Her expression was one of determination, her brow furrowed with concern."Excuse me," she said, her voice commanding attention. "I'm here to pick up my brother, George Bolton."The receptionist nodded, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she pulled up George's file. "Of course, Miss Bolton," she replied. "Let me just check his whereabouts for you."Maria tapped her foot impatiently as she waited, her anxiety mounting with each passing second. She had never been one to show vulnerability, but the thought of George wandering off on his own sent a chill down her spine.Finally, the receptionist looked up, her expression troubled. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Bolton," she said hesitantly. "It seems that George excused himself to go outside, but he hasn't returned yet."Maria's heart skipped a beat as she absorbed the news. "What do you mean he hasn't return
The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 93: Released

The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 94: More To The Ring
As they arrived at the mansion, Emily's weak voice broke the silence. "Whose home is this?" she asked, her eyes scanning the elegant surroundings."It belongs to Mr. Radcliffe," Eric replied gently, "and he wouldn't mind us being here."Emily nodded weakly, sinking into the softness of the bed. Her emaciated form showed the suffering she had endured under Maria Bolton's captivity.Eric clenched his jaw tightly, guilt and anger warring within him. Emily had endured unimaginable pain because of him, and he couldn't shake off the weight of responsibility.Moving to her side, Eric brushed a stray strand of hair from Emily's face. "You'll be fine," he assured her softly.Emily's response was feeble. "I don't feel good. I want to see my family."Eric's heart twisted with sympathy. "You'll see them soon," he promised, his voice laced with determination. "But for now, you need to rest. I'll take care of everything."Emily's gratitude was evident as she looked up at him.

The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 95: More About The Ring (II)
"What are you trying to imply?" Eric's voice was tinged with suspicion as he faced Lucius once more."You shouldn't think you can use the ring for only good," Lucius replied cryptically. "To keep it intact, you need to carry out evil as well."Eric's frown deepened, his brows furrowing in consternation. "So, you mean I should stain my hands with blood before I can keep making use of the ring?" he asked incredulously.Lucius's response was twisted, but it still confirmed Eric's worst fears. "In a manner of speaking," he replied, his tone enigmatic."I haven't killed anyone before, and I'm not planning to do so," Eric asserted firmly.Lucius regarded him with a knowing gaze. "But you have killed," he stated matter-of-factly. "Seven men, in fact."Eric's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you referring to Alexander and his men? I didn't kill anyone," he protested.Lucius's response was chilling in its clarity. "You did," he affirmed. "When you called upon the ring for help while Alexander w
The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 96: I Love You
As Emily stirred from her slumber, she felt an unfamiliar sensation wash over her—she felt whole. It was as though the events of the past few days had been nothing more than a distant nightmare. She blinked, trying to make sense of her surroundings, unable to comprehend how she could feel so normal after everything she had endured.Slowly, Emily sat up in bed, her mind still foggy from sleep. She remembered Eric placing the drip in her arm before she drifted off into a deep slumber, but she couldn't explain how she now felt so rejuvenated.Glancing around the room, Emily couldn't shake the surreal feeling that washed over her.

The Mysterious Midnight Magnate 97: Almost Caught
"Wow," Eric began, his voice laced with astonishment. "I... I wasn't expecting this."Sadness flickered across Emily's face at his words, her heart sinking at the thought of Eric not returning her feelings. "It's okay," she replied softly, her voice tinged with disappointment. "If you don't exactly feel the same way I do."Eric's heart clenched at the sight of Emily's crestfallen expression, a pang of guilt washing over him. "No, no," he hurriedly interjected, reaching out to gently grasp her hand in his. "I've always had genuine feelings towards you. In fact, I tried as much as I could to not tell you because I felt you would think I was going too far."Relief flooded Emily's features at Eric's confession, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. "You do have feelings for me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Eric didn't hesitate, closing the distance between them as he placed his hand over hers.
