordan reaches Natasha and stoops down before her. With a casual yank, he rips off her bindings and Natasha, not having any grip on herself, falls into him."Jordan," she whispers feverishly, her hot breath fanning his skin and tears streaming down her cheeks. "You are here. You came for me. Thank you for coming. Please, take me out of here. Everything hurts. Everywhere hurts. My face burns. It burns so much... as if it's on fire," she clings onto him so tightly as if he would disappear if she leaves him, hiccups escaping her lips.Natasha doesn't think she has ever been this hurt in her entire life. And the fact that a fellow lady did this to her makes the pain even more painful. But as she recalls that Jordan is here now, she lets out a breath, relief washing over her, and slumps, slipping into unconsciousness.Jordan lets out a heavy sigh as he glances at the woman in his arms. Just last night, she had almost gotten assaulted by a former classmate, and now this. She k

"We are...," he tries to say but Jordan doesn't let him finish as he abruptly tosses his payment to him, carries Natasha, and alights, slamming the door shut. Natasha's face is so battered and bloody and he can only hope the hospital can provide the necessary treatment to address her injuries and prevent any lasting scars. He knows what a nightmare it would be for her if she is left with any scars. Luckily, he had intervened in time, just before Daisy could finish her ridiculous masterpiece.Without further ado, he strides into the hospital, heading straight for the Emergency Department.

    MY SON

    Henry's face darkens. He is the young master of the Maguires, how can he get on his knees and apologize to Jordan?Such an act would not only disappoint his family but also jeopardize his position as the heir apparent. His pride and ego would also be crushed and he might never be able to raise his head high again."You don't want to do it?""You're being unfairly unfair to me. When Isabella apologized to you, you didn't ask her to get on her knees. Why are you asking me to do that? What are you trying to achieve?""Achieve? Hmph!" Jordan snorts. "I choose how I want anyone to apologize to me. It's late, and I need to leave. Are you apologizing or not?""I can only apologize to you while standing; I'll never kneel to you," Henry grits his teeth."What if I insist?" A menacing aura suddenly bursts out of Jordan, and he grabs Henry's shoulder, applying force."Ah!" Henry cries out, his face distorting. "What are you doing?!" he barks."Kneel!" Jordan bellows, applying more force.THUD!J

    GET ON YOUR KNEES

    Seeing this, Natasha turns pale. From Jordan's reaction, it's obvious he and this person are not on good terms. This leaves her wondering how that could be when the person gifted him such a unique card.Perhaps he did before whatever happened between them happened. She can't help feeling bad for asking the question."I'm sorry," she whispers."It's fine," Jordan offers her a small smile. "You did nothing. Let's just continue eating."Back at the hall...Somehow Henry and Isabella has managed to consume a quarter of the order. For an order that took three tables, that in itself is a commendable feat. At this moment, Isabella is sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat.Though there's AC in the room, it's as if nothing is touching her. Her naturally flat tummy appears to have broken its record today as it is now protruding. Beside Isabella, Henry is in a similar state, just that he is gasping so much, almost as if he can't breathe.For the first time, he believes the adage that says wha

    I BROKE A BANK

    "What? Why? Jordan paid all the bills so why am I not allowed to leave?" Isabella asks, staring at the burly men in confusion."Our general manager instructed us not to let any of you leave until the food and wine on the round table are cleared.""What?" Isabella's jaw drops. "What does he mean by that? How can only two of us finish that quantity of food and wine?""We don't know, Miss, but that is the instruction. Except the food and wines are cleared, you can only remain here.""How ridiculous!" Henry stands and bellows. "I'm the young master of the Maguires, will you two really stop me from leaving?""We only follow instructions, sir. It doesn't matter who you are, so yes.""Fine, wait until I send for my family guards!" Henry glares at them and reaches into his pocket and pulls out his phone.However, before he can do anything with it, the phone is swiftly snatched from him."I'm sorry, sir. But that is not allowed. You can only start eating now or remain here even after the resta

    NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE

    Henry and Isabella had devised a plan to embarrass Jordan, hoping he would struggle to pay the bills and end up washing plates for a month. However, their scheme took an unexpected turn when Jordan not only paid the bills but did so with an astonishing 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars. This isn't 2. 4 million, 98 thousand dollars or 200 million, 98 thousand dollars but 2.4 billion, 98 thousand dollars! Isabella doesn't know what to make of this. The Jordan she divorced days ago was just a penniless man, one she and her family saw as a liability, which resulted to the divorce. How did he become so wealthy in the blink of an eye? Is she dreaming?She pinches herself to be sure before staring back at the screen. Seeing the numbers still blatantly visible on big screen, she can't help but inhale sharply.She was not dreaming. It's actually real. Jordan really paid the bills. He actually forked out 2.4 billion! She freezes.For a while, a heavy silence hangs in the air before the room b

    WHAT?!

    "What is this?" As the waitress accepts the card from Jordan and stares down at it, she asks, her brows furrowed in confusion."Hahaha, Jordan, did you pick up a play card on the floor? When did debit start being gold in color?" Henry jeers, laughing mockingly at him."That you don't know the card, is that what makes it a play card that I picked on the floor?" Jordan scoffs. "Anyways, your reaction is well expected, I would have been even surprised if any of you knew the card because the card is only one in the entire country, specially made for me.""Hah, what is that? Isn't he exaggerating too much?" A diner frowns. "He is just a pauper; how could he have a card that is only one in the country and is specially made for him? In fact, when has it ever been heard that a card was specially made for someone? Even the King of Zephyria might not have such card, who is he to?""He must be playing games with us all! Hah, he has no money and he made such a scene. How infuriating.""Well, I'm

    GOLD CARD

    "Why will I?" Jordan retorts, rolling his eyes. "Please order away! Don't hold back!""Jordan," Natasha, not being able to help it, tugs at his shirt. "They are obviously plotting against you, how can you still ask her to order after Henry has ordered that much? Do you really have the money to pay?"Jordan smiles. "I wasn't joking when I said I could buy this whole restaurant, let alone a few drinks and meals. What are you waiting for? Order yours as well. Also add mine.""Hahaha, Jordan, you seem to have hit the jackpot. Even your character is like one a wealthy man. In that case, I won't be polite neither will I hold back." Isabella turns to the waiter who is still waiting. "I will have this, this, this, this..." Unlike Henry who only placed order for approximately twelve meals and wines, Isabella takes hers up a notch, ordering 20 meals and 20 wines, the meals in the price range of five hundred thousand and the wines in the price range of one million."Ah!"

    PLOTTING AGAINST HIM

    Two days ago or thereabout, Isabella met with Henry Maguire who urged her to invest in Starwood Apparels. However, Jordan came out of nowhere to tell her that doing so would be the greatest mistake she would ever make. He even claimed that the company would soon be destroyed. He had been so confident in his words that she started doubting her decision. If not for Henry that urged to trust him even just that once, that was how she would have been deceived and lost out on a rare opportunity to rise her family back to glory.Now, when Henry asked Jordan what he could say considering how things just turned out, she had expected him to at least be humble and sane enough to apologize for spilling the trash he spilled the last time.Instead of doing that, he began spilling another trash and acting as if he was one celestial god. She is so infuriated and can't help but wonder how it could be possible that they were once married. At this moment, she feels divorcing him has to be the best dec

    SCULPTED PALATE

    "Let's sit here," finding a table close to the window, Jordan says and draws out a chair, gesturing like a perfect gentleman,"Please sit, My Lady."Natasha rolls her eyes and mouths a soft "thank you" before taking her seat."You are always welcome, My Lady," Jordan smiles and walks over to the other side, also taking his seat."Welcome to Sculpted Palate, one of the best restaurants in East Veridora, dear prestigious customers. "Here, we serve all kinds of sumptuous and luxurious meals. Here are our menus for your selections. The price of each meal is attached to it," almost immediately, a beautiful waitress approaches Jordan and Natasha and says with a charming smile.Jordan doesn't bother to accept a menu from the waitress. He says indifferently, "I'll have anything the lady picks."Natasha feels her cheeks reddening at that statement. She quickly takes a menu from the waitress and uses it to cover her face. Simultaneously, she glances over the pages.The next second, a frown res

    "Mr. Callahan, have you found what it is you forgot? What was it though?" As they pass the receptionist's desk, the receptionist, catching a glimpse of Jordan, lifts her gaze and asks."Yes, I have, and it is...," Jordan pauses, a smile tugging at his lips as he glances down at Natasha Natasha beside him."What are you looking at me for?" Natasha turns deeper shades of red. She has to turn her face away him.Jordan chuckles and drawls, "I told the beautiful receptionist that I lost something, which was why I came back to the company, but what she didn't know was that I actually didn't lose something but someone. Now, I've found her and I'm leaving with her.""Aww, that's so sweet," the receptionist whispers. "I've been seeing you guys together a lot. It's a good thing you decided to allow love blossom between you. "You guys look so good together, almost like a match made in heaven! I can't wait for your wedding invitation!"Jordan stares at Natasha, whose cheeks are now as red as fr
