He didn't get it. Sean complained to him about how she's been staring at Dylan all through the event. He wasn't happy about it and of course, he understood so he decided to confront her by asking, "Why are you being so worked up about Dylan, Hermione? You shouldn't concern yourself about what he does anymore."Madame Sharon let out a harsh breath with a pouty expression and complained like she's been doing in the car. "I can't believe how this event went. I felt like an unimportant guest. Like a ghost. I thought being invited to this event was a step up the pyramid but I couldn't even get any

"Shit!"Dylan cursed he ran for his life with Azure King beside him. The bullets were just throwing at different places but they kept running, hoping it didn't target them.Azure King finally got to a blue SUV car waiting for him and opened the passenger seat before shouting, "Get in!"Without wasting any time, Dylan got in and Azure King followed, then he slammed the door shut. "Ok, drive."The car started and it sped away.Dylan held the arm that was hit by a bullet and his face contorted at the pain that shot through his body."You're seriously bleeding." Azure King made it known as he looked at his bloodied arm.Then princess Mane hollered as she drove, "I do not want my car stained with blood. It'll be hard to clean."Dylan could only scoff and looked away out the window as they drove past different people and things."So as my father thought, there's someone targeting you, but who?" Azure King began the serious conversation that got Dylan's attention.Dylan looked at him with an

The next day, Dylan got a call from the Harpers that they needed to see him urgently. He knew they were gonna call him but he was surprised they didn't do that yesterday. They probably didn't have the courage.He's also gonna use the chance to know if it was Harold who attempted to kill him. Hopefully, he's around and not hanging out with Sean.He was still wearing the arm sling when he arrived at the Harpers villa. He talked inaudibly to the securities for a long while, and gave them huge amounts of money which they gracefully accepted with endless bows and 'thank you' which were the only audible words that were heard.Then he walked toward the living room entrance and knocked on the door.The door opened and he was face to face with Harold who gave him a smirk before letting him in. "So, as usual, you can't fend for yourself, Harold. You're still eating out of your aunt's hand like a dog." Dylan annoyed and looked at him.Harold's face fell, his eyes red and his hands fisted in ange

She always made sure she looked enticing every single time.So she asked, "Are you okay, mom? You look sick."Madame Sharon could only sigh. She went to get a glass of water and she drank her medicine.She was sure it wasn't a dream though.Her phone in her hand suddenly began ringing. She looked at the caller ID and saw it was unknown but she picked it up anyway, "Hello. Who's this?""Hi, Madame Sharon." She heard a familiar female voice. "You miss me?"Madame Sharon blinked, beginning to lose her stamina. "Wh…what?""It's me. The girl you killed. Ravenna."Madame Sharon gasped, moved backward in shock and fear

"Bartender, need a scotch here! Someone on a stool close to the counter hollered.Dylan turned with the bottle of scotch with a glass cup in his hand.

His arm was just bandaged underneath his shirt.A young lady dressed all slutty has had her eyes on him for a while. She's also been trying to give him advances but he kept ignoring her.She knew she had to be more confronting so she waved her hand at him as he finished attending to a table.Dylan sighed, although knowing what she was gonna bother him about but he went anyway.

"Has anyone ever told you you're handsome?" She said as she looked at him like someone planning

Then he heard the police officers asking his father to come to the station for an investigation.Suddenly, his legs went jelly and his phone fell and smashed on the ground.Jacques looked at him with a frown on his face. "What the hell is going on, man? You look like someone who has seen a ghost."Dean kept his eyes on Dylan, his face completely pale and his whole being uneasy. "Wh…what did you do?

Dylan had endured a grueling day, and as he finally arrived home, a genuine smile spread across his face upon seeing Allison waiting for him. The moment he walked through the door, she rushed to him, enveloping him in a brief, warm hug. However, her smile quickly faded into a frown as she pulled away. “Why didn’t you tell me about this?” she asked, her voice tinged with frustration. “How could you keep this from me for so long?” Before Dylan could respond, Stephanie, who had been observing the exchange, interjected with a disapproving look. “He kept it from all of us, including me, his godmother.” Dylan responded with a gentle kiss on Allison’s forehead, his eyes filled with affection. “Well, you know now, don’t you? Sometimes, it’s best to leave certain things in the past and focus on moving forward.” At that moment, Madame Beth cleared her throat, drawing everyone’s attention. Maya, with a beaming smile, walked over to her father, who happily lifted her into his arms. Daddy

Hermione and Alison stood up simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the TV in shock. Hermione, holding her baby, quickly set the child down and moved closer to the screen. “Oh my God, Mom, what’s going on?! Dylan is on the screen! What’s happening?!” she shouted, turning to her mother for answers. Sharon, equally stunned, gulped and struggled to comprehend the situation. Her breaths came in short, heavy gasps as she shook her head. “I have no idea, Hermione! We’re both seeing the same thing!” Hermione took a shaky breath, her eyes wide as she turned back to the screen. There, Dylan stood, facing the crowd and the camera with a smirk that made him look impossibly handsome. She couldn’t tear her gaze away. “Surely… it can’t be his twin, right? This doesn’t make any sense,” she murmured, still fixated on the image. Sharon looked away briefly, blinking as she tried to make sense of the revelations. “Come to think of it, Dylan really was the one who made that contract possible, and he bo

"Stephanie! Oh my God, Stephanie, is that really you?!" Caroline exclaimed, her voice filled with astonishment as she saw Stephanie entering the ward, accompanied by Dylan and a young girl. Stephanie's reaction was immediate; she covered her face with her hands, overwhelmed by emotion. Tears welled up in her eyes as she recognized Caroline. "Oh my God, Caroline..." she choked out, rushing forward to embrace her. "You're alive! I can't believe you're really alive!" Caroline, her own eyes glistening with tears, nodded as they pulled away from their hug. "It's so good to see familiar faces," she said, her voice trembling with emotion. "I thought you had left the country." Stephanie shook her head, her expression serious. "I came back after everything happened. I realized that your children needed me, so I stayed. For them." Caroline looked puzzled. "Children?" Her eyes then fell on the little girl in Dylan's arms, her breath catching in her throat. "Oh my God, is this my granddaught

Dylan’s return to the hospital sparked a flurry of emotions within Alison, who dashed towards him with tears streaming down her face. “Where have you been?” she exclaimed, her voice trembling with worry.Dylan’s eyes widened in surprise, and he gently grasped her arm, pulling her away from him slightly. “Why? What’s wrong? Why are you so upset? Is everything alright? Is Jenna alright?”Alison nodded with a sigh. “Yes, Jenna is stable, thankfully. But I was so worried about you. You were saying something earlier, then suddenly disappeared. And when I tried calling you, there was no response. You can’t imagine how worried and anxious I’ve been, especially with my sister in the hospital.”Dylan let out a sigh of relief and enveloped her in a comforting embrace. “I’m sorry for causing you worry. I didn’t mean to add to your stress. But I’m back now, and everything’s under control. Those responsible for this situation are facing the consequences, and we’re safe now.”Alison gazed at him, a

Gunshots echoed through the air, causing Sean to gasp in shock and stumble backward in fear. Before anyone could fully grasp what was happening, a dozen men, led by Azure King, appeared behind Dylan, their presence intimidating and determined.Dylan sneered, his confidence unwavering. “You were right, Sean. I am the boss of Apex Conglomerate, which means I have people at my beck and call. Why should I be intimidated by mere threats from inconsequential people like you?”Romero’s hand began to tremble as he continued pointing the gun at Dylan’s mother. “Move an inch, and she’s dead. I’ll pull the trigger, and I promise you, Dylan, even if I die here, you’ll lose.”Dylan sighed, taking Adonis’s gun from behind him. In a split second, before anyone could react, he fired. The bullet pierced through Romero’s forehead, and he slumped to the floor, lifeless.Sean’s eyes widened in horror, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably. He immediately raised his hands and fell to his knees. “Pl

Dylan did not hesitate for even a moment upon receiving the address from Romero. The urgency in his steps reflected the agitation in his mind, as he ensured his gun was securely tucked at his side. The possibility of seeing his mother alive, even if shackled and bound, overpowered all sense of reality. He couldn’t think straight. He needed to understand why he had seen his mother, who he had believed to be dead. Though he suspected it might be a trap, a flicker of hope kept him moving forward.As he approached the building described in the address, its dilapidated exterior did nothing to allay his fears. The structure looked abandoned from the outside, but as he steeled himself and ventured further inside, his eyes quickly fell upon a wooden door, flanked by two imposing men.One of the men, noticing Dylan’s arrival, smirked and spoke in a tone that was both welcoming and sinister, “The boss has been expecting you.” Without further ado, he swung the door open, inviting Dylan into in

Standing alone outside the hospital, Dylan dialed Azure King’s number, his fingers trembling slightly with the weight of the situation. As the call connected, he spoke urgently into the phone."He’s closing in on me, Adonis. I fear he’s not playing games anymore. I reckon he was aiming for Allison, but he ended up shooting her sister instead.""Damn it, this just escalated real fast. There's a good chance Romero Hermes is feeling the heat now. He's itching to wrap this up and he's not backing down. He's baiting you, and you can't afford to fall into his trap," Azure King cautioned over the phone.Dylan’s jaw clenched with determination. "I won't let that happen. But I want him taken down, and I want it done swiftly. I'm not interested in seeing him rot behind bars. I just want him out of the picture for good," Dylan declared firmly before hanging up.On edge and with a heart weighed down by concern, Dylan reached out to Stephanie, knowing she was anxiously awaiting updates on Julia’s

Dylan stormed out of the house, his heart racing with worry, his fingers frantically dialing Allison’s number, his mind praying fervently for her safety. The gunshots he heard sent a shiver down his spine, signaling that something had gone terribly wrong.“Dylan, where on earth are you rushing off to?” Stephanie’s concerned voice trailed after him as she hurried to catch up.Dylan came to an abrupt halt, his gaze locking with Stephanie’s as he struggled to contain his urgency. “Steph, listen to me. Stay put inside the house, alright? Don’t come out,” he instructed firmly, a sense of urgency lacing his words like a tight knot.Stephanie’s brow furrowed in confusion and worry. “But why? What’s going on out there? And where in the world are you off to in such a hurry? she demanded, her concern mounting with each passing second as she noticed how restless he was.Dylan’s lips pressed into a thin line as he struggled to find the right words. “Look, Steph, I… I was just talking to Allison o
