Two hours before.Jonathan stood at the vault door with Adam. Before going to the office, he looked at the last person to win over the mantle."Open the door," Jonathan ordered the doorman."Yes, sir." The guard rushed to open the door for Jonathan and Adam; behind him, several bodyguards came in as Jonathan's safety guard.A chill pierced Jonathan and Adam's skin after the door to the room was opened. Someone was sitting in the corner of the room, hugging his legs. While the bodies of six other people lay on the floor in a terrible state. Bloodied and blue from freezing."Check those six people!" Jonathan ordered his men to check on them. Jonathan's personal bodyguards, numbering four them, checked the breathing and pulse of the bodies of five of Esteban's comrades."How?" asked Jonathan."Four people, including Mr. da Silva, have died, sir. Except for the young man on the other end. He's still alive, probably very critical at this point." Jonathan's bodyguard said."S-sir..." called
"Tsk… he's not here," Magdalena muttered after entering the director's room."Mr. Smith is in a meeting, Miss," Adam replied."Then? Why are you still here?""What do you mean, Miss?""You're his personal assistant; you should be by his side right now. Especially in an important meeting."Adam scratched his non-itchy hair. His boss told him to pick up his fiancé. And now the person he picked up blamed him for not accompanying his boss. All are wrong, and he doesn't know what to do."What are you waiting for?" Magdalena was annoyed because her fiancé's intelligent assistant suddenly looked stupid and seemed slow in thinking."Okay, Miss." Adam bowed and left Magdalene to follow Jonathan into the meeting room.Magdalena's gaze was fixed on a reasonably large glass flower vase available on the nightstand in the corner of the room. Magdalena smiled happily. Her famously cold fiancé is actually hot and caring. Even the most minor things can be remembered during his busy schedule.While hum
After an hour had passed, Magdalene awoke from her slumber. The girl blinked, feeling the warmth of the blanket. The smell of fresh perfume wafted through her nose.Magdalena smiled; the perfume scent belonged to Jonathan, her fiancé. The warmth that enveloped her body turned out to be from the man's expensive coat."Nathan," called Magdalena."Oh, you're awake?" Jonathan stopped typing on his laptop keyboard."Are you very busy?" asked Magdalena pleasantly. She wanted Jonathan to greet her with a warm attitude, even though it was impossible."It's lunchtime; I'm hungry." Jonathan turned off his laptop. "Let's eat " words Magdalena didn't expect.Magdalena sighed. Jonathan is still the same, cold and unromantic. Just now, she was pleased with the attention he gave her to a bouquet of red roses. Now broken by his cold greeting after long time no see."Come on," Magdalena straightened her dress and walked over to Jonathan, who was already standing. Without being asked, the girl put on J
Magdalena's grip loosened as Jonathan greeted her back."Hello Maria, I'm doing well."The woman took control, and Jonathan removed his hand from Magdalena. They shook hands, and the woman smiled again.Magdalena was like the third person among them. From the corner of her eye, she saw that the woman looked elegant and mature. If she looks at her... she seems more suitable side by side with Jonathan than with her. The woman was dressed in an office, very neat and classy.Magdalena sighed, feeling like she wanted to scream and prevent them from talking."Meet Magdalena Morris, my fiancé." Jonathan's voice was like a breath of fresh air. Where Magdalene turned to Jonathan. She emphasized to her heart that she had to fully comply with Jonathan's promise while in the car.Now, the gloomy look on her face turned to Maria Soriano. Her smile disappeared when she realized the same ring was pinned on both Magdalena's and Jonathanring fingers. All this time, Maria had admired Jonathan so much t
"Her name is Maria Soriano, the only daughter of Mark Soriano. Owner of Soriano Corporation, a car company. Smith Corporation's most formidable rival. Mark Soriano is also the owner of the western underworld organization.""Maria was my junior at Cambridge university. She helped me a lot when I was poor and struggling. We separated after I graduated and started my own business in this country.""Just friends?""More than that.""W-what do you mean?" Magdalena's eyes began to heat up."She's my helper; she once saved me during a big duel between gangsters fighting for territory. I would almost die if Maria didn't get me to the hospital in time."***Ten years ago, Cambridge University.Jonathan comes to the lavish building of one of the best universities in the world with a look of awe. The spirit of learning, seeking knowledge so that they can start a business and become a successful person, flares up because his mother's health requires large amounts of money for medical expenses.H
"Stop!" shouted a girl getting out of the expensive, limited-edition Maybach luxury car. Dress neatly, and look elegant and beautiful. Protected by several guards in black suits. The girl approached Jonathan, who was almost stepped on by the young man standing above him."Guards, drag him!" the girl ordered her guards to drag the arrogant young man trying to hurt Jonathan."Teach him a lesson, don't stop before he faints.""Okay, Miss!" a group of men in black coats bowed and left with the young man who had disturbed Jonathan earlier."Get up," the girl stretched out her hand, pulling Jonathan curled up on the ground. His clothes were dirty and full of dust."Thanks for the help, Miss...?""My name is Maria Soriano. Call me Maria; what's your name?""Jonathan Smith." Since childhood, Jonathan has been a quiet type and cold. No exception when dealing with girls as beautiful as Maria."Good name." praised Maria."Thank you," Jonathan brushed the dust off his clothes and looked for the s
Maria's unblinking at Jonathan; his latest appearance made him look very handsome. Wearing simple clothes, he was fascinated, especially now, who wore expensive and branded clothes.Just getting his hair done at the salon, Jonathan was completely invisible from his low-class social status."Maria," Jonathan called, snapping his fingers in the girl's face."Uh… it's done?" a silly question to which the answer must have been because since earlier, Maria had been staring at Jonathan without blinking."Yeah, I'm done," Jonathan answered flatly."Come on," without awkwardness, Maria grabbed and hugged Jonathan's arm. In fact, Jonathan felt uncomfortable. He doesn't like being around a girl or other single women. But for the sake of the silver necklace, his late father's legacy. He was willing to follow Maria's wishes which he thought was a waste of time.He could use that time to study and care for his sick mother."Let's go to the cinema first," Maria didn't ask Jonathan for an opinion. S
"Boom!"The whirring sound of bullets and long swords was deafening. Maria's guards fortify Maria and Jonathan. They executed both by bowing their bodies while walking to save themselves.However, because the amount was not balanced. Within minutes, suddenly attacked. Making Maria's bodyguards frantic. One by one, they fell and died on the spot.Now there are only two guards left. Some of them had fallen on the park pavement. Some were covered in blood from the slash of a sword, and their heads were pierced by lead bullets."Young Lady, on the count of three. You and your friend run and get in the car. Let the two of us temporarily block their movement.""No, Yale, I'm not leaving you." rejected Mary. It seems that Maria really cares about Yale."If we stick together, sooner or later, we'll be caught by them. And then, you'll know what's going to happen. Move on; we have a little time left." the man named Yale pushed Maria's body towards Jonathan."Yale, I don't want to!" cried Mary.
