“Do you understand what you have done, you fool?!” Jon’s father’s voice boomed through the phone. “The family is barely recovering from father’s death and what is this? The Burton family will be a laughing stock for the whole world!”“Father, I’m sorry…” The soon to be patriarch’s yell cut Jon off, “Enough! Return home right this instance. I’ll figure out what to do with you.”Jon was confused.Just who was this man and how was he able to get a hold of all those pictures and upload them in less than an hour?Usually his father overlooked his actions, but he had never heard his father talk to him in such a manner.His life was finished and it was all because of a random man he thought to be a no name piece of trash.“...please, don’t do this to me. You can’t do this to me!” Jon yelled as he pleaded, tears spilling down his eyes.Luna stepped back in slight shock, looking between Arthur and Jon.The rest of the Gallagher’s had expressions of either disgust or plain shock, they didn’t e
The Williams family were one of the seven great families and close allies with the Burton family.Just like their allies, they also hated and envied the Rhyfel family’s might and integrity, so they worked together and brought about their downfall.Arthur’s hands clenched the tablet’s screen tightly as he recalled a dreadful memory of the man on the screen, the head of the Williams family.When Arthur’s family was being attacked, he ordered his people to kill off the Rhyfel family members one by one if he, Luna and his uncle that were hiding didn’t show themselves.His uncle rushed out to distract them and then Luna helped him escape from the villa.The event might have happened many years ago, but the memory of that day still burned fresh in his mind. It was because of the trash on the screen that Arthur’s family was murdered. It was because of him that Arthur had to go through the hell that was the battlefield. It was because of him that Luna had to suffer all that she did.On tha
Luna spun around the store like a kid in a candy store as the wide variety of beautiful accessories around amazed her.A few moments ago, she had been unpacking her things gleefully as she was now reunited with her only family member, one who cared for her as much as she did for him.But while doing so, her younger cousin, Aaron visited her room and after a brief but thorough inspection of her clothes, decided she needed a wardrobe change.Arthur had decided that she deserved nothing but the very best, and that was how they were now at the most prestigious clothing line in the entire country; Elizabeth’s lines.Her sunflower dress billowed out around her as she moved with a skip in her step from one section to the other, inspecting the variety of clothes and dresses they had.Luna’s excitement vanished as soon as she set her eyes on the price tags on them. It seemed for a moment her eagerness to get a beautiful dress or two had caused her to forget that the brand was also known for ha
The guards believed they had it all planned. As long as they moved together and employed their tactics as they had trained over a thousand times, the fight would have gone in their favor.And if it was any other man they had used their strategy, it would have worked beautifully, but fate granted them the most unfortunate encounter they could have had to use such a tactic.At first they were confident, then surprised, then confused and finally the fear that the war god usually instilled in those unfortunate enough to be his enemies settled on them. For every step he took forward, seven men collapsed at his feet. Arthur didn’t use more than one blow to put them down, after all while he was protecting Luna, he didn’t want her to have another experience of a person dying before her, the occasion with their family was more than enough. The piles of unconscious bodies grew at a faster rate than their backup could arrive and merely moments later, none remained to oppose him.At that moment
Arthur watched the troubled expression Mrs Elizabeth had.He had relayed his plan of infiltrating the auction to her and she pondered means and ways to assist Arthur’s mission. Though she was unable to assist the Rhyfel family in their time of need, she decided she wouldn’t be making that mistake again. “I can sneak you into the auction under my name, so you don’t have any problem entering the venue. No one would dare to stop anyone associated with me, not even rulers of this country!” Mrs Elizabeth explained.Arthur rejected her offer, after all he didn’t want to drag her into his problems, at least not yet.And also, “Using your name might mislead them and make the Williams family believe it is you who’s targeting them. If the secret is going to be revealed, I want no one else but me to take the credit. Let it be known the great families fell at the hands of Arthur Rhyfel, the son of the man who’s heritage they burned to the ground.”Elizabeth understood his mindset and agreed to i
The auction, unlike the Burton family's last occasion, was held at a hotel owned by the William's family.This was agreed upon by both the patriarch of the William's family and Liam, who was currently the acting head of the Burton's family because of the public opinion.After all, no distinguished person attending the function felt safe on the Burton's family property, especially after the murder of Nathaniel.Though they didn't outright say it, after all even though the Burton family was declining greatly, they were still one of the seven great families, and if they could avoid it, most families did not wish to directly antagonize them.While Liam, who was the interim head of the Burton's family had been reduced to a joke due to the scandalous actions of his last son, Jon Burton, Ethan on the other hand was still respected greatly due to his achievements in the military.Many argued that he was merely granted an easy way in due to his family's position, but the ones who knew him, kne
She quickly averted her gaze. Luna had planned to come to the occasion solely for the purpose of being of as much help to Arthur as she could to express her gratitude.And while it was an occasion hosted by both the Burton and William’s family, she had hoped she would have no run in with anyone from the Burton family.Luna even went out of her way to first observe the host family’s movements through the crowd before moving herself, consciously avoiding them.But her actions were all in vain as Jon Burton approached angrily after setting his eyes on her.Stepping back in fear, Luna didn’t notice the waiters that moved behind her carrying a large antique vase. The vase fell to the ground with a loud crash and scattered into a hundred pieces, catching the attention of everyone present.The waiters looked from the destroyed antique to the bewildered Luna with a shocked expression.“Look what you’ve done!” One of the two that carried the vase pointed angrily at Luna, the interaction causi
Luna was tired of it. Time after time, she felt like her own life was not in her hands but controlled by one person or the other.First, it was the people who massacred her family and forced her and her cousin Arthur to flee, then it was her adoptive mother, Clara Byrne, then the Gallagher's and now this.She had decided to herself ever since Arthur's return that she would take back control of her life and she saw this as the first step.Turning to Elizabeth, she pleaded, “I promise you I'm telling you the truth, aunt. I never came near the workers carrying the vase. I don't know what crime I have committed against the Burton family that I am being framed like this.”“How bold of you to utter such rubbish? Did I not make my judgement not on the testimonies of anyone present but on the footage presented before everyone here?” Ethan stated coldly, walking towards her and remaining unfazed as she took a few steps back. “Is this how the so called ‘most promising businesswoman’ Clara Byrn
