A big hand landed right on Spade’s right cheek in a flash and he was shaking in slow motion.Spade stunned, unmoved for seconds, and it felt like the whole place halted completely.It was a hard blow slap, and Spade was sure of it. Because when he looked up at Gabriel’s face, he had an expression of someone who wanted to get him on the ground in one stroke of his palm.He was so shocked at what just happened. He, a Capo of the Harbor Mafia, was slapped on the cheek?He felt so humiliated that he could not even say anything and just stood still.“The children escaped?” Gabriel asked.When he said something, Spade could not listen carefully to the words. He was too lost within his thoughts. Just he had his eyes glaring at Gabriel.“Not only you lost the goods but my son got hurt.”Spade clenched his fists. It was his men’s fault that the children escaped from the warehouse. But he does not want to take the responsibility for Brethart’s injury.“Sir,” Spade spoke through his clenched t
“The beloved son is just lying down under a tree with his mouth open, waiting for an apple to fall down as the Mother shakes the tree vigorously. But when the fruit fell, someone ate it instead.”Alone in her office, Rose laughed.Just now, she heard the news about Black E-Commerce Company.As soon as Haiden managed it, they used the remaining funds to launch “Supreme.”Supreme is a loyalty program combining the powerful attraction of free shipping and the customer’s desire to get the products within two days. The result of this loyalty program?Analysts reported that the Black E-Commerce’s customers increased their purchase by 3% after joining the program.This translates into million dollars in additional revenue for Black E-Commerce, which means the company survived from falling down.Rose clutched her hands, and rested her chin at the back of her palms. Her twinkling eyes went as sharp as blades.“How amazing, Haiden,” she murmured.It does not show much, but Rose was very anxious
Xavier was always good at his work. He was punctual and hardworking. Even if he had to lower his pride and bow his head just to keep his job, he would do it. But the man in front of Bridgette is different. He’s impolite, he cursed a lot, very impatient and egoistic. It is Xavier’s opposite. However, there’s no doubt that his face belongs to Xavier. Bridgette wanted to believe that he only changed because he lost his memories. But there are many loopholes. ‘My husband does not have an allergy to peanuts. But last week, he suffered from eating one.’ On the back of her head, she suspected that this man wasn’t Xavier. But… she was so confused. Because if this is not Xavier, then where is he? He walked closer to her while scratching his nape. “Did you come here to see me get fired?” Bridgette sighed. This is not the first time he was kicked out of the job. “What is really wrong with you?” she asked. “All we need is to survive for a month. But you are always making trouble at work.
Lewelyn sat in front of the mirror with a huge beam.Her eyes curved like those of a cat and green like Peridot, while her red hair is as vivid as blood. Her skin was so white and smooth. Thanks to make-up, she succeeded in covering the bruises on her arms.This morning, her husband told her that they will have a visitor. It will be the foster son of the Black family, Haiden Black.Cesar said that she must make her pretty today.Hah!“Even if he does not say it, it’s natural that I would try my best to be pretty,” Lewelyn said while wearing a pair of Peridot earrings which matched her eye color.Lewelyn waited this long.She wanted to meet Haiden again and was glad that the chance would come.“I waited long enough to hear his answer. What kind of guy made me wait like this?” she complained but with a smile on her lips.When Lewelyn asked Haiden to be her secret lover, Haiden said that he would think about it. She understands that he’s busy at work. But felt so annoyed that he never
“The s-sales increased in just half a month?”Brethart clenched his hands into fury cannonballs and his eyes darkened, creating a pair of black holes. He imagined going to Gaston right now, punching his face and beating him into pulp, just like what he used to do before. But he could not do anything because he was recovering in the hospital.“Mom! This is not good!” he whined.“Shssh. Lower your voice, Brethart.”“Who cares?! This is our family’s hospital!”“Even so, we cannot ruin our image. I cannot fire another nurse this time.”“Mom,” he complained, holding his mom’s arm. “We should do something and stop Haiden. If the Black E-Commerce company survived under his management, that would make me look like a fool!”Louisa tapped her son’s hand and said, “Don’t worry too much, my dear son. Haiden won’t succeed. There's no way he would.”“W-Why? Did you make a plan already? Did you?!”“I made some just in case. But this is not the right time for me to move. We have a lot under our slee
‘Again.’ Cesar and Lewelyn didn’t hear what Xavier said at the end of his sentence. If they did, they might realize that they invited the wrong person to come to their house. “Welcome to the Fugito mansion, Mr. CEO,” Cesar greeted. Xavier only chuckled with a throaty voice, which made the women around blushed instantly. His glossy black hair, thick brows, and sharp eyes were enough to capture the hearts of those who laid their eyes upon him. And the red of his eyes? Although it was akin to that of the crimson blood, it couldn’t be anything but attractive. Unfortunately, despite his breathtaking appearance, the maids could not imagine having a try with him. It was because Madam Lewelyn already set her eyes on the handsome guest. And to add salt to the wound, Lewelyn is the prettiest woman in this place. “We prepared a lot for your visit, Sir,” Lewelyn said. Gian, Xavier and the other men looked at the Madam of Fugito. Her beauty was enough to coerce the people around into turn
[“Anyway, whatever the case, stay away from our boss. I heard that there are fights between the siblings' inheritance. That’s why our boss is always on edge.”] Xavier remembered what Frederick said to him during their last night working in the Fugito mansion. And how did Xavier answer to him? [ “What does it matter to people like us?” ] Back then, Xavier believed that normal people like them should not butt into the feud between conglomerates like Cesar. So, he did not pay attention that much to Frederick’s words, not until he became Haiden - the foster son of the Black family. ‘I can’t believe that the things I didn’t consider important will be useful now.’ When he remembered this, Xavier asked Gian to investigate Cesar’s family. After the old Chairman of Fugito died, there was a will that states that Larry Fugito, the second son of the family, should inherit the enterprises. Cesar was in fury because he is the oldest son and everyone expected that he would inherit it. As they
“Xavier.” Xavier heard her call his name. It was not a mistake. He held his breath for a short second as he stared at Lewelyn. ‘Did she recognize me?’ Xavier believed that there was no way Cesar or Lewelyn would recognize him as the driver they tried to kill because his face changed. So why?! Why did Lewelyn call him by that name? “Pfft…” Lewelyn laughed. “Your expression is funny,” she said, pointing at Xavier. “Right now, you look like someone who saw a ghost. Were you that flustered that I called another man’s name when I am with you? Did it annoy you that much?” Xavier blinked his eyes before he slowly breathed out. ‘She did not recognize me,’ he let out a sigh of relief with this thought. “At least, I saw a change in your reaction,” she said then cupped his cheeks. “But don’t worry. Right now, I will only focus on you.” Lewelyn looked at his lips and whispered, “On us.” She tilted her head and about to kiss him but Xavier moved away and asked, “That Xavier.” Lewelyn
