While Isabella is overwhelmed with these confusing thoughts, the beautiful stranger can't help but start getting worried about Jordan. It's not like she wants to believe what Henry just said, but then again, she doesn't know that much about Jordan, and from what Arthur said, he is only the grandson of his old friend.That doesn't necessarily mean they are close and as such, Henry might be right when he said Arthur possibly despises Jordan, which is why he took him away.Her chest clenches tightly as a tide of guilt shoots through her. If only she didn't walk up to Jordan, all these wouldn't have happened and he wouldn't be in the midst of whatever it is he is facing over there right now.Her eyes sting with tears. If something happens to him, she really doesn't think she would ever be able to forgive herself.However, things are unlike what the beautiful stranger thinks it is because, in a luxurious private room in the uppermost part of the building, Jordan is sitting nonchalantly on a
The party has just ended. Although Jordan didn't really participate in it as he had been with Arthur throughout, he can't help but feel that the outing was just what he needed to get some things out of his head.He casts a glance at Arthur, seemingly bidding him goodbye, and stands, about to walk out, but Arthur suddenly clears his throat, supposedly having something to say but still doesn't say anything."Say whatever it is you want to say, Smith, I don't have all night here with you."Jordan's voice is calm yet so chilling that Arthur breaks out in a cold sweat. "Uhm," he gulps, scratching his hair. "I just want to ask if I could drive you back home. After all, I brought you here and you possibly don't have any car to go back.""There are Uber services, so what if I have no car here, can't I grab an Uber home? Anyways, you can always do that as long as you do it discreetly. My identity kept secret till I want it revealed is better than your life, so don't think I won't dare do anyth
It's a new day. The rays of light penetrating the cotton into the room falls on Jordan, who is sprawled out on the master bed.A glance at the room is enough to show anyone that it must have cost a fortune as the room glows and twinkles.From the chandeliers hanging on the roof to the tiles on the floor, everything screams overbearing wealth. The room is in shades of gold, black and white. The wall is painted white. The cotton, duvet, pillow, and bed are black. And the rest of the things in the room are gold. Pure gold. This is Jordan's paradise. The paradise he abandoned to go live with Isabella in the Cadens' residence as a live-in-son-in-law and turned out to become a slave.If only the Cadens were here they would have gotten an eye opener and seen that they don't even compare to Jordan's finger.BEEP! BEEP!Jordan's phone on top of the drawer beside the headlamp begins ringing."Mmm," Jordan groans hoarsely and without looking over or even opening his eyes, stretches his hand an
It's 7:30 p.m. An Uber pulls over neatly in front of Moonlit Bear Ristorante, and after paying the Uber driver, Jordan calmly alights and glances subtly at Moonlit Bear Ristorante before walking toward it.There is an air of luxury and sophistication oozing out of the restaurant in tides, and so many flashy cars are parked all around.Jordan is not surprised as this is just what he expected from a five-star restaurant. In fact, if he had gotten here and it had not been like this, he would have turned around and left because it would have meant the restaurant wasn't living up to its name.Surprisingly, Jordan only knows one side of the story as he had kept a low profile for such a long time and as such hasn't related with the other activities and businesses in the county for a while. Turns out Moonlit Bear Ristorante is not only a five-star restaurant as it had over the years progressed to become one of the best restaurants in the county!And as such only the wealthy can dine here. The
"Miss Daisy!" The doorman's jaw drops and he unconsciously takes two steps backward, suddenly looking so flustered. This is Daisy, the prestigious Princess of the Kane family, who wouldn't? Her presence alone is enough to make anyone below her level flustered, both rich and poor, let alone him, a mere doorman, who has nothing to his name. And to top it off, she appears so furious as if she just wants nothing more than to rip him into dreads. But he has not wronged her in any way, so why is she so furious at... Wait, his pupils dilate. She said she doesn't know if this punk would blame him or not, but she would, does that mean she knows him? But he is just a pauper while she is the Princess of the Kane family, how can she be entangled with him, a mere pauper? "Jordan is my date for the night, how could you riffraff treat him impolitely, have you gone nuts?!" Daisy roars, snapping him out of his reverie, dropping yet another bomb. "What?" The doorman balks, his jaw almost drop
Jordan stares at them for a little more while and stares away, diving back into his food. After eating for a little more while, he gently drops his cutlery, wipes his mouth and hands with the serviette on the table before him, tosses it away, and stands."I need to make use of the restroom. I won't be long," he looks at Daisy who is staring at him quizzically and says cooly."Alright," Daisy retorts and picks up a glass of wine, sensually taking a sip. "Don't be long as you said. I'll be waiting."Jordan nods with a smile and steps out, locating the male restroom and heading in. In just a few minutes, he is done and out, setting his pants in place and preparing to head back to Daisy, who must be waiting.But at this moment, his eyes catch sight of one of the men that came with Henry and Isabella abruptly stopping a waiter carrying a tray containing two glasses of wine."Thank you for bringing it this far, I'll take it up from here and make sure it gets to Henry and Isabella," the man
"Thank you for the thoughtful gesture, Mr. Quentin," Isabella says with a half-smile before Henry, who is grinning from ear to ear owing to Jordan's impending tragedy, can say anything. "But for some reasons best known to me, I don't want Jordan to be punished by the cops." She sighs despondently and turns to Henry, saying softly, "I'm sorry, but I have to leave now. I'm exhausted." The grin on Henry's face fades away and his eyes squint darkly. He had assumed after everything was resolved, he would have a chance with Isabella and could still go ahead to drug her one way or another and have his way with her. Sleeping with her is like an ache. His blood rushes at the mere thought of his dick buried deep inside her pussy and stretching her pussy walls. But once again, his plan has failed. He so much feels like punching holes through walls, but remembering he still needs to pretend to be the perfect gentleman to Isabella, he pulls himself together and clears his throat, "Quentin,"
"Are you so useless that you can't even handle a mere pauper and have to run to me for help? Do I have to spoon-feed you through everything? Why then am I paying you as my manager? If you can't even handle a mere pauper, then of what use are you to me?!" The man from the other end of the line roars, his voice so overbearing.Quentin breaks out in a cold sweat, his body shuddering hysterically and his back prickling. "No, boss, it's not like that!" He cries out, exasperated. "This particular pauper seems to have somewhat supernatural power!" He pauses and nibbles on his lower lip. "I know you might think me crazy for saying that, but it is nothing but the truth! With just a casual wave of his hand, five of the restaurant's guardians lost their fighting abilities! "Please listen carefully to the background, boss and you will hear their cries! These are guardians you hired yourself! And that is not all, he defeated an additional eight! Yes, I'm serious about him defeating thirteen guard
