Edward took out a silk scarf from his pocket and carefully wrapped it around Charles' eyes, making sure that he could not see anything. The room was plunged into darkness as the blindfold was secured in place. After opening the box, Edward retrieved a small pill and placed it gently on Charles' right palm."This pill will significantly enhance your organs' functioning and accelerate the healing process by hundreds of times," Edward explained cautiously. "However, there is a potential risk. If something goes awry, it could cause permanent damage to your body. Are you ready?"Charles nodded hesitantly, his heart pounding with apprehension. He trusted Edward, but the possibility of irreversible damage was a daunting prospect. With a deep breath, he swallowed the pill and waited.At first, Charles felt nothing, and he began to wonder if the pill had worked at all. It was only at this moment that Edward pretended to adjust the position of the blindfold, lightly brushing Charles' earlobe w
Adele threw her car keys to Edward, and he caught them with ease. "Ready to hit the road?" he asked with a grin.Adele nodded eagerly. "Yeah, let's go!"But as they headed towards the door, James chuckled. "You know, Edward? I don't think you should be driving her car. It's a bit too feminine for you."Edward raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? And what makes you say that?""Well, it's a pink convertible, for starters," James pointed out with a smirk.Adele rolled her eyes. "It's not pink, James. It's rose gold. And it's not too feminine, its stylish! He can handle it."Edward could not help but laugh. "I appreciate your confidence in me, Adele, but I think James might be right. I don't want to... well... damage your precious rose gold convertible."James grinned. "See? I knew I was right."Adele rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "Men and their stupid egos. Fine. You win. James, can you drive us to the dealership?"James shook his head. "Nope. I don't want to be the third whee
Edward was taken aback by Debra's abrupt interruption and her tone of voice. He had tried to be respectful and contribute to the conversation, but Debra had dismissed him yet again. He felt insulted by her dismissal of his opinion, but he knew he had to keep his cool."I beg your pardon?" he said, his voice still calm but with a hint of disbelief.Debra sighed and rolled her eyes. "Look, I know you're trying to impress your boss with your charm or whatever, but let's be realistic here. You're not the one buying the car, but Miss is. So let's focus on her preferences, shall we?"Edward felt disrespected, and it was clear that Debra had no intention of treating him with the same level of respect as Adele. However, he took a deep breath and tried to keep his cool, again. "Excuse me," he said, trying to sound as polite as possible. "But I am the one who will be purchasing the car. She is here with me to offer her opinion and help me make a decision.""I see," she said, eyeing Edward up a
The room fell silent as Adele dropped the bombshell. Debra and the salespeople were stunned. Could it be true? Was this man really someone who could not be trifled with? Naturally, they had no knowledge of Edward Windsor.However, Debra was not one to back down easily. She decided to double down on her bet, determined to prove her point. "If he's so powerful, then why doesn't he prove it? Put Boss Chris on the speakerphone, let's hear it from him directly."Edward, who had remained calm throughout the entire ordeal, finally spoke up. "I don't need to prove anything to you. I know who I am, and I know what I'm capable of."With those ominous words, Edward approached another salesman, he introducing himself as Rossi. Meanwhile, Debra could not help but feel a sense of unease. Had she gone too far? Was it worth risking her job to prove a point? When she saw Edward chatting with Rossi, she had wondered what consequences she would face.Not far from where she stood, Edward expressed his ad
Rossi was filled with immense joy. Not only had he managed to sell the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, but he was also going to receive a commission of 3% on the sale, which amounted to a staggering $630,000. He could hardly contain his excitement as he handed over the necessary paperwork to Edward.As Edward drove away in his new car, Rossi's heart swelled with pride. The sale he had just made was monumental, one that would be remembered for years to come at the dealership. He could not wait to tell his colleagues about it and bask in the glory of his achievement.As they drove towards a posh eatery in York, Edward felt a rush of adrenaline as he sat behind the wheel of his new car. Adele, on the other hand, was feeling conflicted. Adele turned to Edward and said, "I hope you know what you're doing, Edward. This is a lot of money to spend on a car."Edward smiled at her reassuringly. "Don't worry. It's not every day that one gets to own a piece of history like this."As they arrived at the
Brenda's heart leapt at Edward's words. She could hear the sincerity in his voice and felt a glimmer of hope that Edward might feel the same way she did."Thank you, Ed," Brenda said softly, "I understand that you might need some time to think about things. I just wanted to be honest with you about how I feel."Edward smiled, feeling grateful for Brenda's understanding. "I appreciate your honesty, Brenda. And I want you to know that I value our relationship and everything we've shared together."Brenda's heart sank a little at Edward's words, but she tried to remain hopeful. "Of course, I understand. I just hope that we can still remain close no matter what.""Absolutely."Brenda's heart swelled with gratitude and affection for Edward. She knew that he cared about her, even if he didn't feel the same way she did. And she was grateful to have him in her life.As they continued to talk, Brenda mentioned her high school's upcoming reunion, which was just two days away. She asked if Edwar
Edward quickly excused himself from the meeting with Richard, explaining that he had a family emergency. His mind racing with thoughts of what could be happening to Brenda and her family. He tried calling Brenda back but got no answer. He knew he needed to get to their house as soon as possible.As he drove, he could not shake the feeling of dread that was growing inside him. What could be happening? Who would try to take Sophie away by force? And why?Edward's phone rang and he quickly answered it. It was Brenda on the other end. "What's happening, Brenda? Who's attempting to take Sophie?" he asked urgently."Loan sharks, Ed," Brenda replied, her voice shaking with fear. "These men are from the loan shark my father borrowed money from. They think we're trying to run away and not pay back the debt. Dad still works at the factory and I don't know anyone who can help me, and they're trying to take Sophie as collateral for my dad's debt. It's just you, Ed. I can only ask for your help.
Edward called for a taxi as they gathered their belongings, and soon a yellow cab pulled up to the curb. He assisted Brenda and Sophie into the back seat before turning to the driver."Arial Hotel," he said.The driver nodded and started the car, heading towards the hotel. Edward followed them from behind in his car. The journey was tense and silent, each person lost in their own thoughts and worries.As they pulled up outside the hotel, Brenda and Sophie gasped in awe at the sight of the towering building before them. The Arial Hotel was one of the most luxurious hotels in the city, with plush furnishings and state-of-the-art amenities.Sophie's eyes widened as she took in the surroundings. "Wow, it's amazing!"Brenda chuckled. "It's definitely a step up from our usual accommodations. We'll have to make the most of it while we're here."Sophie turned to Brenda, with a mischievous glint in her eye. "You know, sis, I think you're really lucky to have Edward around."A wave of emotions
