2024-12-26 15:00:43Meanwhile, Governor Darrus, Seraphina, and Dominic returned to the Hayes family residence.
The Lieutenant Governor, Avo, with his arrogant demeanor, had ruined the welcome dinner for Dominic, turning what should have been a warm occasion into a tense one.
Nevertheless, a spirit of optimism remained among them.
They were confident that Dominic would successfully take control of Morow State.
Their plans were solid, alliances firmly established, leaving no room for Max to turn the tables.
Max had already lost, and Dominic’s vision as the new leader of Morow State was becoming more tangible with each passing moment.
Darrus sat relaxed in the spacious living room.
Thoughts of the future began to fill his mind.
He felt proud of how his family had forged strong ties with Dominic’s influential family in the capital.
With these connections, Darrus envisioned a bright future ahead-opportunities for promotion, greater wealth, and an elevated social status.
He even imagined one day moving to the capital to further his promising political career.
All of it felt so close, just a few steps away.
Meanwhile, Dominic sat across the table, speaking confidently.
“It will only take me a year to manage Morow State better,” he declared, his eyes gleaming with ambition.
“The state’s GDP will soar to $30 trillion. I will bring about significant change.”
Dominic seemed as though he had meticulously planned everything.
Darrus felt assured that with Dominic in control, their future would proceed as planned, perhaps even faster than expected.
With a faint smile, Darrus responded.
“You’re absolutely right, Dominic,” he said, his voice filled with conviction.
“With your capabilities, I believe Morow State will develop much faster than anyone could imagine.”
Dominic turned to Darrus, his eyes bright with confidence.
“There’s no doubt about it. We’re here to support you, Dominic,” Darrus continued.
“Our families have long built a strong bond, and I’m confident that with the political power we’ve established together, we’ll dominate everything.”
“Morow State, the capital-everything will be under our control in no time.”
Seraphina, listening to the conversation, smiled contentedly, fully supporting her father’s words.
After their serious discussion about Morow State’s future, the atmosphere began to ease.
Darrus enjoyed a cup of tea while Seraphina and Dominic sat across from each other on the sofa, conversing in a more relaxed tone.
With a playful smile, Seraphina began to tease.
“Dominic,” she said softly.
"You know, I never let that lowlife Max kiss or fuck me," she added with a sly grin.
Dominic’s eyes lit up immediately, responding to her teasing with a gaze full of desire.
He chuckled lightly, a smug smile forming on his face.
“Of course. I knew he would never be worthy of you. No one compares to me.”
Seraphina laughed softly, enjoying her flirtation.
She knew exactly how to captivate Dominic and command his full attention.
“Of course. No one could ever compare to you,” she replied, looking at him with a gaze full of admiration.
Darrus, sitting quietly in a nearby chair, merely smiled.
His expression showed understanding, as if he was fully aware of what was unfolding between Seraphina and Dominic.
He didn’t want to interrupt them.
Instead, he felt relieved seeing their relationship develop.
Darrus knew that their feelings for each other would bring benefits to their family, and for him, that was more important than anything else.
“Perhaps I’ll head to my room.”
Darrus finally said, hinting it was time for him to leave and give them some space.
He stood up, leaving them with a knowing look, as if giving his blessing for their relationship to progress further.
Once Darrus was gone, the atmosphere in the room shifted.
It became more intimate!
Seraphina stood up, walking slowly toward Dominic with a mischievous gaze.
Without a word, Dominic pulled Seraphina into his arms, their bodies drawing closer.
Dominic’s hand gently stroked Seraphina’s hair, while Seraphina gazed at him with a passionate look.
“I want us to be closer, Dominic.”
She whispered, her voice filled with uncontrollable desire.
Seraphina took Dominic’s hand, leading him toward her luxurious private bathroom.
A large bathtub filled with warm, steaming water and overflowing bubbles awaited them, surrounded by aromatherapy candles exuding a gentle fragrance.
Of course, she had prepared all of this before.
As Dominic and Seraphina became increasingly lost in their intimacy, Dominic couldn’t resist mocking Max.
His face brimmed with arrogance, and his words flowed effortlessly.
“Imagine Max now, sitting in that prison cell,” he said with a light laugh.
“He must be wailing and crying, feeling so unfairly treated, while we’re having fun,” he continued.
Seraphina simply smiled, savoring every word Dominic uttered.
He carried on with even more confidence.
“Perhaps he’s still hoping, praying to get out, but that will never happen.”
However…
They had no idea that while they were caught up in their passion, Max’s situation in prison was completely different from what they imagined!

Aurora and Max stopped walking at the same time.The woman smiled first and gave a small wave. “Hi, Aurora. You are coming to this event too?”Aurora looked at her for a few seconds before finally recognizing her face. Tina. Her long hair fell neatly down her back, her face familiar even though they had never really talked. The man beside her was Jale, tall in posture, his gaze sharp but full of confidence.“Hi,” Aurora replied softly. “Yes.”Aurora fell silent for a moment, then nodded politely. She knew who they were. These two were her seniors at university. Their names were fairly well known, not only because of their musical skills, but also because they often appeared at official events. However, Aurora had never been close to them. She had almost never spoken to them directly. She only knew them from her friends’ stories.Because of that, their presence here and the way Tina greeted her made Aurora feel a little nervous.Aurora opened her mouth, wanting to explain. She felt sh

Max did not answer Aurora’s question right away about how he would make sure she still appeared tonight. He only stared straight ahead, his jaw tightening slightly, then said in a flat but firm tone, “There is no need to worry. Prepare your best appearance tonight. That is all you need to do.”That was all.There was no long explanation, no sweet promises, no strategy laid out. The words were simple, and even sounded too calm for a situation that had just shattered Aurora’s heart. Yet from the way Max said them, there was a confidence that was hard to explain.Aurora nodded slowly. She trusted her husband. Since the beginning of their marriage, Max had always kept his word. But that trust did not instantly erase the sadness settling in her chest. The pain of being looked down on, of being dismissed without warning, of being treated as if she had no worth, was still very real.They walked out of the building and sat on a long bench on the front terrace of Star Entertainment’s office.

Helen took a short breath, then formed a thin smile that did not reach her eyes.“I am sorry,” she said in a calm tone she forced, though the irritation was clear in her voice. “Is it really that important for you to know my boss’s name?”Max looked at her without blinking. “Yes, of course it is important,” he replied flatly. “What is wrong with wanting to know it?”Helen let out a soft chuckle, as if she had heard something amusing. “For what purpose?” she asked back. “Even if you know my boss’s name, your wife’s contract will still be terminated. That cannot be undone.”She tilted her head, looking Max up and down, her gaze full of judgment.“Besides, who do you think you are?” she continued sharply. “Do you have any influence? No, you do not, right?”Aurora stiffened. Those words felt like a slap aimed not only at Max, but at her as well. She could feel her chest tighten again, that sense of being small and helpless that she had been trying to hold back.But Max smiled instead. It

Helen’s firm steps suddenly stopped right in front of the door. Her hand was still gripping the handle, her back stiff, as if Max’s words had just held her body in place. “What are you talking about? Of course I am sure about this decision,” Helen said. “But you do not look sure,” Max said. Max could read the discomfort on Helen’s face. In truth, Max did not really care about this job itself. He was more than rich enough to support Aurora’s life without any problem. But what made Max angry was the fact that Aurora truly loved this career, and this agency had started to treat his wife badly. Aurora looked sad, and anyone who made his wife sad was not someone Max would ever let go. “How much?” Max’s voice was heard again, this time deeper and more pressing. “How much money did they pay you that you dared to act this unethically?” Helen did not turn around right away. Her shoulders rose and fell slightly, her breath held for a moment before she finally turned her body and lo

Two days after the incident at the park, Aurora woke up with a pounding feeling in her chest that she could not explain. That day was supposed to be a day she had been waiting for a long time. For the first time, she would attend a prestigious art performance in Vesula City, an event often called a golden gate for young artists.Her dress was neatly prepared, her shoes were placed beside the bed, and the official invitation from Star Entertainment was still tucked inside her small bag.Max stayed by her side since morning. He did not talk much. He only made sure Aurora ate breakfast and did not forget to bring all her things. On his face, the calm he always wore was still there, although his eyes sometimes scanned the surroundings with a caution that was almost invisible.The Star Entertainment building stood grandly in the middle of the city, its glass walls reflecting the pale sunlight of Vesula. As soon as they entered, Aurora immediately felt a strange atmosphere. There was no war

Jale stared at Gerald with a frown, clearly not satisfied with the earlier answer. “What do you mean he is not an ordinary man?” he asked. “Is he an official? Or a police officer?”Gerald slowly shook his head. “I am not sure,” he answered honestly. “He showed no identity at all. No card, no badge. But one thing is certain, he is very skilled in combat. Not just good at fighting. The way he moves, his reactions, and his calm attitude are not things someone can learn in a short time.”Jale let out a short laugh, full of disdain. “That is all?” he said while waving his hand. “If he is only good at fighting, that means nothing. He is not an official and not an influential person. So it does not matter to me if you failed to kill Aurora,” Jale continued.He took a relaxed sip of his drink. “I still have many other ways.”Those words made Tina even more uneasy. Her face turned pale, her fingers gripping the glass tightly. “Jale,” she said with a slightly trembling voice, “this is not abo
