Caspian, relaxing on a high-end custom-regal designed couch, hears his phone vibrate for a moment. Grabbing it, he realizes it's a video call from his mother, Lady Ciara. In an instant, he swipes his finger to the right on the screen, chiming, "Hello mom. How have you been?" "Well, I'm doing fine over here. It's just that the weather is a bit harsh on me," Lady Ciara, her voice soft, replied with a smile. "Sorry about that. You know winter can be stubborn," Caspian said. "Yesterday, I was at Nebulon headquarters; I asked you, but I was told you're not on the seat. Hope no problem?" She inquired. "I was too busy," Caspian sighed. "I think that's good news to hear from you," Lady Ciara muttered, squealing in delight. Caspian chuckled lightly, his words thankful, "It's a pleasure, mom. Thanks for calling." "You're welcome, dear," Lady Ciara asserted. Caspian, in a glum tone, mentioned, his brows cocked. "How's dad, huh?" Lady Ciara, sighing in worries, muttered, "he's fine. Any
Steering the joystick of the drone controller, Heather exclaimed, "Master, I have new intel." Caspian, intrigued, sighed before asking, "What is it?" Heather reported while expertly piloting the spy drone, "I tracked three Mercedes-Benz buses en route to Enzo's mercenary base. Looks like they're transporting something."Caspian rushed over to Heather, eagerly peering at the remote controller screen to see the live feed. "Adjust the altitude," he instructed.She added, "I think they may be filled with fake gold bars." "Excellent! We've caught them in the act," excitedly exclaimed Caspian, his dimples emerging from his cheeks."I knew Enzo couldn't be trusted. He's always planning something devious," asserted Caspian sharply."Well, I can't wait to give him a taste of his own medicine. I'll make sure he kneels down and begs for mercy," vowed Caspian determinedly.Heather called Caspian's attention, "Master, I'm flying at a low altitude." She added, "About 2 meters.""Do you think th
"Do you still want to buy the mall, or is this some kind of joke?" Enzo exclaimed in surprise as Caspian fell silent."I'm not joking. Just give me a moment to think," Caspian replied, his eyes fixed on a distant point as he pondered."Oh, so you can't afford $7 billion?" Enzo teased, noticing Caspian's deep concentration."Stop giving me a headache, Enzo. Just bring the agreement papers. Are you the one who wants to buy it?" Caspian turned sharply towards Enzo, his voice thick with anger.But Enzo ignored his harsh reaction and instead whined, "Why are you getting so worked up? If you don't have the funds, just say so. We can figure out a way to make it work."Caspian's voice rose with anger. "Enough," he seethed, his eyes narrowing at Enzo.Enzo sneered, unfazed by Caspian's bravado. "Oh, do you want to fight me? Haven't you heard the rumors about how ruthless I am? Just take a look around; my henchmen are standby," Enzo jeered, his words laced with a dangerous edge.Caspian laid d
In a blink, they scattered in search of Caspian."Wait there and don't move!" Enzo's henchmen approached Caspian, their voices laced with menace."Make sure you get him," Enzo seethed as he moved closely behind."Thinks you're wise? You sent our boss a fake bank alert," they said with a smug grin.Caspian laughed loudly, jeering the group. "So you've all come for the money, huh?""Shut up, man. Don't you know Enzo's henchmen are merciless?" one of them retorted.Someone from the onlookers scoffed, "They'll wipe out his bodyguards in no time."The uneven ratio between Enzo's men and Caspian's bodyguards left the latter feeling defeated already.As Caspian continued his mocking gestures, their anger boiled over, and they lunged at him. Suddenly, Scorpio and Nox appeared out of nowhere to defend their boss.The two groups engaged in a fierce battle, where blows exceeding 800 pounds struck faces and bodies. Scorpio and Nox couldn't handle Enzo's skilled henchmen, despite their superior nu
Caspian let out a deep, exasperated sigh. "So, you finally embarrassed this man, Enzo.""He left me no choice," Lounging on a plush sun lounger in his designer beach attire, Caspian replied with nonchalance. Basking in the elegance of the beachside setting, he reclined on the luxurious cushions with a mischievous grin on his face."I can't help but wonder...it all seems like a puzzle to me," Sylvie interjected with genuine curiosity, gesturing with warmth."And what is it?" Caspian leaned forward eagerly, sensing some hidden meaning behind her words."How did your mall end up right next to Enzo's, before you even had any conflict with him? Did you know about his mall beforehand?" Sylvie's accusation hung heavy in the air."It was just a coincidence," Caspian responded smoothly, exchanging a stern look with Sylvie. But his voice held a hint of satisfaction as he added, "And I'm glad that coincidence allowed me to put him in his place." Sylvie, clad in a colourful bikini, sat next t
As Caspian and Sylvie got comfortable, a male waiter emerged, confidently making his way towards them. Another female waiter came after him, carrying trays of delectable food that were placed before them in a precise manner. "Boss, anything else?" one of them asked. "Nothing," Caspian replied sharply. But then he reconsidered, his eyes lingering on the menu. "Wait, what brands of wines do you have?" he inquired, bringing the waiters to a halt. "We have the finest selection, sir," one of them boasted, listing off expensive and rare wines like trophies. "Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon (1992) - $500,000, Penfolds Grange Hermitage (1951) - $38,000 to $50,000, Chateau Margaux 1787 - $225,000, Cheval Blanc 1947 - $304,375, Chateau Lafite 1869 - $232,692..." Caspian's mind raced as he assessed the prices of each bottle, weighing his options before making his decision. "Bring us the Château Margaux," he declared confidently. The waiters nodded obediently. "Very good, sir. We will bring
Caspian's blood boiled as he read the words on the device screen. "Expired?" Muttering in disbelief, his voice carried a mixture of frustration and annoyance. Like angry wings, his long lashes fluttered against his flushed cheeks."What the hell?" Caspian cursed under his breath, clenching his fists in anger. He can't believe Kevin had the nerve to embarrass him like this. It was a big pain and it made Caspian seethe with fury.As if sensing his rage, Kevin and Henry burst into mocking laughter, revelling in Caspian's humiliation. Caspian's anger grew stronger as the sound of their authoritative voices filled the air."I told you earlier that he's just a lowly chef, how could he possibly afford $225,000 wine?" Kevin's tone was filled with disdain. He said, "What some millionaires can't even afford to buy?" The cashier blinked in confusion. But before she could speak, Kevin continued his attack, determined to prove that Caspian was nothing but a poor nobody."We thought he brought a
"You're skilled in thievery with a PhD."Kevin seethed with anger at Caspian's insult. He couldn't overlook this, it could tarnish his reputation. His bodyguards were caught off guard by his sudden change in response."I'll make sure they break your jaw for this," Kevin growled.Heartily, Caspian laughed, enjoying the situation. "Looks like I'm not the only thief here," he mocked.Kevin tried to restrain himself. He couldn't afford any rash actions with the police on their way. "When the police get here, you'll have to explain how you got that Diamond platinum card," he taunted, hoping to steer the conversation away from his involvement in the microchip cargo theft."Ha! You think you're so clever? I'll report to the police as well; so we can go down together," Caspian blurted.Suddenly, a voice whispered behind them, "Looks like Kevin Sentinel is involved in a theft." Kevin felt a jolt in their chest as they recognized their cover had been compromised and their plans were disintegr
It was almost afternoon when Caspian arrived home at his villa. In a rush, he tried to open the door but found it locked. He was shocked that Jenna, who he expected to be home, had not arrived. Today was the day he planned to visit his parents and introduce Jenna to them. With a sense of unease, Caspian walked into the dimly lit living room. Using his phone’s smart app, he turned on the chandelier, lighting up the room. He dropped his briefcase and checked his phone. "Babe, where are you? You were supposed to be home by now. Hope no problem?" he typed quickly. As he was about to put the phone down, a loud ding signaled Jenna's response: "I went to shop, I will be back in a few minutes." Reading the message, Caspian heaved a sigh of relief. He put away his briefcase in his home office and went to his bedroom to rest. Thirty minutes later, Caspian's phone buzzed with another message from Jenna announcing her arrival. He sprang to his feet and hurried to the door, eager to welcome

Alyne took a deep breath, clearly relieved as she decided not to leave just because Caspian told her to. In a state of panic, she glanced around, looking for a different option. Turning towards Caspian, she leaned in, her voice barely audible as she inquired, "Hey Caspian, can I ask you something? Is Jenna your girlfriend?" Caspian nodded, his brow furrowed in curiosity and confusion. "Why ask that? Is disrespect okay just because you don't knows if she's my girlfriend?" His voice carried a subtle hint of frustration. "Wait, you weren't married, right? And why do both of you have to criticize me? I'm just trying to look good in our own eyes. Honestly, I did bring a long vest. I took it off upon entering, thinking nobody was home except you," Alyne explained, feeling utterly embarrassed. Relief washed over Alyne as she exhaled deeply, retrieving her vest from her bag. Her words held a combination of gentleness and simmering anger. "But you never mentioned having a girlfriend," she s
Caspian casually left the extravagant mansion and proceeded to the garden, lured by a sunshade that promised relaxation and fresh air, while enjoying a Netflix video on his phone.Before long, Jenna appeared by his side.Caspian’s presence beside him sent a sudden shiver down his spine, distracting him from his focus. Jenna, her breath barely audible, inquired softly, "Caspian, what is the movie's theme and genre?"Caspian's smile gleamed as he faced Jenna, whispering, "There's this dragon film called 'Damsel'—packed with action and adventure. Do you care to watch it with me?"A sardonic smile appeared on Jenna’s lips as she spoke, her voice betraying a hint of strain, "I'm not much of a fan of action flicks, especially the shoot-'em-up kind. I prefer something with a bit more heart and uh, passion. Got any good romance or drama films?""Um, this one's strange. They haven't used any weapons. It's different," Caspian said, trying to persuade Jenna to join him. Noticing her disinterest
With Jenna by his side, Caspian was met by bouncers at the club entrance who eyed them with smug expressions. Before grabbing his ticket from his denim pocket, Caspian confidently patted Jenna's back. As he brandished his VIP pass at the bouncers in black dresses, they recoiled and gave him disapproving glares."Where did this young man get a VIP ticket like this?" one of them sneered under their breath."Maybe he stole it," another whispered, not realizing how loud they were speaking.Caspian met their accusations with a stern look, "What are you saying? Are you insane?""Haha, do you even know who I am?" he bellowed, catching the bouncers off guard with his outburst.Caspian's effort to intimidate the bouncers fell flat as they remained silent and unimpressed. Without uttering a single word, they gazed back at him, undisturbed by what he said.The bouncers refused to let Caspian enter the exclusive event with his ticket, claiming it was fake. Feeling frustrated and suspicious, he
Excitement and nervous tension filled the atmosphere as the distinguished families of Mr. Austin and Mr. Gerald assembled in the elegant parlor. Upon arrival, they were greeted by cozy chairs and a table filled with tempting treats. Mrs. Aria and Mrs. Ciara politely engaged in small talk while anxiously anticipating Caspian's arrival, graciously sipping their tea.In the midst of a barely discernible break in conversation, the sound of approaching footsteps seized everyone's notice. The sight of Caspian filled Sylvie with joy, prompting her to quickly reach the door with a beaming smile.Yet, her smile vanished instantly when she noticed his expression - a serious scowl concealing any trace of affection for her. Filled with humiliation and sadness, Sylvie hastily covered her face, unable to endure the feeling of rejection.Refusing to show her pain, she maintained a practiced composure and carried on.Caspian's arrival caught everyone's gaze as he walked over to his parents and then
Caspian and Jenna's interaction caught Melinda's attention, causing her to clear her throat and watch them with suspicion. She couldn't shake off the uneasiness surrounding their relationship. Sensing Melinda's disapproving stare, Jenna asked sharply, "Is there a problem, Melinda?"With a forced smile, Melinda casually responded, acting as if she hadn't heard Jenna's question. Yet, a blend of dissatisfaction and curiosity stirred inside Jenna. It wasn't like her elder sister to hold back her opinion."Jenna," Melinda spoke up finally, unable to contain her irritation any longer. "You were so certain that Caspian was cheating on Sylvie with you, and now you're claiming he's your boyfriend?"Jenna let out a light chuckle, struggling to find the right words to explain herself. "I was just joking around," she said lamely."You said the other time that it's not funny for someone like Caspian to just leave his girlfriend without any reason....." Melinda chimed in.Interrupting, Jenna turne
Jenna's face lit up with a mix of excitement and satisfaction as she walked into the restaurant. With a widening smile, she made her way to the table, excited to meet Caspian for lunch. Before she had a chance to take a seat, a man's friendly smile and confident strides towards her drew her attention.As he came closer, Jenna raised an eyebrow in curiosity. She had no memory of ever having met this man before. "Hey sir, how may I help you?" she asked, her tone polite yet authoritative.Taking a moment to pause, the man's gaze swept over Jenna's face."You look familiar," he said, taken aback by her stunning appearance.Jenna furrowed her eyebrows, studying him closely."I'm sorry, but I don't believe we've met before," she replied calmly, trying to hide her confusion.Smiling, the man then sat across from Jenna, responding, “Not at all,” Sitting in Caspian's spot with a nonchalant familiarity, he made her feel uneasy."Excuse me," Jenna spoke up after a moment, her voice laced with
With a jovial laugh, Mr. Rodriguez patted Henry on the shoulder, his wide smile exposing a flawless set of teeth. Henry's lips released a nervous chuckle while he felt uneasy under Mr. Rodriguez's firm grasp. "Hmm. There are a list of charges against you," Mr. Rodriguez said in a low voice, his tone laced with amusement as he glanced at the papers in front of him. "Sexual assault, embezzlement, conspiracy...quite the resume, wouldn't you say?" The mention of Heather's name caused Henry's heart to sink and a wave of panic to engulf him. Henry couldn't believe that Heather had actually pressed charges against him as well. Mr. Rodriguez didn't wait for him to digest the news and carried on. "Of course, we can't forget about your little plan with Caspian to embezzle funds from Kevin's company," Mr. Rodriguez added with a sneer, clearly enjoying every moment of Henry's discomfort. Yet, Henry persisted and gathered every ounce of confidence and authority he had. "So that's what t
