" Where is the god of war?" The man demanded immediately, stuffing his hands casually into his pocket. " I request to see him immediately." Hearing this, the soldiers raised their heads simultaneously and answered in a deep voice, " Sure, General." Then, one of the soldiers led him to the living room of the base house. At the same time, James had received a call from the intercom, about an import figure. He was dining with Emily for breakfast in the dining room, answering the call briefly, " As expected." The instant, the door was pushed open and the face of the familiar man could be seen at the entrance. The soldier who led the man stepped back, bowing, " Please." He gestured with his hands for the man to walk in, taking his leave afterward. " General LaGrine, what a pleasant visit," James teased, hooking his lips as he rose his seat. He approached the man who was Victor LaGrine, welcoming him enthusiastically. Victor LaGrine carried in heavy into the living ro
Anyways, he would like to set his eyes on Victor again, deciding to attend the party.Thus, Victor LaGrine, turned to him seriously, " You will need to attend the party. You might uncover more things. An old man like me should take a break from night parties." James agreed, his gaze moving to Emily who remained silent despite the conversation between him and Victor LaGrine. His eyes deepened, and there was a quick flash of frown on his face. " Emily?" He called her out, extending his hand to grasp hers. Emily was slow to react, not paying attention to James until the latter's hand tapped on her. Instantly, her body jerked, her eyes dilating as she shifted to James, blinking rapidly. For a second, she couldn't say anything, parting her lips and struggling for what to say. " Is there a problem?" Some seconds later, she spoke up, questioning James since he refused to stop gazing intently at her. " I should have ask you that," James threw back a question instead, unmoving. " What
Swiftly, she jumped from the Sofa, adjusting her outfit and dashed out of the room, not wanting to miss the chance of finding the unknown...Winter got outside the mansion, narrowing her eyes at the car that sped out of the mansion, which contained Jessica. Without wasting time, she put on a dark shade, walking fastly toward the gate. The moment she arrived outside the small gate, a passing cap was espied by her and instantly, she hailed. " Follow that car!" Winter pointed to Jessica's car that was almost out of sight as soon as she boarded the cap. It didn't take long before the cap started trailing after Jessica's car, making Winter's heart to race in anticipation. At the same time, in a familiar hospital, a man wearing a black tailored suit strode past the reception, heading towards a particular special ward. The guards standing outside the special ward, saw the man approaching and immediately straightened themselves. Politely, they bowed to him and one of them walked forw
‘’ Greetings to the great Tarlose, I am Theo.’’ The figure who just strode into the hospital, lowered his head slightly, paying respect to both Leonard and Victor as he introduced himself. ‘’ It is an honor to see you in person,’’ Theo uttered with a sincere tone, raising his head to gaze at the Tarlsose family. He composed himself, straightening his back without blinking unnecessarily, demonstrating how refined he was. From his composure, he demonstrated the uniqueness of belonging to a wealthy family but apart from that, there was nothing special at all. Victor was the first to react, glancing impolitely at Theo, who seemed familiar to him from his facial features but he could sense no aura of power from him. ‘’ You are what?’’ Leonard also looked down at Theo, completely not recognizing him. ‘’ Young man, what do you need and why are you here?’’ He demanded with an air of arrogance coating his expression. ‘’ Can’t you think this place is only reserved for significant peop
Leonard didn’t hesitate, agreeing, ‘’ Definitely. Theo is invited. During the party, we will all unite to crush James Donovan, just like he had crushed my son’s palms! Let give him a taste of his poison!’’Theo's eyes shone with satisfaction immediately after Leonard's words, grining with one corner of his thin lips. " This is a pleasure, Mr. Tarlose." He bowed again, respectfully, tugging his suit gently. " There is no need to thank us. All you have to do is behave and follow the orders. I am sure Wei Zhao would have inform you about the significant things you must be aware of. If that's the case, save it in your mind - we don't accommodate betrayers!"Victor didn't think twice when he cautioned Theo, dragging his right palm forward which he was already trying to get used to. " Be warned, all those who go against us are all in the pit of hell, rotten in pain and misery forever!" Leonard gave a nod as a sign of agreement to what his son said, adding, " You won't want to e
James Donovan sat on the couch, the gift box beside him, as he glanced at the clock for what felt like the hundredth time. He had prepared everything for their wedding anniversary. The dinner was ready, the table was set, and all that was missing was Emily. He picked up his phone to check for any messages, hoping she might have texted to say she was on her way.Just as he unlocked his phone, a new message notification popped up from an unknown number. Frowning, he opened it, and what he saw made his heart skip a beat.It was a photo—Emily, unmistakably, in the arms of another man. The two of them were standing outside a hotel, the man holding her close with a smug grin on his face. Emily's head was tilted toward him, her body language suggesting an intimacy that sent a cold wave of shock through James."What the hell…?" James whispered, his mind refusing to process what he was seeing. His breath caught in his throat, and for a moment, it felt like the world had stopped. "This has to
The helicopter landed smoothly, and before the rotors had even stopped spinning, a man in a sharp black suit stepped out, his expression grim. This was Kyle, James’s most trusted underling, a man who had served him loyally for years."Mr. Donovan," Kyle said, his voice steady despite the urgency of the situation. "We’ve located them. They’re at the Grandview Hotel, Room 1207."James nodded, his jaw clenched tight. "Then let’s go," he ordered, wasting no time. The two men climbed into the helicopter, and within moments, they were airborne again, the city lights below them blurring into streaks of gold and silver.The ride was silent, the only sound the rhythmic thrum of the helicopter blades. James’s mind raced, replaying the images and words from the video. He couldn’t believe this was happening. Emily, the woman he had loved and trusted, was in a hotel room with another man. A man who was trying to take her away from him, to violate everything they had built together.As the helico
James stood in the hotel room, his heart pounding, disbelief washing over him as he tried to process the situation. His wife, the woman he loved, had cheated on him.The shock of it left him frozen, unable to reconcile the reality with the life he thought they had.Before he could react, the man who had turned his world upside down stepped between them, a sneer on his face. “You can’t blame me for this, James,” the man said, his voice dripping with arrogance. “Your wife came to me willingly. She’s the one who seduced me. She wanted this.”James turned to his wife, his voice trembling with disbelief. “Is that true? Did you really…?” He couldn’t even finish the question, the words feeling like a knife in his throat.His wife’s eyes were red, filled with tears that threatened to spill over, but she didn’t look away. Slowly, she nodded, the movement slight but enough to break James’s heart completely. “Yes,” she whispered, her voice barely a breath.James felt his world crumble. He had
