2024-04-08 15:00:00"Sir?"
Demian, who was about to enter the house, immediately stopped walking when Niel called out to him. He was silent, waiting to hear what the news would be.
"Mr.Morgan wants to talk to you. We were asked to come to the main house," Niel said after receiving a message from Mr.Morgan's assistant. He then turned to stare at his boss who had no reaction. "He said it's important."
"This late?"
"Not too late. It's only ten o'clock. It's too early for you to go to bed now."
"Since when did you dare to set my bedtime?"
There was no answer. Niel had no intention of explaining because he knew it wouldn't help. He could only hope that his boss would fulfill Mr.Morgan's wish to return to the main house. Niel was worried.
(Just once, sir. Lower your ego a little. Mr.Morgan is not well. I'm afraid tonight is his last night on earth. Ple

Morning at the Stewart family home .... Dylan couldn't stop looking alternately at his father and mother who were suddenly behaving strangely. These two people have been throwing smiles at each other since he joined them in the dining room. Suspicious. (Are they going through their second phase of puberty? How strange. They don't usually act this friendly) "After breakfast let's go to the hospital," Morgan said. "Hospital?" Dylan parroted. "What's the point of going there? Are any of you sick?"Katty quickly grabbed Morgan's wrist when she saw him about to answer Dylan's question. After that she shook her head, signaling not to discuss Rosalind's problem just yet. She was worried that Dylan would be angry that this arranged marriage was not in their plans. "What's wrong?" asked Morgan in a half-whisper. "Keep this matchmaking thing a secret from Dylan. I'm worried he'll misunderstand because right now his relationship with Demian is heating up," Katty replied with sweet reasonin

"Sir, Mr.Morgan and Mrs.Katty returned to see Miss Rosalind at the hospital. It looks like they're serious about the match," Niel said, reporting the news that his men had just sent. "Let them do what they want. After all, it doesn't harm us," Demian said casually in response to Niel's report. He was enjoying the lunch on his plate. "Sooner or later this will still happen too. Whether it was them or us who started it, that woman will still be the talk of the town.""Are you completely sure about this matchmaking?""You think?"Niel looked at his boss closely. "Miss Rosalind comes from quite a prominent family. It seems a bit strange that she would be ignored by her family. And I've also ordered people to investigate what exactly happened to her. She's an outcast daughter.""Outcast in what way?"Demian wiped the corner of his lips with a tissue. After which he took a deep breath. "There are many factors that could have caused her to be abandoned by her family. It could be because she

"Why don't you answer? Weren't you so eager to call me an oppressor of the weak?" scolded Demian urging the man before him to speak. Actually, he didn't really want to shoot him, just bluff. He wasn't the type to listen to other people's complaints. So pointing a gun was the most appropriate decision to shorten the time. "L-Lower your weapon. Then I'll talk!""Scared?""Don't be crazy, Demian. Put your gun down quickly or I'll ....""Will what? Huh?"Instead of obeying, Demian deliberately came forward and pressed the tip of the gun against the man's forehead. After that he tilted his head while displaying a thin smirk on his lips. This atmosphere made him uneasy. Too wordy. "I told you I don't think I've ever had a cooperative relationship with your company, but you insist on accusing me of bullying. Just so you know. There is no point in me taking away the meager profits of people like you. Understand?!" said Demian reiterating that he had nothing to do with the problems that were

Demian's eyebrows shot up as he spotted a familiar figure at the project site he was visiting. Astonished, he turned his head to stare questioningly at Niel. "What is that man doing here?""I don't know either, sir," Niel replied. "It looks like someone invited him here on purpose. I'll investigate.""No need. Let me find out myself. You check elsewhere. Make sure they're working properly.""Yes, sir."With no wind and no rain, Kelly suddenly appeared at the construction site of a project that had nothing to do with his company. This of course disturbed Demian's mind. What was this woman doing? Why would she show up where she wasn't supposed to?"I hope your coming here has nothing to do with my statement in front of the media," Demian said after standing next to Kelly. He put one hand in his pants pocket and his gaze was straight ahead. "I would be very disappointed if that were true.""Too bad your guess is off, Demian," Kelly said, not surprised by the sarcastic remark of the man n

"W-whatt? Married to Mr.Demian?"Rosalind's eyes widened as she heard Mrs.Katty's words. Marry the man she accidentally helped? My God, what kind of offer was this. Rosalind was dumbfounded. "Yes. Do you want to?" said Katty hopefully. "But Madam, I .... ""The whole media keeps reporting on you two. Instead of making rumors, what's wrong if you two get married. After all, you're still both single. Right?"Katty really didn't give Rosalind a chance to reject the arranged marriage she had arranged. No matter what and no matter how, Rosalind had to marry Demian. Katty already had a thousand cunning schemes in her head where she would use Rosalind as a personal spy to monitor the bastard's movements. She couldn't wait to get what was rightfully hers and Dylan's. "Madam, then what about Mr.Demian? Is he willing to marry an ordinary woman like me?" asked Rosalind between resignation and confusion. No wind no rain, all of a sudden she was being asked to marry the man she accidentally hel

"Report your work tonight. If you're late, I want a letter of resignation on my desk by tomorrow morning. B&F Corporation does not accept lazy employees. Only those who are creative and disciplined have the right to be part of this company!" said Demian firmly warning his subordinates who were caught working negligently. Luckily, his heart is currently in a good mood. Otherwise, all of their careers would have ended at this very second. "Yes, sir. We will submit the report as soon as possible.""I don't want to listen to promises. Do it, then bring the evidence before me. Understand?""Yes, sir.""Go away. The sight of your faces makes my hands itch."The phrase makes my hands itch is loaded with several meanings. And the employees took it as a danger to be avoided immediately. Not wanting to be reprimanded even more horribly, they hurriedly excused themselves and darted away from the boss's room. The atmosphere in the room was too tense and suffocating. After the employees left, De

Dylan staggered into the house. He then loosened his tie, leaving it untied. Tired. Tired of heart and mind. "What should I do to end Demian's arrogance?" Dylan muttered before plopping his butt down on the sofa. He then pressed the edge of his head, thinking hard to find a way out to complete his revenge. "I can't take it anymore. I've done everything I can, but the ending just keeps failing and failing. I'm fed up!"A maid came over to the upset Dylan with a glass of water. And when the maids left for the back, Dylan called out to her. He was suddenly curious about something. "What did Mom and Dad do today? Did they go out?""Yes, sir. Mr.Morgan and Mrs.Katty went out after breakfast, but not for long.""Where did they go?""I don't know, sir.""Go away," Dylan said, waving his hand for the maid to leave. He was asking the wrong person. (Why am I feeling so uneasy? Mom wouldn't do something without telling me first, right?) While Dylan was daydreaming, Katty walked up the stairs

Demian stood facing the window, wine in hand. Behind him was Niel who faithfully kept him company. They were now at the mansion. However, Demian had not allowed Niel to return to his house. He needed someone to talk to. "If there's something bothering you, please just tell me, sir. You don't usually keep me at the mansion," Niel said, opening the conversation. He and his boss were there for almost thirty minutes, but not a single conversation was opened. Niel was curious. So he ventured to start first. "Do you mind being here?" asked Demian in a very flat tone of voice. "Not at all, sir. I'm just worried.""Worried about what?""About your uncharacteristic behavior." Niel leaned closer to his boss and poured some wine into the almost empty glass. "Are you worried about the arranged marriage? If so, I will immediately organize a plan to cancel the match."Demian let out a long sigh at Neil's words. Right now he was not thinking at all about Katty's plan to marry him off to Rosalind.

"Dad, how are you?"There was no reaction from Demian when Gwen, his son, said hello. He remained focused on the laptop screen, busy checking his work. "Is my arrival a bother?" Gwen asked disappointedly. Five years abroad and only this morning's return to her homeland had left her with a deep sense of longing for her father. However, Gwen had to be satisfied with swallowing back the longing when she found her father's very cold response. Disappointed, but still trying to be patient. "This morning mom said you weren't feeling well. How are you doing now? Is it much better?""I'm busy. Don't talk too much," Demian said in a very flat tone. He was too lazy to bother with this kid's questions."All these years we haven't said hello to each other, is there no longing in your heart? I'm your son, Dad. I even wish .... ""Enough!" Demian snorted harshly. He reluctantly looked at Gwen who just kept talking. "Don't ever expect anything from me because it will never materialize.""Why?""No co

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday. Happy birthday to Gwen. Yeyyyyyyyy!!"Cheers of applause filled the front yard of the Stewart family home. Today is Gwen's one-year-old birthday celebration. Gwen Loreg Stewart. The name given to her by Dylan. It was a great fortune for Rosalind and Demian to have a son. And twelve months have passed with great joy. Dylan is now an art activist whose name has been recognized by many people. Katty and Morgan have a harmonious relationship with mutual love and affection. As for Rosalind, she spends her time taking care of her only son who is so cute and adorable. Then Demian .... "Sir, it's Gwen's birthday. Are you sure you don't want to go home?" asked Niel while looking at his boss who was enjoying a cigar. Making it through the big storm did not make this man willing to trust others. His boss was still suffering from a crisis of trust. It was even worse now that he was suspicious of his o

"Mr.Demian, congratulations on Ms.Rosalind's pregnancy. Soon B&F Corporation and the Stewart family will have a successor. You are very lucky,""That's right. You are an extraordinarily lucky man. Having such a beautiful and fertile wife, the goddess of fortune is always on your side. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why you are so secretive about your relationship. It must be because you already know that Ms.Rosalind has a very good hand line, right? Hahahaha,"Compliment after compliment Demian continued to receive from his business colleagues. However, these compliments did not make him feel happy. On the contrary, Demian felt threatened when these people kept mentioning the heir. (Their words sound like mockery that I have created my own competition. This is not true. How can a baby who is only as big as a corn kernel already be hailed as an heir? Me! I am the true heir. It's also thanks to my hard work that the company is number one in the country. Cihhh!) Niel secretly watche

After weathering quite a storm, the Stewart family finally got the news that excited me. Rosalind was positively pregnant. This made many people rejoice at the good news. "Finally our darling will soon have a grandchild," Katty said as she wiped away tears. She was so moved that she cried knowing that Rosalind was pregnant. "Yes, dear. I never thought that at my old and sickly age, God would still give me the opportunity to experience the joy of being a grandfather. Our family is truly blessed," Morgan said, equally moved. "Don't talk like that. It's only your physique that looks old, but you're actually still very handsome. That's why I can never move on to another heart. You're still the best that's ever stopped by my heart."Katty's answer just now made Morgan unable to help but smile. Since the incident some time ago, he decided to just forgive her. Because no matter what, the misunderstanding that happened was because she couldn't be assertive. Thinking too much about Demian's

In a fairly dark room, there sat a silent man by the window. There was no visible expression on his face. One thing was for sure, this man was caught up in a thought. (Am I really like this because of the trauma of my mother's death? But how did Dylan know that? He wasn't even born when mom died. Am I mistaken?) Four days after his fight with Dylan, Demian hadn't shown up at home or at the company. His heart was too troubled, confused about what was really going on. Dylan's words made such an impression on him that he couldn't close his eyes for a moment. As a result, these four days Demian has transformed into a zombie who lacks blood. Drrt drrttThe cell phone on the table vibrated, but Demian remained in his position. He was ignorant. The person calling was probably Niel, so it was predictable what the man would ask. "What exactly happened to me? Why do I seem to have lost my zest for life? For days, I've been living in a dark place. How could a Demian break the discipline to w

"Sir, please don't be stubborn. Your condition is still very weak. Stay here and let the guards do the work. Okay?""Don't get in my way. Dylan is in danger, his life is at stake. How can I just lie back and relax when my son's life is on the line?!" shouted Morgan in frustration. The IV tube in his hand had been forcibly removed, causing blood to splatter on the floor and blanket. There was no more pain, no more weakness. All that remained was fear and worry. "Get out of the way. Let me get out of here. Demian's temper is very bad. Only I can prevent him from killing Dylan. Please get out of the way!"Knock knock knock"Dad, I... gosh, what's going on here?"Rosalind, who had guessed that her father-in-law must have made a mess after hearing the news that Demian wanted to kill Dylan, decided to come to the hospital immediately. And sure enough. Arriving in this room she found that her father-in-law was throwing a tantrum and rebelling to be let go. Immediately, he played a charade. N

Demian's body stiffened strongly. Suddenly a strange feeling rushed into his mind. Big brother? This wasn't the first time Dylan had called him that, but why did it feel different now? What was wrong? Couldn't it be because he felt sorry for him? "Big brother, is it okay if I call you this?" said Dylan again asking for permission. His defenses were weakening, and he realized death had arrived. "Ever since I understood that we were brothers, I've been hoping to be allowed to call you brother. Is this too whiny for a man of my stature?"Dylan's words were full of deep sadness. Unexpectedly, a clear liquid dripped from the corner of his eye, a sign of a hidden wound. With Dylan lying on the ground and his face bruised and bloody, he expressed his sadness accompanied by soft sobs. "I've waited so long for the moment to be able to talk to you as a brother, not as an enemy or someone you consider a stranger. Brother, I'm your younger brother, right?""Nonsense, don't try to make me think!"

Dylan and Demian stood facing each other. Their gazes were both sharp, implying no familial relationship behind it. "I didn't realize you and Niel were such traitors. It's lucky I came in time to expose your conspiracy!" Demian said without hesitation. "Don't just accuse. Niel is not a traitor!" countered Dylan. "He has nothing to do with what's going on. So don't try to hurt him or you'll be dealing directly with me!""Oh, getting defensive huh?"A faint smirk seemed to grace Demian's lips at Dylan's blatant defense of Niel. This was surprising. It was unexpected that the person he trusted the most had the heart to form an alliance with someone he considered an enemy. Fortunately, Demian hadn't let Niel go earlier. Otherwise, their rottenness would definitely not have been exposed. "Do you realize how arrogant and greedy you are? What did my mother and I do wrong? Why do you have the heart to sell them to bandits?""Whatever I want to do. This is the fruit of that snake woman's st

The valley of death, let's call it. Dylan sat quietly in the car as he stared at the screen of his cell phone that was constantly on. Since five minutes ago, someone had been calling him. But Dylan had no intention of answering. It was useless."Even if you cry blood, I will not leave this country. I am prepared for all the risks that will occur," Dylan said bitterly. His gaze was sad, helpless. "Niel, you might not be as cruel as Demian. Maybe if I had asked father for help, he would have asked you to tell me where mom was. However, I don't want to make you a traitor in Demian's eyes. It's enough that I sacrifice myself for his ego, you don't!"After years of holding out hope of being considered, Dylan finally came to the decision to end it all. Secretly stealing important data from one of the family's sources of wealth, blinded by too much heartache and disappointment. His mother was being held captive somewhere. As a child, it is only natural that Dylan is determined to use all kin
