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.

The Enemy Behind the Mask
In a dark harbour area filled with tall containers. It was raining heavily, making the ground slippery and the air filled with the smell of sea salt.Milea's quick steps echoed as she ran between the containers. Her breathing was now ragged, the black shadows of armed men looming over her every move. Her heart was racing, fear haunting every breath. However, she could handle it because she was used to being chased by criminals.Milea had a bad feeling since Vincent left home in a hurry without telling her. She knew why he left secretly. It was because Vincent didn't want Milea to get involved again.“Don't let her get away!” shouted one of his pursuers.Milea jumped over a wooden box and rolled into the back of a container. Her body was already soaking wet. She pressed her back against the metal wall, hearing the heavy steps getting closer. Quickly, she slipped further into the dark, narrow passage. She tried not to make a sound as she hid the
A Trusted Informant
Without hesitation, Ryuga burst through the burning door, even though his hands and face were beginning to burn from the overwhelming heat. His eyes were focused on only one thing-Milea.“Ryuga... hurry...!” Milea was terrified.Ryuga saw Milea falling in the corner of the room, blocked by a partially burnt table. Wasting no time, he ran towards Milea and picked her up. However, the flames were getting closer, and several burning wooden beams fell between them, blocking the way out.“Hold on a little longer, Milea! I'll get you out!”Milea, who had already lost a lot of energy, could barely hold on. Her body was shivering, her face was pale, and her eyes were starting to blur as the smoke obscured her vision. Plus, her leg was injured.Ryuga held Milea's hand, clasped it tightly, and tried to calm himself down. The smoke was getting thicker, and the sound of the raging fire was choking the air. In that very critical conditio
Key in the Dark
Milea struggled alone with all her strength. The narrow walls of the room where she was kept felt like a cold iron cage. She pushed her body towards the small window, trying to pry open the tightly fitted steel trellis, but her efforts were in vain. Her legs were still hurting, and she couldn't walk if she tried.“There must be a way out of here,” she hissed, biting her lip as frustration crept into her mind.Milea twisted her body, her eyes scanning every corner for an opening. However, the security designed by her uncle, Nakamura, was too tight. Hidden cameras watched every move, and the electronic locks on the doors were impossible to penetrate without proper access.Nakamura, a man with a cold and calculating aura, stood in the control room on the other side of the building. Beside him, Ryuga-his son and leading member of the Ryuujin-kai-was watching the monitor screen with a gaze full of turbulent emotions.“You're being too hard on
A War that Starts in the Family
Vincent's eyes widened in surprise as his tablet lit up with running codes, emitting a cold blue light in the dark room. The basement where he was hiding suddenly felt more cramped. The sound of footsteps echoed above his head-they were getting closer, he thought.“Milea, hang on!” Vincent was still trying to crack the secret code that seemed to be getting harder and harder to crack.There was a sound from the earphones in his ears. Lorenzo's heavy, hateful voice infiltrated his mind like poison.“How does it feel, Vin? Being the son of a traitor?” asked a chuckling Lorenzo on the other side of the encrypted communication.“Shut up! You know nothing about my father,” Vincent hissed, his fingers dancing over the keyboard at lightning speed. He was trying to crack the final access code that would open a way out of the digital trap Lorenzo had set.Vincent had thought that it was Ryuga who had set the trap. He was wrong, it was Lorenzo's decoy. There was a possibility that Ryuga had take
The Game of Revenge
Vincent was furious. He couldn't wait any longer to see Milea suffer being kept there.“I have to save her!” Vincent insisted.Darkness enveloped the narrow hallway as Vincent ducked into the shadows, his breath held, ears attuned to the sound of each approaching step. The sound of boots treading the concrete floor echoed in the distance. His skilful hand pressed a small button on his wrist, and a blue holographic display lit up, mapping out the security path he was travelling.Every second felt like a needle, reminding him that time was ticking and Milea was still under threat.Vincent punched the large metal door with his fingertips, hacking the lock panel with a code he had spent weeks learning. The door opened slowly, revealing a dimly lit room. The sound of humming electricity greeted him, followed by the glow of white light emanating from a row of giant monitors on the wall.On each screen, Milea's face is clearly displayed. Her eyes are open, full of fear, while her body is tie
Invisible Networks
The silent night was broken by the soft sound of fingers tapping on a keyboard. In a darkened room with only the blue light of the monitor shining on his face, Vincent focussed all his attention on the scrolling lines of code on the screen.Vincent was shocked. As it turned out, Ryuujin-kai's cyber defence system was far more sophisticated than he had ever penetrated before, full of digital traps and firewalls that seemed to be alive, trying to catch intruders.“C'mon... it's almost done,” Vincent muttered as he quickened his hand.Red dots appeared in the corner of the monitor screen of the computer Vincent was using, signalling that the system had begun to sense his presence. He didn't care. This wasn't about stealing information-it was about finding the core of the enemy's power.With bated breath, Vincent bypassed the last layer of encryption. A secret directory began to open. Inside, a folder labelled ‘Operation Ryujin-Lorenzo’ caught his eye. He typed in the command to access th
Dangerous Choice
Vincent stared intently at the old photo that Milea had just given him. He scanned the photo until it appeared on the monitor screen. His hand trembled as he touched the screen, enlarging the blurry image.Next to a faintly smiling Lorenzo, stood a man with sharp eyes and a solid jaw who was presumed to be Uncle Peter, the man who was thought to have disappeared without a trace. The small dragon tattoo on the man's wrist was an undeniable sign. Vincent's eyes blinked, as if trying to reject the reality that was laid out before him.“This is impossible,” Vincent murmured, his voice a little hoarse between the shock and fear that began to cloud his mind.Milea sat beside her husband, clasping his hand tightly, her eyes full of determination and old wounds reopened.“He's involved, Vin. Lorenzo knows something about Uncle Peter's disappearance in the past. I'm sure of it,” Milea said, her voice trembling.Vincent took a deep breath, his mind racing for a solution. With forced calm, he lo
Shadow Tracks
The last bullet hit the concrete wall next to Vincent, splattering dust that blocked his view for a moment. Quickly, he pulled Milea behind the metal container that was beginning to fill with bullet holes.“They've surrounded us,” Vincent whispered in a tense tone, his hand clutching the gun with only a few bullets left.Luckily, Vincent had anticipated this before they escaped. “Then where should we go?” asked Milea.Milea, breathing heavily, pressed on her wound that was beginning to bleed. She accidentally stepped on a piece of broken glass and hurt her left leg. All around them, the enemy's footsteps approached, a sharp Japanese voice could be heard giving execution orders.Then, in the distance, the roar of a large vehicle rumbled, followed by the sound of heavy gunfire that broke the night. An armoured truck slammed into the iron fence blocking the entrance, widening the eyes of the pursuers. The back door swung open, and out stepped several heavily armed men who opened precisio
The Faceless War
After receiving this warning, Vincent tried to protect his wife Milea with all his might. He knew she was in danger and could be their next target. For him, it was too risky.The night in Santorini, which was usually calm, now began to feel tense. There was no longer the peace of their honeymoon. The dark sky stretched above them as Vincent and Milea stood at the edge of the pier, the sea breeze carrying a salty scent that stung their noses.The flashing lights of the small town in the distance were only a faint backdrop to the shadow of menace that was beginning to creep into their lives. Milea looked at the island that was to be their honeymoon spot with a wistful gaze.“We can stay here while looking for another way....” Milea's voice was almost a whisper, as if trying to maintain the calm that was beginning to crumble.Vincent grasped his wife's hand tightly, his face full of unwavering determination. “It's too late. They know where we are now.”Milea turned to Vincent with tears
