When Anastasia got home, her mind was racing, but she knew what had to be done. She picked up her phone and dialed her grandma. “Ma, please call a family meeting about what you told me earlier,” she said firmly, her voice holding an undercurrent of tension.

“Are you ready to accept our terms?” Nancy asked coldly. Anastasia’s silence on the other end of the line was all the answer she could give.

***

Not long after Anastasia hung up, Nancy wasted no time. She called Anastasia’s parents, relaying the news with brisk efficiency.

Just as quickly, Nancy called Anastasia’s cousins, her uncle, and her aunts, and within the hour, the Stewart Mansion was filled with family members, the tension so thick it felt like you could cut it with a knife.

They all gathered around the dining table, wine glasses placed before them as they exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what this sudden meeting was about.

Anastasia stood, her face void of any warmth, her usual bright smile replaced with a somber expr

    Meanwhile, after Alex drove Anastasia home before she went to her family meeting, he returned to his own apartment.Since the moment he put on the ring, his life had changed. He rented a new, decent apartment for himself, but he was still keeping a low profile.Just as Alex was about to enter his apartment, Michael lifted his binoculars from his car, zooming in from the distance he had parked, to see where Alex was living.Certainly, Alex had stood up to him at the recent get-together, and Michael was not ready to let him go scot-free without teaching him a lesson.Back in his country, no one dared speak to him that way. But here, someone had, and he intended to make Alex a scapegoat.Now knowing where Alex lived, Michael reversed his car and went on with his day, returning to his girlfriend’s arms as if he hadn’t done anything.***Later that night, Michael dialed some numbers and spoke in Italian, “Andiamo da quel figlio di puttana adesso” (Let’s go to that son of a b*tch now).“Si,

    The next morning, Alex woke up from a bad dream, panting heavily like a dog that had just finished a race.Realizing it was only a dream, he noticed he had been sweating all night. He got out of bed, hoping that what he had seen wouldn’t come to pass.In the dream, a man he had never seen before had tried to kill him. Just as the man was about to strangle him, Alex jolted awake.He went into the bathroom, refreshed himself, and prepared an omelet for breakfast.As he finished prepping, his phone buzzed with a single ring. It wasn’t a call but a text. When he checked, he saw the name "Anastasia" appear in his thoughts.Then, he opened the message.“Good morning, love. As much as I hate to tell you this, I have to. Please come to my family villa ASAP. They want to see you.”Reading the text, Alex knew it was going to be another hectic morning at the Stewarts' villa. No doubt, Anastasia’s grandmother and family wanted him to back off from their daughter.He sighed, ate his breakfast, the

    Hearing Nancy’s question, Alex simply smirked, the corners of his lips curving upward in silent amusement. There was no need to explain himself to the Stewarts. They had formed their opinions about him long ago, and nothing he could say now would change that. Besides, it didn’t matter to him. What they thought, their judgmental whispers, their scrutinizing eyes—all of it rolled off him like rain off a slicked surface.Instead, he turned his attention to Anastasia, his expression softening when their eyes met. A quiet resolve settled over him. With a subtle nod, he signaled it was time to go.Without a word, they rose from the dinner table, leaving behind the clinking of cutlery and the murmurs of disbelief that followed them. The stares, heavy and piercing, didn’t faze Alex in the slightest. To him, the world outside those walls held far more weight than the suffocating judgment within them.Nancy’s mouth fell open in sheer disbelief. She blinked rapidly, trying to process what had ju

    As Anastasia fled the office and into the elevator, she quickly pressed the buttons, desperate to escape. When she arrived downstairs, she rushed to her car, got in, and drove off, tears welling in her eyes.Meanwhile, just as she fled, Alex stood frozen, unsure of what to do. He knew he had broken Anastasia’s trust by not telling her the truth from the start. But he couldn’t lose her now. She was the best thing that had ever happened to him, and he wouldn’t let her slip away.He quickly ran after her.“Anastasia! Ana!”“Wait! Please wait!” he shouted, but Anastasia ignored him. Defiant, she slammed the elevator button, willing it to close faster.***Alex had been Anastasia's first love, her first boyfriend. She had never been with anyone else, and this betrayal hit her harder than she could handle. The memory of his lies haunted her, each one a fresh wound. Tears filled her eyes as she gripped the steering wheel, her heart aching.“He kept lying to me, playing me for a fool!” she mu

    Throughout the evening and into the night, Alex searched for Anastasia everywhere, but she was nowhere to be found. He checked her apartment, his heart racing with each passing moment, then craned his neck to glimpse the Stewart family villa from a distance. He even waited down the street, hoping to catch sight of her if she happened to drive by. But despite his efforts, everything proved futile.In the same vein, he dialed her phone time and time again. “This number you are trying to call is busy. Please try again later,” was all he heard in response, each message piercing through his anxiety like a knife.Defeated, Alex decided to head home and go to bed, resolved to continue the search for her in the morning.The next morning, Alex jolted awake suddenly, panting heavily as if he had just finished a grueling relay race. He was drenched in sweat from head to toe, a sense of terror gripping him as if he had just seen a monster in his dreams.“It’s just a dream. It’s just a dream,” he

    At this moment, Jackson stood there in nothing but his boxer briefs, the outline of his aroused d**k disturbingly clear.He turned away from the glass wall, his eyes locking onto Anastasia with a smirk that sent a chill down her spine. “I’ve always loved your body and your voice. I’ve been watching you for a long time, and today, the universe made sure we’d end up together. Even if our families never unite, I won’t regret this.”The smirk stayed on his face, but Anastasia’s heart raced. Her eyes widened, her breath hitching as she tried to process what was happening. Suddenly, she shot out of bed, her body shaking as she grabbed the blanket and darted for the door, her fingers trembling as they fumbled with the handle.“Hehe,” Jackson chuckled, the sound cold and filled with wicked amusement.“Don’t waste your energy. You really think I didn’t lock the door and keep the key?” His voice was dark as he lifted his hand, the key dangling from his fingers, mocking her.Anastasia’s stomach

    Outside the hotel, Anastasia froze, her eyes widening in disbelief as she saw the car Alex had opened for her. The cars she’d known Alex to drive were hers. But now, here was a sleek, yellow Ferrari, the kind of car that screamed wealth, its engine purring with authority.Her heart pounded in her chest. Alex had always been humble, his life modest. Yet, this car—this display of opulence—made her uneasy, as if the ground beneath her feet was slipping away.Alex gave her a soft, encouraging smile and gestured toward the open door. "Get in."For a moment, she hesitated. Her mind raced, trying to piece together the truth. How had she missed this side of him? Anastasia already knew Alex wasn’t as poor as she or her family had believed, but this—a Ferrari—was another level. Her chest tightened, the edges of doubt creeping into her mind.Still, she slipped into the passenger seat, her movements stiff with suspicion. As Alex started the engine, her thoughts churned, unable to stay silent."As

    Alex saw all this, but it was what he had expected beforehand. He wasn’t talking to a doll who blindly believed everything he said. Anastasia was strong-willed, with her own thoughts and reasoning, and it would take more than words to convince her.If the roles were reversed and someone had told him about a ring capable of making someone rich and giving them mysterious powers, he wouldn’t have believed it either.But Alex was prepared. His mind was set on showing Anastasia the truth. That’s why he had driven to this secluded road.Suddenly, he opened his car door and stepped out. When he did this, he looked back at Anastasia, who sat silently beside him, eyes filled with doubt. “Please come out and see for yourself,” he said gently.Anastasia hesitated for a moment, her heart beating faster as she wondered what he was about to show her. Without saying a word, she stepped out of the car. They stood together in front of Alex’s Ferrari, the cool air settling around them like a silent wit

Hence, Elisha was going to leverage it for his mission.Like everybody else, Elisha drove right through the already opened gate. Beforehand, he had not known about the gala, but coincidentally, the gala was happening tonight, and wasn’t he the luckiest man?He smiled at the valet as he tossed him his car key, then confidently walked away from the door, blending effortlessly with the evening's elegance.He made sure to walk on the red carpet that was spread to glorify the staircase beyond the front door.

    Elisha sat on the edge of the bed in his hotel room. The room was not like something he was used to.The small-sized bed, the small-sized room, the small-sized everything that was put in the room. It all felt almost suffocating. Back in Norway Bradad, his governmental-given residence was triple the size of this small-sized reservation in this hotel. But even so, he purposely chose the room.“It would be easier to get ready for the day ahead here than being in the bigger room," he convinced himself as he inspected this room before he paid for it. Sometimes, simplicity helped him focus.Ten minutes into sitting there, lost deep in thought about how he was going to execute his plan tomorrow, he heard the doorbell ring. Quickly shaking himself out of his mind maze, he rose to open it.Before opening, he already knew it was no one other than the personal shopper who had been summoned by the receptionist, judging by the needs he had earlier mentioned to her. He straightened his posture befo

    Five days and five nights passed, and Elisha was still walking towards the north in the jungle. His body was weary, his legs were swollen, and hunger gnawed at his insides like a wild beast. Each step grew heavier than the last.As the evening of the fifth day fell upon him, he found himself beneath the welcoming shade of an apple tree. He sat down heavily to catch his breath. This apple tree was the first edible fruit tree he had seen since he had started wandering through the dense and relentless jungle.To this discovery, he decided he would not miss this opportunist.Elisha looked up to the top of the tree and noticed a few apples already ripened under the orange sky. He reached out and touched the trunk, feeling the roughness of the tree bark beneath his palm. It was sturdy enough—something he could climb.Different countries, different weather, different soil, right? Back in Norway Bradad, apple trees were short. You could simply stretch out your hands and pluck even the apples

    Being the president of Norway Bradad, Agata had access to a lot of things, including a military private helicopter.After Elisha gave him a solemn nod, he understood the assignment without needing further explanation. He stepped out of Agata’s office with a respectful bow and immediately headed to the military camp, his mind already preparing for the mission ahead.For a general like him, war and battles were no strangers. He was a man who had climbed from the bottom to the very top of the military hierarchy, earning every stripe and rank through sheer determination and skill.Forty years ago, Elisha had joined the military as a recruit. His days had been filled with rigorous training—brutal trainings so harsh that many recruits like himself lost their lives before they could even complete it. But Elisha survived. He endured.From that point, he began at the lowest rank. Through unwavering bravery, numerous achievements, and countless victories in wars, he continued to rise. His progr

    Agata hung up the call suddenly, his breathing fast and heavy like an angry lion. He slammed the phone on the desk, clenching his fists as the fury boiled inside him.If Halsten had not threatened him, he’d have known exactly what to do. Even if it were not to later secure the oil well, he would have invaded Velmoria without a second thought and taught Alex a harsh lesson he wouldn’t forget.However, his hands were tied, and the feeling of helplessness gnawed at him. “Those motherfuckers!” Agata cursed bitterly as he pictured Halsten’s smug face and imagined giving him the weaning — right in his head again, harder this time.He exhaled sharply and moved toward his desk from the glass wall where he had been standing when he received the call. Just as he reached his chair, the heavy door creaked open, and Elisha stepped into his spacious presidential office.“Sir, I think you need to see this,” Elisha said, his voice tense with urgency.Agata turned sharply to face him. Elisha held a t

    Agata dressed up in his military uniform, the fabric stiff yet familiar against his skin. As the constitution of Norway Bradad stated, he was not only the president of the country but also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.Under his leadership, the next rise was Elisha. As Agata finished adjusting his uniform, he walked forward with purpose and got into his military convoy, the engines rumbling in readiness.“Let’s go!” he said to Elisha.Receiving his order promptly, Elisha leaned his head out of the window and instructed the military chauffeurs, “Move it!”Immediately, the convoy moved—not at a slow pace, but at a swift, deliberate speed, as if reflecting the urgency in the air.Twenty minutes later, the convoy screeched to a halt, and Agata stepped down at the headquarters military base. Without wasting a second, he headed straight down to the intelligence unit, his steps heavy with anticipation.The unit had already been briefed about his arrival. They knew why he was co

    “Hello, President Agata Newsway. It’s been a while,” Halsten said as soon as he heard the call had been transferred to Agata.He stood by the glass wall in his office, his grumpy, shaking hands buried deep in his pockets. Behind him, on a desk in the distance of his expansive presidential office, sat a cup of warm tea. A hanky was tucked into his loosened neck button inside his suit. The weather in Turnish was cold, and at his age, Halsten needed something warm to soothe his bones.“Indeed, it has been a long time,” Agata replied. He rose to his feet and walked toward his own glass wall, mimicking Halsten’s posture as though they were staring each other down from across continents.Halsten chuckled, aware of the sarcasm in both his words and Agata’s. The two nations were sworn enemies, and neither man pretended otherwise. The irony was thick in the air.“I’ll get straight to the point, President Agata Newsway,” Halsten said, his voice lower now, firmer and edged with tension. “Norway

    The night passed, and a new day dawned over Velmoria. Light filtered in through the long white curtains, and with it came a renewed sense of purpose. Alex rose from the bed, right from beside Anastasia. Her hair was spread over the pillow like a fan of gold threads, peaceful and calm. He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss on her forehead. His cheek expanded into a soft, boyish smile he hadn’t worn in days.“You are very much happier today, Alex,” Anastasia said, a smile spreading across her face as her eyes fluttered open.“Yes, I am. Because you know what?” Alex replied, his tone light as he leaned back toward Anastasia, their lips locking together like beautiful couples on a honeymoon, full of love and shared dreams.“What?” Anastasia murmured with a small hum. Her curiosity stretched like an alerted dog, ears up, ready. She wanted to know—needed to know—why her husband seemed so different from the somber man who had left the bed quietly just nights ago, carrying the weight of a tr

    Alex and the advisory council were still deep in their meeting, discussing national matters, when a sudden sound disrupted the focused atmosphere. Alex’s phone began to ring, its sharp tone slicing through the air like a blade through silence. Heads turned slightly, eyes narrowing in disapproval, but Alex remained composed.He turned to the side just in time to see Robert walking towards him with steady steps. Robert, ever composed and professional, was clutching the phone in his hand. As Alex’s personal assistant and security detail, Robert was always close by, ready to step in whenever needed. He was more than just an employee — he was a trusted confidant.Robert paused beside him and leaned in, lowering his voice to a whisper. “Sir, President Victor Halsten from Turnish is on the line.”Alex’s eyes sharpened at the mention of the name. President Halsten wasn’t just another world leader. Their history went beyond diplomacy — it was personal. Turnish had supported him long before he a
