Hale couldn't bring Julian and Aurora home right away. It would be dangerous for them, and they would definitely find it easier to return to terrorize the Montague mansion. So, Hale decided to detour his destination a little further and make a detour."Sir Julian and Mrs. Aurora, hold on tight." Hale tried to give an early warning."Put this on," said Julian, who helped put the seat belt on Aurora."I'm scared, Julian." Aurora whispered into Julian's ear."We'll be fine, trust me."Julian fastened his own belt and took Aurora's hand to calm her down. Julian also smiled while continuing to gently stroke the back of Aurora's hand. Meanwhile, Hale focused on driving and increased his speed.The car chasing Julian also did not give up; they continued to speed up and even almost matched the speed of his car. Not infrequently, Hale honked and overtook all the vehicles that were blocking them."Mr. Hale, get over there." Julian had an idea and told Hale to overtake and turn."Alright, sir."
Aurora, who was being held back by the man, had no choice but to stop and turn around. Aurora could see the man clearly—the man who was matched with her, Lucas."Lucas, let me go!" Aurora groaned and tried to release her wrists from Lucas' grasp."Where are you going?" Lucas asked Aurora while frowning."Let go, my wife!" Julian reprimanded him sternly and shifted back to the car door.Julian threw Lucas' hand away from Aurora. Then, Julian helped Aurora into the car. Lucas looked at Julian sharply and rebuked him before the car door closed."What did you do to Aurora, Theo?" Lucas even recognized Julian's name."None of your business." Julian replied firmly and immediately closed the door.Julian's car drove away from Lucas' presence. Meanwhile, Lucas couldn't do much, but he knew where Aurora was now. Lucas quickly grabbed his cell phone and called someone."Hello, Mrs. Kingsley. This is Lucas," Lucas greeted first once the line was connected."Mrs. Kingsley, I just met Aurora at the
The next day, Julian woke up to his cell phone ringing. Julian reached for the nightstand next to his bed and grabbed his cell phone. With both eyes still reluctant to open, Julian tried to read the caller's name."Hello," greeted Julian, who still didn't realize who was calling him."Theo, meet me at the cafe the last time we met." A familiar voice was heard by Julian's hearing senses."Mr. Kingsley?" Julian immediately opened his eyes and sat up."Yes, I'll send you the address. We met at 10 a.m. this morning," Sebastian explained without waiting for Julian's reply."Mr. Kingsley, Theo can't come now." Julian explained his condition, but Sebastian immediately switched off the phone.Julian had no choice but to listen to Sebastian's orders. Julian looked at Aurora, who was still sound asleep. Julian kissed her forehead before getting up from his bed.***"Does he want to see you?" asked Felicity, who had been eavesdropping beside Sebastian."He can't possibly refuse my request." Sebas
"Are you really the son of Lord Montague?" Sebastian, who was also surprised by the news, immediately approached Julian.Julian, who was initially silent, turned to Sebastian. Julian seems to have been unable to cover all this. Felicity, who had also given Julian an unhappy look, now began to melt."Sir, are you okay?" Hale came in a hurry and approached Julian."Mr. Hale, I'm fine. Why is Mr. Hale here?" Julian looked at Mr. Hale with a frown."I saw the police come in here, and I decided to make sure that everything was okay.""Yes, Mr. Hale, I'm fine." Julian reassured Hale and seemed to tell him to go back outside.Hale, who understood the code given by Julian, finally decided to get back into the car. Aurora was in the car, and Julian didn't want everyone here to know that."Then, if you'll excuse me," Julian said goodbye to everyone without answering Sebastian's question.Everyone gave way and let Julian out just like that. Meanwhile, Felicity approached Sebastian while staring
The news of the Kingsley family's blacklisting spread immediately. All the families, such as the Cavendish, Vanderbilt, and Beaumont families, had heard the news, including the Kingsleys."What the hell?" Felicity cried out as soon as she saw the message saying that the Kingsleys had been excluded from the elite group of businessmen."Honey, calm down.""How can I calm down? That orphan is so clueless. How dare he do this to us?"Felicity walked back and forth in front of her husband, Sebastian, who also couldn't believe that his family would become like this."It's all your fault; you shouldn't have brought that boy here and married him off to Aurora." Felicity pointed a finger at her husband, who had been silent."Why is it my fault? I didn't know it would turn out like this. I didn't know he was a Montague.""That's enough! Now, I want you to fix all this. I don't want to be expelled; this is really embarrassing."Felicity stomped her foot on the floor before turning to leave. Sebas
Isadora left her house and immediately went to Julian's residence. Isadora knew Julian's residence because she knew very well where the Montague family lived.“What an unlucky human! How could he do such a cruel thing to the foster family that raised him?”Isadora continued to mutter throughout the journey to the Montague residence. The car Isadora was driving was traveling at a constant speed of 80km/h.“Open the gate!” Isadora shouted to the main gatekeeper of the Montague residence.Unfortunately, the gatekeeper did not open it and approached Isadora. “Excuse me, Miss, what is it?”“I'm Isadora Kingsley, I need to see Julian right now!” Isadora replied excitedly.“I'm sorry, but we can't let you in.” The guard replied sternly.“What? How can you not? I'm Julian's sister-in-law. How dare you say that!” Isadora couldn't take it and cursed at the guard.“I'm sorry, but we don't accept guests from the Kingsley family.” The guard was getting provocative.Isadora, who heard that, immedia
"Hale," Julian called as he sat in his work chair and stared at a file he had to check.Julian turned his chair, put the file on the table, and looked at Hale standing before his desk. Julian put both hands on the table and looked straight at Hale seriously. Hale saluted Julian and waited for the task he was about to give."I want you to teach someone a lesson," Julian said in a tone that sounded very angry."Who, sir?" Hale asked to make sure what he was thinking about was the same person Julian had in mind."Isadora Kingsley," Julian said the name steadily. "Don't let anyone know about this, especially not Aurora.""Yes, sir." Hale nodded his head."Let me know where you take her and make sure it's far enough away from the city. Is that clear?""Clear, sir. I'll take two of my men to bring Isadora.""Good, do it without any mistakes," Julian spoke like a much different person than before.I don't know what possessed Julian, but he became more courageous to make a big decision. Julia
Julian, who was being driven back home, immediately stopped the driver. "Take me to the Night Owl Lounge.""Yes, sir." Without arguing, the driver immediately turned the steering wheel and headed to the place Julian wanted.On the way, Julian's cell phone rang from the inside pocket of his suit. Julian took it out and looked at the name that appeared on his cell phone screen. Julian shifted the green button and picked it up immediately."Honey, I want to invite you to dinner today. Are you done with your office business?" Aurora's voice came clearly from behind Julian's cell phone.Julian listened while staring out the windshield before replying, "I'm not going home tonight. Eat alone.""Why? Do you have extra work or are you still angry with me?" Aurora asked in a tone that sounded sad."Never mind, I'm busy. The point is I won't be home tonight," Julian explained before simply turning off his cell phone.Aurora, who was on the other side of the phone, was surprised and could only st
Julian and Hale jumped out of their car and entered the police station. Julian walked in confidently while his head was full of scenarios. Julian walked into the police workroom and stopped in the middle of the room. The head of police looked at Julian and approached him. “Sir, what can I help you with?” He inquired, focusing his gaze closely on Julian. Julian was looking back with confidence. “I want to find someone who shot Serena Cavendish.” Everyone was looking at him but didn’t really care about it. “Please, sit.” The head of police guided Julian to his table. While walking to his table, Julian looked around and tried to find someone who looked suspicious. But everyone was busy working on their table. Julian and Hale didn’t smell something strange, but they stayed alert. The policeman took a note and sat in front of Julian. “Can you explain the chronological?” “It was two days ago at night when we were having dinner,” explained Julian in detail while he gave a code to Hale t
“Hale, send five bodyguards to Serena,” Julian ordered Hale while standing from his position.“Yes, sir.” Hale accepted it without even asking the reason.Julian walked past Hale and jumped into his car, “Give me the key.”Hale gave the key, Julian turned on the engine and drove away from the parking lot, leaving Hale alone. Julian drove his car at full speed and stopped in front of Vanderbilt’s house. Julian didn’t even bother to turn off the engine and just jumped out of the car, leaving the car door open.“Where is Elijah?” Julian asked the security when they stopped Julian at the front gate. “I want to meet him.”“Have you already had an appointment with him?” The security asked like he didn’t know who Julian was.“I don’t need an appointment to meet him,” answered Julian in a stern voice. “ELIJAH, COME HERE YOU BASTARD!”“Sir, please watch your attitude!” The security reminded him and made sure Julian stayed outside.Julian snorted in annoyance and tried to push past him impatien
Serena's POVAs soon as the ambulance arrived, Julian immediately helped the nurses lift my body onto the hospital bed. They took me to the ambulance and went to the hospital immediately. During the trip, my hand continued to hold Julian's hand without daring me to let go.“Excuse me, Miss. We'll help you put the device on,” said the nurse while putting on the breathing apparatus for me.I looked at the car ceiling with my heart still beating fast. However, over time, my gaze became unfocused and my body became very calm. A few seconds later, my eyes closed, and I couldn't remember what happened after that.“Julian,” I called out when I felt my consciousness starting to return.I opened my eyes slowly and kept calling Julian's name. Julian was one of the people I remembered and the last person who accompanied me to the hospital. My vision has started to focus, and my hearing is back to normal.“Honey, do you still feel pain?”“Can you hear Papa?”The voices of Papa and Mama, aka Mr. a
Julian arrived at the restaurant where Serena and he had met. Julian was already wearing a black shirt with the top two buttons open, black trousers, and phantom shoes. Julian looked so handsome that he even managed to attract the attention of the women who were eating at the restaurant.“Where is Serena?” muttered Julian without caring about the stares of the women who tried to tease him.Right at that moment, Julian saw Serena sitting alone in the middle of the room. Serena was wearing a long white dress that showed her thighs. Julian approached her and smiled as soon as he saw her face. Serena immediately gave Julian a sweet smile and invited him to sit down.“Have you been waiting long?” Julian pulled out his chair and sat opposite Serena.“Not really,” Serena replied, looking indifferent, and then called the waiter. “Can I have the menu?”The waiter handed Serena and Julian the menu, gave them a recommendation, and wrote down their order. The waiter left with the order and menu b
“Did you send it to them?” Julian, who was walking towards the car, asked Hale.“I have, sir, and I have deactivated the number.” Hale did his job well.“Good, now we can relax for a while.” Julian sat in the back seat while unbuttoning his jacket.The car they were driving immediately slipped into the middle of a busy street. Julian picked up his tablet and opened a video to watch. Julian was sure that the journey home would take longer than expected. Hale also listened to music at a low volume during the trip to avoid distracting Julian.Arriving home, Julian went straight into his room and cleaned himself up. Tonight, he enjoyed his evening by watching movies and even bringing his tablet to the dining table. After completing all the rituals, Julian gets ready for bed. Julian stared out the window for a moment before closing the curtains.“Whose car is that?” Julian saw a Jeep parked not far from his house, while the distance between neighbors was a little far apart, so a car couldn
“Great, thanks for your cooperation.”Julian told Isadora with a big smile. Julian showed he would not lose or give in to her this time. Isadora, who looked annoyed, could do nothing but stare at him. Julian and Hale packed up and left Isadora alone again in that lonely, stuffy, and dark place.“You human asshole!” Isadora shouted before the building door closed.Julian could of course hear the screams, but he ignored them completely. Julian and Hale went straight to the office to continue their work. Hale is tasked with editing Isadora's video and sending it to the family.Hale sends Isadora's video to Felicity Kingsley with a one-time view setting. Hale also confirmed with Julian before sending it. Once it was sent, they didn't expect any reply because they knew the video was convincing enough for them and Julian made sure it couldn't be used as evidence.“Thanks, Hale,” Julian said before Hale disappeared.***On that sunny morning, the Kingsley family tried to gather their positiv
Hale's car arrived in front of the hospital and he immediately ran to open the door. Julian jumped into the car with a happy feeling. Julian made it home as the sky darkened and cars flocked home.“Sir, how did you get out?” A curious Hale broke the silence between the two of them.“I gave him a check for enough money,” Julian replied while staring straight out the window.Hale didn't answer and immediately knew that the method was effective in this condition. The two of them returned to silence until they finally arrived home. Julian immediately unbuttoned his shirt because he had been feeling hot since before. Before Julian walked towards his room, Julian stopped and looked at Hale who followed him from behind.“Tomorrow, we will visit Isadora,” Julian explained slowly so as not to be heard by others. “We will only go together.”“Yes, sir.” Hale nodded his head in understanding of the current alarming situation.Julian immediately returned to his room and cleaned up. Tonight, Julian
Julian was taken by two policemen into a car. Hale, who couldn't help him, insisted on going with Julian to the police station. However, the police detained him because they intended to search for evidence at Julian's house.“Let me come,” Hale said with emotion.“I'm sorry, but we need permission to examine this house.”Hale, who had no other choice, decided to stay at home. Hale stared at Julian's back who had disappeared in the crowd of media crews. Julian got into the police car without being able to do anything. Julian felt that the Kingsley family had gone too far for him to do something like this.The police car drove to the police station with Julian inside. Julian could only remain silent during the trip. Julian stared straight ahead without saying anything to the police officer. Julian was thinking of a plan to be free from this charge.“Get down!” A policeman opened the car door and told Julian to get off immediately.Julian obeyed without much rebellion or argument. Julian
The next day, Julian came out of the lodging room and looked at Serena's closed door. Julian walked to the door of Serena's room and intended to say goodbye. However, Julian's hand stopped when he wanted to knock on the door. Julian undid his intention because he didn't want to disturb Serena and went straight home.“Mr. Julian is going home?” asked the aunt, who was sweeping the front yard of the inn."Yes, Auntie, thank you for the reception. I'll drop by again sometime,” Julian replied politely with a big smile.“Well, Auntie will be happy if Mr. Julian can visit again.” Auntie also replied with a smile. “Be careful on the road,” she continued.Julian nodded his head and got into the car. Julian left before the sun had come up, so the roads were still very quiet. Julian drove at an average speed of 80 km/h, accompanied by soothing music.Julian decided to stop at a cafe to buy an iced Americano. After that, Julian drove home. During the trip, Julian felt a little bad, but he tried
