The opening day of the Celestial Haven Hotel finally arrived. The clear sky and fresh air accompanied this long-awaited event. The grand hotel stood elegantly in the middle of the city, exuding luxury with its elegant facade and stunning decor. In the main hall, high-profile guests began to arrive, dressed in their best attire, ready to enjoy this special occasion.Asher stood near the main entrance, wearing a neat black suit with a dark blue tie. He smiled warmly at each arriving guest, but his eyes were fixed on Aberon, who was also busy greeting important guests with skill.Aberon, with his charismatic appearance, moved swiftly among the guests, ensuring everything was running smoothly. Asher admired his father's charisma and authority."Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Stellee. Thank you for coming," Aberon said, shaking hands with an elderly couple known as prominent real estate entrepreneurs.Asher felt relieved seeing Aberon help manage the situation well. He stepped into the hall adorned

The night that was supposed to be perfect began to show signs of disturbance when suddenly the lights in the main hall flickered, causing a small commotion among the guests. Asher, still standing on the balcony with Alicia, immediately noticed the problem. He looked towards Kailos, who quickly moved to address the situation inside."What's wrong with the lights?" Alicia asked with a worried tone.Asher shook his head, trying to stay calm. "I don't know, but I'm sure Kailos will handle it."However, the problem didn't stop there. A few minutes later, the sound system used for background music started to crackle and screech, making some guests cover their ears. Asher felt the tension rising around him. He knew that this issue could damage the reputation of the newly opened hotel.Asher immediately walked back into the hall, looking for Kailos, who was busy dealing with problems around. He found him near the stage, talking to a technician."Kailos, what's happening?" Asher asked urgently

Asher arrived at the mansion at midnight, his body exhausted but his mind still racing with the events of the evening. His steps slowed as he saw Luciana, his mother, still awake.Luciana had changed into black satin pajamas that reached her ankles. Her graceful face looked calm but full of concern."Asher, you're finally home," Luciana greeted softly, her eyes filled with concern.Asher could only manage a faint smile, feeling the weight of his fatigue. Luciana approached, framing Asher's face with her hands, then led him to the living room. Asher’s exhaustion slowly dissipated with the gentle touch and presence of his mother. He followed her steps, walking slowly. Luciana’s graceful movements provided a sense of calm in Asher's mind.After sitting on the plush sofa, Asher looked at Luciana with curiosity. "Mom, you haven’t slept yet?"Luciana shook her head slightly, her smile warm. "I can't sleep until you’re back home. I know the project you're working on is a continuation of your

Asher descended the carved staircase, his steps steady yet hurried. The aroma of fresh coffee greeted his senses, but that wasn't what was on his mind at the moment. Before heading to the office, there was something important he needed to address.In the dining room, Wilson, the loyal butler and right-hand man of his late father, was preparing breakfast, assisting the other servants. His hair, slightly graying, added a wise aura to his calm face. Seeing Asher approach, Wilson paused his activities and greeted Asher with a warm smile."Asher, good morning. Have you had breakfast?" Wilson asked in a gentle yet attentive tone.Asher shook his head, his eyes reflecting concern. "Morning, Wilson. There's something I need to talk about. For some reason, I haven't felt at ease lately. I want to arrange for some security. I have a feeling something isn't right."Wilson furrowed his brow, his expression turning serious. "I understand, Asher. Security is always a priority. I suggest Joseph as y

Asher continued to work with unwavering determination, even though the day was filled with pressure. The meeting about the stalled real estate project with Mr. Jonathan was heated. The discussion shifted to the opening of the hotel, which initially did not go well. The atmosphere grew tenser when his uncle, William, deliberately brought up the previous night's events."So, Asher," William said with a sneer, "how are you going to handle the fallout from that disastrous hotel opening? The guests must be talking about it."Asher stared sharply at his uncle, his eyes full of determination. "We have addressed all the issues and ensured that such an incident won't happen again. Our focus now is on providing the best service to our guests."William smirked, satisfied with sowing a bit of doubt in the room. Asher restrained himself from responding further, choosing to remain calm.After the meeting ended, Asher loosened his tie and leaned back in his grand chair. His eyes gazed far away, refl

Sure enough, Asher received an invitation from the university where he had studied. He was invited as an honorary guest at the graduation ceremony for the class of 23 at his university. The invitation was conveyed that morning, just as Asher was putting on a formal black suit. Kailos had informed him about the invitation, slipping the information in between his routine daily reports.Asher stood in front of the large mirror in his room, staring at his own reflection. He looked impeccable, but his mind was still wrestling with various problems. Behind him, Joseph stood ready, waiting for further instructions."Sir, I have important information regarding the disruption during the hotel opening yesterday," Joseph said seriously, breaking the silence.Asher turned to look at Joseph attentively. Joseph handed over several documents to Asher. "These are the details of the two people involved in the disruption. They are still employees at Dixon Enterprises."Asher took the documents and read
The Billionaire Student After Breakup CHAPTER 49
Asher arrived in his office, his gaze immediately fixated on the two people summoned to account for their actions during the chaotic hotel opening event. The room was filled with a suffocating tension, making the air feel heavy. Asher's steps were firm, each one echoing off the marble floor, adding to the already pressurized atmosphere.Christian and Aaron, the two individuals, sat in chairs facing Asher's large desk. Christian, with his blonde hair tied in a man bun, kept his head down, trying to avoid Asher's gaze. Beside him, Aaron, who was thin and pale, looked anxious, his eyes constantly shifting from the floor to Asher's face.Kailos, who had planned to leave the room, was halted by a single gesture from Asher. "Stay here, Kailos!" Asher ordered in a low but authoritative voice.Kailos nodded and stood near the door, awaiting further instructions. Asher approached the two traitors with a gaze so piercing it seemed to penetrate their souls. Christian and Aaron felt cold sweat tr

"Always there for you." Somehow, that sentence made Asher feel awkward. He cleared his throat, trying to ease the strange feeling that crept into his mind. His eyes tried to avoid direct eye contact with Alicia. This was the first time Asher had received attention and gentle treatment from the opposite sex. In the past, most of them had looked at him dismissively.Meanwhile, Alicia smiled slightly, enjoying the moment. There was a sense of joy in her heart as she teased the quiet Asher. Since getting to know Asher and understanding who he was, Alicia had felt a strange affection growing for him.Alicia moved to tidy up the remains of Asher's lunch. Then she looked back at him. "Are you hot, Asher?" she asked, noticing Asher's flushed face."Huh?" Asher was stunned, unsure of how to respond. The loosened tie felt unhelpful, and the atmosphere seemed even more stifling. It wasn't because he was hot, but because he was flustered."Isn't it cold? It's winter now," said Alicia, moving her

CHAPTER 139
Asher didn’t go straight back to the mansion. Instead, he went to Alicia’s apartment, as per Aldric’s request. His future father-in-law had informed him that Alicia had locked herself in her apartment ever since the scandal involving Pervaz erupted. Worried about her, Asher decided to check on her himself.Inside the apartment, Asher felt a slight suffocation, as if the air was heavy with prolonged silence. There was no sound except for the ticking of the wall clock and the faint rustling of the chocolate bar the woman was chewing.He sat on the sofa, his back slightly leaning against it, yet the tension in his body was undeniable. His eyes caught every detail in the room—from the scattered pillows on the floor to the empty coffee cup on the table to the almost-finished box of chocolates. But what captured his attention the most was Alicia herself.She looked different. No neatly pressed blazer, no proud stance, no sharp gaze like the ones she wore in business meetings.Alicia sat slo
CHAPTER 138
Asher sat on the sofa, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest in a slow, deliberate motion. His gaze occasionally flicked to his watch, waiting for news about the publication of Evelyn Kazylot’s work. He wanted to see how the media and public would react.He had spent the entire day working to restore the hotel’s reputation. After yesterday’s tragedy, room bookings had plummeted, and many guests had canceled their reservations. Headlines were filled with negative speculation, calling Celestial Haven a “cursed hotel” or even hinting at its involvement in Evelyn’s death.But this wasn’t the first time Dixon had faced a storm. And Asher never lost this game.A knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. Kailos entered, a rare look of satisfaction on his face."Sir, the news is out."Asher took the tablet from Kailos and leaned back on the sofa, scanning the screen swiftly, reading through the articles now dominating online media.Meanwhile, Kailos turned on the TV, and the larg

Asher’s footsteps echoed steadily down the hallway of Pervaz Corporation, but his gaze never left the woman beside him. Alicia walked with a vacant stare, her expression carrying an unease she could not hide.Asher didn’t need to ask. He already knew what was running through her mind. Fear. Shame. Doubt. Alicia was afraid of losing him. Afraid that this scandal would make him leave her.Asher let out a quiet sigh before stopping in his tracks. Alicia, too lost in her thoughts, was forced to halt beside him. Her brows furrowed in confusion when Asher turned to face her, his gaze intense and unwavering."I am not ashamed, Alicia." His voice was calm, yet firm.Alicia’s eyes widened slightly. Her lips parted, but no words came out."Even if your family is caught in this scandal, I will never leave you or break off our engagement."In an instant, the crushing weight in her chest lightened just a little. Alicia’s gaze softened, shifting into something more vulnerable. She had prepared hers
CHAPTER 136
The atmosphere at Pervaz’s office was far from calm. Since morning, security personnel had been busy keeping demonstrators at bay outside. Their shouts echoed into the building, their voices filled with anger. Some held posters reading “Justice for the Experiment Victims!” and “Pervaz Must Be Held Accountable!”Inside, the chaos was just as bad. The Public Relations and Crisis Management divisions were overwhelmed by the nonstop influx of phone calls. Staff members tried to calm the public’s outrage, but nearly no one was willing to listen to their clarifications.Meanwhile, the communications team was scrambling to take down articles tarnishing Pervaz’s name, desperately trying to control the narrative before everything spiraled further out of control. But like a venomous snake, the news continued to spread, no matter how many times they tried to suppress it.The doors to Aldric’s office swung open, revealing Alicia as she stormed inside, her face filled with fury. She strode straigh
CHAPTER 135
The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows along the glass walls that overlooked the now-quiet city. Asher sat in his chair, staring at the pile of documents scattered across his desk—some still sealed, others already read and signed.He leaned back, rubbing his temple with his fingertips. His mind was still preoccupied with his conversation with Aberon earlier."The higher you climb, the more people will try to pull you down."Asher let out a slow breath, his gaze drifting toward the ceiling. Dad was right. There are still so many things I need to be cautious about.Before his thoughts could wander further, a knock on the door broke the silence. Asher straightened up, adjusting his posture."Come in."The door opened, and Joseph stepped inside with a serious expression, his eyes carrying something beyond a routine report."How’s Antony’s situation?" Asher asked immediately, his tone remaining calm, though he had already predicted most of the answer."Antony has officially been thro
CHAPTER 134
Asher sat upright in the black leather chair facing his father’s desk. The air in the room felt warm, mixed with the distinct scent of mahogany wood. The glow from the desk lamp cast soft shadows over the stack of documents Aberon had just handed him.Aberon folded his arms over the desk, his gaze as sharp as ever, though there was a hint of pride reflected in his eyes. “Review it carefully and understand everything. After that, you can decide,” he said, his voice calm yet authoritative.Asher took the documents without haste. He flipped open the first page, his eyes swiftly scanning every detail. The papers contained the construction proposal for Alexander’s former company, now part of Dixon, plans for its merger, and the potential risks that might arise from this move.“So, Dad, you agree with this acquisition?” Asher asked without lifting his gaze from the papers. “I want to merge it with Dixon’s construction sector. That way, we’ll have two main pillars in this industry.”Aberon l
CHAPTER 133
Asher leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the armrest while the other twirled a pen between his fingers. His sharp eyes studied the woman standing before him. Oriana appeared calm on the surface, but Asher could sense the turmoil vibrating inside her mind—cursing, panicking, desperately searching for an excuse to save herself.A small smile curled on Asher’s lips—not a friendly one, but something laced with irony.“Forgive me, Mr. Dixon.” Oriana’s voice finally broke the silence, slightly hesitant but still striving to sound professional. “Have I done something wrong? Why did you want to meet me?”Kailos, standing beside the desk, placed a stack of documents in front of her. Without any expression, he slid the file toward her with a single firm motion. “You should read it yourself.”Oriana swallowed hard, her fingers trembling as she flipped open the first page. Her eyes moved quickly, scanning through reports of disputes, sabotage, and concrete evidence of her betrayal agai
CHAPTER 132
The sky shifted towards noon as Alicia left Asher’s office. Although their meetings always ended in work discussions, there was something about being around him that made her feel lighter. Maybe it was the way Asher looked at her so calmly, or how his deep voice always gave the impression that he had control over everything.But now, Alicia’s focus shifted to another task. She walked across the gleaming marble floor of a luxury hotel, where her meeting with a client was taking place. Their discussion about marketing and distributing her cosmetic products in major shopping centers went smoothly. Everything seemed perfect.However, as she stepped out of the conference room, her breath hitched for a moment.A man stood in front of her, blocking her way with an all-too-familiar expression—Kaylery Barnnet.Alicia felt a wave of discomfort crawl up her spine. She swallowed hard, forcing a polite smile. “Mr. Barnnet?” Her voice sounded neutral, though there was a slight tremor at the end.Ka
CHAPTER 131
The warm rays of sunlight slipped through the gaps in the curtains of the small room behind the bookshelf in Asher’s office. The space was simple yet cozy, designed for quick rests during late nights at work. But this morning, that warmth felt slightly intrusive. Asher blinked slowly, trying to ignore the light that danced across his face, disappearing for a moment only to return.He let out a soft sigh, his sleep interrupted by something—or rather, someone—moving near the light. Asher didn’t get up immediately, choosing to remain lying down and enjoying the unusual calm. Someone was there.Sitting quietly at the edge of the bed was Alicia. She wore a light blue blouse paired with a cream pencil skirt that elegantly accentuated her silhouette. Her hair, usually loose, was tied back in a low ponytail, with a few strands softly framing her face. The sunlight reflected off her fingers as she played with the curtain, casting small shadows on Asher’s face.Alicia smiled gently, her eyes a
