The Midnight Heir TEARY EYED
“What did you just say to me?!” She asked aggressively as she squeezed tightly on his neck to choke him out. She was also raising him to his tiptoes.“What was that you said about wanting my skin on your skin?! I might not know what you were talking about but is this what you meant by that? How do you like it when I do this?!” Marilyn asked, giggling because she could take out all her frustration on him.Gerald was gagging, trying his best to free his neck from her grip as about to pass out but he couldn’t because she was just too powerful.Thinking that it was over for him, just then, Marilyn looked out through the doorway to check on the cameras outside by the passage, and seeing them made her smack her tongue.“Hmmm, we don’t want anyone else finding out what we’re doing no do we?” she said then smiled as she looked at Gerald’s teary eyes “You said you’ll keep my secret right? So, let’s see how much you can be quiet for”Marilyn dragged Gerald into the room and then closed the door
The Midnight Heir FLAMBOYANT DELIVERY
Annabelle had been pulled by Anthony far enough and the reason why she came here in the first place kept pricking her mind to the point that she couldn’t be quiet anymore.“Anthony, can we stop for a moment so that we can talk?” Annabelle asked as she tried planting herself on the ground so that Anthony couldn’t continue pulling her easily.Anthony grunted as he stopped then he shrugged and said “Okay” before letting go of her hand.He turned to face her because she seemed like she had something very important she wanted to say to him.Annabelle took in a deep breath to prepare herself because of how fast her heart was beating. This was a question that could change her entire world so it had a lot of weight.When she was ready she blurted “Anthony, are you—“ but she couldn’t finish the question.She got cold feet from looking into his eyes and so she couldn’t go ahead with the question anymore. “I mean, what in the world was that just now?! How did you know that bad person? Why do yo
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
