I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 136 :Rihanna Is Missing
Two female nurses were walking in the hospital corridor, chatting cheerfully as they walked towards their destination. "Hey, is there a patient you're waiting to see?" the blonde nurse asked the black-haired female nurse who was shorter than her. "Let me see... there is! I'm going to Rihana Barney's room today, I'm so excited." "Rihana Barney... that influencer who loves to share? Wow, you're going to the artist's room, huh?" "I have to practice my smile so that it looks friendly, maybe after I get out of the hospital, I can take a photo with her." The black-haired nurse was impatient because she was on the floor where Rihana was being treated, she could take precedence to see Rihana's condition over the other patients. "I don't know what horrible thing happened to her, wasn't she in a coma from being shot?" asked the blonde nurse. "Yes. I heard it was like that. It's a miracle he survived. I'm glad that she survived, an angel like her deserves such a miracle!" "The accident sh
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 137 : Aren't You Scared?
Rihana woke up in a wooden-walled warehouse. The smell of rotten and damp wood pierced her nose, for a moment made her wonder how long she had been lying in that dirty place? She looked around; realized that it was already night through the cracks in the wooden walls. She started to worry, remembering who took her from the soft and comfortable hospital bed, to a place like this. The door opened, revealing a tall, thin man who Rihana recognized as her father's assistant. “Orlen.” "I'm glad you're finally awake, Miss Rihana," said the man gently, his attitude still the same towards Rihana, his master's daughter."Orlen, why did papa bring me here? I beg you, let me go." "Sorry, Miss, but I obey Master James' orders." “Orlen, I am your master too.”“You are my master, because master James gave you permission to be my master. Please don't move too much Miss, I don't want you to get hurt.” Rihana stared intently, her face was pale and she used a lot of energy just to untie the ties o
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 138 : Face The Pain
Dylan waited in panic and anxiety. The police were trying to find Rihana quickly because Dylan was sure that nothing was okay with Rihana right now. Seeing the traces of blood that most likely came out of her IV, Rihana must have tried to fight back when she was taken away by force. After viewing the CCTV footage, Dylan and Victor seemed to have just seen a major threat when they found out who was coming. "James Barney... he took Rihana." Dylan didn't know what to do now, while he only thought about seeing Rihana now and in a good condition. "Have the police given any updates yet?" asked Dylan, sitting down and then standing up, repeating it anxiously but he could only wait. They were still in the hospital room that Rihana had left. Victor shook his head, no messages had reached his cell phone; either from the police or from Rihana, if that was possible. "Her father took her away because of Rodhe's death that day...," Dylan said, "I don't know how the mafia thinks and acts, even
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 139 : Dissolved
Victor was lost in his emotions. His eyes were red, holding back annoyance and tears. He lashes out at Antonio like a child trying to break a birthday piñata with his eyes closed. Antonio enjoyed that, so he took his time just to laugh at how helpless Victor was in the face of his past."You're a poor boy, Victor. You can't escape your past and it's trapping you in times like these." Antonio would have easily found Victor's moment of weakness and used it to knock Victor down with a single punch. After dropping Victor with a punch to the head, Antonio approached Victor and pulled his hair. He made Victor look at his face forcefully. "I'll tell you one thing I've been saving all this time, for my nephew who will soon be reunited with his parents."Violethendak ran toward Victor, but Victor violently snapped at him. "DON'T COME CLOSE, Violet!" His yell brought Violet to an instant halt with a look of surprise, realizing the tone of his words, Victor corrected his mistake by speaking mo
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 140 : Better Lost
Victor can't take it anymore, and neither can his feelings. In a fit of rage, Victor attacked Antonio. Antonio easily dodges his random and messy movements, and he once again fires a bullet into Victor's right shoulder. But that didn't stop Victor from falling. Victor, who had always looked as calm as the frozen surface of Violetgai's water, now looked like the vortex of a tornado. He ignored the pain that made even Violet, who was just watching, want to cry. When a person moves on emotion, there are two possibilities: he will move irregularly and become easily destroyed, or move without hesitation and become unrivaled. Victor chose possibility number two. He realized that focusing on emotions alone would not win him the match. Since his opponent was a person who relied on words to destroy feelings, Victor chose to become unrivaled by putting his feelings aside for a moment. Victor held back, then reversed the attack. There was no way Antonio could easily overcome Victor's profes
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 141 : Slip Away
Victor still remembers vividly that, amongst the medically-clad people he didn't recognize at all, he saw a vague figure running towards him.His vision was still blurry and his head was too heavy to lift. Victor knew this must be the effect of the anesthetic still controlling him. It felt like he wanted to close his eyes, even though the problem was over and he had successfully paralyzed the people who were planning to steal his heart. But still, she felt very sleepy.However, the sensation was different when that person walked into his room and grabbed his hand."Victor!" Victor forced himself to open his eyes, and slowly the form of someone he knew became apparent in his eyes. "Can you walk? You can't fall asleep again!" he said, his voice loud and bold, a stark contrast to the sight Victor had seen so many times before that he couldn't believe his eyes.Dylan, the man now holding Victor up, helped him out of the operating room. "I'm glad I found you," he said, smiling with rel
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 142 : See You
Violet did not understand what was happening to her at the moment. She was too conscious to realize the great danger that lay ahead of her by staying in the same room with a murderer and criminal like Verlaine. All she could think about was how to escape, but none of those thoughts could move her body. Instead, Violet remained where she was, curled up on the floor with Verlaine looking down at her from his throne. Violet seemed to be begging Verlaine to let her go, begging for her life. But it wasn't really like that when you look at how casually Verlaine was dealing with her own mess. He's been telling stories, as if that's his only purpose in seeing Violet. Is this what he meant by seeking comfort for his heart? But Violet still doesn't know what the big deal is that makes Verlaine do this. Violet ventured to glance over at where Verlaine was. The man was sitting with his elbows resting on his knees, looking like he was realizing something. But Violet couldn't quite put her fin
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 143 : Be Honest
Violet was silent for a long time, her lips unable to reply to what Verlaine had asked her. Meanwhile, Verlaine laughed triumphantly again at her words, smiling at her as she said, "You hypocrite!" she directed at Violet who was shocked at what she had said. "Just tell me that you adore that man so much that you don't care who he is. Whether he's a criminal, a thief, or a demon, you'll still defend him and find justification for his crimes. You're just like Mom and Dad, you're just as hypocritical as they are.""I'm not a hypocrite, Verlaine," Violet replied, distracting Verlaine who seemed to be fiddling with the gun in his fingers. "I'm telling the truth and I'm not looking for any defense of Victor. You and Victor are the same, but you're different because here-I love him.""Don't make me laugh by bringing up love, Miss-""You won't understand, Verlaine. No matter how I explain it, you won't understand what it is about love that I believe in. You even reject the form of love your p

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
