I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 188 : Who Are You?
Ethan was frozen, his face full of disbelief as he heard someone talking through the cell phone he was still holding.His eyes were full of anger, slightly making his pupils tremble and he put the phone away before it smashed in his grasp.The only thing he wanted to say at the moment was, "How dare...."***"I'll see you at practice later, Tiffany.""You too, Mr. Axel."Xiel ended his class and a little conversation with Tiffany with a sweet smile as always. After the bullying incident and the violent video played in the school hall, it seemed like Tiffany had a better social life with her friends.Xiel noticed that Tiffany's face became brighter and more cheerful not just because of him, but because Tiffany had friends who she could talk to casually during class or who would take her to lunch together.Xiel had not come to have fun, let alone to take care of the daughter of the man who had ruined his life. But somehow when he thought of Tiffany's development, Xiel felt something lik
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 189 : Naive
Ethan still didn't react, probably due to the overwhelming confusion he felt. He had no clue, letting Xiel laugh at him. "Who is that woman you're talking about?" asked Ethan, seemingly very curious. Xiel happily answered him. "Elina Stacy, back then she was cooperating in a construction project funded by your father—but it turned out that the funds he used were forbidden money." Ethan was again silent and dumbfounded when he heard that name. "If you've really been following the case against your father, you should be familiar with that name. She and your father were the only ones found guilty; your father was convicted, but Elina Stacy punished herself in the worst possible way." Ethan remembered that name, and what happened to her. "And the boy you're referring to is...." "Yes, that's me." Ethan didn't expect that; he also wondered what was really going on that he didn't know. "What evidence do you say can prove your mother's innocence? How can you think that my father is hid
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 190 : More Expensive Than A Shirt
Violet waited for her coffee in front of the coffee machine with a little blank stare.After doing the thing she wanted to do the most, now she couldn't even lived in peace without thinking about it for even a minute."Make sure they make these designs and market them.""These are....""Those are the designs of several artists, some of whom also work for a company like Vyctrous. If Vyctrous, the jewelry and diamond production company that's been very popular lately, is found to do plagiarizing, their popularity will surely vanish overnight."Violet had done what Antonio wanted, she'd helped him the way he'd always wanted her to. She was finally able to be useful to Antonio, but after that, Violet lost her peace of mind.Maybe she wanted to help Antonio, but not by betraying Victor. If Violet had that kind of doubts, she would tell herself, "Victor and I are not siblings, friends, or two people who know each other. I don't need to feel guilty."Violet grabbed her coffee, rushing off qu
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 191 : Go To Another City
Victor took Violet to another city; Lafayette. Victor planned to take Violet to see the new location where he would open his third store. Yes, Victor would be opened his third store for Vyctrous in Lafayette. But about meeting with the clients, Victor didn't think he would be meeting anyone today since Ella was holding his schedule and he wasn't planning on contacting her today.Wished Ella wouldn't call Victor for a thousand times because Victor wouldn't see them."Look how sharp your gaze like they can laser that big tree to pieces," Victor said, mocking Violet who had just gotten out of the car. "I'll be smiling when I meet the client, so you don't have to worry about my vices, Mr. Victor." "Is it a vice or bad behavior that you only show it when you're with me?" Violet looked a little offended and tried to be naïve by saying, "What do you mean?" Victor closed his car door roughly. He said, "Fix that because I don't want your piercing gaze intoxicating the air around me." Vic
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 192 : Allergy
"Severe allergies?" Victor was stunned to hear what the doctor had to say about Violet."Symptoms such as labored breathing, a flushed or swollen face, and a drastic drop in blood pressure are symptoms of severe allergies. I've checked the lab report and it looks like your friend just ingested the food that triggered her allergy. We found seafood protein in his system and that's most likely the culprit."Victor almost gaped, not expecting it."It's a good thing you got him to the hospital quickly. Severe allergy symptoms can lead to death, and in your friend's case, he could have died from acute asphyxiation or a massive drop in blood pressure that would have stopped his heart.""But is she alright?""She is. Just waiting for her to wake up."The doctor left, Victor silent with an overwhelming sense of guilt.The pasta sauce Violet had eaten earlier must have contained pureed seafood. Violet didn't eat the lobster but she still almost died from something else."I almost killed her...,
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 193 : A Confession
Victor carried Violet through the darkened room, only the moonlight illuminating each step he took up the stairs and into a spacious room on the second floor of the mansion.He placed Violet on the king-sized bed, as gently as if she were a fragile item.Violet seemed to be sleeping so well, she didn't wake up at all, but Victor could tell she was still breathing."In the end, I brought you to my home." Victor bowed his head, admitting defeat to himself for not wanting Violet to go anywhere but his place."I used to ignore you because I knew from the start that we stood on different ground; you loved your father so much, whereas I wanted so badly to destroy him. I even allowed the person who got Vonn and Vincent into trouble to go free and help him, because he and I had the same target. I never told anyone about this, because I knew you would hate me."Victor sat down next to Violet."But in the end we were so cold, it was as if we hated each other and when that happened, I didn't eve
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 194 : Big News, Bad News
Victor woke up with a flushed face in the morning. He saw that Violet was no longer beside him, and she must have left the house already. Violet would have wanted to leave quickly after remembering what happened last night between her and Victor, and Victor would have thought the same if he were Violet. She would have run as far away as she could after being kissed sensually enough by her own brother to be out of her control. "That's a shame," Victor said, rubbing the redness from his face as he remembered what he'd done to Violet. "If Violet was healthy, she would have kicked me hard. But because she was sick, she couldn't resist me—and I jumped at the chance like a shameless jerk. What a pervert." Not enough with just cursing himself, Victor wished he could turn back time. But what was that for? Even if Victor went back to the second he confronted Violet and the atmosphere around them became intense, Victor didn't think he could hold himself back this well and would end up forci
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 195 : Craving An Excuse
[Denver] After what Axielo Grande said that day, Ethan spent several days trying to figure out a truth he never knew. About who Axielo Grande was, and what his relationship was with Ethan’s father, Miguel. Surprisingly enough, it turns out that Axielo was indeed the son of the woman who was found guilty of embezzlement 13 years ago. Ethan was also quite surprised when he read the news about Elina Stacy’s suicide, even though he had heard about it from Xiel. But the news was quite shocking because Ethan never knew if his father had killed someone indirectly. Ethan didn’t want to trust Xiel, after all he still felt wary of a kid who grew up with bad memories and became a mobster, suddenly being sweet and being a friend of Ethan’s younger sister. He still didn’t like Xiel. But the deeper he dug into the information about Xiel, the more Ethan kept feeling like he needed to trust the man’s words. It all made sense, was interconnected, and it hurt when Ethan finally realized why Xiel ha

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
