As Kalix stepped out of the elevator, the people in the lobby greeted him politely and respectfully, to which Kalix responded with a brief nod. His expression remained unchanged, showing neither arrogance nor superiority.Accompanied by his secretary, he entered the lounge, and as he did, the person who was seated there rose to greet him."Hello, Mr. Kalix."Kalix looked at the unfamiliar man. He did not know who he was, not Jasper or Jayden as he had briefly thought moments ago, nor any member of the Dominic family he was familiar with. Nevertheless, Kalix maintained his courtesy, nodding briefly and inviting the man to sit back down.While the secretary prepared two cups of coffee, Kalix and the stranger engaged in conversation."May I know who you are, sir, and what your connection is to the Dominic family?" Kalix asked directly, without beating around the bush.The man did not mind Kalix's straightforwardness, in fact, he appreciated it. So, he responded clearly."I'm Mark, someon
"Are you feeling hungry?" Kalix asked as they arrived at the Celeste family's house.Eugene shook her head, her eyes still red and looking somewhat sad when she glanced at Kalix. Seeing her like that moved Kalix's heart, making him feel sad too. He stroked Eugene's hair and pinched her cheek."Okay, go to sleep. I'll stay with you."Eugene nodded in agreement.That night was destined to be a sleepless one. Even with Kalix by her side, Eugene still struggled to find peace, but she dared not leave the bed for fear of waking Kalix sleeping next to her. It was not until just before dawn that Eugene finally fell asleep.Knowing that Eugene hadn't slept much, Kalix did not wake her when he got up in the morning. Quietly getting out of bed and freshening up, he found some of his clothes stored here because he sometimes stayed overnight.Heading downstairs, Kalix brought breakfast for Eugene, prepared by the housekeeper.Instead of going to work, Kalix decided to wait in the room.Around 9 a.
The room fell silent for a moment as Kalix peeled fruit, waiting for Mrs. Celeste to speak. Since the beginning, Eugene was sent away to buy something absurd, Kalix knew Mrs. Celeste had something to discuss with him without involving Eugene.With her weakened state of mind, Mrs. Celeste did not beat around the bush; she went straight to the point. "Are you serious about my daughter?"Kalix was momentarily stunned, not expecting the conversation to reach this point. However, he quickly nodded earnestly. "Of course, I'm serious."Mrs. Celeste gazed at Kalix, and he returned the gaze. She tried to find traces of insincerity in the young man's eyes but found none except for his sincerity. With that, Mrs. Celeste could be assured of Kalix's feelings towards her beloved daughter. The burden in her heart slowly lifted."So, when do you intend to marry Eugene?"To this question, Kalix had no answer. There were many things to consider. However, he showed no hesitation, leaving no room for Mrs
"Mason must stay alive, he must not die easily. You have to find a way to keep Mason alive and live the rest of his life miserably!"The hateful sentence continued to echo in Jayden's ears even though he was no longer in front of his mother. With everything that had happened lately, Julie's mentality had truly dropped. There was no more affection for Mason, not even for her two sons.And Jayden could understand that, a woman who could kill someone could not possibly have tenderness in her heart forever. When the day came, her bad nature and cruelty would emerge.Jayden woke up from that nightmare again and immediately got up. Today was Mason's operation, as the only remaining member of the family, he had to go to the hospital to arrange it. Although he was really lazy to deal with Mason.However, considering his mother's request, and his personal vendetta, he had to make sure Mason stayed alive.Even though he was waiting for his father's own operation at the hospital, Jayden seemed v
They both sat on simple wooden benches in the corner of the room. Jane recounted stories from the outside world, as if trying to bring a little light and warmth into Jaxson's confined life. She talked about the weather, about this and that.Jaxson listened attentively, his face slowly coming alive with every word spoken by Jane. He longed for freedom, but in moments like these, with Jane by his side, he felt like there was no prison that could bind his love.Indeed, Jaxson realized it. After all Jane had done for him, he had fallen in love with her. Even at his lowest point, Jane was his anchor, the light shining in the darkness.As their time together was nearly over, Jaxson held Jane's hand tightly and confessed, "Jane, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of losing you, afraid of being alone."Jane gazed at him tenderly, calling out, "Jaxson."Jaxson returned Jane's gaze obsessively, in his shattered world, there was nothing else he wanted except the woman before him.Jane released Jaxson's hand
"Do not pout like that, Babe," Kalix said, immediately wrapping his arms around Eugene's waist as she had been trying to distance herself."How can I not pout? Didn't I say yesterday that I would not go to Oakville? So why did you prepare everything for me this morning?" Eugene shook her head slowly.She was somewhat annoyed with Kalix's inconsistency."I just wanted you to accompany me here. Do not you like going out with me? Oh come on, Eugene, are you going to let your handsome boyfriend go alone? Aren't you afraid I will be tempted by other women?" Kalix teased his girlfriend instead."Huh, as if anyone dares to tempt you?" Eugene retorted."Well, never mind. Now that we're in Oakville, accompany your lover, okay!" A wide smile spread across Kalix's lips as he continued to persuade Eugene.The handsome man known for his calm demeanor even disregarded the surprised looks from some coworkers at his behavior in front of Eugene at the moment.Some of them probably did not expect that
Kalix stood up and immediately slipped the ring he had offered earlier onto Eugene's ring finger, kissing her gently."Thank you, Kalix. You really caught me off guard," Eugene said, one hand covering her mouth as she still felt touched by the surprise Kalix had given her."I should be the one thanking you, Darling. Thank you for agreeing to marry me," Kalix said, pulling Eugene into his embrace.Cheers could be heard from around them, everyone sharing in the joy of the perfectly matched couple. Despite some people feeling envious, everyone congratulated them.Of course, they had known about Kalix and Eugene's relationship, both deeply in love with each other for years, and the outcome was predictable. As employees of State-of-the-Art, they fully supported their boss in his proposal plan."Ah, I'm so happy to see you both taking the next step," Nick came with some people known to Eugene.It was Hannah and Mia, Eugene's friends from the capital. They were here after being contacted by
The wedding day has been set, Kalix and Eugene will tie the knot next month. Fortunately for the prestigious family in the capital, events like weddings are not difficult for them to host in a grand manner in the near future. In fact, several wedding organizers in the capital are vying to register as one of the committees for the execution of this large family wedding event. As for Eugene and Kalix? They are currently in one of the famous boutiques in the capital, doing fittings for the gown and suit they will wear on their wedding day. Kalix himself accompanies Eugene, delegating all his tasks to his deputy for the time being. "Stop staring at me like that, Kalix. Is my appearance not good?" Eugene asks because Kalix has been looking at her without saying a word since earlier, which is confusing. "No, of course, you always look beautiful in my eyes. I just can not contain the desire to have you completely soon," Kalix explains quickly because he doesn't want to make Eugene pout.
