The Midnight Heir MR. YOUNG
“Let me introduce you to Mr. Young, an associate of a new friend of mine,” Anthony said, gesturing at the mysterious man who was closing the window because of how noisy the flapping curtain was.Mr. Young was dressed in black, from his shoes to the black hoodie he wore and the black baseball cap he wore under the hoodie which concealed half of his face.Mr. Young was also looking down so that none of them there could see what he looks like.“You’ve always thought you were smart by picking the rooms with no security cameras just so you can do whatever you want to the people you drug without anyone noticing,” Anthony said, looking at the corners of the ceiling which usually is where the cameras are supposed to be but there weren’t any.As part of the hotel’s security policy, the rooms are supposed to have cameras keeping watch at all times.All the rooms on the floors above have the best cameras that money can buy and are stationed at every important part of the room, affording not even
The Midnight Heir CALL IT EVEN
“Because of how we got in contact to work on this together Sir, you should already know that I’ve been working with our mutual friend for a long time and that’s why he had enough trust to request me for this task,” Mr. Young said, referring to Investigator Kim.Anthony nodded his head in understanding.“Well, because of how long I’ve been doing this, this isn’t the first time I’ve come to get some evidence against someone in this exact hotel. That’ll also mean that it isn’t my first time seeing that woman here with someone before” Mr. Young said, flicking his head at Marilyn and her eyes shone wide.“At first it was a coincidence that I ran into her and the bartender taking someone up in the elevator but because I had a job to do I paid it no mind. It was when I had another job and then saw her and the same bartender taking another person to a room that I decided to take note of her” Mr. Young said and Marilyn started to tremble that he knew of her other escapades.“While doing my oth
The Midnight Heir GERALD’S PROPOSAL
“What are you doing here?!” Marilyn asked as she tilted her head and scowled.In front of her was Gerald who supported the weight of his body by having a hand on the wall right next to the door hinges, hunched as he pants.Marilyn jolted and creased her forehead when something about him caught her attention.She leaned forward a bit, sniffed around him then she looked utterly disgusted, saying “And you’re drunk. Who said you can come up to my room while smelling like a brewery, huh you idiot?!”“In fact, who said you can come up to my room period?! Do you really want to get fired that bad because that’s what it seems like? This is the second time you’re getting on my nerves”Gerald burped then said “Yeah, I know I’m asking for it but you have to listen to me for a second Mari— I mean madam”Gerald burped again “Sorry bout that but like I was saying, the other staff have all banded together over what happened between you and them and now they’re looking for you to challenge you…”Geral
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
