Rihana Barney looked tense and shuffled around her room as if looking for something precious for her. She was anxious and looked scared when she couldn't find it anywhere. "Shit, shit, shit... how did I lose that thing?" she said, deeply distraught and with bags under her eyes. She kept biting her fingernails in panic and anxiety, imagining the terrible things that would happen if she didn't find them soon. And her nightmare came true as the door to her room was violently opened by someone who immediately approached her and grabbed Rihana's jaw with his muscular hand. "Are you out of your mind? How could you make such a mess of our important business?""I'm sorry, Rodhe; I didn't mean to mess it up." "You made a mess of everything! Don't you know how much I've lost?" The man named Rodhe pushed Rihana to the ground, not caring how scared she was because of his anger, and he only cared about his panic after his business got messed up. "I asked you to deliver the order to our custom

VVictor threw the small plastic bag of cocaine powder on the table, where Vander, Vania and Violet could see it with wide-open, surprised faces."Cocaine?" asked Violet, almost incredulous, "and you found it in the pocket of the coat Dylan was wearing that night?""Yes, and it's a safe bet who put it in Dylan's coat.""Damn it. Did she want Dylan to use it too? Just because she was using it too? She spreading a harmful virus like that is such a trivial thing!""I don't know if she did it on purpose or not. I found that thing with the paper with the phone number on it." Dylan put down the paper with Rihana's phone number on it."This belonged to that woman?" asked Vania, and Victor nodded. "She was hoping Dylan would contact her again after giving her the forbidden thing? And... just because they spent the night together, she confidently gave Dylan the drugs. She's so confident, it's almost smug.""What do you expect from her, Vania?" Violet retorted. "I'm totally going to destroy her!

Xiel was busy with his computer screen and a dizzying amount of data, when Rodhe came in with a tired face and two cans of soft drinks for him."Thank you!" Xiel said as he received one, and Rodhe lay down on the sofa in the room."Are you happy living in a place like this?" asked Rodhe, drinking his drink while looking at the slightly worn ceiling of Xiel's apartment.Xiel asked, "What's wrong with this place?""The atmosphere is very tense. How long has it been since you changed the lights?"Xiel got up from his chair, walked over to the switch and clicked! The large lamp in the room lit up so brightly that it made Rodhe squint his eyes."What are you so chatty about today? Are you still mad at Rihana?" Xiel returned to his seat."How can I not be angry? She ruined my big deal with that prince from the Middle Eastern business empire. He paid a lot of money for my best cocaine, but now I'm seen as a fraud.""Then what if it is a real scam? They can't use the law to prosecute you anywa

"I don't think I told you my name or where I work before."Rihana was silent, frozen and for a moment she didn't know what to say.Although it was a bit nerve-wracking, but she had prepared the answers to such questions in advance."Or did I forget because I was drunk?""I did find out about you. Of course, I'm going to find out about the guy I like-"Once again, Dylan was stunned. "The guy you like?""I mean... that night was memorable, wasn't it?" asked Rihana, panicking slightly at Dylan's confused expression. "We seemed to like it. Did you feel impressed too?""Yeah... it was my first night, so of course it would impress me.""Oops! Really? That means you had your first night with a stranger woman. Geez, I'm really shameless. I'm sorry, Mr. Rall....""No, you don't need to apologize. As you said, there was no coercion whatsoever and... it seems that I did like that night." Rihana watched as Dylan shyly said it, and how he lowered his voice while averting his face. Rihana smiled and

"So she came to return your shirt?"Victor and Dylan finally met up to talk alone. They chose a café and booked a spot that was not close to the crowd so that they could have a relaxed conversation."Yes, but she said it was just a pep talk because her real purpose was something else.""Oh, I see...." Of course Victor understood. He had predicted Rihana would look for Dylan, because there was something she wanted to take back. "Then, did she talk about something else?""We just talked about things that weren't too serious, I guess you could say it was just getting to know each other-that's not much.""It seems like that woman is interested in you.""Huh? What?" Dylan looked nervous, as if he wanted to rush to interrupt even though Victor said it casually and seemingly spontaneously. "How is that possible? We just accidentally spent the night together and neither of us had any objections to what happened that night.""Yeah, not objecting isn't the same as her liking it? If she likes it
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 086 : Then, Face To Face
Victor approached Rihana who was on the deck of the ship alone. Carrying glasses of champagne and looking like they were about to have a casual conversation like two old friends reuniting, but the reality was different as Rihana's face broke into an awkward smile.Victor, on the other hand, seemed to be taking it easy."It's a very calm night and the sky is very clear," Victor said, making small talk.Rihana smiled nervously. "Yes, you're right," she said, "I'm glad you wanted to see me... Mr. Leighton.""Ah, don't call me by that name," Victor said, "my name is better if it's not followed by that clan name." He smiled casually, forcing Rihana to follow suit."And... is that so? Are you really happy that I came to see you?" Victor asked, he had intended to tease a little but it seemed Rihana answered truthfully."Yes... as we agreed on the phone the other day.""About that? Ah... I remember." Victor reached into his black pants pocket, making Rihana look there with an enthusiastic gaz

Rihana froze, with a tense face she swallowed her saliva."Can we get to the real talk?"Victor stepped back, standing up straight and staring at Rihana who was holding back panic. It was a funny expression to laugh at, and Victor's smile made Rihana even more annoyed but she held it on."So this is what you wanted to tell me?" asked Rihana, trying to calm down but her fists were strong."Yes." Victor answered confidently. "From the beginning, I was the one who asked Dylan to approach you... just so I could get this-your weakness. Now you must be wondering how you're going to get out of the situation that trapped you, right? Because you know what I'm going to use on this thing to threaten you....""Tell me what you want from me.""I already told you. About Vonn and Vincent, I want you to resolve the misunderstanding you caused. That had gone too far....""What misunderstanding that you talking about? What happened to Vonn and Vincent wasn't my fault! It was because of their carelessne
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 088 : More Explanation
After almost a week in prison, Vonn and Vincent had no idea what their next would be.Dumped by their own father, trapped with no way out, and no one to help them. With so much uncertainty and despair, it seemed like they've stopped hoping for Violet."Are you sure Violet can get us out of here?" Vincent asked, looking as wistful as a flower that had lost its color.Vonn, who was getting sick of hearing that kind of question every day, could only sigh and answer, "I told you not to get your hopes up for Violet, let alone for her arrogant partner.""You mean... Victor?""Yes... who else? You just don't see it yourself how haughty he looks, offering a help like throwing fish to a cold, abandoned dog. How annoying.""But aren't we just a cold, abandoned dog?" Vonn looked at Vincent quickly. "Dad dumped us, mom can't do anything, and Violet... it's not like she can do much without Victor either. At least he has money.""Now you're on Victor's side, huh? Do you expect that loser to help us?

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
