"What a lavish party, Madame Amelia, you must have organized it carefully."Violet approached Amelia Huppert, Magnun Huppert's wife. As the hostess of the house, the woman was of course talking to the top socialite ladies and Violet's opportunity to if she had come to seek attention."Violet... I didn't expect you to come to this party." Seeing Violet, Amelia immediately gave her a warm welcome. She was very kind to Violet, considering Violet's mother, Sahara, was a schoolmate of hers. "I heard you were in Manchester for your studies.""I've been back to see my first brother's wedding, ma'am, and I don't plan to go back to Manchester anytime soon."" Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend young master Verlaine's wedding.""But we are still reunited at this lavish party of yours, ma'am. As always, you never disappoint when it comes to hosting a party."Amelia smiled blushingly. "Don't praise me too much, Violet"Violet's eyes flicked to the girl beside Amelia. "Isn't she your daughte
Violet looked at Veneza and Vivian who came up to her in a cynical manner, looking at Violet slightly amused at what she was doing."You're getting along with that outcast faster than I expected, huh? I'm curious as to why you've become so close like this," Vivian said, leaning against the table where Violet and the ladies sat chatting. "What did he offer you to be his friend, Violet?""Is it a weird thing to have a good relationship with your own brother?""Ouh, my dear, you're astounding me," Vivian scoffed, "since when did you think that you and Victor were siblings? I thought you thought of him as a stranger too since you never moved when he fell and needed your help as his sister."Violet said nothing, trying to be calm and give a good answer."Maybe it's because I was a child that I was so indecisive about what to do with him. But now I'm mature enough to think and decide what I should do about Victor," Violet said wisely, but Vivian and Veneza didn't seem to understand her word
"Victor!""Victor!""Victor, wait!"Violet repeatedly called out to Victor, and he only stopped when she held up his arm."What happened? How did you suddenly fall on the dance floor like that?" Violet asked. She wanted to ask that question, but Victor was walking fast as if to avoid her.Victor turned around and looked at Violet. "You're also asking why I fell down? I'm also wondering why I fell so embarrassingly while I was consciously walking towards you."Violet frowned, confused. "Did something happen? Did you trip over something?" Violet suddenly shut up and realized. "Did Damian Huppert make you fall?" Violet asked uncertainly, but Victor's reaction gave her the answer."I'm going home early. Whether you want to follow me or not is up to you."Violet moved quickly to get in the car, ignoring the party or the friends waiting for her inside. She was going back with Victor.On the ride, Victor was silent, his face still strained like he'd just seen something shocking."Hey, Vic, w
Knock knock ....Someone knocked on the door of the study while Antonio was deep in thought. He was facing the large window in his room, but it was poorly lit.Even so, Antonio could still clearly see Violet entering after knocking on his door.Antonio gave no reaction, and went back to looking out the window from his chair."Dad...," Violet called, "I heard that you missed tea time with mom, so I made you some herbal tea. Are you okay?"Antonio turned his head and looked at Violet who was still standing at the door, carrying a cup of tea. He sighed and turned his face away."You're home, Violet. Are you tired of living alone in your apartment?" asked Antonio, not answering Violet's question. "I shouldn't be. You asked to live in an elite neighborhood, there should be no complaints to bring you home."Violet didn't answer. She hesitated to say that the reason she was going home was because she didn't want to be around Victor, who had put her in a bad mood because of their argument tha
Victor was surprised when someone pulled him up suddenly, but he was surprised a second time when he found out that it was Violet."Violet?" Victor called out to her with a confused face. "What are you doing here?""I should be the one asking that! What are you doing here? Do you intend to meet Vania?"Victor didn't answer. He was silent and averted his gaze like a man caught in the act. Violet said again. "I expected that you would see Vania again after that night. It's a good thing I came here anyway to make sure."Hearing that, Victor frowned. "You come to this place... every day?"Violet replied. "Of course I do. I have to make sure you don't cross your limits."Victor was silent. He was quite dumbfounded by Violet's words, and how she was trying to make sure that Victor didn't see Vania again."What's going on? You said yourself that Vania was the best candidate you had in mind to be part of my company, I came here to make sure I got Vania as my member. But what happened? You're
Damian paused, stopping to rub Vania's wounds when he heard her begging to be released.He looked at Vania slowly, but it only made her more frightened."You don't want to stay with me? You don't love me anymore, Vania?" Damian asked, making Vania panic and fear."No, I don't. I love you, Damian, I love you very much. But please, don't treat me like this. Please let me get out of this place and live my life freely like before."Damian didn't respond, but his face was still tense as if he was afraid Vania no longer loved him."I want my free life back. You also know that the company is looking for me, right? I can't ignore my work any longer, Damian." Damian still didn't react, making Vania even more afraid that her request would be rejected. "I promise I won't disobey your orders."When she said that, Damian turned his head and looked at her."I promise I won't betray you. I will not have relations with other men. I will only be loyal to you, I will only love you, Damian. Please."Van
Victor glanced at the man who was secretly watching Vania. It looked like he was the one Damian Huppert had told to spy on his own girlfriend."This is getting interesting." Victor sighed and stood up straight, trying not to show that he had come to make sure about Vania and Damian's relationship. "How are you, Vania?" Victor asked."You can see it yourself. I'm perfectly fine," Vania said, coldly dismissing Victor's visit to her. "What are you doing here? If it's to talk to me, then I'd say I don't have time to talk to you. I have a lot of work to do.""Of course, it's a lot, it must be the work that's piling up even more since you ignored them for five days, right?"Vania was surprised for a moment, then she looked at Victor sharply. "How did you know that? Did you dig up anything about me?""Of course, Vania, I planned to see you. How could I not find out where you were first. And it was quite a surprise that you didn't come to work for five days straight." Vania averted her gaze,
Dylan Rall sat in the car with a slight nervousness, looking at the tall building across the street. He looked up at Victor in the driver's seat with a worried look on his face."Hey, Vic, are you sure we can do this?" asked Dylan, looking unsure of Victor's plan.Victor replied. "I'm sure because you're with me.""Why are you sure to jump into a deep hole just because I'm with you? We could be arrested for kidnapping, Vic!""We're going to do a kidnapping, but not for something bad."Dylan was silent, confused by Victor's answer.Victor who realized that, just turned around and said, "You don't have to worry, I'll take responsibility and make sure you're okay. You just need to help me carry her. Do you remember what she looks like?"Dylan looked back at the photo of the woman Victor had given him and answered in a doubtful tone. "Yes, I already remember her.""That's good. In five minutes she'll be out for lunch. She doesn't like the menu at her office café and prefers to eat at the
