"What?" the woman was surprised, she was thinking about what exactly was being said then when she found out what it meant, she immediately shook her head. "No, Miss Selena. I am not your husband and I came here because I saw you."Selena was also very surprised that her assumption was wrong. She thought it was Aldrich who would touch her like that. Then, she observed this woman in front of her. She was quite amazed that the woman knew about her who was trying to conceal her identity."What's wrong?" Selena acted cautiously. She was paying attention to her surroundings. Moreover, she was alone. If something difficult happened, it would be quite very difficult to overcome her who was pregnant like this.The woman held her bag tightly. She bit her lip before she spoke. "Miss Selena, I really admire you, and while I was walking around earlier, I saw someone who I thought was Miss Selena. So I watched from a distance, and it turned out to be true."She was very carefree saying it. Admiring
Aldrich was on board the same ship, watching the surrounding night sky filled with beautiful stars, although his arrival was probably not for fun or vacation.Jose appeared at his rear. He finally stopped closer to Aldrich's back. "Master, we will arrive shortly."Aldrich didn't speak, but he nodded his head once. He obviously knew that because he had been watching the front of the place where he could now see the island. Five minutes later, they had arrived at the large island Jose was referring to. The island passed down from the Goldstein family was the spoils of war 100 years ago.They had many islands, and this one was used for the benefit of their family.Aldrich immediately stepped off the ship, and the people there lined up to greet him. Just getting off the ship, he could see the luxuries that existed on the island and were devoted to making their work in this place easier."Are you having any problems?" Aldrich looked at the person in charge of this place, his eyes alone mak
"Have you heard that Mr. Aldrich will be elected chairman of Necton?" a man spoke excitedly to his friend, information about which had been spreading for several days.He nodded his head. "You saw it on the news, it was a big deal. So what do you think?" he asked again because he thought this was important.Then he excitedly talked about his opinion. "I don't think it matters at all, you know he has shown great prowess. Besides, if our leader is from a wealthy family, won't he be able to avoid corruption and chaos?"The two of them were talking with more vigor than before. They discussed many things in that place as if they were political experts. The information about Aldrich becoming the new leader was widespread. People said it was related to the previous terror settlement incident. The great news about it spread as certain people who had been in politics earlier than this became targets for interviews."Do you agree with him becoming the leader of the Necton government?" A woman
His presence here attracted people's attention. Although the Black House could not be entered by anyone, the information about her visiting the place had been heard. That was why the reporters, since a few hours ago, had been waiting for his arrival in the outer area of the Black House-their laws were their own and had a specialty of being neutral, which tended to prevent people from entering their territory.As his car passed by the curious people, they all became noisy, but Aldrich paid no attention. The car he was using kept driving away from that place to quickly get to where he really wanted to be.A few tens of minutes later, he could see the pitch-black building. The gate opened, and he immediately entered there. People immediately respectfully greeted him."That's Aldrich Goldstein." Some people who had just seen Aldrich looked him up and down. Since he was from another city, he was pretty surprised by Aldrich's actual appearance.The man who was the hot topic was tall, had a
Third-degree corruption is corruption that swallows up funds used for disaster relief for itself. Third-degree corruption was tantamount to self-deprecating because it was very shameful.Hearing it said by Aldrich made Hank very angry. The man stood up and looked at Aldrich with low eyes. He forgot his attitude in this place, which attracted people's attention. "You're so shameless as to accuse me of something I didn't do. You were cornered because of your lack of ability, and now you're trying to suppress me."The man spoke with a strong voice, made others look down on him, and didn't care that his words could affect them. "Just look, as I said, he is not good at politics. Now he is suddenly accusing me for no reason, just to save his skin. If he is elected as the leader of Necton, he will make you suffer too."He looked at one of the people there who was part of the counter-team to the position Aldrich would now get."That's right, Mr. Hank, it's not true. He's doing it to save his
A thin stream of smoke came from the tip of the dark brown cigar. As the cigar was moved away from her mouth, he gathered the smoke from the one he had smoked earlier.Ben approached him and stopped beside him without looking at Aldrich. "You still have this bad habit."Aldrich was an heir, but that didn't mean he was a perfect human being with no weaknesses. The man started smoking when he was 19 years old. He did it with the many tasks he had to do as an heir.Many things he had to do perfectly and from childhood, he had done it until a bit of boredom appeared. Occasionally, to control the monster in him, he did things that were quite deviant from the provisions. Smoking became something he did most often, and it was safest for his own sake as well."Not like before." Aldrich even took only three sips from his cigar, throwing it away and stepping on it. As he lifted his foot, he looked at the crushed cigar.Ben nodded as he realized his grandson was not like he used to be back when
After their shopping, the two people prepared to head back. But Kate hadn't let go of Selena's hand that she had been holding."Why don't you come with me to the Mora family home?" She watched Selena gently. "We can spend more time there.Since arriving here and also becoming Jun's fiancée, she had been staying at the Mora house, showing that she was indeed already part of the family. Meanwhile, her family, who had come from Meldham, had gone home. Kate had been treated well, the woman often talking to Selena and saying how nice it was to be here.She also liked being here because she was closer to her fiancé and, of course, Selena.Now Selena was silent at her best friend's invitation. She was thinking about her husband. She had just left without telling her husband about it. "I have to tell Aldrich first. He might panic." she frowned slightly, doubting her own words.One of Kate's eyebrows rose at the answer from Selena. "Panic?" This seemed very strange. "He certainly wouldn't feel
Two days had passed, and now the quiet scene was noisy again as news of Aldrich becoming the head of Necton's government had spread.Again, everyone was excited after learning about the news. Some groups accepted Aldrich as the new leader of Necton, and some rejected Aldrich by saying that it was just a false rumor."You've given orders for people to spread this?" Selena ate the snack in her hand while pulling towards her husband, who was sitting beside her. The large television in her hand was glancing at Aldrich, and it left Selena free to look at the ongoing news.The most beautiful and deep black eyes glanced at the television with a cold gesture. "I didn't order anything to spread the news about this."Selena opened her mouth. She was quite surprised because she did not expect the news about this to spread, not because of her husband's orders. She thought Aldrich, of course, wanted this excitement. "You know, I thought you were the one who told people to spread the information abo
