After the chaos settled and they were able to communicate again over the radio, Caspian asked, "Trident, are you all okay?"He sighedNo response!A shiver of fear ran down Caspian's spine as he repeated, "T...trident, are you guys okay?"Once more, silence met him, stirring up confusion in his thoughts. Had their mission failed? Thirty minutes passed with no sign of life from the explosives they had set. Unexpectedly, Caspian's phone emitted a low rumble, jolting him from his reverie. He eagerly pressed it against his ear, curious to find out who was on the other side."Hello Navy SEALs," a voice boomed, bursting into mocking laughter. Caspian felt a surge of anger as he struggled to recognize the voice.Stunned, he realized that it was Magnus. Lying in wait with his sniper gun, he was consumed by shame."I don't know if we're alive!" Magnus taunted."But listen, if you're trying to protect Jenna because of her status, then you must protect me as well," Magnus yelled out in frustrati
Jenna's heart leapt into her throat as she heard the desperate screams of "Caspian!" She couldn't shake off the feeling of fear and concern. Yet, Caspian was nowhere to be found, lost in the dark depths below."Please save him!" Jenna pleaded, her voice choked with emotion. With flashlights in hand, the Navy SEALs unit dons their maritime gear and swiftly plunges into the water. Their mission was to find both Caspian and Magnus before time ran out.Despite their best efforts, they were only able to find Magnus, who was struggling to keep from sinking. Just in the nick of time, he was rescued, but Caspian was missing. And still Jenna's heart sank as she watched, helpless.On the bare floor, Magnus endured deep pain from his injured kneecap. And after a little treatment, the Navy SEALs team quickly restrained him with handcuffs, ready for return to the city.Magnus started laughing uncontrollably as he accepted the harsh reality of Caspian's possible drowning. His mocking smile gave J
Breathing heavily, Richardson's face contorted with agony, making it hard to discern Jenna's expression.He reached out a hand towards her and spoke softly, "Please, cooperate with me. I never could have imagined this going so wrong."Richardson took charge of the situation and admitted that Magnus had taken possession of them for his gain, his voice tinged with guilt.Silent and captivated, Jenna couldn't avert her gaze from her father's pained face. Her anger towards Magnus burned on after what she had experienced. It was a traumatic experience that she couldn't easily forgive or forget.Caspian let out a sigh of relief and turned to Jenna, speaking in hushed tones, "Mm-hmm. Listen to your father; I think he has admitted his mistakes."Jenna, overcome with doubt, shook her head in shock. She was really angry, but she had to grant her father's request and unwillingly decided to cooperate once more.Yet, in her heart, she questioned the potential consequences if Caspian hadn't stepped
A sleek porsche brought Caspian and Jenna to the fancy boutique where they walked inside. As soon as they entered, a hush fell everywhere. The focus shifted to Caspian, a renowned and highly regarded figure. Jenna experienced a surge of nervousness as she trailed behind him in the store.Caspian smoothly headed to the men's section, while Jenna explored the women's racks of dresses and suits. The excessive displays and expensive price tags left her feeling overwhelmed.Feeling her anxious energy, Caspian turned to her with a warm gaze. "Pick out whatever you like. I'm gonna pay them all," he said reassuringly.Jenna couldn't believe her luck. Caspian's flawless taste had always captivated her, and now she could pick something from this opulent boutique.While Caspian was looking through the racks of Louis Vuitton, his gaze was drawn to an exquisite tuxedo suit in midnight blue. The attire was meticulously made using top-notch materials and had a jacket with a satin lapel, trousers wit
Murmurs and the clinking of glasses filled the opulent grand hall. As the auctioneer stood on the raised platform, a faint smile on his face hinted at the extravagant spectacle that was about to unfold."I welcome all esteemed guests to this auction," the auctioneer boomed, his voice carrying just enough theatrics to heighten the atmosphere.Eagerly, the bidders leaned in, eager to participate in the bidding spectacle. Caspian, too, sensed the tension in the room, a clear indication of the fierce competition that lay ahead.Like a game of chess, each bid involved careful calculation and strategic maneuvers to outwit opponents.The auctioneer held his breath as he declared, "Uh, we are eager to know our first bidder for the Azure Midnight bracelet.""$1 million," a bold voice rang out, igniting a surge of enthusiasm among the bidders.From where he was standing, Caspian shook his head as he watched the other bidders ready to increase the stakes. If he wanted to be the winner, he rea
Sylvie's arms were tightly folded across her chest, a deep scowl etched onto her face as she bellowed at Jenna. "I've already warned you, yet you continue to disrespect me," she growled, her eyes narrowed in anger and hurt."You only dared me because you thought Caspian would protect you," Sylvie accused, leaning in closer with a sharp edge to her voice. She knew that Jenna's presence was a threat to her relationship with Caspian, and it filled her with a sense of dread.As Sylvie watched the two of them together for the second time, she couldn't help but feel a wave of jealousy and despair wash over her. She had always dreamed of taking her relationship with Caspian to the next level, but now it seemed like all those hopes were fading away, especially with Jenna in the picture."I never dared you," Jenna retorted with a smirk, her voice dripping with disdain. "I've told you before, there's nothing going on between us."Sylvie felt a surge of shame and frustration rising within her.
Other business matters had been occupying Caspian's mind for quite some time, but in this particular moment, a fresh determination and sense of power took hold of him. Closer to Sophia, he leaned in with his eyes shining brightly with excitement."I have a better idea," he blurted out confidently.Sophia's soft gaze met his as she asked, "Alright, which investment are you interested in?"With a deep breath, Caspian looked at her and finally said what he had been thinking for weeks. "I want to invest deeply in real estate - residential, commercial, and luxury properties - creating a well-balanced portfolio."Sophia's response was hesitant. "Gulps!"Undeterred, Caspian continued, "According to my research, the industry is rapidly growing and within the next ten years, there will be a major shift in its dynamics."Sensing Sophia's skepticism, he added, "Let's just say we'll have thousands of hectares."Her reaction was one of disbelief. "Thousands of hectares?""Yes," Caspian replied fi
Heather's steel-blue eyes locked onto Henry, sending deadly gazes his way. A sly smirk formed on her lips as she taunted, "You're crossing your boundaries, Henry?"Her voice was a low, velvety purr that dripped with disdain. "You said you were looking for Caspian, but do I even look like him?" She scoffed and continued, "Please, get the fuck off."With a deep sigh, Heather's face displayed a mixture of anger and dissatisfaction as she turned away from Henry.Yet, he was unable to endure the embarrassment. How could a mere woman dare to scold him, a manager of Beacon Incorporation, a prestigious business empire under Kevin Sentinel?Ignoring Heather's dismissal, Henry signaled his bodyguards to block her path.As she observed the menacing glares in their eyes, she raised an eyebrow in surprise. Just their no-nonsense hairstyles were intimidating enough for her."Our boss is talking to you," one of them growled in a deep baritone voice. "You don't have the right to turn away from him."
