The sight of his wife climbing onto the same bed as his was a beautiful scene Christian had never witnessed before.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Yvette asked, leaning against the bed’s headrest and gazing at Christian, who had been staring at her face without looking away.“I feel like today is incredibly beautiful, not just because of my victory over Kairos. But also because of your presence and your attitude towards me. I’m falling more in love with you!” Christian spoke confidently and without shame.Yvette appeared delighted, but she restrained her expression to avoid showing it to Christian. However, it seemed she failed, as Christian could still see that Yvette was very pleased with what he had said.Christian averted his gaze forward; he didn’t want to embarrass his wife by teasing her. He let Yvette believe that he had successfully fooled her.The bedroom curtains were opened using an app on Christian’s smartphone, revealing a beautiful view outside the hotel buildin
The subordinates of the general manager immediately sprung into action upon seeing their boss being kicked and sent flying like that.In this place where they earned their living, they didn’t want any trouble, especially not someone causing harm to their boss.“Hey, you insolent punk! How dare you hit our boss. Are you tired of living?” growled a man with a mohawk and a large earring on his left ear.“We can defeat you with just one punch,” said another man, similar in build to Rhys.Hearing the words of these two, Rhys just smiled without responding to their remarks.“You better leave this place! Hurry up before I change my mind and end up hurting you!” shouted the mohawked man.From his demeanor and leadership, it was evident that the mohawked man was the head of the security forces.The general manager struggled to get up. While enduring the pain, he said, “What are you saying? I don’t want them to leave without any injuries. I want them to experience more than what I’m feeling. So
However, the phone was quickly taken by a large-bodied man.“Who are you trying to contact? There’s no one left to help you!” said the man with a strong jaw.“Who says there’s no one left to help me? I have the greatest person in US on my side, he is Kairos Ashford. If he finds out what you’ve done, he will kill you, chop you up, and turn you into soup!” exclaimed Adolf with a loud voice and a red face.The man with the strong jaw burst into laughter. “Hahaha... how could he kill and chop me when he himself is currently in critical condition in the hospital? Your boss has already been defeated by Mr. Demetri, wake up from your dreams, fool!”Thud!After saying that, a blow landed on Adolf’s stomach, causing the chief editor of Metropolitan News to gasp for breath.“Now, it’s better for you to be quiet and wait until you meet Dorian Ashford!”Adolf couldn’t speak anymore. He didn’t want to be hit again by those people. If he were hit three times with the same strength at the same spot,
Another woman’s presence, so worrisome to Christian that the woman seemed to be out of breath, possibly from running to get there, was a reason for Yvette to question who that woman was with an unpleasant tone.Rini was surprised to see a woman opening the door, and not just any woman, but a very beautiful and elegant one. Both traits successfully made her feel insecure.“Um... I am Lewis’s mother. So, my son works with Mr. Demetri, and this morning, I heard that Mr. Demetri was injured. I came here to visit him,” explained Rini.The feeling of jealousy lingered within Yvette. She searched for any reason to put Rini in an unfavorable position.“So, if my husband were injured, what’s your connection? Would it bother you and your child?” Yvette asked, crossing her arms beneath her chest.Hearing that the woman was Christian’s wife, Rini decided to abandon her intention.“I was just concerned about Mr. Demetri’s safety due to our close relationship. But if I’m bothering you, I can go bac
In Anika’s mind, she introduced Christian to Zofia, which would likely lead to a conversation between them, addressing questions from Christian that she couldn’t answer some time ago.Zofia, upon hearing the call from her biological mother, turned towards Anika and asked, “Yes, Mother, what’s up?”While asking, Zofia walked towards Anika.Christian became a bit panicked. He didn’t want to meet Zofia before returning Kowalska’s company. Moreover, he didn’t want to show that he was close to Mrs. Anika.Not yet!“Mother! Sorry, I suddenly got a video call from my boss in Canada. I’ll call you back later. Don’t tell Zofia I called, okay?” Christian said hurriedly. “Sorry, Mother, I’ll call you later.”Before Anika could respond, Christian ended the call.Anika showed a disappointed expression.Zofia sat next to Anika and asked, “What’s wrong, Mother?”Zofia’s voice was very gentle. With Anika, she could bring out her soft side, something that was her true self. Gentle and soft.This could
The intention had to be carried out by Naoki. He had pressed his heart to act ruthlessly towards Emma.All of this was due to the deep-seated grudge within him that was too immense, dominating his entire being. Yet, it all happened because of his own actions.He should have fought the demon within him to prevent it from causing further harm.Certainly, if he succeeded in harming or even killing Emma, he would face a fair and perhaps even harsh retaliation.After executing some dangerous maneuvers just to catch up with Emma’s car, his vehicle now trailed right behind hers without being obstructed by other cars.It turned out to be a blunder. Emma felt that the car was too conspicuous, prompting her to glance back several times.Upon the third glance, she recognized the car when it attempted to overtake.“Isn’t that Mr. Naoki’s car? But he’s supposed to be in jail now, right? How could he be out just to drive around? Maybe the car has been sold.” Emma tried to think positively.However,
This is no ordinary problem. It should not be taken lightly, as it has the potential to endanger someone’s life, be it Emma’s or even his own.Certainly, after receiving the news from Christian, Darrell was greatly surprised. Although he wasn’t the one who brought Naoki to jail, he was the one who sent a lawyer to handle the case.“The guy managed to escape from prison? Why isn’t there any sensational news about this? Don’t the police know that a convict has successfully escaped?” Darrell wondered.“How would I know? I asked for your help to find out why Naoki is freely roaming outside right now. If you’re asking me about it, why did I bother asking you!” Christian scolded. The man was in a less than favorable mood, and understandably, silly questions like that made him even more irritated.Quickly, Darrell apologized to Christian, realizing he had made a mistake.“I apologize, Mr. Demetri. I didn’t mean to be like that and make you upset. I will immediately find out how Naoki could b
How could Naoki be in prison?Darrell was puzzled. Did Mr. Demetri receive incorrect information?As Naoki approached, Darrell quickly took out his phone to record a video that would be shown to Mr. Demetri. If he didn’t have solid evidence that Naoki was still in prison, Mr. Demetri wouldn’t believe him and might consider him incompetent.It wasn’t until the first sentence came out of Naoki’s mouth that Darrell stopped the video recording.“What brings you here?” Naoki asked with an unfriendly expression, pulling out a chair and sitting down.Darrell leaned back in his chair, staring deeply into Naoki’s eyes.“I just came to see you, afraid you might be struggling in there. So, yeah... just checking,” Darrell said.Naoki smirked at Darrell’s words.He already knew the reason behind Darrell’s visit. It was undoubtedly due to the incident that morning, where he acted impulsively and ultimately failed.Naoki didn’t mind it because he knew it was the consequence of his failure to act. Wh
