Dylan waited anxiously outside the fence. As Victor had requested, he waited and would enter when the police arrived.

Everyone was already outside when the fire alarm went off, and Dylan really wanted to go in if only the police could arrive soon.

Before long, two police cars arrived. Dylan was very relieved and happy that he could go in as soon as the police approached him and went in with him.

He had to get to Victor and make sure he was out of the house.

"It's Victor!" he said, excited to see Victor outside. Excited, Dylan ran over to Victor and told him that his task was complete. Dylan managed to get the police to arrive on time.

"VIC-"

BANG!!!

But Dylan hadn't even finished saying Victor's name, and he witnessed his best friend being shot by a revolver with an eerie, echoing gunshot.

Dylan was dumbfounded, his eyes wide and unaware of what he was witnessing.

"VICTOR!!!"

Violet screamed hysterically, she ran through the crowd of people to get to Victor who was lying there with sm

    After the hug and the words, things got a little awkward between Violet and Victor.They've sat apart since a nurse arrived to check Victor's condition."Hey, are you going to stay put, or are you going home?" Victor asked after nearly 15 minutes of silence with Violet.Violet tried to act normal, but it was evident that she was feeling awkward. Did she regret her own decision to hug Victor?"Do you regret hugging me?""H-huh?"Victor looked at Violet with his calm, cold face. "Do you wish you could turn back the clock to avoid hugging me?""Why are you talking like that?""Your face looks like you want to talk like that."Violet bit her lower lip. It was true that she felt that her spontaneous reaction was embarrassing. Still, she had no regrets after hugging Victor out of sheer delight."I was just so happy that you weren't dead. I didn't think about my actions."Victor nodded. "Makes sense," he said. "So, how long have I been asleep?""Three days.""Wow. That's quite a long time."

    "VICTOR!!!"Victor was surprised to hear someone calling his name as the door opened loudly.He immediately turned around and saw Dylan and Vania coming in together.Victor tried to sit up, but Dylan immediately gave him a tight, suffocating hug, certainly painful for his injured hand."VICTOR...I THOUGHT I'D LOST YOU. WHY DID YOU DO THAT STUPID THING!?""Hey, control your power. Did you forget I just almost died?"Dylan, who had closed his eyes, now opened them and sat up quickly on the chair."You didn't die, did you? You got ready and put on that bulletproof vest before coming in!" said Dylan, sounding like he was protesting."Yes...but still running around in the middle of a fire while carrying that thick and heavy vest on your body felt like I'm about to dying. Especially when I jumped from the top floor of that house!"Victor then fell silent, not wanting to relive his bad experience.Then Vania spoke up. "How is your feeling now, Vic?" This time, Vania spoke in a soft tone to Vi

    Dylan looked dumbfounded by what Victor had said, but the blond-haired man seemed to take it all in stride."Why did you fire him?" Dylan asked."Because we couldn't work together any longer.""What was the reason?""Hm...Violet's relationship with my company has been one of reciprocity since the beginning. I helped her once and she wanted me to repay her by accepting her help as my assistant. She also said that she only needed to return my favor, and I considered it done. She doesn't have any obligation to repay me, so I also think it's better to end our working relationship."Dylan still didn't understand Victor's thoughts. "But isn't Miss Violet your assistant? She's helping you learn the business, right?""Yes. But I can find another assistant. You don't have to worry and do your part well. Okay?""But, Vic, we've already got Miss Vania and you just need to open the shop and run the company, why did you take Miss Violet out?""Dylan...," Victor called, making Dylan pause, "I can't

"Done? Why would I say it like that? It sounds like a lover's breakup."Violet said nothing and thought back to her conversation with Victor at the hospital.She also remembered that she was getting a little emotional just because Victor no longer wanted to hire her."Is getting fired always feel this painful?" asked Violet, lying on her side in contemplation. "Well, I'll get another job. I might just work for daddy's company after this, and this isn't even the first time I've been fired. In Manchester, I got fired many times while working part-time. But this is the first time I've been so emotional about losing my job. Tsk, what exactly made me cry?"Violet was

Everyone he invited came to congratulate him. And the customers who welcomed the opening of the store also looked satisfied with the Vyctrous collection that was a feast for the eyes."Mr. Victor?" Victor turned his head as someone tapped him on the shoulder. It was a woman, with two other female friends."Good morning." Victor remembered them as Violet's friends at the mayor's celebration party."Good morning. I'm Dyanne." One of them invited Victor to shake hands, followed by the other."I'm Karina.""I'm Ava.""We've come by special invitation from Vyctrous," Dyanne showed him the invitation card.Victor nodded in understanding.

    Victor stared intently at Antonio who stood in front of him. With a haughty and cold face, the man looked at Victor like Victor was cheap thing.Although Victor always felt annoyed and angry every time he saw his father's arrogant face, but this time Victor would not be cynical. He was already dressed too well to be ruined by vain emotions."It's an honor for this little shop to have a visit from a famous businessman like you, Mr. Antonio Leighton," Victor said, trying to smile and act normal."I didn't come to congratulate this place, but I came to congratulate my daughter." Antonio glanced at Vania who was standing near Victor, the woman immediately averted her gaze a little awkwardly. "Congratulations to her, for leaving one of the best companies in town to work in a place like this."Antonio didn't show his smile, but the look in his eyes seemed to have the power to suppress Victor. And Victor didn't like that."You must already know what Vania Leighton is like, she is one of the g

The new company definitely needed a lot of workers, and Violet was confident of getting in even though Victor would reject her if he knew what Violet was doing."He'll already have a director or a personnel manager, so he won't know that I'm among the hundreds of job applications that come into his company," Violet said, looking a little hesitant but then she reassured herself. "Victor would kick me right out if he found out I applied to his company. He didn't seem to want anything to do with me after that day, but I couldn't give up."Violet then remembered why she had signed up with Victor's company. She sighed and sat down on her bed."I thought I was so sure about helping you and going in there to do what you wanted," Violet said, looking uncomfortable, "but somehow I don't feel comfortable doing this. Do I feel bad for Victor?"Violet then remembered her moments with Vic

    Violet slowly opened the door to the room with the overpowering medical odor. She took a quick glance inside, and now had a perfect view of the figure sitting on the thickly blanketed bed as she glanced out the large glass window. Seemingly lost in thought, he seemed calm and unconcerned about his surroundings. Even when Violet pulled out a chair and took a comfortable spot to sit next to him, Victor remained passive. Violet glanced at her man with a quizzical look, as if she wanted to start a conversation. After five days of unconsciousness, Victor finally opened his eyes this morning. Violet rushed to him to see how he was doing, but it seemed that only his physical state had improved. Violet ventured to touch Victor's hand, and to her surprise, Victor flinched. Violet couldn't help but be surprised by the man's response. "Violet...," Victor said in a low voice, he looked up at Violet but those eyes seemed to be empty without a focal point. "You were here, I didn't realize,"

    Connor approached Emily, then looked at the little girl’s sleeping face while gently rubbing her slightly gaunt cheeks. “So... how did it go?” asked Connor, Jack flinched as he understood what the question meant. However, Jack chose to remain silent, making Connor smile because he suspected that his guess was correct. “Failed, yes...,” the old man said, smiling haughtily.“I won’t give up, Dad.” Jack said with conviction, making his father look down on him even more. “I’ll try until Emily gets her new heart.”“You’re pretty optimistic for a kid who just felt the pain of failure after not listening to his parents, Jack. Don’t you want to complain and complain to this father of yours?” Jack was silent, his jaw hardening as he held back his anger. He knew full well that all his father was doing now was mocking his failure, making Jack feel reminded of the pain when his high hopes ended in failure again.Indirectly, Connor seemed to be saying: "Expecting kindness from a monster like Victo

    After a few minutes spent cleaning up, Violet and Victor met back at the dining table for breakfast. As before, there weren’t many ingredients in Victor’s refrigerator. Violet used the ingredients she had on hand to make breakfast, and thankfully it didn’t turn out too badly.Victor doesn’t wait long and eats his share of breakfast. Violet stares at him intently, waiting for his reaction. But Victor just ate without saying anything. Even though he was eating well, Violet was still waiting for a comment from him. And when she didn’t get one, the girl chuckled. It made Victor stop eating and ask, “What’s wrong?”Violet looked at him with pouting lips. “You’re not going to compliment my cooking again this time?”“I already ate it.”“But at the very least, I want to hear your comet. You kept eating without saying anything.”“I already ate it, isn’t that clear evidence that I didn’t reject your food. At least the taste is still acceptable to the human tongue, hence why this human wants to

    Violet opened her eyes and frowned. Her blurred vision clearly felt unfamiliar with the place where she opened her eyes, but no sooner had she paused and remembered, than Violet remembered where she was. Because of this, she hurriedly turned her body around to find Victor sleeping next to her.This was the second time Violet had woken up looking at Victor’s face to start her day. But the first time, Violet hadn’t been this close. She and Victor were like two poles far apart, but now they were like twigs and leaves that were always attached.Violet moved closer, wanting to see the details of the man’s face more closely. As she stood still and looked at him, Violet realized that Victor was indeed as handsome as everyone said he was. All this time she had recognized it silently, covered in prestige and always denying it even to herself. But now, she didn’t hesitate to smile, amazed.Her mind, which had not been filled with anything, was now filled with Victor, Victor and Victor. Violet w

    Jack was silent for a moment, at a loss for an answer. “I-I did it because I had no other choice. I wanted a child so badly-““Well, I see,” Verlaine said, interrupting Jack’s unfinished speech, “the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree,” he said with a quiet murmur.Verlaine then cleared his throat loudly, as if signaling he was about to begin his important conversation with Connor and Jack tonight.Connor began with, “As you told me on the phone that you would tell me about the next plan tonight. Tell me.”Verlaine raised both eyebrows. “Ouh... you’re so impatient, Mr. Grayson,” he said in a joking tone. “Is it because it’s late, so you don’t want to make small talk any longer?”“I brought Jack so you can use him for your plans too,” Connor replied, changing the subject.Verlaine raised one eyebrow, realizing that Connor was really impatient for the plan he had. “Well... I’ll say it,” Verlaine said then, no longer wanting to mince words. “In a few days, there will be a party held by

    "Beautiful tuxedo," said the man with hazel eyes, to the short-haired woman standing in front of him. "When did you buy it?"Maria smiled broadly, pleased that the choice item she had bought for Verlaine had responded so well to the man. She rushed to her lover, sitting on Verlaine's lap intimately as she put her arms around his neck."I bought it a long time ago but since you've been so busy lately, it's been difficult for me to find the right time to give it to you," Maria said, explaining in more detail. Verlaine simply nodded and smiled, though his heart was still cold as ever. "Do you like it?" Maria's question drew Verlaine's gaze away from his gift.The man smiled sweetly, growing wider. "Of course," he replied, pecking her cheek gently.Maria was delighted. She then without hesitation kissed him briefly on the lips, showing her happiness. They looked at each other for a few seconds, until Maria spoke up again."Verlaine, what did you do during your vacation? That place yo

    That distracted Violet from the beautiful dresses before her. “Really? What is it?” “A wedding anniversary celebration.” “Ah, Mrs. Scarlett and her husband, huh?” said Violet, smiling, her eyes focused on the dresses again. “Your adoptive parents will be celebrating their wedding anniversary. It must be a happy day for them.” “We’re also allowed to be happy on their happy day.” Violet froze, frowning in confusion. “What do you mean?” she asked later. “Should we go to the dance?” asked Victor, causing Violet to turn her face away slowly. The girl stared at Victor, confirming her thoughts which were immediately confirmed by Victor’s next words. “Should we pick out the dresses now?” Violet, of course, would immediately smile widely. She nodded her head with twinkling eyes, looking very excited and happy. The two of them started their agenda; choosing a dress that would be used to attend the celebration party like Victor said. While her feet were busy moving to and fro, Violet’s l

    Later that day, they decided to go out. The romantic term is 'date'. Victor waited for Violet to get ready, and Violet waited for Victor to get ready. One thing in common was that as a result of the waiting time, they were mesmerized by each other's charms in their date-ready best. Violet smiled broadly, waiting for Victor to come out of the room and watching him from the dining table with her chin propped up. "Your dress sense isn't much different from the last time, but somehow it looks so luxurious and appropriate this time," Violet says, complimenting him. Victor smiled slightly and walked over. "Is it because I'm seeing it with love this time? You look absolutely marvelous." "I didn't know you were the type to compliment your partner," Victor said, taking Violet's hand to lead her out of the apartment. "Hm. I didn't know I was the type of person to do this to their partner either. You were my first partner, you know?" "Really?" "Yeah... I've only ever confessed my feelings,

    Meanwhile, Verlaine was now hurrying away to a place, which was none other than his private apartment. There, he would meet Maria who had just finished cooking a meal for herself. Maria had no idea that Verlaine had returned from his ‘vacation’ in Vermont, she only knew that he had extended his vacation on the pretext of falling in love with the vast and soothing expanse of grass.Hence, when she saw his presence at the technological door, she couldn’t help shouting his name. “VERLAINE...!” The woman ran at full speed, rushing to hug Verlaine tightly while her body was twisted like a romance scene in a movie.“Are you coming home today?” asked Maria as soon as Verlaine released her embrace. She was delighted to see Verlaine standing in front of her after they had not seen each other for almost a week.“Yes. I wanted to give you a surprise,” Verlaine replied as he kissed Maria’s neck, making her grimace occasionally in amusement. “You were surprised?”“I’m so surprised that I’m speech
