There was a commotion, and Arthur and Irina even stood up from their seats as soon as they found out who the woman behind the veil was."Why?""That doesn't look like Hazel Walsh, but I'm unsure...""Is this another drama from both families? They never cease to surprise...""I don't think that's Hazel Walsh. Is there a new scandal?!"Whispers spread among the guests while the clueless priest prepared to continue the ceremony. Glenn raised his finger at the priest, signalling him not to proceed."Where is my bride?!" Glenn snapped, staring sharply at Amber.Amber pretended innocence, "Well, you're looking at her," she said, pointing at herself.Glenn's jaw tensed, and he left the altar with heavy steps to find his real bride."My groom! Where are you going? Don't leave your bride to bear the shame..." Amber pleaded with her nauseating act.Benjamin came half-running towards Glenn, "What's going on? Where are you going?" he asked confusedly, but when he saw the bride at the altar, "Oh..
Applause and cheers resounded as the priest allowed the bride and groom to kiss. Afterwards, they walked side by side into the chapel.Glenn glanced at one of the wedding attendants, "Where's the fake bride from earlier?!" he asked, surprised to see the tear in Amber's dress where she had stood at the altar.The attendant, who had been instructed to watch over Amber, looked puzzled, "Oh, she was here earlier," she said hesitantly.The woman seemed very innocent and young; apparently, she had been distracted by the show outside and forgotten her duties. Amber had escaped.Glenn couldn't interrogate her. Someone slipped their hand into his arm, slender fingers with neatly painted light pink nails.It was his wife's hand. Glenn turned and smiled at Hazel, who pouted playfully at him. "Hey, husband..." she teased, fluttering her long eyelashes. Glenn swallowed hard and loosened his suddenly tight bow tie."Do you know that behind that curtain, there's a small room where we can hide togeth
"Hahaha…" Amber burst into laughter as if she had lost her sanity because she laughed at the wrong time.Don looked at Amber horrifiedly, as if the woman was insane and had grown tired of her life."Look! She's mocking you, boss!" Don incited Sebastian, pointing at Amber sitting across from him.Amber stared sharply at Don. "Tsk tsk... I find it amusing because of your recent remarks, bringing up the issue of the duration of your friendship. After all, even kings are ousted by their siblings, so why should you be an exception?" Amber taunted Don sarcastically."You—!" Don was angry at Amber's taunt. He wanted to refute her and retort, but Sebastian cut him off.With the muzzle of the gun aimed at Amber, he ordered her to speak."Explain what you meant by those words.""Boss, you can't possibly believe her, can you? This vile woman just wants to plant lies in your mind!" Don incited, appearing very angry because of his position compared to Amber.Amber sighed lazily as if belittling th
‘What does he mean? He's also after that Soulcatcher not just for profit, but for... Mom?’ Yvonne thought as Victor closed the door in front of her.But her annoyance at her two cousins sabotaging her room made her pound on the door.Victor came out annoyed, ready to chase Yvonne away. But he got an idea, so he unbuttoned his shirt and only wore shorts, then opened the door.With one hand raised up against the door frame, he opened it. Yvonne was startled to see a strange creature staring at her annoyedly.Wildly when Victor's armpit hair swayed freely, bare-chested and only wearing shorts.Yvonne looked at him with disgust, "You pre-historic man! Why aren't you wearing clothes! Do you think your form is enticing? You're just making people sick!" she snapped, turning her eyes away, cursing her eyes that Victor had tainted.Victor smiled victoriously, "Does anyone sleep fully clothed? Are you that one? Are you a human or a robot?" Victor scoffed."Don't imagine things about me! At leas
"Darling... Enough, I need to close my eyes for at least five hours," pleaded Hazel to her husband, who seemed tirelessly having sex with her since they returned from the chapel.Even Glenn disregarded the calls from their parents urging him to attend their own reception."Enjoy yourselves; I'm having my fun here, too," replied Glenn, promptly receiving affectionate blows from Hazel. Irina and Miriam raised their eyebrows after hearing Glenn's response, and they chuckled as if reminiscing about their days as newlyweds."Oh, the youthful spirit..." reminisced Miriam, greeted by Irina's amused claps. They continued the reception party without the bride and groom. Everybody is happy, so it should be a win-win situation.Unable to spotlight the newlyweds, journalists didn't run out of ideas, as the guests themselves were news. Since the phone was shut, Hazel and Glenn had sex in every corner of the house as if there was no end to it.Hazel's eyelids half-opened due to exhaustion catching
"Sebastian Thornhill got shot!" exclaimed a journalist still broadcasting Sebastian's arrest.Glenn, working while watching the broadcast, immediately put down his pen and reached for his phone to get a closer look.Sebastian Thornhill lay sprawled in a pool of blood.‘Could that be Victor's doing?’ Glenn speculated, but he wasn't sure if Victor could have such brazenness.Then, his thoughts turned to the group that rescued the Davis brothers.‘The Eyes? I thought they would save Victor; why would they trap him instead?’ Glenn pondered."Is there something going on between them? It seems so because they only appeared together yesterday. That means they're hiding somewhere right now..."He watched as Sebastian's body, carried by medical personnel, was loaded into an ambulance headed straight for the hospital.His phone rang; it was his father."Have you seen the news?" his father asked directly, without preamble."Yes, father.""If not the Davis brothers, he'll link it to us," his fath
"Did you hit him?" Eleanor asked, curious about her sharpshooter crew, who had descended from the building and blended in with the pedestrians as their camouflage.There was a brief pause before her crew member replied, "I think so.""Yes!" Eleanor cheered joyfully, clenching her fists, then high-fiving the current duty crew in the control room.Not everyone got a chance to high-five her when one of her crew members disrupted the mood, "Hold on, El, you might need to know this," he reported, showing the headline accusing Sebastian of assaulting Smith's children yesterday."They'll be hunted even more," predicted another crew member.Eleanor's jaw tightened. "Let it be. I'm sure they can handle it. This is the price to pay." Her determination made the entire crew glance at each other."Uh-oh..." muttered the crew member who informed Eleanor about the accusation earlier."What now?" Eleanor snapped, starting to get annoyed when she should have been enjoying the thrill of victory."They
"Do you know where he's being treated?" Eleanor asked one of her crew members over the phone.She walked briskly, accompanied by Ari right behind her, not too far, yet not too close to avoid collision if Eleanor suddenly stopped."Uh-huh… okay," Eleanor concluded after getting information from her crew at the rig's control centre.Her mind raced quickly; if she showed up in her too-casual attire like this, a plain shirt with jeans, she wouldn't be able to bypass the procedures in the VVIP treatment room.She headed towards the cafeteria where all the hospital visitors usually gathered. Upon arrival, her eyes scanned the room and found the target she was aiming for.A woman with a thick fur coat that looked very fake but still more effective in convincing hospital staff than her current appearance.She approached the counter and ordered a double shot of hot coffee. Her eyes never left the woman in the fake fur coat, enjoying her last bites.Eleanor leaned against a pole near the counte
