With all the energy left in him, Ivan stood up staggeringly and watched the dark-red ring with caution as he retreated slowly and carefully.

His wounds hurt, so he could not rush and could only retreat very slowly, putting a distance between himself and the ring. Ivan looked around skeptically, with the thought that maybe someone was playing tricks on him. But even after looking around, he found nothing, making him even more suspicious.

The dark-red ring remained still on the ground, and he also stared at it vigilantly.

His breath became shallow and fast, his palms sweat-soaked, and his muscles tense. Ivan's heart pounded in his chest, the sound echoing in his ears like a war drum.

A shiver ran down his spine, and his eyes darted nervously from side to side, looking for any signs or recognizable sights that could offer a feeling of solace or comfort, to tell him that he was just imagining things. But there was nothing of the sort.

The obscure can feel like a tremendous, dull void, pre

    Ivan felt an extraordinary surge of energy coursing through his body, like an explosion of power flooding his veins. His previously sluggish and broken-down body suddenly awakened, as if connected to a powerful source, replacing exhaustion with a shock of empowering energy.With this newfound vitality flowing through him, he couldn't resist the urge to let out a pleasurable moan. He felt lighter, more alert, and ready to face whatever challenges came his way. The lethargy and tiredness that had weighed him down were washed away, replaced by a surge of strength and invigorating energy.Compelled by this newfound vigor, Ivan stood up as if his wounds had vanished. However, had Ivan not been intoxicated by this sudden rush of energy, he would have noticed that his skin was peeling off.The wounds, which had been fresh less than an hour ago, had already started forming scabs. Everything seemed surreal, but Ivan remained unaware of these changes.The dark-red ring remained still on Ivan's

    The figure on the floor groaned lightly before standing up. It's Ivan. Ivan opens his grey eyes groggily and looks around. His eyes widen in shock when he realizes that he is in an unfinished building. He sits up with a start, his brows wrinkling. After a while, his memories rush back as if they had just rebooted and come back online. Ivan finally remembers what happened. From the moment he first saw Roy, to when he was humiliated, to where he was thrashed... Wait! Ivan suddenly remembers something. He looks down at himself and when he sees the condition his body is in, his mouth agapes and his eyes dilate like saucer balls. He remembers that he was beaten black and blue yesterday. His leg was broken and he could only drag it behind himself. He had so many wounds on his body last night, but now, apart from the scabs on his skin, he does not even have a scar. Truthfully speaking, he had initially thought that he would not be able to survive with all these wounds, but everything ch

    Anxious and shocked, Ivan hastily searched his pockets, his face growing pale with each passing second. He stood up quickly, scanning his body, but there were still no signs of the ring.His clothes were disheveled and tattered. His shirt, faded and dulled by time and wear, was frayed and torn, revealing glimpses of his worn-out body beneath.His pants were torn and shredded, the knees worn ragged from countless falls and struggles. The fabric barely clung to his legs.However, if one ignored all this, they would notice that beneath Ivan's shredded clothes, his skin was rosy and clear, like a baby's.Apart from the scabs and his feeble state, he looked even healthier than usual. Ivan was once again shocked by this realization. If there was a mirror for him to see himself, he would have noticed that his normally pale face was even rosier than usual.Ivan quickly snapped back to his senses and remembered that he was searching for the dark-red ring. He began looking around, on the floor

    All the worst possibilities only made Ivan angrier, to the extent that green veins popped out from his pale forehead, coupled with what Lucy had done to him.Thinking about everything fueled his desire for revenge.Ivan had waited and waited, with the hope that Lucy would change and come back to her senses, and request for them to get back together.Ivan felt that they had been together for so long, so he did not believe that the ties could be easily severed just like that.He thought that Lucy would still come back to him, and he even had it in mind that if she did not, he would try his best to win her over again and show her how far his love could go for her. But after seeing so many guys with her?Ivan only realized it when it was too late!Lucy never liked him, let alone loved him the way he did. He was the one foolishly sacrificing everything for their relationship, wasting his time and energy, ruining his own life to make her life better because he felt that as a couple, they sh

    Ivan raised his hand to eye level and examined the ring once again. He couldn't believe he hadn't found anything peculiar about it after searching for so long.Ivan knew the answers to his questions lay within the ring. He had an unshakeable feeling that it held the key to his numerous inquiries.How could such a small ring give him a sudden boost in strength despite his wounds?How could it emit such a bright light when there was no apparent source?How could it seemingly move from his pocket to his thumb?How could it grant him such strange and unheard-of abilities?How could it refresh his mind and body like a gentle breeze or a wave of energy? How could such a small ring possess so many powers?How could it heal his wounds without any side effects?And why did the ring only react when he was isolated from the world?Was there something more to all of this?Ivan had many questions, but he continued to stare at the ring with determination.

    It was at this moment that Ivan thought of something. Since his powers were granted by the ring, why couldn't he use the same power on the ring itself?He had been trying to understand the ring for hours, but it was futile. He might as well strain his eyes and use the powers.After countless trials, Ivan finally realized that if he wanted to use his abnormal eyes, he would have to strain his eyes, and then he would be able to see things.With that said, Ivan took a deep breath before straining all his sense organs, especially his eyes. He did not want to miss any information, so he used all his powers at once.With all this, he did not believe that the ring would still be able to keep its secrets.The moment Ivan strained his sense organs, different smells and different sounds assaulted his nose and ears, respectively.He furrowed his brows and found it hard to divert all his attention to the ring. After trying so many times, he finally got the hang of it, and his attention was fixed

    Ivan was still trying to remove the ring when a strange sound suddenly came from inside the ring. It seemed to be coming from another space, echoing and shocking Ivan.He couldn't decipher the owner of the voice's initial message because it was breaking and unclear. After a while, however, the voice became clearer."Ivan, finally."Upon hearing the voice, Ivan trembled and his eyes widened.A flood of feelings washed over him. The voice resembled a symphony of relieving tones, conveying authority and intelligence. It held a power that commanded respect, yet it was gentle and encouraging, like a warm hug.Tears welled in Ivan's eyes as he listened to those simple yet heartfelt words, reminiscent of that person. The voice brought back memories of a time long gone, while also evoking a longing for the lost connection. It was a bittersweet moment, filled with both joy and sorrow.In that moment, Ivan experienced a mix of emotions. He was shocked, never expecting to hear this voice again i

    The connection with Ivan was finally cut off, and he started thinking about how to get to SOHO headquarters.**You must know that SOHO is very prestigious and has many branches under them, but three major companies under their name.**The founder of SOHO was also very prestigious as he never showed himself on camera despite his wealth. Ivan was sure that some people must have seen him before, but he probably silenced them with money or the promise to collaborate with them.It was a well-known fact that if your company is able to hold on to a gold mine like SOHO, then you've hit the jackpot, so every company wanted to collaborate with them.What got Ivan confused was why his parents wanted him to meet them at SOHO headquarters and how they got there. SOHO is very strict with their workers, and those who were not acknowledged as workers would never be able to enter their headquarters due to the strict security.Also, even if you are a worker, you must be in a high position and status be

    After they finally found a dress that they would wear for the ball, they sent all the designers packing, and the house seemed empty. Isabel and Rachel were both immensely tired.“I'm stressed; I need to go to a spa.”“Well, you can add that to the list of what we have to do tomorrow,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“I really do not like being stressed out. It messes with my brain,” Isabel complained.“I wonder how your husband is coping. To be very honest, you're lazy. You can't even do any hard work for like three hours straight.”“Now, why would I want to do hard work for three hours? I was not made for stress; it's why I have my very loving husband that understands me,” Isabel said, and Rachel laughed.“Well, that's good because if your husband was not Ivan, I wonder what you'd have shown him. The people around you need to be very patient people,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“That's why I have you, Chelsea, Elijah, and Richard. You all love me so much that it's suffocating,”

That's how you'd have forgotten about it. It's important, you know,” Rachel told her.“I'm sorry, I've just been so stressed out, and now you're putting me through a hardcore workout,” she told him.“You need these every morning, you know, so you'll have a clear mind,” Rachel told her.“Clear mind how? I'm so stressed right now, and I can barely think, so please, there's no way I'm having a clear mind with this torture,” she groaned, and Rachel just laughed.“Now come on, it's important to keep fit. Go and take your bath,” Rachel told her, and she nodded.“You don't even have to tell me twice. Can't we just tell the designers to come here?”“Well, my house is too cramped up, right?”“My house?

    “I've done a number on him,” Isabel muttered as she plopped down onto Rachel's bed.“Why do you say that?” Rachel asked as she removed her makeup.“He's now acting like a baby around me, like he's scared what might happen if he does some certain things with me. Ivan used to be so confident; he asked if he could hold me earlier after the panic attack,” she told her, and be nodded.“I understand that bit; you just need to be there for him. He needs you this time; make sure you don't let anything happen to him. It's the time to be there for him,” she told her, and Isabel nodded.“I know, I know. I just hope he gets better soon. The panic attack was so deadly to watch; I've never seen him have one. The way he clawed at his throat, Rachel, I don't think I want to see that again. It seemed like he wanted to die, and it drove me insane. I can't bear to see him die, you know,” Isabel told her, and she nodded.“I understand; don't worry.

    “Where the heck have you been, Isabel?” Elijah screamed at her on her way back to the office. Everybody stared at them due to how loud his voice was.“Don't you ever shout at me like that again,” Isabel warned him, and he still looked panicked.“I'm sorry, but everybody has been looking for you.”“Why? I was in Rachel's office; you know that's where I go most of the time.”“Darn it, it's Ivan,” Elijah said as they both got into the elevator.“What's wrong with him?” She asked hurriedly.“He's having those panic attacks again; it's worse this time around. I'm not comfortable leaving him but I was about to go to the announcement room and call your names through the speakers,” Elijah told her, and her own heart dropped.Why was he having these panic attacks? The elevator was not going fast enough; she kept staring at the numbers. She was burning inside, and when the elevator finally opened, she ran out. The people on the floor looked at her, but she didn't care.The man she loved was in

    The moment Rachel got to the office, she was greeted by different people, and they complimented her dress. She smiled and felt happy; she liked dressing nicely and being complimented by people. It made her feel good. She quickly made her way to her office to start her work for the day. She had a lot of things to do, and because she didn't come to work yesterday, she knew she had to catch up on a lot of things today.She remembered her night with Dante and smiled as she entered her office. Maybe things were finally starting to be okay for her and Dante. Maybe they could do this after all, but she still didn't know what would happen. She knew that his father was so against the idea, so even if her own parents agreed, she wasn't sure his own father would allow it. She didn't know what to do, and she didn't want to think about it, so she resumed work immediately. She needed to catch up on things. They had a meeting tomorrow where she would have to give her briefing, so she wanted everythi

    She opened her eyes but quickly closed them again. She didn't want to leave the bed; it was too comfortable for her. So, she closed her eyes, intending to go back to sleep. She didn't want to think about anything; she just wanted to continue being in the arms of the man she loved. She burrowed into his arms, but it felt empty. She immediately opened her eyes and looked beside her, only to find an empty space."Dante?" she called out, met with eerie silence. She sighed in disappointment, realizing that he was gone. She had expected him to still be there, and perhaps they could have talked some more. But she kept forgetting that he was a busy man and didn't always have time for what she wanted to do. Although she knew that if she told him she wanted him to stay, he would do so without hesitation, without thinking twice. And she loved him for that.She finally admitted to herself that she was in love with him. She thought as she plopped back down on the bed. She should probably have toda

    After her conversation with her mom, she plopped down on the bed, contemplating her life and what to do next. She had achieved a lot at her age, and living in a cramped house was simply her choice. She could have easily afforded a penthouse for herself, given her hard work and the trust fund that would set her up for life. However, she wasn't lazy; she wanted to work hard and establish a trust fund for her future children as well. She had already started planning and saving for the children she would have, and the amount of money involved was not insignificant. She had clear goals that she wanted to achieve. For now, she knew that she simply wanted children. She didn't desire much more, just like her parents. Whether they came as twins or individually, she wanted kids. As for a husband, she couldn't envision herself with anyone other than Dante. She thought about it constantly, and he was the only person she could imagine being with. It was a strange feeling, but she just knew it. You

I'm itching to hear about her,” Rachel urged her mother.“Andrea, I don't want to spill your brother's secrets,” she told her, and she pouted.“But he knows all of mine,” she told her, and her mother glared at her.“Mommy.” She gave her that look that she couldn't resist.“Okay, okay.”“Thanks, mommy.”“I'll tell you, but you don't get to use it against him or I'll kill you personally,” her mother told her, and she knew that she took that threat seriously.“So, after you left, you know how your father changes maids in the house every year, except Nora?”“Yes.”“Serena came in as the next batch of maid for the year. It was only supposed to be a year actually. She was assigned to Andre, your brother's chambers. You know the typical boss falls for the maid, whatever. That was exactly what happened, but Serena didn't like him then. She gave him a hard time and she really messed with your brother's mind. He almost went crazy.
