Wyatt walked out to wait for Aria in the car. After a few minutes, his concern surged as she hadn’t shown up yet. He picked up his custom-built Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and hesitated, deciding against calling her since she was still with Rex. Instead, he opened the FaceTime messaging app and quickly typed, ‘Where are you, Aria?’ He moved to the next line. ‘I'm waiting for you. Be quick.’Aria, still keeping Rex’s attention, heard the ding from her phone. She quickly reached into her handbag. Seeing the message from Wyatt, she realized her time was up and she needed to leave. Not wanting to raise Rex’s suspicion, she hurriedly rose from her seat.Rex, surprised, asked sharply, his voice raspy from the alcohol, “Are you okay, Aria?”“Yes, I’m pressed,” Aria shouted, slightly bowing as the urge to pee became real.With a feigned smile, Richard chimed in, “Careful, dear.”“Thanks,” Aria said before quickly disappearing from sight.Soonafter, Aria returned to Rex with three new hookup lad
Princess Brianna found herself bothered by Aria’s visit, her mind focused on security concerns. As they moved into a spacious visitor’s room with Aria ahead of them. She turned to look at Master Crowley, whispering into his ears, her laced with disdain. “Sorry for saying this. You shouldn't have brought her here. You know, I don't just allow anyone to see me. I don't even know her.”Wyatt noticed the tension in Brianna’s voice and quickly shook his head, offering a sincere apology. "Oh, sorry for that, Princess."Brianna averted her gaze from Wyatt, her eyes fixing straight ahead as she watched Aria enter the visitor's room. “Uh, Wyatt. You don't need to apologize; I was only reminding you.”“Alright, princess,” Wyatt nodded in acknowledgement, his tone firm and polite.Upon entering the visitor's room, Aria couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer opulence in front of her. The room was filled with gentle sunlight pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a breathtaking view
Brianna nodded slowly, her mind racing back to her time at Etherium University. “You know, I wouldn’t put it past her. Camila has always been... heartless. I remember when she tried to poison Leander back in university. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s involved in this too.”“Hmm... I trust you because you will always tell the truth,” Wyatt considered her words.“And now, with Leander missing, she could be taking advantage of the situation. If she has the black card, who knows what she could do with it?” Concern was evident in Brianna’s voice, along with steely determination.Wyatt sighed, finally conceding. “Ahh, you’re right. Camila is capable of anything. And that means we should locate the card to stop them from accessing the funds.”As she considered the possibilities, Brianna’s eyes narrowed in concentration. “That is true.” “If the card was used, we track it down to the last detail. We need to know who had it and where it was used. If Camila was involved, it would lead us str
A few hours later, Damian arrived at the Goldstein family mansion to meet Princess Brianna, despite finding multiple excuses not to visit her after she had called. When he realized Brianna was angry about his hesitation, he changed his mind and decided to honor her request.As he approached Princess Brianna, who was in the garden near the mansion, a wave of fear and anxiety surged through him as he noticed several law enforcement agencies and a few high-profile individuals present. He didn't know how she would react to him initially refusing to meet her. He felt trapped in a dilemma, with Rex expecting the remaining funds obtained from Leander's black card, while Princess Brianna was asking him to assist in tracing where the money had gone.When he was almost near her, Brianna raised her head to look at him. Upon reaching her, Damian greeted her, his face tinged with a hint of guilt. "Princess, good day!"He bowed slightly. "I sincerely apologize if I annoyed you earlier."However, Da
A week ago, at 6 AM, the FBI raided Rex's residence to arrest him for his involvement in the incident with Leander. But after a thorough search, they came up empty. Rex was nowhere to be found.At the same time, the FBI raided Rex's parents’ home in one of the city's most expensive estates. His absence there only fueled suspicions of his guilt. However, they did manage to arrest Brayden, Richard, Sebastian, and a few others.With a clear Intel that Rex was set to depart for Turkey today, it was the break the FBI had been waiting for. They didn't hesitate to act.Agent Daniels, a seasoned FBI operative, paced in the command center. The tension in the room was thick as they tracked Rex's movements through various surveillance feeds."He is now heading to the private terminal," an analyst informed, eyes fixed to the screen.Daniel nodded, his mind racing. "Alright, everyone. We move in fast and clean.”Outside the terminal, a convoy of black SUVs pulled up quietly. Agents, dressed in tac
It was no longer a rumor—Leander was indeed alive. The kidnappers, frustrated and angered by their inability to access the funds from Leander’s black card, had finally revealed the truth. The confirmation came just days after Rex was arrested by the FBI.Speaking out about Leander’s status, the kidnappers admitted he was with them, sound and healthy. When the money they were expecting wasn’t sent, their plans fell apart. The rift among them, caused by Rex’s arrest, led to their determination to expose the truth.With the authorities now informed about Leander’s situation, the kidnappers felt the pressure intensify. They were forced to abandon their original plans because they couldn’t keep Leander’s location secret and were at risk of being caught.The authorities negotiated with these criminals, who are typically based in Mexico and associated with the underworld, for a peaceful release of Leander. They organized a convoy to escort him home as a way to meet the terms of the deal.The
Leander is now about to visit Willowbrook Estate, where his family mansion stood. His relatives and several high-profile guests had already gathered for the party to celebrate his return.His car was escorted by convoys, and as he approached the estate, the gates swung open. Luxury cars lined the driveway, while soft music and the heavy presence of royal guards and secret service agents filled the air.The cars screeched to a halt. One of the bodyguards quickly exited and opened the back door. Exuding a great aura, Leander stepped out, adjusting his suit jacket.At the entrance, the new butler stood, bowing slightly before leading him inside. The main hall buzzed with the chatter of guests, the clinking of glasses, and a soft hum of excitement.“It is good to have you back, Leander,” a voice called from the crowd. It was his uncle, Mr. Thompson. He extended his hand, a smile playing on his lips.“Good to see you, Uncle,” Leander replied, shaking his hand firmly.As they walked further
Leander stepped out of his sleek Lamborghini Urus after his bodyguards opened the door. While stepping out of the car, he fixed his suit and took in the sight of the opulent cars in the parking area. Princess Brianna’s car was the one that caught everyone’s attention, with royal guards and secret service convoys by its side.As Leander proceeded towards his destination, he was met by uniformed staff who greeted him with a warm smile. “Mr. Goldstein, welcome,” the staff member said, bowing slightly.Leander, looking slightly puzzled, responded, “Thank you. Could you please direct me to the venue of the birthday feast?”The staff member quickly provided the directions, and soon, Leander and his bodyguards arrived at the hall.As they entered, Leander couldn’t help but marvel at the opulence surrounding him. Above, the ceilings towered, adorned with crystal-laden chandeliers that illuminated the room with a lavish, inviting radiance. Countless balloons floated gracefully above, their vi
