Violet came to the table where Antonio was waiting for her. It was surprising to see Verlaine there too. "Hello, Violet. It's been a while. Nice to see you here," Verlaine said, crossing his legs casually and waiting awkwardly for Violet to sit down. A sumptuous Japanese meal was served to them. The room was closed enough for serious conversation. Violet felt a little uncomfortable. "How are you, Violet?" asked Antonio, making Violet look at him and forget about Verlaine. "I'm fine." Violet looked uncomfortable, keeping her head down until Antonio made her lift her head by saying, "And how is your twin brother?" It was surprising to hear Antonio ask how Vonn and Vincent were doing after treating them like outsiders before. "They're fine. ...." "I'm glad to hear that." Violet watched Antonio's face, the man looked like he was holding back a feeling of regret. "I don't know where to start, but I just wanted to express my regret to you, and of course to Vonn and Vincent," Anton
Violet looked guilty. If she hadn't known, she would have used Victor to help destroy her own father. "Father, I'm sorry," Violet said, "if I hadn't known this sooner, would I have unknowingly destroyed you by helping Victor and Xiel?" Antonio smiled, understandingly. But in his heart, he laughed. "I understand; in the end, Victor will do whatever it takes to get back at me, even if it means deceiving you. I feel bad for you, Violet, even though it was me who asked you to work there, but it seems like he deliberately stole your heart and made you his chess piece." "So, what should I do, Father? Should I quit the company and be by your side. I also doubt my ability to continue being around her, or...." Violet hesitated to continue her words, and Verlaine took the opportunity to speak. "Or are you afraid that you'll actually turn to Victor's side and betray father?" Violet looked at Verlaine who was insinuating her, then lowered her head. Antonio touched her shoulder and made Viol
Vincent ventured to visit Rihana Barney who had not regained consciousness since that day. He just stood by the bedside, carrying a bouquet of flowers that he carried limply, his eyes wide as he watched Rihana's beautiful pale face. He was about to take her hand, but Dylan's arrival distracted him. Awkwardness was about to engulf them, but Dylan tried not to make it real and invited Vincent to talk outside. "I heard you and Rihana were college friends...." Dylan began to speak, breaking the silence. "Yeah. We're good friends and pretty close." "I can see that. I've heard many stories of Rihana's closeness to you and your twin sister." "From who?" "Victor?" Vincent chuckled. "He seems to know a lot of things that she didn't even know before." Dylan joined in the laughter. "He can buy anything with his big money; including information about you that he never wanted to know before." Then Dylan lowered his gaze, looking a little serious. "He could also have bought something he s
Victor headed to the hospital when Dylan gave him the news that Rihana had regained consciousness. When he arrived, he had no idea that Vincent would be there too. But seeing Dylan's happy face, Victor focused only on that thing and nothing else for now. "Dylan, how is she?" Victor asked. "The doctor is examining her, but she was able to recognize me when she saw me earlier." Victor couldn't react any more, but he was glad to see that Dylan seemed to have regained his cheerfulness. "Maybe he still needs a little more rest before he can receive visitors," Vincent said, he also looked happy and relieved, and Victor understood the reaction."In that case, we'll wait until the doctor is finished. Shall we chat for a while?" asked Victor, and the good mood made Dylan and Vincent accept his offer. They would have chatted in the hospital's cafeteria, but they stopped in a deserted hallway when they saw who was coming.Victor again did not expect that there would be such a surprising perso
Victor and Vincent arrived at the cafeteria, while Dylan was sitting quietly with three glasses of coffee, one of which was his."Have you ordered it?" Victor asked, sitting down."Yes. I don't know what Vincent likes, so I ordered what men usually like. Don't you mind what I ordered, Vin?"“No. I love Americanos. Thank You.”“Never mind.”Vincent sat up, but his forehead was still slightly furrowed.“You guys seem to be getting closer,” Victor joked a little, and Vincent looked at him a little sharply; he was surprised that Victor could act so calmed when he actually had something to explain now.“Victor, what are you doing? Is what the mafia said true, if you help him get out of prison?”“Should we talk about it here?”“We should. Besides, there aren't many people around our table, so don't worry if there will be people with less work to do who want to know our chat.”Victor glanced around and realized that Dylan had chosen a quiet side of that place; didn't know whether Dylan did it
Rose was at a loss for words after hearing what Violet had just said.Wait a minute. Even the fact that this person standing in front of her was the dangerous girl she had just discussed had already shocked her, and now she had to accept that this dangerous girl was the lover of her child?"W-wait... are you serious, Miss?" Rose asked, wanting to make sure once again even though she couldn't deny Violet's confident look that seemed to say everything."I know this has taken you completely by surprise, ma'am. I can only apologize that we love each other.""Hey, what did you say?" Victor snapped, already furious and wanting to set the record straight, but Violet backed him into a corner."Honey, I know you didn't want this. I'm going to apologize for telling your mom the truth.""What did you say? Stop making me-""Ma'am, the truth is that Victor wants to keep our relationship a secret because he cares so much about my position. He's really good, just like you.""Victor?" Rose glanced at
Dylan came to see Rihana, he brought a beautiful and simple bouquet of flowers for Rihana to be displayed in her small vase."Thank you. I'll ask the nurse to put them in the vase."Dylan sat down next to her. "How are you feeling?""Already better.""Really?""Yes. The doctor still advises me not to move much at first. I also still need these medical devices to stay close to me."Dylan smiled, feeling relieved. But it was only temporary before he remembered his plan of coming here."Rihana, I'm going to go a vacation," Dylan said, making Rihana look at him with some disappointment. "Victor invited me and the others to go on vacation to Miami for a week. I don't really want to go on vacation; I have to keep an eye on the workers at the production site as well and then, you....""Go on." Dylan dared to look at Rihana as she said so, with a slight smile. "You don't have to think about me too much, and about your work, Victor must have taken good care of it since he's the boss there.""Yo
Victor arrived in Miami Beach with the others.True to his word, he brought everyone along for the vacation; Dylan, Violet, Vania, Vander, Vonn and Vincent. They arrived at the five-star hotel Victor had booked for them, and they arrived at almost the same time.As agreed, everyone agreed to stay at the same hotel."I'm glad it's a personal vacation, so I don't have to be afraid that I'm going to be in the same room with Victor," Vonn said, sarcastically teasing Victor as he carried his suitcase into the hotel.Vincent had acted as the mediator between Vonn's hatred and Victor, and Vonn still seemed angry with Victor's decision to help Xiel.Victor didn't think anything of Vonn's remarks, he was used to them. But he noticed that Violet seemed colder to him.Violet even refused to go in the same car with Victor, even though they had always been together on several occasions; rivaling Vonn and Vincent in terms of cohesiveness.But she chose to go with Vania on the grounds that they were
