As Cordelia announced her plans to go out with Raymond, Rose's expression shifted. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a frown crept across her face. The news seemed to catch her off guard, and her immediate reaction was one of jealousy.

Marshall nodded and said, "Oh, you're going out with Raymond? It's good, I'm glad to see you two trying to get along with each other."

Cordelia opened her mouth, about to clarify that there was nothing going on between her and Raymond, but then she paused. Instead, she held back her response, deciding it was best to keep the conversation light for now.

Rhoda, who had been observing the exchange, decided it was a good moment to extend an olive branch. She reached out her hand toward Cordelia and said, "Cordelia, I want to apologize for the argument last night. Things got heated, and I know we both said things we didn't mean. I hope you can forgive me."

Marshall joined in, nodding in agreement. "Yes, Cordelia. We may have overstepped, and for that, we apolo

    He went to his closet and selected a stylish leather belt to match his outfit. "I have to make a good impression. I know she's a strong and independent woman, but maybe I can win her over today."Next, he picked up a pair of polished brown loafers and slipped them on. "Cordelia's going to love what I've planned for us today! And maybe she'll see me in a different light."Raymond added a spritz of his favorite cologne for a fresh, clean scent. He checked his reflection in the mirror, making sure everything was just right."Everything looks perfect! This is going to be the start of something amazing!" Raymond said confidently to himself as he grabbed his car keys and walked out of the house. Raymond entered the hall, where he saw his family already preparing to leave for the day. His father, Jacob, and his sister, Shulamite, were getting ready to head to the office.Jacob took a moment to admire Raymond's appearance and complimented him on his nice dressing. "Looking sharp, son! You've

    The butler laughed gently, thinking Cordelia might be joking when she said the Hansen family is nothing compared to Benjamin's wealth. "I believe you. Anyway, take care of yourself. Be careful with Raymond; he's known for being a ladies' prey."Cordelia smirked confidently. "Don't worry, I'll handle him myself."The butler placed a gentle hand on Cordelia's cheek. "You are just like your mom, Cordelia. Your beauty, your temperament, your anger, your smile, and your laughter—you're a carbon copy of her.”Cordelia nodded in acknowledgment. "It's sad I have nothing left to remind me of them. My uncle already burnt all their belongings."The butler shook his head gently. "Don't worry. When you return, I have a surprise for you. You'll love it."Cordelia smiled playfully. "Oh, I'll see what an old man like you can surprise me with."The butler smiled warmly at Cordelia's playful remark. "You'd be surprised, my dear," he said with a twinkle in his eye. "Age comes with experience, and experie

    "This is Nyhavn," Raymond replied with a smile. "It's one of the most iconic spots in Copenhagen. It's known for its picturesque canal, lined with bright, old houses from the 17th and 18th centuries. There's a lot of history here, and it's a great place to take a stroll, enjoy the cafes, and just soak in the atmosphere. Let's get down and take a look.”Cordelia nodded in agreement, intrigued by the beauty of the place. They both got out of the car and began walking along the canal.As Raymond and Cordelia stepped out of the car to enjoy the beautiful scene of Nyhavn, the two guards in the black SUV also exited their vehicle.The guards were dressed in smart, dark suits that complemented their imposing physiques. They had matching sunglasses. From where Cordelia stood, she could see the row of colorful townhouses reflecting in the calm water of the canal, creating a stunning and vibrant scene. The boats docked along the canal added a touch of nautical charm to the area. People were wa

    Cordelia, seeing that she had no choice, followed him and got out of the car as well. They entered the large mall, and though Cordelia was initially reluctant, she eventually embraced the shopping experience.Together, they bought a variety of items, including clothing, accessories, and other gifts. As they moved through the mall, Raymond's excitement seemed to be infectious, and Cordelia began to enjoy the process.After they finished their shopping trip, they returned to the car, their hands full of shopping bags. In the car, Raymond sighed and said, "I brought you shopping to buy things for you, but you paid for your own things."Cordelia nodded and said, "Sorry, but I wouldn't want you to buy things for me when there's nothing between us. It's not a big deal.""Nothing between us? At least are we not friends?" he asked.Cordelia looked out the window and responded, "Can you please keep driving?”Raymond nodded, a little annoyed, and continued to drive, leaving the conversation ha

    As the waitress walked away, Raymond shifted in his seat to face Cordelia more directly. He leaned forward slightly, trying to catch her eye."So, what do you think about the tour today?" he asked, a hint of anticipation in his voice. "Did you enjoy the boat ride? I thought you might like it, especially with the beautiful views of the city.”Cordelia nodded politely. "It was nice," she said, keeping her responses short.Raymond smiled and continued, "I thought it would be a great way to show you around. The city has changed so much since you last left, and there are so many places to see."Cordelia nodded again, though she seemed less enthusiastic about continuing the conversation.Raymond noticed her reserved demeanor and tried a different approach. "So, what's been your favorite part of the trip so far?" he asked, hoping to engage her more.Cordelia paused for a moment before answering. "The boat ride was nice," she said, her tone neutral. "And the city has definitely changed a lot.

    Raymond was stunned by her reaction and tried to stop her. "Cordelia, wait!" he called out, reaching out toward her.Cordelia turned on him with a fierce glare. "If you touch me, you'll regret it," she warned, her tone full of anger and determination. Raymond froze, taken aback by her strong response.Cordelia walked away from the restaurant, leaving Raymond standing there in disbelief. Once she was outside, she quickly took out her phone and called her butler, asking for a car to come and pick her up. She sent her live location to ensure the driver knew exactly where to find her.Raymond, still taken aback by Cordelia's strong reaction, quickly got up from his seat and followed her outside. He called out her name as he hurried after her, trying to catch up. "Cordelia, wait! Please, let's talk about this!" he pleaded, hoping to stop her from leaving.As they stepped outside the restaurant, Raymond continued to plead with her. "You don't have to go. Please, let me explain," he said. "

    The butler chuckled softly at Cordelia's question. "Oh, you know I have business to take care of. Shouldn't I look dashing?" he responded, a playful twinkle in his eye.Cordelia stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him in a warm hug. "Oh, my grandpa, you look so fashionable! Don't tell me you've gotten one grandma you're seeing," she teased, her eyes sparkling with humor.The butler chuckled and gently patted her back. "Stop playing," he said with a smile. "I have something for you. Let's go to my place.”"Really? Oh, is it the surprise you talked about?" Cordelia asked, her excitement evident."Yes, it is," the butler confirmed, nodding.Cordelia nodded enthusiastically and slipped on her slippers, preparing to follow him. She locked her door behind her and then followed him down the stairsSoon they got to Butler place and he opened the door and they entered the quarters.

    As Cordelia looked through the old photographs, she couldn't help but be overcome with a mix of emotions. Memories she had thought lost forever came rushing back as she studied each picture."Look at this one!" she exclaimed, holding up a photo of herself as a young girl blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, surrounded by her parents and the butler. "I remember this day! I was so excited about that cake—Mom made it herself. We were so happy that day.”She picked up another photo, this one showing her and her father playing in the backyard. "I forgot how much fun we used to have together," she said, a bittersweet smile on her face. "He would chase me around for hours."Cordelia's voice softened as she picked up a picture of her mother teaching her how to cook in the kitchen. "Mom was always so patient with me. She taught me how to make her special dishes.”As she continued to look through the photos, she pointed out several that included the butler alongside her parents and her

    One of the officers adjusted his cap and asked, “Has it been 24 hours since he went missing?”Rudra shook his head, his frustration evident. “Not yet. But at the very least, they should have called by now—something, anything.” His voice was laced with unease, his mind struggling to make sense of the situation.The officer gave a reassuring nod. “Don’t worry, Mr. Stone. We’ll begin our investigation right away. We already have their pictures, which will make it much easier to track them down.”Rose exhaled shakily, gripping Rudra’s arm, while he gave the officers a curt nod. “Alright then. We trust you to find him.”The officers exchanged a glance before stepping out, their expressions turning serious as they walked toward their patrol car.As soon as they left, Rose turned to Rudra, her hands trembling. “What if—”Rudra cupped her face gently. “No what-ifs, Rose. We’ll find him. I promise you, everything will be fine.”She swallowed hard, nodding despite the fear in her eyes, holding

    Moments later, Rose Stone opened the door, her brows furrowing in concern. “Is something wrong?” she asked.Collins gestured toward the garage. “Mrs. Stone, I noticed you have a security camera outside. Does it record activity in the driveway or the street?”Rose’s expression brightened slightly as if a small glimmer of hope had sparked. “Yes, it should. We have a surveillance system installed. It records continuously.”Parker stepped forward. “Would it be possible to review the footage? It might give us a clue as to when your son left and if anyone else was in the area at the time.”“Of course,” Rose said quickly, opening the door wider. “Rudra! The officers need to see the security footage!”A moment later, Rudra Stone appeared in the foyer, his phone still in hand. “The footage? From the camera?” he asked, glancing between the officers and his wife.“Yes, Mr. Stone,” Collins replied. “It could be a critical lead. If your son left the house from this driveway, the footage might show

    Rudra’s response came swiftly. “Police? That’s not right. We don’t even know if something serious has happened.”“I’m telling you, Rudra,” Rose said firmly, “something feels off. I’ve tried all of his friends, and none of them have heard from him either. We need to file a missing person’s report.”Rudra paused. She could almost picture him pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “Rose, please. Let’s give it a little more time. You know how the police can be—once they start asking questions, it becomes a whole incident. He might just come waltzing in later tonight, laughing at us for worrying.”Rose’s voice tightened. “And what if that doesn’t happen? I don’t care about the inconvenience. My son could be in danger!”A tense silence crackled between them. Finally, Rudra spoke, quieter this time. “Alright. I’ll head home as soon as I can so we can discuss it together.”An hour later, the familiar rumble of Rudra Stone’s car pulling into the driveway echoed through the house. Rose q

    “I was just—” Maverick swallowed hard. “I said that to Brianna because… because I wanted her attention. I made it up. I swear! I didn’t think it’d get back to you!”Austin glanced at his brother, a flicker of frustration dancing in his eyes. He didn’t buy it. “You expect us to believe you’d throw around a rumor like that for no reason?”Maverick clenched his fists behind his back, the rope digging into his wrists. “I—had issues with Benjamin before,” he admitted, voice trembling. “But I wouldn’t do anything to him. I’m not a killer. You have to believe me.”Matthew let go of Maverick’s chin, straightening up. He exchanged a look with Austin, who ran a hand through his hair in exasperation. The same dead end, over and over.“You keep saying that,” Austin muttered, pacing in a small circle. “But Benjamin’s missing, possibly dead, and you’re the only lead we’ve got. You’d better come up with something.”“I can’t give you what I don’t have,” Maverick pleaded, breathing heavily, his waterl

    Benjamin glanced at Cipherella, a subtle smile tugging at his lips. “Your hacking will also give us access to incriminating data. If you can tap into phone records, emails—anything tying Darnell to political figures or top officials—we’ll use that as leverage. The more dirt we have, the more isolated he becomes.” “We want to scare off corrupt politicians and bankers who enable him. When they realize we can expose them, they’ll abandon Darnell to protect themselves. That weakens his connections even more.” “While we’re dismantling Darnell’s network,” Benjamin said, nodding at Abdelkarim, “we place you front and center, building alliances with smaller gangs or influential locals who hate Darnell. Show them there’s a better alternative.” “Meanwhile, Cipherella will manage intel—gathering contact info, forging secure communication channels, and ensuring Darnell doesn’t learn too much about us.” “Eventually, we’ll lure him to a vulnerable position—somewhere away from his heavily guarded

    Abdelkarim smiled proudly, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction at the selection. “This, master, is Fatteh,” he said, pointing to the large bowl of creamy yogurt sauce layered over crispy pita bread, chickpeas, and a golden drizzle of ghee, topped with pine nuts and fresh parsley. He moved his finger to the next dish. “And this is Kibbeh, spiced lamb wrapped in bulgur and fried to a crispy perfection.” Next, he gestured toward a sizzling plate of skewers. “Shish Tawook, tender chicken marinated in garlic, lemon, and paprika, served with flatbread,” he explained, the warm scent of grilled meat filling the space. To his left, a bowl of Mujadara caught Benjamin’s eye—earthy lentils and rice topped with caramelized onions. Abdelkarim pointed at it. “That’s Mujadara. Simple, but hearty and full of flavor.” He then reached for a bowl of hummus and Baba Ghanoush. “And these are two of our staples—Hummus, made from chickpeas and tahini, and Baba Ghanoush, a smoky eggplant dip,” he said, his p

    The rugged man clenched his fists, his pride warring with his fear. “You can’t be serious,” he hissed, his voice barely above a whisper.Abdelkarim cocked the gun audibly, tilting his head. “Do I look like I’m joking?”Reluctantly, the rugged man lowered himself to his knees, the humiliation evident on his face. His companions followed suit, each moving with visible hesitation. The restaurant’s patrons and staff watched in stunned silence, their eyes wide as they bore witness to the surreal scene.One of the men reached for Abdelkarim’s shoe, his hand shaking as he wiped at it with his sleeve. Abdelkarim smirked, glancing down at their feeble attempts. “Pathetic,” he muttered. “Put some effort into it.”As the men continued their reluctant task, Abdelkarim’s tone turned colder. “Now, let’s add some respect to the mix. Each of you will address me properly while you’re down there.”The rugged man looked up, his face twisted with fury and shame. “What do you mean?”Abdelkarim leaned in s

    The room fell into an eerie silence, the earlier chatter and laughter evaporating like smoke. All eyes were on Abdelkarim, who stood tall with the gun firmly in his grasp. Even the rugged man who had slapped him seemed caught off guard, his eyes widening in a mix of disbelief and anger.Benjamin, who had been calmly observing moments earlier, straightened in his seat, his sharp gaze narrowing as he assessed the situation. He hadn't anticipated this escalation, and for a fleeting moment, his surprise flickered across his face. Cipherella, sitting beside him, froze, her lips parting slightly as her eyes darted between Abdelkarim and the scarred man.The tension was palpable. The rugged man pushed his chair back slightly, his hands clenching into fists as if ready to retaliate. His companions, who had been laughing moments ago, now looked uneasy, their confidence shaken."You think this is funny?" Abdelkarim said, his voice steady, but the undercurrent of anger was unmistakable. He point

    The room went tense as Abdelkarim froze, his gaze darting nervously to the man’s threatening expression. Around them, a few other patrons glanced over.Cipherella’s delicate brows furrowed with concern as she leaned closer to Benjamin, her voice barely above a whisper. "Master, they’re trying to bully him," she said, her eyes darting between Abdelkarim and the rugged man.Benjamin didn’t respond immediately. His sharp gaze remained fixed on the scene, observing every detail—the posture of the men, Abdelkarim’s unease, and the simmering tension in the air. Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Let’s just watch for now.”"But Master—" Cipherella started, her worry evident."Relax," Benjamin interrupted gently, his tone calm but firm. "Let’s see how he handles himself first. If things go too far, I’ll step in."Cipherella hesitated, but she trusted Benjamin’s judgment.
