2023-06-14 14:36:10Vincent managed to find Milea in the city park. She was walking slowly and sitting on a swing near the playground where children usually play in the park. Her gaze was blank and she looked very sad. She was still thinking about the incident with her ex-boyfriend.
"Milea!" Vincent exclaimed as he approached her. Milea turned to him.
"Why can you always find me Vin?" Milea was surprised. She hurriedly wiped her tears that fell on her cheeks.
"Is my dad telling you to keep an eye on me now?" Milea guessed.
"Let's go home!" invited Vincent. He ignored Milea's question.
"I don't want to," Milea refused, looking away.
"We should go home first," Vincent persuaded. Milea did not say yes to Vincent's invitation.
"Your father is very worried about you, Milea," Vincent informed her. However, Milea did not take Vincent's word for it.
"I don't want to go home. My father has taken my place with you. Now, you are his son," Milea reasoned. However, the reasoning put forward by the spoilt child did not make sense.
Vincent's forehead furrowed into folds. "That was a long time ago. If I want to be his son, then I have to marry you first. Right now, I'm just his subordinate. You are his daughter, Milea," Vincent consoled. Milea looked away with a sardonic smile at that.
"Marry you? Ridiculous!" mocked Milea. "You don't deserve to be with me, Vin," she snapped.
"So, is a brat like that guy worthy of being your companion?" Vincent turned Milea's question around.
"I think I'm a thousand times better than him," Vincent joked. Milea smiled briefly. It was a rather wry smile.
Milea was silent for a long time. Vincent's words were true. The man who became her jerk lover really didn't deserve Milea. Vincent tried to convince Milea that she wanted to come home with him. Although it was rather difficult for Vincent to persuade her at this time.
"Let's go home! I'll take you to your father's house," Vincent said again. "How long are you going to stay here? It's a waste of time."
This time, Milea would do as Vincent said. Finally, she wanted to go back to Mr Eduardo's house. Milea straightened her clothes and make-up before entering her home. She didn't want her father to to see her very messy appearance.
Milea asked Vincent to keep the unpleasant incident a secret from Mr Eduardo. Both of them have agreed. Vincent promised Milea that he would not tell Mr Eduardo the truth.
From a distance, a black car was stalking Vincent and Milea on the side of the road. Vincent did not know that he was being watched by someone. He didn't know it. It was definitely a man. He was watching all of Vincent's movements. Including who Vincent meets and talks to.
On the other hand, there was also a mysterious man hiding in a different car. The man smiled sarcastically after seeing with his own eyes and head. Vincent was so close to Milea, Mr Eduardo's only daughter.
The man even got important information that Vincent and Milea had been matched by Mr Eduardo. It was an informant in his office who had told him. The information also mentioned that they would soon have a wedding.
"I swear I will destroy you, Vin," Edward said in the car.
After seeing Vincent and Milea's intimacy, Edward got a good idea to get back at Vincent for what his biggest rival had done to him. Edward would use Milea as a tool to destroy Vincent's life and career.
'You'll see, Vin!' Edward promised.
***
Vincent pondered all night, before he went to bed. The GPS tracking device on Milea's mobile phone could only work temporarily. When Milea's phone was deactivated, Vincent couldn't keep an eye on her continuously. There must be another solution, he thought.
Vincent thought again. He wanted to make a tracking device for Milea. Just in case one day. If she was ever out of his reach.
"I need my computer," Vincent thought. Because all the programmes he needed Vincent needed, were on his old computer.
Vincent thought of his computer that his landlady had confiscated the other day. He had to get it back immediately. Maybe tomorrow. Before she sold it to the flea market.
Knock-knock-knock!
Someone knocked on Vincent's door from outside. He got out of bed and was about to open the door.
"Mr Eduardo?" Vincent was surprised to see Milea's father standing in front of his bedroom door.
"Please come in, sir," Vincent invited.
Mr Eduardo entered Vincent's room. For the past few days, Vincent had been living in his large and luxurious house. He had never expected that Mr Eduardo would take him home to live in his house.
"Do you feel at home here?" Mr Eduardo asked Vincent, pleasantly.
Vincent smiled and thanked Mr Eduardo for being so kind to him. In that house he felt he had been well received, even in his company.
"What happened to Milea this afternoon, Vin?" Mr Eduardo changed the subject. He seemed to know something about what had happened that afternoon at his ex-girlfriend Milea's house.
Vincent tried to cover up the matter. However, he was still found out. There were many ways that Mr Eduardo could extract information about what had just happened to his daughter.
Vincent finally told Mr Eduardo the truth. Because there was no way he could hide the serious incident that happened to Mr Eduardo's daughter. The old man had a right to know.
"I'm sorry, sir," Vincent regretted. He felt so guilty for hiding Milea's problem from Mr Eduardo.
"There's no need to regret it. I just want you to watch Milea more closely. Don't let your guard down, Vin! Because danger is always around the corner," Mr Eduardo warned Vincent.
"Yes, sir. I understand," Vincent obeyed. He also lowered his gaze.
"Good job, Vin!" praised Mr Eduardo.
"May I know why you trusted me with Milea?" Vincent asked. He was very curious about Mr Eduardo's intentions.
"Vin, I can only trust you for now. I'm old and can't watch Milea all the time. That's why my daughter really needs you by her side," explained Mr Eduardo. "So, I beg you. Don't waste my trust in you," he pleaded.
Vincent understood. He would try to obey Mr Eduardo's orders as well as carry out his mandate. After a few hours of talking about Milea, Mr Eduardo left, leaving Vincent alone in his room. The night was getting late.
"How do I solve this problem? It seems like it will be difficult to handle Milea," Vincent thought somewhat confused.

In fact, she seemed to have barged into Vincent's room without permission. Suddenly, she was stopped by several security guards, right in front of Vincent's office.What's going on? Why isn't Milea allowed in? She asked in surprise. Because Alvin ordered the security guards to tighten the security around the Vice President's room."Move aside!" ordered Milea rather fiercely at the two security guards standing in front of Vincent's office door."Sorry, Miss! Young Master Vincent does not allow you to enter his office," the security guards respectfully forbade in front of Milea."What did you say?" Milea was furious.

The Billionaire Revenge Cooperation Offer
"I didn't mean it like that, Mr Eduardo," Vincent tried to explain."So you deliberately destroyed your work? Didn't you prepare a backup?" Mr Eduardo was astonished."I couldn't, sir. I had to recreate the application rather than have it end up in a mess. Besides, the programme had already been read by someone else. I don't want anyone else to know the raw programme," Vincent explained again.Mr Eduardo understood. He understood completely and was very supportive of the decision Vincent had made. According to Mr Eduardo, Vincent was too brave to take that risk. Salute to him."Vin, from now on just use my company. It will also be yours one day.

He smiled with satisfaction after hearing that Vincent would sign the agreement with his company.After contacting Edmund, Vincent went to meet the programmers that Alvin had prepared. He took a look at how the programmers worked. There was nothing doubtful at first glance. Maybe it was just Vincent's feelings. Because he was not used to working in a group. He was too comfortable working alone and was very careful in recruiting employees.The briefing began. Vincent briefly explained the concept of the marketplace programme that he would develop to the team. After the discussion, the programmers immediately occupied their respective positions. They started working. Meanwhile, he was going to meet E

Let's get straight to the topic. Coincidentally, they were discussing the arranged marriage. Perfect timing for Vincent, he thought.Milea glanced sarcastically at her fiancé-to-be. She had guessed that Vincent would do the same thing as her. Protest loudly. Because the ignorant man must have been annoyed by the sudden news."I don't think it's a rush. I've been planning it for a long time," Mr Eduardo reasoned."But sir... you know that I've been playing with projects lately," Vincent reasoned."Yes, that I know. Have you forgotten, Vin? The condition you have to fulfil for me is to marry my daughter," said Mr Eduardo, reminding Vincent again.Damn! It was true.

Lorenzo's Betrayal
“Don't be rash, Vin!” Ryuga warned.“I know. I'm not that stupid,” Vincent retorted.“So, what's your plan?” asked Ryuga.“I don't know where Kazuto got all this information? Didn't we protect the security system?” Vincent was confused.“Do you suspect someone like I think right now?” Ryuga smiled somewhat sarcastically in response to Vincent's conclusion.“I don't know. I'm not sure,” replied Vincent who was still shrouded in indecision.***At the Ryuujin-kai base, now housed in Nakamura's residence, tension filled the room as Vincent, Nakamura, Valeria, and the other clan leaders eyed Lorenzo suspiciously. Information that should have been confidential had instead leaked into Kazuto's hands, and there was only one possibility: there was a traitor among them.“Lorenzo...” Nakamura squinted, his voice sharp as a dagger ready to stab the Italian mafia man. “What exactly are you hiding from us?”Lorenzo remained calm, but there was tension in his jaw. “I don't know what you're talking
Kazuto's Overthrow Strategy
“We're changing our strategy. It looks like a trap,” Vincent concluded. After he saw Milea being held hostage by Kazuto.“In that case, we return to the headquarters at my residence. Don't act rashly since Milea is in Kazuto's hands right now.” Nakamura agreed. He quickly turned right and returned to the base.Inside the room was dimly lit, illuminated only by the bluish glow of a large computer screen transmitting a digital map of the harbour. The subtle hum of the electronics combined with the sound of Lorenzo's fingers tapping on the keyboard. The smell of stale coffee and metal filled the air around them, adding to the sense of tension that hung between them.Vincent stood with both hands resting on the desk, his jaw hardened as he stared at the screen. His eyes were sharp, full of anxiety that he tried to hide.“How's it going, Vin?” asked Ryuga.“We don't have much time,” Vincent said finally, his voice that of someone under stress. “Kazuto knows we're after him, and now he has
Creating Hell for Kazuto
“Welcome, Vin,” greeted Lorenzo, who was now leaning on the table with a sly smile of satisfaction. “You really know how to make a scene, Vin.”Next to him, Valeria crossed her legs with a small grin. “I was expecting you to come, Vin. You're... too stubborn,” the mafia lady remarked.Vincent snorted, no longer surprised to see them all here. Lorenzo, Valeria, and Nakamura. The three figures who had been a thorn in his side, it turned out they were all in cahoots behind the scenes.Nakamura, who was standing by the window, finally spoke up. “I knew you'd find this place, Vin.” He turned around, his gaze sharp. “Do you miss your wife that much?”Vincent took a deep breath before answering, “I don't care about your games. I don't care about what you've been planning all along. But there is one enemy we must conquer.”The room fell silent for an instant. “And I know you all also want to see Kazuto fall.”Among the three people, only Lorenzo responded to Vincent's conversation. It was cer
Counterattack from the Allies
In an underground bunker hidden in the city centre, Vincent stood still. He always found a place for himself to hide from both Lorenzo and the Ryuujin-kai.“I was their target from the start. Damn it!” Vincent threw everything around him in annoyance.The blue light of the computer screens around him flickered, clearly drawing the image on his tense face. A message that had just appeared on the screen was still glowing, the letters feeling like a blow that shattered his wall of faith. Behind it was a special symbol that reminded him of a name. Kazuto.[Give up, Vin!]“That symbol is ....”His hands gripped the table firmly, his breathing short and rather heavy. No way. Kazuto was already dead. He saw for himself the explosion that destroyed the laboratory where they were studying all those years ago. However, if Kazuto was really alive...The sound of footsteps quickly approached Vincent. His assistant appeared from behind the door with a serious expression.“Sir, we have a problem. T
Back to Starting Point
“Ryuga, I can't run anymore,” Milea complained. Her chest still felt tight.“Does your breathing hurt?” Ryuga panicked after seeing his cousin's pale face. He knew full well Milea was still sick. The shortness of breath caused by the poisonous gas made her weak and unable to run.“I'll get help,” said Ryuga, who immediately called someone.Blood was pouring from Ryuga's temple, but he didn't care. His breathing was ragged, his left hand still tightly grasping the arm of Milea who was now breathlessly running by his side. Behind them, the roar of footsteps was getting closer, the sound of shouting and the whizzing of bullets echoed in the dark hallway they were passing through.“Looks like we still have some running to do, Milea! Are you up to it?” asked Ryuga before pulling her faster.Milea was still clutching around her chest, barely able to catch her breath. Her body was already very tired, her heart racing in panic from the pursuit of Lorenzo's men. However, she knew that they had
Shadows of the Past
“Vin, where are you?” Milea woke up from her sleep. She looked around, there was no one in the hospital room.Milea began to feel uncomfortable in the hospital. Her every move was being closely monitored, and the nurses who came into her room felt unfamiliar, as if they weren't just ordinary medical personnel. Her instincts told her there was danger lurking.“Who are they?” muttered Milea. She had to be wary of strangers.“Excuse me, is my husband here?” she asked the nurse.“No, Madam,” the nurse replied.Milea didn't ask any more questions. She knew Vincent was probably very busy out there. She would wait for him, if necessary she would stay up late into the night.That night, when the hospital seemed quiet, a man snuck into her room. Milea was startled, about to scream, but he quickly put his hand over her mouth.“Calm down, Milea. I'm here to help you,” he whispered.Milea looked at him warily. “Ryuga?”The man smiled faintly. “Yes. Your cousin came to rescue you.”Milea smiled sa
Fragile Enemy Alliances
“Hold on, we'll be at the hospital soon,” Vincent told Milea, who had just woken up from her stupor. Milea's body condition was very weak due to inhaling too much poisonous gas.Milea's breathing was laboured. “Vin, hurry up!”Vincent stepped deeply on the accelerator, his car travelling faster than ever before, cutting through the city streets that seemed indifferent to his panic. On the side seat, Milea was still breathing heavily, her fingers gripping Vincent's arm with all the strength she had left.“Vin ....” Her breathing was heavy, her eyes were wide, and her face looked deathly pale. The poisonous gas that Milea had inhaled had made her body seem to rebel.“We're almost there!” Vincent shouted, his voice full of anxiety.Up ahead, the red light was already on, but Vincent didn't care. The horns of other cars roared angrily, but to him only one thing mattered: his wife had to be safe. He turned the car roughly, the wheels screeching when he finally reached the hospital grounds.
The Secret Trail in Italy
The next day, Vincent embarks on a dangerous journey to Italy. He wants to uncover the truth that has been hidden behind the long conflict involving his father and Lorenzo Piero.There, Vincent meets a secretive old friend of his father's, an elderly man named Alessandro Moretti. He had obtained the man's personal data from a system he had been investigating. With a sharp look in his eyes, Alessandro warns Vincent that Lorenzo is just a puppet in a bigger game.“Be careful, son!” Alessandro admonished. “There is someone behind the scenes, someone more dangerous than you can imagine,” the man added again, this time in a low voice.Vincent frowned. “Who is that person, Sir?” he wondered, curious.Alessandro sighed rather heavily. “They call him Kurokami, the shadow of Ryuujin-kai. No one knows his face, but every mess, every murder, always ends with his name whispered in the attack.”“Kurokami?” repeated Vincent with a confused murmur. ‘Does it have something to do with Nakamura?’“Yes,
Welcome to the End Game
“Who are they and what do they have to do with me, with all this?” Vincent was confused. He was overwhelmed as he pulled out the threads that connected the names of the mafia on the whiteboard.“Milea, hang on a little longer,” said Vincent, who was still fiddling with his laptop.Vincent's phone rang. He glanced at it. Lorenzo's name was calling out on his screen. Shit! He thought.“Vin, where are you?” asked Lorenzo on the other line.Vincent said nothing, not wanting to tell Lorenzo where he was. He also changed the subject.“Tell your ex-wife, if she hurts my wife... I'll kill her,” Vincent threatened.“What do you mean?” Lorenzo had no idea what Vincent was talking about.“Valeria Del Piero, she's... your ex-wife, right?” said Vincent.Lorenzo was silent for a long time. Finally, Vincent hung up first. Now, Vincent knew Lorenzo's only weakness.***“Shit!” Milea complained. She held her breath as she stood in the corner of the dimly lit room. Her heart was racing, holding somethi
