After an hour of trying, they decided to rest and eat the food that Lola prepared for them.It is a club sandwich and orange juice. While they were busy eating the sandwich, a knock on the door interrupted them. Paxton quickly announced to open the door and Lola entered the room.“What kind of photo are you looking for, young master?” Lola asked.They both stopped chewing their food as soon as they saw what Lola was holding. She was holding photo albums! Quickly, Paxton took in all the sandwiches inside of his mouth and walked towards Lola. “Careful, young master. You should chew your food first!”But he didn’t listen.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Oppose.PAXTON decided to go home that night to see Lorelei. Although he was really exhausted, he’s ready to talk to Lorelei, and listen to her rants. But then, his expectations didn't happen when he finally opened the door to their room. She’s now sleeping soundly. After sighing, he took off his coat together with his shoes and socks before he continued to their bed. As soon as he lay down beside Lorelei, he looked at her and stared at her for a while.He loves Lorelei, he couldn't deny it anymore. But the fact that she might get involved in all of these and she might get hurt, that's what he was afraid of.

Chapter Sixty-Three: Not Competitive.FOR a moment, Sylvester was stunned at his question. It seemed like he was finding the right answer to the question that he simply asked. It wasn’t like his godfather, he was quick-minded and always answers questions without hesitation, but now, he wondered…“I was just worried about you. You survived the death, you should live the life that was given to you and not live just for revenge. Your wife was worried about you. Instead of getting revenge, why not build a family with Lorelei and start to renew life, leaving everything in the past? Paxton, you didn’t know what will happen to you in the near future, you even got comatose for six months.”Pressing his lips, he understands what he was pointing out. While looking through Sylvester’s eyes, he can see that he was just worried, like a father figure. But then, Paxton doesn’t know why he couldn’t feel it. It seems like everything that Sylvester was saying was just an act, it was so cold…“I can do
Chapter Sixty-Four: Something Odd.WILLIAM couldn’t move for a while after receiving such a hurtful word from his Uncle. It was his first time hearing him tell him something like that and it hurts. His Uncle always told him how good he was for obeying any of his suggestions and advice, so he wasn’t used to hearing this kind of word.“I apologize, Uncle… I thought—”“Nah, don’t bother to create an explanation because I know how incompetent you are. Anyway, suggest releasing the commercial once the stocks became lower…”William knew that his Uncle has been pulling tricks on the company whenever they are releasing commercials, new products, or new offers to the market, but now he was surprised by what he said.“What do you mean, Uncle?”“The stock market will be down tomorrow, but don’t worry. We just have to pull some strings and it will be back to normal.”“Uncle, don’t you think it’s too risky? You are not the chairman now, it’s Paxton…”“William, Paxton is the current chairman but th
Chapter Sixty-Five: Greedy. A BLACK formal expensive business suit dressed Paxton in this kind of occasion. Today, he was getting ready for the meeting despite the fact that he has no backup plan. Because of what happened yesterday, he was occupied. He couldn’t come up with an idea on what to do. Even what Sylvester will do today, he couldn’t figure it out. “You seemed occupied,” Lorelei said. He turned his head to his wife and saw her wearing a pink formal attire that she usually wear. “Nothing, I was just thinking about the meeting later,” he replied. “Your business suit… you’re always wearing it. Should we buy new suits and clothes this Sunday?” A smile curved Lorelei’s lips as she started to tie his neck tie. “Sure, that’s a great idea. I haven’t been in a date with you so I hope it would be a date.” Paxton smiled back and lowered his head to plant a soft kiss on her lips. “Alright, that will be a date.” Lorelei looked forward to that date because they weren’t able to date
Chapter Sixty-Six: Arrested.ALTHOUGH William was hurt by what his Uncle told him last night, he still believe that he would trust him with the company because of his loyalty and obedience.

But then, all of his hopes fell apart the moment he announces that he will take over the chairman position again. That he will stay in his position until there’s someone who can prove that they’re worthy of that position.Damn, it hurts his pride. William almost kisses his feet just to prove that he is worthy but his Uncle couldn’t see that. And his mother was getting mad over it.“I’ve done enough, Mom… why can’t he see my efforts?” he whispered. While looking up at his Uncle who was raising up his chin while talking to the board of directors.“You’re not doing enough, William. Because if you do, then you are now in front of them.”He clenched his fists as his body started to tre
Chapter Sixty-Seven: His Fault.PAXTON hasn’t stood up yet when the man quickly kicks him. He rushed towards him and flash a punch on his right cheek making him feel dizzy. It was painful, but it was nothing because he had experienced worse than this. He let him punch him wherever and however he wants but he wouldn’t let him damage the part of his body where he was vulnerable the most. Until the man stopped. “Look at you! That’s what you get from disrespecting me!” he yelled.He spit blood, and while still coughing, he tried to lift his head to see the face of this man who he had already encountered before. Of course, he’s a Boss of a Mafia Organization and this man in front of him is a run man of his enemy. “Are you done?” he asked, smirking.Although he has a lot of bruises in his face and he also has cut on his eyebrow and lips, he doesn’t care. Nothing could beat his experiences for the last eleven years.“What the fuck are you talking about? It’s still not enough for you? Then
