It's a bright sunny morning...

An aged man adorned in black pants, a white shirt, and a black shade, emerges from Skygate International Airport.

He strides purposefully towards a car seemingly waiting for him, and without a word, opens the backdoor and enters.

"Welcome, sir. Where to please?"

"Eve's Allure Emporium." The driver nods and steps on the gas pedal, zooming away.

A short while later, a mysterious figure, dressed in black pants, a black shirt, and sporting a hat and shades, exits the airport, his phone glued to his ear.

"My Lord," he breathes, "I've just arrived at Opulence Heights with Mr. Smith. He has left for Eve's Allure Emporium."

He nods to whatever the person on the other end said, drops back his phone into his pocket and scans his surroundings. "Hey," he waves at a driver standing in front of his taxi and probably looking for passengers.

The taxi driver immediately enters his taxi and drives over to him. "Where to, kind sir?" He pops out his head and asks.

    "Jordan Callahan?" Lorenzo is caught off guard. "Is there another Jordan Callahan in Opulence Heights besides my Lord?" He muses, placing his hand on his jaw.The driver's eyes widen at Lorenzo's words. Though Lorenzo was murmuring to himself, he had luckily heard a little of what he was murmuring. He can't help but fully turn to him as he asks in shallow breaths, "You know Jordan Callahan, and did you say he is your Lord? What do you mean by that?"Lorenzo shrugs. "You don't need to worry about that. The Jordan I know might not be the Jordan you were talking about. As you probably know, I'm a foreigner. I come from East Veridora and the Jordan Callahan I speak of is from there. He definitely can't be the one you are talking about.""That might not be the case," the driver shakes his head."What do you mean?" Lorenzo arches his brows at him."Well," the driver shrugs. "After the incident ten years ago, Jordan Callahan disappeared from Opulence Heights. If you know of a Jordan Callahan

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    IT'S NOTHING

    Jordan is Lorenzo's Lord and though he doesn't know the relationship between Jordan and the Callahans, one thing he is certain of is that Jordan protects his identity with everything he has. Probably, because he doesn't want the Callahans of Opulence Heights to find out his whereabouts. How then will he let a mere taxi driver ruin everything and leak Jordan's whereabouts to the Callahans, whoever they are?A killing intent flashes in his eyes and he clenches his fists. If the taxi driver is really bent on going ahead with his plan, he won't have any other option but to kill him.Feeling Lorenzo's killing intent towards him, the taxi driver shudders and breaks out in a cold sweat. "I won't do it! I won't, kind sir! Please don't kill me!" He yells frantically.Lorenzo stares at him and narrows his brows. "How can I trust you?""I'm just a mere taxi driver, kind sir, while you follow Mr. Callahan. I'm wise enough to know who to make an enemy. Please forgive me, I was overwhelmed by my emo

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    THE INVINCIBLE FOUR

    The taxi driver relaxes back into his seat and stares out of the car into the sky as if in thoughts. After a while, he looks at Lorenzo through the rearview and says calmly, "There are four top families in Opulence Heights, known as the invincible four. Since time immemorial or I should say since I came to know about them, these families have ruled and governed Opulence Heights. It is safe to say that everything in Opulence Heights revolves around them. And they own most of the well-known companies, hospitals, hotels, etc, in the county. "The Callahans are one of the invincible four. Nah, not just are they one of them, rumors have it that they lead the other three families. That can answer your question of how wealthy and influential they are."Though it is not a well known fact, I mean the remark of them leading the other three families, anyone can tell that that is the case as the Callahans have often given orders to the other families and they adhere."As for how powerful they are

  • A Billionaire After Divorce    HIS OWN EFFORTS

    Lorenzo is beyond shocked at the taxi driver's words. Never for once had it crossed his mind that Jordan might hail from such a formidable family. The discovery is scary as is the young man himself. He takes a deep breath to calm his nerves and remembering the last words of the taxi driver, sighs as he says depressingly, "I've followed him for the past three years and I'm only hearing about his family from you, a stranger, what makes you think he might ever consider to let me in on such sacred details?" Lorenzo really feels sad about this. Jordan is his Lord yet he can't boast of one thing he knows about him. If not for the taxi driver, he wouldn't have known that Jordan's family is this formidable. He wouldn't even have known about his family. Perhaps, could it be that Jordan doesn't trust him enough?"Don't take it that way," seeing through Lorenzo's misery, the taxi driver offers him comfort. "People like Mr. Callahan are not always free to disclose their identity. It doesn't mean

    "A result of his own efforts?" Lorenzo's eyes twitches. After hearing that Jordan comes from such a powerful and formidable family, he had assumed that he must have achieved everything he had due to his family's influence. But that doesn't seem to be the case as it turns out that Jordan never received any help from his family, which means he is purely self-made."Hah!" He can't help but break out in a cold sweat. Now, he is realizing just how terrifying Jordan is. Someone who could reach his level while relying on his own efforts is definitely no one ordinary.It takes him a while to calm himself down before he looks up at the taxi driver and asks again, "What position is My Lord in the Callahan family?"The taxi driver shakes his head. "I have no idea. But considering that the Callahans already has an heir, I'm assuming he must be an ordinary member of the family.""An ordinary member?" Lorenzo is disappointed and he can't hide it as his face falls. For someone who could wreck the ki

    "Is that enough?" Lorenzo glares at the taxi driver, and reaches into his pocket, pulling out another bundle. "Or do you need more?"The taxi driver grins broadly, exclaiming, "Kind sir is so generous! Two bundles are more than enough, but if kind sir wishes to add another, who am I to refuse?" He snickers shamelessly."So shameless," Lorenzo hisses and shakes his head before tossing the bundle to him.The taxi driver merely chuckles as he grabs the third bundle and stashes it away with the others. "Thank you so much, kind sir!" Looking at Lorenzo through the rearview, he says and bows slightly."Your information was worth it. You don't have to be so polite," Lorenzo waves him off dismissively and turns to stare at the same spot he stared at earlier. A sneer tugs at the corners of his lips as he realizes that the figure is no longer there and he turns back to the taxi driver and says calmly, "We can leave now. The coast is clear."When Lorenzo entered the taxi driver's cab, he had imme

    "Oh?" Anderson's eyes sparkle and a smirk appears on his face. "Turns out the little protege and that old fogey are really facing crisis. Hahaha. How sweet. Now, I'll snatch from them their only hope at survival!" A menacing glint flashes in his eyes. "What are we still waiting for? Let's go!""What's the rush?" The figure raises a brow and instead of walking out, plops down on one of the guests seats. "There are still so many families and companies battling for the order. We can't be entangled in such derogatory battle."Let's allow the old man battle against those families and companies and feel victory close to his grasp then we will enter and snatch it from him.""Hmm?" Anderson places his hand on his jaw, seemingly considering that but after a while, shakes his head. "That sounds like fun but it is time wasting and might ruin my plans.

    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!" Natasha slams her hand

    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

    LET'S GO IN

    "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
