At his mansion, Julius sat in his comfortable leather chair while he was on the phone with his dad. They exchanged business talks and discussed how to move Sabbath Luxuria forward.Suddenly, Mr. Turner knocked gently on the door, and just after he finished the call, Julius said, “Come in, Mr. Turner.”Mr. Turner stepped into Julius’ home office quietly. His appearance was not different from usual: a black fitted suit and an earpiece nestled in his ear. However, there was something unusual he held firmly in his hand.Crinkled at the edges, bearing the weight of inked stories and headlines, its pages slightly yellowed with age. “What is that, Mr. Turner?” Julius couldn't help but be curious about what Mr. Turner was holding.“This is why I came to see you, sir,” Mr. Turner said.“I'm afraid you'll have to take a look for yourself,” Mr. Turner added as he stretched out his hand to Julius with a bow.Right at the moment when Julius received what Mr. Turner gave him, he saw that it was ind
Just as Julius was informed about the arrival of the press, he rose gently to his feet and fastened his suit buttons into the appropriate holes. As he did so, he took his first step forward, and Mr. Turner bowed to him, then opened the door for his master to exit the home office. Exiting the home office, every bodyguard stationed at strategic corners bowed to Julius as he confidently and gently passed them. In a similar vein, each housekeeper, engrossed in their tasks, paused and bowed as Julius walked by. Descending the grand staircase with Mr. Turner behind him, Julius could see through the tall, glassy windows that a number of press representatives were indeed waiting for him in his compound. He observed that none of these press members were seated. They stood with their tall cameras, their subordinates behind them, and their black vans bearing the names of TV stations. When he finally stepped out of his mansion through the front door, Julius noticed how each reporter quickly att
**Olivia’s P.O.V.** Seeing what just happened on TV, Olivia couldn't believe her eyes. She knew there was something different about Julius Sabbath the instant he walked up to her and Alexander and made Alexander have a deal with him at the Golden Gavel Auction. Nevertheless, she did not know Julius was the only heir of the Great Sabbath Family. "What?" she exclaimed very loudly the instant she saw this on the news. The glass cup she held in her hands fell to the hard floor and broke instantly into pieces. It was more like she was having a nightmare when she saw that the ex-boyfriend she had betrayed, mocked, and ridiculed, even to the whole student body of the university, was in fact the only heir? "What?" she exclaimed again, which piqued the curiosity of her whole household. Her mother, her aunt, her younger brother, and her grandmother all came to the sitting room with their curiosity at the tip of their noses. "Why are you screaming like that, Olivia? I told you never to screa
Finally reading everything in the caption, Olivia passed the phone to her mother, who read it herself, equally shocked. Seeing her mother's reaction, Aunt Cynthia snatched the phone from her, and with this, she read everything on the Great Sabbath Family's verified Instagram page at once. They were shocked by the bone marrow.“How come that poor thing is the only heir, and we did not know?” Patricia muttered sadly.“We have said too many horrible things to him and looked down upon him too much. How do we go forward from here?” Patricia said.“Maybe she can just go beg him, and he will take her back.” Grandma Mildred said suddenly, and each one of them, including Olivia, looked at her as if she did not know what she was saying.“I know each of you thinks I am crazy right now, but hear me out,” Grandma Mildred said.“Men love for love, but women love for the advantage they can get from the man. This is why men date down or, better yet, marry down, while on the other hand, ladies date gu
Seeing how beautiful she looked after she dressed, not only did Patricia compliment her beauty, but Aunt Cynthia and Grandma Mildred also did. In their words, Grandma Mildred said, “Julius would only be blind if he didn’t see your beauty and wanted to have you back.”Olivia smiled widely at this compliment. She was the kind of lady who loved being complimented, and on that day, she indeed knew that she was very beautiful. Hence, she only offered a slight smile in response.As she got out of the house, she was not alone. Grandma Mildred, Patricia, Aunt Cynthia, and even Ethan, like a family seeing off their beloved daughter at the airport, enveloped her in a hug as they waved goodbye to Olivia.“I wish you good luck.” Each of them waved to her with buoyant smiles on their faces as they watched her flag down a taxi and step into it.As the taxi driver moved the car, “To the Sabbath Mansion,” she said with a smile still on her face. In response, the taxi driver said, “Yes, ma’am. The Sab
“Are there any exemptions to this rule?” Olivia forced herself to ask after standing at the gate for quite a few minutes and still being unable to go through. "The exemption is only for the family members of the boss," the guard said confidently, his tone as resolute as a seasoned gatekeeper defending his master's domain. This prompted Olivia to inquire further, her curiosity stirring like a restless breeze on a hot summer day, seeking relief in the shade of the guard's explanation. “What about his girlfriend?” “Certainly, if the boss has a girlfriend, she is also exempted from this policy and can come in at any time she wants,” the guard explained, his words flowing like a stream over smooth pebbles, carrying with them a sense of authority softened by understanding. With that, Olivia swiftly retrieved her phone from her purse. As she brought out her phone, she quickly scroll through G****e Photos and launched her backup photos. Scrolling down further, like a roll of the dice, she
Finally walking for what seemed like a journey spanning eternity from the gate to the mansion, Olivia was already sweating profusely, her brow glistening like a marathon racer who had been running relentlessly for three days without rest.She heaved a heavy breath immediately upon reaching the mansion. And in a spectacle that surpassed her wildest dreams, she beheld the magnificence of the mansion and the array of luxurious vehicles adorning Julius's compound."Wow!" she exclaimed more times than she could count. Each luxurious sight before her was a manifestation of opulence she never imagined she would witness in her lifetime.With the meticulously manicured gardens with exotic flowers and rare plants, the cascading waterfalls flowing into serene ponds stocked with colorful koi fish, the tennis court boasting professional-grade surfaces, and the fully equipped outdoor kitchen and dining area designed for entertaining guests, all of these things made Olivia find herself in a state of
Taking her order and walking further into the mansion, it was not up to thirty minutes before Olivia saw the same lady coming right back towards her.In this way, Olivia observed how she carefully balanced a tray laden with an exquisite spread of culinary delights. The main dish, expertly plated and garnished with fresh herbs, was placed at the center of the tray, showcasing all its delicious glory.Alongside it rested a side dish, elegantly arranged to complement the main course, with its vibrant colors and enticing aromas tantalizing the senses, and Olivia could not help but salivate.On one side of the tray, a selection of appetizers was arranged with precision, each bite-sized delicacy presented with artistic flair, from delicate canapés to savory tartlets.Completing the ensemble, a bottle of fine wine was cradled securely in the lady’s other hand, its label gleaming under the ambient light."Here, ma’am,” the lady said politely as she reached Olivia and placed the tray on a stan
