“Then tell me, where am I supposed to sleep with Nora?”

“This is our first night as husband and wife, and the first time Nora is staying here. Do you think it’s right to leave my new wife without a room?”

Biella merely looked at Darren with a blank expression, like a cat unbothered by a small dog’s barking.

Slowly, she shifted her gaze to Nora, who looked awkward and confused, then spoke in a calm yet cutting tone. “Aren’t there plenty of hotels in Venua?”

“You and Nora can pick one and stay there tonight.”

“As newlyweds, wouldn’t it be better for you to enjoy your first night somewhere more... private?”

Darren was taken aback by her statement.

Before he could interject, Biella continued in an even more relaxed tone—though clearly laced with mockery.

“Besides, you wouldn’t want the entire house to hear... your moans, would you?”

“Sounds like that can be quite disruptive in the middle of the night, especially for the other residents.”

“So really, I’m just making a thoughtful

    Zander stared directly at Hammo and Darren, his eyes cold and piercing."See... it was Biella who asked me to stay here for the night."Hammo clenched his fists, clearly displeased by the statement, while Darren simply let out a quiet scoff, glaring at Biella with undisguised hatred.However, Biella remained silent, her face calm, seemingly unaffected by the tension that had begun to engulf the room.Zander continued in a low voice, "I’m here to protect her.""I’ll make sure no one dares to harm her."His gaze swept across the room, though his focus remained fixed on Hammo and Darren.His words sounded like a warning, a veiled threat.Hammo held his breath, while Darren felt his anger boiling over.But before either of them could respond, Madam Nousa spoke to Zander."You don’t need to protect her," she said in a voice that sounded calm, though tinged with slight confusion."This is her home, and we are her family. How could her own family harm her?"Biella raised an eyebrow briefly b

    The night grew deeper.Biella was already lying on the bed, her eyes fixed on the ceiling as her thoughts began to drift. Tonight felt different.For the first time in the past two years, she was back in this mansion.In the corner of the room, Zander sat on the sofa, a laptop open on his lap.He glanced briefly at Biella, ensuring she was okay."Go to sleep," he said in a low but warm voice. "I’ll sleep later."Biella looked at Zander."Earlier... Darren said you were a former war commander," she said softly."Is that true?"Zander looked at Biella, his gaze deep yet calm."Yes, it’s true," he replied briefly.Biella exhaled slowly.Although she couldn’t recall much about her past, she could sense that Zander’s presence was different from that of an ordinary person.The way he spoke, the way he carried himself—everything about him showed that Zander had experience dealing with difficult situations.She turned toward Zander, looking at him sincerely."Thank you..." she murmured."Tha

    Hammo didn’t answer right away. His face turned pale for a moment.What if Biella joined the talk show?She would surely reveal everything she had endured over the past two years, destroying her father’s political career in an instant.That was the thought running through Hammo’s mind.Biella gave a faint smile, but behind it was a sharp sarcasm."Oh, no problem," she said before anyone could open their mouth."I’ll step into the frame for a moment. Isn’t this a great opportunity?"She looked straight at her father."The day of my return after two years of disappearance would be an extraordinary headline. I’m sure this talk show will immediately make the front page."Hammo looked panicked, his face betraying the tension he was desperately trying to hide.Darren glared at Biella with hatred, his hands clenched tightly at his sides.But before the situation could escalate further, Madam Nousa smiled and spoke in a warm tone."Of course, my love Biella.""You’re absolutely right—that wou

    Biella gazed at the host with a faint, enigmatic smile. Her sharp eyes scanned the host's face, which appeared awkward, waiting for an answer to the question he had posed earlier. However, instead of answering, Biella calmly yet meaningfully said, "Let time reveal everything." Her response instantly heightened the tension in the room. The host, who had previously exuded confidence, now seemed to struggle to hide his curiosity. Meanwhile, the crew whispered among themselves, trying to speculate on what had transpired during Biella's two-year absence. In the digital realm, comments from viewers flooded the live broadcast, most of them questioning the meaning behind Biella's mysterious statement. Hammo let out a sigh of relief, though he still did not feel entirely at ease. He eyed his daughter warily, fearing she might say something even bolder. Yet what followed was even more surprising.

    In Aussa Country, a small nation renowned for its wine production, Voss arrived at a luxurious mansion towering in the middle of vast vineyards. Along with his five subordinates, Voss walked confidently toward the mansion's grand doors, guarded by tall men in sharp black suits with concealed weapons. This mansion belonged to Avoja Hitto, a legendary figure in the narcotics trade for over two decades. Avoja's immense wealth had made him the richest man in Aussa. Beyond that, he was known as the mastermind behind numerous illicit operations that had long thrived under the government's nose. Voss entered Avoja's private chamber alone, while his subordinates stayed outside, keeping a vigilant watch for any suspicious activity. The room was filled with the aroma of expensive wine and premium cigars. Avoja sat in his opulent chair adorned with golden carvings, holding a glass of wine, while two scantily clad women hurriedly left the room upon his command. "Voss," Avoja's

    Biella sat in the CEO’s chair, her head lowered, her hands trembling as she read report after report filled with complaints from long-time employees of Xanta Corporation. Tears welled up in her eyes, eventually falling one by one. She couldn’t begin to imagine what her employees had endured over the past two years. Before she disappeared, the company had been running smoothly. Employees received fair benefits, opportunities for promotion were wide open, and the work environment was comfortable. But now, everything had been destroyed in the hands of Darren and Hammo. Zander, standing nearby, noticed Biella’s shoulders shaking. He knew how devastated she felt. Without a second thought, Biella stood up and threw herself into Zander’s arms. Her sobs broke against his shoulder, shaking her small, fragile body. Zander could feel Biella’s pain. His hand lifted, gently stroking her back. His anger toward Darren and Hammo burned even stronger. How could they treat this company so cruelly,

  • 0071-At the Xanta Company

    Madam Nousa stared sharply at Nora, trying to find a way to change her mind. However, Nora did not show the slightest hesitation. She stood tall, arms crossed over her chest, her eyes fixed straight on Darren, who remained silent in shock. "I've made my decision," Nora said, her voice cold and unwavering. "There’s nothing left to expect from this marriage." "Our agreement clearly stated that this marriage should be mutually beneficial. But look at your situation now, Darren. Your father failed to become governor. You're no longer the head of the Xanta family business. So tell me, what do I gain from this anymore?" Darren remained silent, his face pale and expression blank. From the beginning, he knew this marriage was nothing more than a business arrangement, but hearing Nora say it so bluntly still pierced deep. Madam Nousa glanced at her son, hoping for a reaction, but Darren simply lowered his head, as if accepting this bitter reality without resistance. "My father was suppos

    A few days later, the day of the Venua governor election arrived. However, the tense political atmosphere had now shifted into a major scandal. The Xanta family’s name was once again the subject of heated discussions in the media and among the elite after shocking news about Hammo’s condition spread widely. Hammo was still lying weak in the hospital, his body paralyzed, unable to speak or move much. He was officially disqualified from the gubernatorial race. However, it was not just his physical condition that became the talk of the town—it was the reason behind his downfall. No one knew where it started, but rumors spread that Hammo had suffered severe shock after hearing the news of his same-sex lover, Voss’s, death. Darren, now the central figure of the Xanta family, felt the need to act immediately. Standing before dozens of reporters at an impromptu press conference, he firmly clarified that the rumors were untrue. "My father is not paralyzed because of the news circu

  • 0069-Hammo Fainted!

    Hammo snatched the tablet from his informant's hand with a rough motion. His sharp eyes scanned the screen, but slowly, his expression changed. His pupils widened, his mouth parted slightly, and the confidence that usually radiated from his face was now replaced by a deathly pale complexion. His body stiffened instantly. His fingers, gripping the tablet tightly, began to tremble. Across the table, Darren noticed the drastic change in his father's expression. "What happened?" The informant swallowed hard before leaning in and whispering once more into Hammo’s ear, "Mr. Voss is dead, Boss… His head was delivered to the Avoja mansion as a warning." It was as if the world had stopped spinning! The fine porcelain plates and silverware on the dining table became nothing more than silent background noise. Hammo opened his mouth, but no words came out. He tried to breathe, but his chest felt tight. Voss… dead? Impossible! It couldn’t be! "How… how did he die?" Hammo’s voice trem

  • 0068-Sir, This is Urgent!

    That morning, sunlight streamed through the large dining room windows of the Xanta family estate, illuminating a table filled with luxurious dishes.Zander sat calmly in one of the chairs, enjoying his breakfast without haste. Beside him, Biella, as elegant as ever, spread chocolate truffle jam on her toasted brioche, a delicacy favored by aristocrats.The silence in the room was not a comfortable one. Hammo stared at Zander with a cold, questioning expression. On the other side of the table, Darren also watched his father, seeking reassurance. Wasn’t Zander supposed to be dead? Hadn’t Voss guaranteed that Zander would be dragged to Avoja’s mansion and executed? Why was this man still sitting here so casually, as if nothing had happened?Hammo finally broke the silence, his voice sharp and filled with restrained anger. "How dare you come back to this house? Even stay the night? Do you think you own this place?"Zander set down his coffee cup with a composed movement and met Hamm

  • 0067-Recall About 3 Years Ago

    That night, at the luxurious Avoja mansion. In front of the towering gate, heavily guarded, Gamin stood tall, carrying a wooden box that felt heavier in his hands with each passing moment. His breath was steady, his eyes fixed straight ahead as a guard approached. "I have a message for Mr. Avoja," Gamin said, his voice calm yet firm. Without much hesitation, the guard opened the gate, allowing Gamin to step inside the grand mansion, dimly illuminated by soft lighting. Inside, Avoja was already seated in his chair, his sharp eyes scrutinizing Gamin’s every move as the man approached. With steady hands, Gamin placed the wooden box on the table before Avoja. In one swift, practiced motion, he opened the lid—revealing Voss’s severed head, frozen in death. The dried blood on his neck still bore the mark of a clean separation, a sign of an execution carried out without hesitation. Avoja showed no sign of shock. His gaze lingered on Voss’s head before shifting to Gamin. A heav

    Footsteps echoed from behind. The door to the room swung open again, and three figures entered quickly. Jacky, along with two senior members of Rhett Academy, stepped inside. Their eyes immediately fell on Kai, who was still lying weakly on the floor, bound with coarse ropes. “Young Master,” Jacky said respectfully, casting a brief glance at Zander before turning his attention to Kai. “We’ll take him out for treatment.” Zander gave a slight nod, granting permission without uttering a word. The two senior members of Rhett Academy moved toward Kai, untied the ropes around his body, carefully lifted him, and carried him out. The room fell silent, with only the sound of heavy breathing and the pounding heartbeats of those kneeling before Zander echoing in the air. Zander’s gaze, as cold as ice, pierced through Gamin and Voss. He stood tall, entirely unfazed by the metallic scent of blood that saturated the atmosphere. Without much preamble, Zander spoke. His voice was low, almo

  • 0065-He is Mr. Death

    Voss held back the rage that was already blazing within him. His eyes glared at Gamin with disbelief, while his voice rang out, high-pitched and full of anger. “Gamin, what is this?! Have you lost your mind?” Voss shouted, his tone dripping with disgust. “You're actually bowing to... a YOUNG PUNK like him?!” Voss jabbed his chin in Zander's direction, his breathing heavy. Gamin furrowed his brows, his fear-filled eyes now sharpening into a glare. He strode quickly toward Voss and grabbed his collar roughly. “Listen! I know you think you’re smarter than everyone here, but this is your final warning!” Voss raised his chin defiantly. “I won’t submit, Gamin! I won’t kneel to a kid like him.” “Avoja is my boss, not Zander, and I’d rather die than give up!” Gamin’s hand flew swiftly, delivering a hard slap that echoed through the room. SLAP! Voss’s head snapped to the side. A red handprint instantly blossomed on his cheek. Before he could say a word, another slap struck the othe

  • 0064-Forgive Me...Mr. Death

    Gamin let out a low chuckle, his deep voice echoing through the room. “You’re too loyal to a man who doesn’t even care about your life.” He stepped closer to Kai, his cold eyes locked onto him. “But that doesn’t matter. In the end, I will drag Zander’s body before Avoja, whether you help me or not.” Gamin glanced at Voss, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. In Gamin’s mind, he could already envision the rewards that awaited him once this mission was completed. Avoja had promised him a fortune beyond imagination: a 10-hectare cannabis plantation ready to generate millions, and two sacks of cash. For Gamin, it wasn’t just about wealth—it was a ticket to a limitless life. “Just imagine,” Gamin muttered to himself. “A relaxed life without having to fight anymore, with that plantation making money every day. And those sacks of cash…” He chuckled. “One day's work, and I'll be a billionaire!” Voss, standing beside him, only smiled. Voss thought that without much effort
