That night, after putting Julie to sleep, Justin gently walked out of the room, carefully closing the door so as not to wake her. He stood in the hallway for a moment, listening to Julie's steady breathing through the door. A light smile flashed across his lips, he felt peace in his heart knowing his daughter was sleeping soundly.Justin walked away, the dim light from the hallway light illuminating his tired face. When he went to the dining room, he saw Monica cleaning the table. She stood there, still looking slim and resilient, the light shining on her soft hair, that scene was truly peaceful.Monica looked up to see Justin, she smiled gently. "You come out here, Justin," she said, her voice warm and concerned. “I have prepared medicine and bandages for you. Let me apply medicine to your wounds."Justin nodded, feeling warm at Monica's concern. He walked over and sat down on the chair while Monica quickly cleaned up the dining table and prepared the necessary items. On the table ar
Leona sat in the cockpit, her eyes attentively observing the parameters on the control panel. Although everything seemed stable again, his gut feeling told him that something was not right. “How about we check again,” he said, his voice turning serious.Caesar nodded in agreement, and the two began checking the equipment and systems above and below. They work meticulously and carefully, not missing any detail. Everything is stable, no signs of anything unusual. But Leona still couldn't shake the feeling of insecurity in her heart.While Caesar bent down to check the fuel system, he suddenly heard an unusually loud engine noise. The engine sounds strong and intense, as if there is some problem. At the same time, the speed of the plane suddenly decreased significantly.Caesar looked up, his eyes looking worriedly at the control panel. "Leona, something's wrong," he said, his voice tense. "The engine sound is not normal, the noise is louder and the speed has decreased suddenly."Leona tr
Caesar, a top security expert, couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He checked and rechecked the plane’s security system, but could not deny the terrible truth. “Our security system has been invaded,” Caesar said, his voice filled with tension. “The measuring devices were jammed, and the positioning data was completely wrong. I don’t know where we are right now!”Justin stood next to Caesar, his face expressionless, but his heart was as worried as an ant was stinging. This is clearly no coincidence. The aircraft’s security system was originally designed to withstand the most complex cyber attacks, but now, everything has been invaded.In his heart, Justin clearly knew the perpetrator of this attack. The King, the powerful man behind everything, certainly did not want him to leave Mozzafiato. This confinement is not his protection, but this must be a warning. Justin had witnessed the King’s cruelty many times and understood his cunning.“The King,” Justin whispered, his voice filled wi
Justin stood in front of the plane's window, his eyes fixed on the unknown space outside. The faint light from inside the plane shone on his face, creating deep shadows on his tense features. He tried to concentrate, but his mind was pulled back to worried thoughts about the current situation.The night sky was dark, there was no starlight to illuminate it. The plane glided through dense clouds, layers of white clouds like soft silk strips, but obscured the view below. Under the weak light of the plane, the clouds looked like giant monsters entwining them, further increasing their insecurity.Suddenly, a gap appeared between the clouds. Justin looked through that gap, and his heart sank. Below, a vast sea surface appeared, the waves sparkling with dim light under the moonlight obscured by clouds. The sea is as black as a bottomless abyss, cold and full of danger.Leona and Monica, attracted by Justin's staring eyes, also went to the window and looked down. When they saw the scene belo
Justin stood in the middle of the cockpit, filled with resentment. The King had carefully calculated, not leaving any retreat for them. Every backup plan was blocked, every possibility of escape was sealed.“He really wants us to give up…” Justin thought. “This is not just a power play, but also a simple message that he will not spare those who dare to oppose him.”Suddenly, the plane shook violently, causing everything in the cabin to wobble. Justin lost his balance and had to hold on to the chair to keep from falling. The engine roared, and the plane lost altitude rapidly.“We’re falling!” Caesar shouted from the cockpit, trying to keep the plane steady.Justin felt his heart pounding. Time is running out. They must act immediately if they want any chance of survival.Justin hurriedly shouted to those around him: “Leona, go check to see how many emergency parachutes, life jackets and lifeboats we have left.”Leona quickly ran to check. A moment later, he returned, his face full of w
Justin Devereaux, the only son of the King, was the head of the Dawn Council. He was renowned as a brilliant warrior, always victorious in battle. Under his leadership, the Dawn Council had become a formidable force, not only militarily but also economically and politically. Everyone respected and trusted Justin’s talents and vision.From a young age, Justin’s parents rigorously trained him to be a worthy heir. He was fluent in several languages, mastered various martial arts, and had a natural ability to lead. Too many, Justin seemed to have everything—a powerful position, fame, and respect.Yet, deep inside, Justin always felt an emptiness. Despite having everything others desired, he felt that something crucial was missing from his life. His outward perfection couldn’t hide the loneliness and confusion within him.Many nights, as he looked in the mirror, Justin questioned the true meaning of his life. He had achieved many successes, but did they truly make him happy? His life seeme
Mina kept a smile on her face, but her eyes had become colder. “Mr. Justin, this is how many people seek pleasure and satisfaction. If you don’t like it, you can leave. But remember, Governor Indochine arranged this for you. He wants you to relax and enjoy.”Justin felt a surge of anger rising within him. He couldn’t believe that someone like Governor Indochine would support such a perverse form of entertainment. He looked at the young girls on the other side of the glass, feeling pity for them.“No, I can’t accept this,” Justin said, his voice full of determination. “I will not take part in this sick game.”---Mina stood on the other side of the table, her voice remaining calm and rational, but her eyes seemed evasive.“Normally, female guests would view the profiles of male guests first, and then, if they match, they would meet in a private room. You are the exception, Justin. You understand that this is a different rule applied only to you.”“Do you think I’m a fool? You’re degrad
On the way to the Vincom restaurant, Justin sat silently in the car, his gaze distant through the window. His heart couldn’t stop thinking about Julie, a strange, unnamed pain flickering through him. This was the first time he felt such a sense of despair upon seeing a stranger. The features of that girl kept appearing in his mind, yet he couldn’t remember who she was. Clearly, at some place, at some moment, perhaps long ago, they had been very important to each other.Justin shook his head, trying to push thoughts of Julie out of his mind. “Impossible,” he muttered to himself. “How could I have feelings for a girl young enough to be my daughter?”He knew that this feeling was misplaced and irrational. Julie was just a young girl, while he was a grown man with many responsibilities. Justin couldn’t let these sudden emotions influence his decisions.However, he soon realized that this was not a kind of love, but something more profound and sacred, like a blood bond. He felt a special c
