The Midnight Heir GUSTAV’S CONFESSION
Anthony chuckled, feeling gassed up by the compliment. Annabelle also wanted to blush but she was more concerned about who this masked person was so she didn't let his compliment sway her."Another one?" Annabelle mumbled, thinking it was someone like Mr. Young here to give Anthony something."I'm guessing these are the items we arranged for?" Anthony asked, pointing at the covers and bag in Gustav's hand."Yes, of course, Sir," Gustav said energetically as he pushed them towards Anthony so that he could have them, fulfilling the delivery."Since it's you, you don't have to sign any inconvenient order fulfillment papers either""Thanks" Anthony collected all three items from Gustav and that was supposed to be when Gustav takes his leave but two of them couldn't help but wonder why Annabelle had her eyes fixed on Gustav."What's the problem, Annabelle?" Anthony asked his wife who was leaning oddly close to try and get a better look at Gustav.Annabelle grimaced "I don't know, but I hav
The Midnight Heir LET’S GO
Gustav placed his hand on top of the first cover and started to rub it caressingly. That was the cover with Annabelle’s cobalt blue dinner gown in it.“Like you already know Sir, after you inspired me back at the shop to make your suit I just couldn’t rest once done. My next move was to make a Gustav unmatched dinner gown for your wife” Gustav said before taking his hand off the cover and holding his hands together behind him.“I know that but what does that have to do with anything?” Anthony asked.Gustav smiled nervously and said “Well, what I failed to mention is that until now I had no idea what your wife looked like and I might have told you that I used the measurements of the dress you picked to get an idea of what to do but that was not entirely true”Anthony tilted his head in curiosity and asked “What are you trying to say, Designer Gustav?”“I had no idea what your wife looked like so I imagined her for myself. I put hair on top of head and face, face on top of neck, and nec
The Midnight Heir THE EMPEROR’S FLOOR
Annabelle remained quiet and just complied as Anthony took her to the elevator which they got into and when the doors closed he focused on the buttons there.Just like how the floors get more and more luxurious the higher up you go, so does how unique and beautiful the buttons for those floors look in the already gold-plated panel.There was one specific button out of all the rest that looked like it was the most important button. As such, that button was the highest one in the lineup and there was notably a significant gap between it and the one directly underneath.That meant that the level of luxury afforded between the room that that button leads to and the one under it were day and night apart.“The Emperor floor,” Anthony said the moment he identified the button and then he wasted no time pressing it.Unlike the other buttons that push in and return to normal immediately, the Emperor floor button went inside after being pushed and didn’t return.Instead, the button vanished comp
The Midnight Heir I AM
Anthony and Annabelle looked all around the place and just like the elevator, the Emperor floor was also themed like the solar system but because of the size, it felt like they were in the vastness of space."Thank you," Anthony said then looked down at all six of them and asked, "So which one of you should I be addressing from now on?"Out of all three wearing the normal hotel uniform which was a black pants suit, the one with a black inner collar shirt and gold cufflinks was the first to stand straight and walk closer to Anthony."That would be me, sir. My name is Ludwig and I'll be your butler for the evening" Ludwig said with a hand on his chest then the other five also stood up straight, smiling gleefully to see Anthony."Nice to meet you, Ludwig," Anthony said, stretching his hand for a handshake which Ludwig looked at in shock and reservation."What's the problem? Don't you shake hands or is that a part of the rules here or something?" Anthony asked after it had been some secon
The Midnight Heir ANTHONY’S OFFER
“As you asked, I am Mr. Dana’s master. I’m also Satyre’s master and a few others. Truth be told, we’re working on making the numbers more” Anthony said then chuckled embarrassingly.He watched Annabelle become speechless at the information he just gave her. Yes, she had her suspicions but hearing it get confirmed was so big that she couldn’t believe how big it actually was.“Annabelle, are you okay?” He tried to check on her and she nodded her head slowly but with a face like she wasn’t entirely there.“Good, that means we can carry on with our date,” Anthony said and with a hand gesture, he called the waiter who was just a few feet away, staring at them blankly.“Here are your menus, Sir and Madam,” the waiter said as she got to their table. She wanted to drop the menus on the table but Anthony took them from her instead.“Thank you,” Anthony said before he went to set the menus in front of him but when he tried doing the same for Annabelle, she still seemed dazed like she was trying
The Midnight Heir ANTHONY’S PROMISE
Annabelle lowered her head in shame, refraining from looking Anthony in the eyes because she felt guilty for turning down his heartfelt offer. Truthfully, this was the very first time she was ever refusing to do as Anthony asks and it felt strange for both of them. Even when she got mad that he was reading her thoughts without letting her k ow back when they were dating, it never got to the point where she declines him.This was entirely new territory for both of them.Anthony had wanted to get angry because he was turned down but he found the strength not to. In truth, there’s nothing Annabelle could do or say that would get him angry beyond the point of a simple frown.He felt heartbroken and betrayed that she said no but with a deep breath and a heavy sigh, he managed to maintain his stoicism towards the situation.“Do you mind telling me why you’re saying no to my offer? Don’t tell me that it’s because you’re mad at me for not telling you the truth about my true identity until n
The Midnight Heir END OF A PERFECT DATE
Anthony helped Annabelle get down from the table then she went to sit down on her chair opposite from him. With the table freed, Ludwig gestured at the waiters to go serve the couple their dishes which they did, and when their work was done Ludwig and the waiters bowed their heads to wish Anthony and Annabelle a delicious meal before giving them their privacy once again.The two of them enjoyed their meal in peace and after that, they went on to have a mind-blowing dessert. Anthony who wasn’t used to these sorts of things didn’t think he would enjoy the food as much as he did.After they were done, Anthony asked to see all the people who took part in making everything they ate and both he and Annabelle thanked them for their wonderful work.Since everything they had to do was over with the conclusion of their date, Anthony and Annabelle left the dining hall and stood in front of the elevator.Ludwig and the same five staff who had greeted Anthony and Annabelle when they first came to
The Midnight Heir MR. JOE WELLING
From the aura Anthony and the men who came with him had, Mr. Welling with all his years of journalism could tell right away that they were going to be a huge problem.Mr. Welling smiled nervously as he clasped both hands together “Sure Sir, so what would you like to talk about?” He asked.Anthony grinned then stepped into the alleyway, wrapped his arm around Mr. Welling’s shoulders to turn him around, and then started taking him deeper into the alleyway.As they walked, Mr. Welling looked over his shoulder with scared eyes, wondering why the other men who came with Anthony weren’t following them into the alley instead of just standing at the junction like statues.It was then a thought popped into Mr. Welling’s head and he mumbled “Are they remaining there to block anyone who might want to come in? If that’s true then nobody can save me from whatever this silver-haired weirdo wants to do to me” Mr. Welling gulped, looking at Anthony’s smirking face and when they got to the dumpster,
