I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 206 : Shattered Us
Violet's voice became shaky; she looked around and remembered exactly what they had talked about that day. The small talk that had taken place between her and her father's guest, but Violet never knew what had really happened that day. Victor hadn't come to visit that day; he wasn't her father's guest or friend. He had come for revenge, but somehow they had sat under the big tree and enjoyed the view for a while in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. But Victor wasn't here now; and it made Violet slowly recall what she had heard after she woke up from her coma; about how things were around her besides the bad news about her mother. Maria; Victor's best friend who had gone out with him - she was the one who had crashed the car he and his mother were traveling in that night. She's the one who killed Karina and nearly killed Violet. He's the one who made Violet live in regret after that night and a void where she can't even remember what her life was like before that night. But now... thi
I AM THE MASTER OF UNLIMITED DOLLAR SYSTEM 207 : Broken Trust
Violet was silent, because it was unusual for someone to come just to visit without meeting her as the owner of the farm and estate here. "Did he say what his name was or where he was from?" Violet asked, feeling curious. But Shawn just shook his head and said, “He didn’t say anything about himself; he just said what he needed to say and left without saying goodbye.” Violet was still confused, because she had no idea who Shawn was talking about. But his suspicious arrival made Violet suspicious and curious about his identity. That is, until Shawn continued with his words and distracted Violet’s attention. “He was a tall man, his right eye was covered with a bandage and his open eye... was blue.” Violet was transfixed, staring intently at Shawn as he went into more detail about the man she had seen. “He was thin, and his hair was blonde. He came alone and from nowhere!” Violet didn’t wait for Shawn to finish and ran out of the farm. She didn’t know where the man Shawn was

"I'm so scared... I've been living well all this time but I'm slowly forgetting about you; you who doesn't even appear before me when I open my eyes," Violet said, expressing her heart, "we didn't talk properly that night, but why did you never come back to me, Victor? I thought you were leaving me on purpose, but your not coming back made me think you were dead that night. I was so scared, Victor... why were you so indifferent to my feelings?""I'm sorry, Violet; that night I also thought that I wouldn't come back. When I was determined to go see you immediately, my legs felt even weaker and I started having trouble breathing. I was afraid, I was also very afraid that I wouldn't make it to you. For the first time, I was afraid to die. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to you." Violet listened to that, crying even harder and hugging Victor so she could calm down for a moment. "That night Draven came to save me; and I tried to recover as quickly as possible so I could see you

Violet stood with her legs on the verge of collapse, trembling with fear.She was about to deliver the change after the buyer had made a transaction for food from her farm that afternoon. Since she knew the buyer very well and had been going back and forth from her house to the buyer's location many times, Violet didn't think she needed a ride or someone to accompany her.But it was only when she was about to leave that she regretted turning down all the offers from people at the ranch to accompany her.On her way home, Violet was followed by four men whom she had seen since she was at her customer's place. Actually, one of the four men had offered to take Violet home with them, since she had been having trouble with her bicycle chain. But Violet refused; they were too suspicious for her to trust.Violet's suspicions were confirmed when, on her way home, the four men followed her. Even when Violet pedaled faster, she was still followed.Panicked, Violet pedaled her bike faster an

At the sound of that name, the men holding Violet could be heard muttering, as if surprised by what they were hearing.They certainly knew who Victor Leighton was, one of the executives of the most dangerous New Orleans-based mafia group called Little Boy.But even so, the grip on Violet's hand did not loosen. In fact, it grew stronger until the girl let out a painful moan."Don't be so strong, she'll get hurt." The man named Victor said."Why, did you come to save her? Are you her lover?""No," Victor answered quietly. Violet just looked at him hopefully, hoping that Victor wasn't one of the new problems that had come her way today.Seeing how calm Victor was as these people questioned him made Violet want to hope, but the fact that Victor had come alone undeniably made Violet a little anxious. How was she going to fight off seven people who looked stronger than her?The man with the beard, who continued to hold Violet, laughed. "Then what did you come for? Were you also offer

"Alright ...." Violet's attention diverted, she turned to Alexa and Jessie who were intently observing her appearance from top to bottom. Of course in their minds there was still a sense of surprise and disbelief, this girl who looked innocent and innocent in front of them was the woman of the man who was the target of many women out there."Please tell us, what's your name?" asked Alexa."Violet Flurry Violet." Violet introduced herself simply. If asked her name, she would answer politely. However, that seemed to be a problem for Alexa and Jessie who immediately squinted, disturbed."You won't be able to survive here if you introduce yourself like that, Miss Violet.""Am I not polite enough?""It's polite, but it lacks gestures." Jessie's words made Violet frown, not understanding. "Did you see our look? It's not just a look, but we're bringing a code of conduct that matches the elegance of this dress.""First, we'll show you where your room is. Follow us." Alexa and Jessie stepped o

"Because he's handsome and wealthy, many women want to have him. Including that woman I mentioned earlier. She seemed to be trying so hard to get Victor that she insisted on staying at the Melrose House.""Do you want to know why that woman left on her own, Miss Violet?" Jessie asked, coming closer to Violet. Without needing an answer, Violet's silence was an answer. She wanted to know."The reason is because Victor never saw her again after that night." Jessie and Alexa again laughed mockingly."Never saw him?""Victor never saw her and visited here, Victor never contacted her. In short, she was ignored."Violet scowled faintly. Of course, for her, what Victor was doing was not the right thing. But for some reason, the two women in front of her seemed to take it in stride and even found it amusing. It was as if they had guessed it would happen."So, Miss Violet...," Alexa paused, also approaching Violet and Jessie, "we'd like to know why you wanted to bring Victor to this place. We w

"Do you realize what you just asked, Violet?"Violet gave a troubled look, worried that her words would make Emma angry and feel offended. "I'm sorry, Miss. I shouldn't have asked that," she said frantically, hoping Emma wouldn't misunderstand her. But Violet's worries were put to rest when Emma suddenly burst into laughter."Hahaha...!"The sound of laughter made Violet make a confused face. It wasn't just an expression, she was genuinely confused at the moment.Emma, the mastermind of the laughter, said, "Of course I'm very happy, Violet!" It took a few seconds for Emma to completely stop laughing. Violet didn't know where the funny part was that the girl not far from her was laughing like this.After Emma finished laughing, she paused for a moment. Emma took a breath and then exhaled quickly. "Isn't it nice to have a lot of money?" she asked Violet, who was silent and didn't understand the meaning of her question."Would it be okay to take a walk and listen to my story?" Emma asked

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
