“Since when? As far as I remember, you used to hate Christian so much!” Yve remarked cynically. She vividly recalled Orion’s disdain towards her husband.

“I admit, I used to hate him. But that was in the past! I don’t feel that way anymore!” Orion defended himself.

“I still can’t believe you’re defending him now. I remember clearly how you used to say Christian was just a pathetic man. A freeloader who only did household chores and took money from his wife. A man unworthy of being part of our family!” Yve repeated Orion’s words from when she married Christian.

“Enough, don’t bring up those times again!” Orion retorted angrily.

“How can I forget all those insults? Even now, I remember clearly how badly you treated him!” Yve said.

“Yes, I admit I was like that before. Back then, I was blinded by wealth. To me, wealth was everything. A freeloading man like him had no dignity in my eyes, not even worthy of being a husband! At that time, I couldn’t understand how you could choose him and b

    “Orion, Sévon and I don’t have a special relationship. We’re just friends, nothing more! Don’t you know the truth?” Yve defended herself. She was afraid that Christian would find out about her close friendship with Sévon. Even though their relationship was purely platonic, Yve couldn’t dismiss the possibility of Christian becoming jealous.Orion remained silent, choosing to continue walking away from Yve. Let her deal with the confusion she caused herself. He had warned her yesterday, but she didn’t listen.“Orion, please tell Christian the truth! I beg you! Orion!” Yve pleaded desperately. Orion still ignored her.Yve watched Orion leave with a sense of despair. She slumped into her chair, feeling utterly frustrated. She wondered what would happen when Christian finally unleashed his anger. Just the thought of it made Yve’s heart race.“What should I do? I was just playing around, nothing serious. Even if Sévon likes me, it’s not my fault!” she muttered to herself. She needed to find

    “Yes, I met him earlier!” Yve replied. Her eyes narrowed, trying to read John’s expression. She needed to find out exactly what had happened and what she didn’t know about behind her back.“What was Orion looking for you for?” John asked.“Why are you asking? Don’t meddle in my affairs!” Yve snapped.“Of course it concerns me. Don’t forget, I’m your future stepfather!” John said with a smug smile, watching Yve’s expression change.“Stepfather?” Yve scoffed. “No way. I’ll never accept you as my stepfather. So stop meddling because you’re nobody. You’re just someone Christian happened to hire here, nothing more!” With that, Yve walked away, leaving John behind.Once inside her room, Yve quickly freshened up. A day filled with work, compounded by issues with Christian, left Yve feeling exhausted. She wanted to soak for a while to refresh herself.After a satisfying bath and change of clothes, Yve lay down while scrolling through her phone. As she was engrossed in checking her friends’ so

    “I think it’s best not to respond because I’m sure this is clearly a scam!” Camila exclaimed. She wouldn’t let her daughter fall into the trap of an unknown person.“Are you sure, Mom? But what if what he said is true?” Yve hesitated.“Trust me, honey. He’s clearly asking for a large sum of money. I’m sure it’s a scam!”“But what if what he’s saying is actually true?” Yve felt afraid and suspicious, worried that Christian might be enjoying himself with another woman in Canada.“That’s impossible. Forget about unclear issues like this. Just let it go!” Camila insisted.“But, Mom....”“Yve, trust me. Christian would never betray you. Instead of worrying about unclear matters, you should rest!”“I’m scared, Mom....”“What else are you afraid of? Are you listening to what I’m saying? Forget about that issue. It’s pointless to dwell on it. All you’ll do is stress yourself out even more!” Camila snapped. Yve fell silent. She didn’t dare to argue when her mother spoke so firmly.“Yve, do you

    “Jaslene, are you busy?” asked Yve.“No, Miss. What’s up?” Jaslene replied, puzzled because it was unusual for Yve to contact her.“Can I ask you something?”“Of course, Miss. As long as I can answer it, I definitely will!” responded Jaslene.“Alright! I hope you will be honest and not hide anything!” Yve began to choose her words.“Certainly, Miss!” Jaslene felt a little puzzled by Christian’s wife’s request. Silently, she tried to digest the meaning behind her question. Despite her suspicion, Jaslene still tried to respond calmly to Yve’s questions.“I want to ask about Christian’s situation!” said Yve.“Mr. Demetri? He’s fine, Miss. Although he seems busy and often works overtime lately, I think he’s okay! There’s nothing to worry about, Miss!” Jaslene replied.“I know about that, Jaslene. I just spoke with him!”“Then, what do you want to know, Miss?” Jaslene asked, her face showing confusion. She looked at her phone, then brought it back to her ear.“Well. I want to ask about som

    “Good afternoon, Mr. Demetri!” Jaslene greeted timidly. She kept her head bowed.“Sit!” Christian responded firmly. Hearing Christian’s stern voice made Jaslene even more nervous. She was now certain that Christian was angry with her. Hesitantly, Jaslene sat down in the chair directly in front of Christian. Her face looked extremely tense, and her heart was pounding. Cold sweat began to trickle down her temples.For a while, the atmosphere was silent. Neither of them initiated a conversation. Christian observed Jaslene’s face, which was unlike her usual self; this time, the woman kept her head down.“Sorry, Mr. Demetri! Why did you call for me?” Jaslene asked hesitantly. Finally, she mustered the courage to speak. Despite her heart being filled with fear, she realized that, like it or not, she had to face this.“How is your relationship with Ambrose?” Christian asked.Jaslene let out a sigh of relief. It turned out her fears were unfounded. What her boss asked was very different from

    “I’m sorry, Blake! I think you’re right, it’s been too long. If you have important matters to attend to, you can go back to USA first!” said Christian. He didn’t want to keep someone who wasn’t comfortable here, as it would also unsettle them.“No, Sir! I will not leave you. I will remain loyal by your side until all matters are settled. I just wanted to inquire about this. I want certainty whether we will be here much longer or not, that’s all!” Blake responded, giving his explanation.Christian nodded in understanding. “For now, I still can’t determine when we will move. I haven’t seen favorable signs for making a move!” Christian said. As a leader, he had to decide as wisely and maturely as possible—no rushing decisions that could result in suboptimal outcomes.“Yes, Sir, I understand. Issues like this cannot be rushed. You don’t need to hurry just because I asked for certainty. I understand that in this matter, we cannot move hastily. We must consider everything carefully. A sligh

    “I actually understand what Blake is thinking. I myself feel like this is taking too long. Initially, the plan was that everything would be resolved in less than fourteen days. But in reality, it’s been over a month now, and there’s still no clear progress!” He said to Master Lee.“I understand your position too. We have to consider everything thoroughly before making a move. We’ve been delaying for this long, there must be something that’s still bothering you!” he added to him.“Master is right. Shouldn’t I be cautious? There are many lives at stake!” Christian replied. He was still uncertain about the next steps he would take. That’s why he continued to delay. It wasn’t because he didn’t miss his family in USA—quite the opposite. But everything had its process, and this time, the process couldn’t be rushed.“Don’t risk the lives of your men. Their lives are as valuable as ours. Back home, they too are awaited by their families! Try to minimize the number of casualties!” replied Mast

    “Did you hear what I just said?” Jaslene said with an intimidating look. Elvira started to feel scared, but she tried to remain calm. She didn’t want to appear defeated, especially in front of Jaslene.“So what if Miss Yve finds out? It might even be better, right?” Elvira replied.“What? Don’t tell me you intend to take Miss Yve’s place!” Jaslene was not happy; she wanted to grab Elvira by the hair but restrained herself.“That’s exactly my intention! Who wouldn’t want to be by Christian Demetri’s side?” Elvira retorted with a mocking smile.Jaslene stared at Elvira with frustration. “You’re really ambitious, aren’t you?”“I’m just fighting for what I want. Don’t we have to fight to achieve our desires?” Elvira replied.“By demeaning yourself and flirting with Mr. Demetri?” mocked Jaslene. She shook her head in disbelief at Elvira’s behavior.“Well, at least I’m honest about it! I don’t care about your judgment. I know you say these things out of jealousy!” Elvira boldly showed her t

    Altus was aware that Christian was currently dealing with a significant problem. So, he offered to help Christian calm down.“Do you know of a place that is green and peaceful?” asked Christian.“Of course. I’ll take you to a tranquil place,” replied Altus.“Alright, take me there,” said Christian.After saying that, Altus immediately drove his car towards a hill not far from where they were.During the journey, Christian remained silent. He didn’t say a word.Christian’s mind was still in turmoil. The issue he was facing seemed even heavier to him than Demetri’s family issues.After about an hour’s drive, they finally arrived at a charming house on a hill.The surroundings of the house were exceptionally beautiful. There were no other buildings in sight, only nature as far as the eye could see.“We’ve arrived, sir!” said Altus.Christian looked around and was quite amazed. This place was even more beautiful than the villa at the peak.“Whose house is this, Altus?” asked Christian, pu

    Christian fell silent upon hearing Elvira’s words from across the room. He was annoyed that Tavares was still threatening him through Elvira.“What an insolent man! How dare he threaten me through Elvira. When I meet him, I’ll finish him off,” Christian muttered angrily to himself.“I’ll kill him,” Christian growled.“Stop!” shouted one of Tavares’s guards, blocking Christian’s path.But Christian remained unmoved. After ending the call from Elvira, who had complained about Tavares’s threats, he decided to enter the house anyway.“I’ll report this assault to the police!” yelled the same man who had stopped Christian earlier.Upon hearing the threat from the man in black before him, Christian burst out laughing. “Hahaha.”“Don’t dream in broad daylight!”Christian immediately struck the man, knocking him unconscious.“Tavares! Come out!” Christian shouted in frustration.There was no response from inside the house. The people in front of Christian remained silent, intimidated after the

    “One more time, I ask you to stop or I’ll beat you!”The man’s shout made Christian and Altus pause for a moment, but both of them chose to ignore the man yelling at them.“Should we deal with all of them first, Sir?” Altus asked as they walked.“No need, just ignore them.”“But they’re following us, Sir. It looks like they have weapons too.” Altus sharpened his hearing and noticed some of the people seemed to be carrying sticks or something similar because he could hear those objects hitting the ground or something nearby.On both sides of Altus, there were piles of wood, like the remnants of a demolished building or something similar. Clearly, this place looked more like a warehouse than a residential house.“Hey, stop right there!” the man shouted again.Christian ignored him and urged Altus to keep walking. “Keep walking and don’t listen to them. Even if they attack, we will definitely win.”“Alright, Sir. So we should keep walking, right?” Altus repeated his question. He was hone

    “Let go, Valerio, release him. Come on, let’s go from here,” Darrell urged Valerio to release Daeron’s arm and walk away with him.“Let him be with his decision, we don’t need to force Daeron to come home,” Darrell repeated, insisting on leaving Daeron be.“Alright,” Valerio replied, following Darrell’s command. He released Daeron’s arm and walked alongside Darrell, who had already started walking away from the people there.Valerio didn’t know Darrell’s intention in letting Daeron go, but he obediently followed Darrell’s orders. Valerio was sure Darrell knew what he was doing.“Leaving Daeron like this, maybe Darrell has another plan,” Valerio thought to himself, seemingly understanding Darrell’s intentions even without being told.“No! This can’t happen, I don’t want to become poor and live in misery. No! No!” Daeron’s thoughts were in turmoil as Darrell and Valerio released him and simply left him there with his three friends.Darrell and Valerio walked away from Daeron, seemingly

    “Nothing yet, Mr. Demetri. So far, that’s all I found from the search. But I promise I’ll look for more information later,” Altus said, bowing slightly. He admitted he hadn’t found much more about Daeron.“Alright then, keep searching for more information about Daeron. I’ll wait for good news, don’t disappoint me.”“Got it, Sir. I’ll focus more on finding information about Daeron,” Altus promised to Christian.After that, they both fell silent for a long time. No one initiated a conversation. Christian was preoccupied with thoughts about Daeron, Tavares, Yve, and many more. Meanwhile, Altus was busy trying to guess what Christian was thinking. He didn’t feel comfortable starting another conversation, so the only option he chose was to wait for Christian to say something to him.Altus glanced at Christian, but after waiting for a while, he still didn’t say anything.“Is there anything else you’d like to say, Mr. Demetri?” Altus asked after a few moments of silence from his superior.“H

    Christian stopped talking after he remembered why he was looking for Tavares. He couldn’t tell Altus the real reason.Christian’s silence made Altus feel uneasy and a little suspicious. If it wasn’t something very important, Christian wouldn’t be looking for someone like this.“Why stop, sir? Can’t I know who that person is?” asked Altus in a soft voice, but his eyes were sharp.“Do you remember some people I met at a hotel where Elvira was?” Christian asked.Altus nodded. He remembered that incident.“Well, Tavares was one of them. In short, he dared to play games with me by trying to ruin my marriage,” Christian explained. “So, because he wants to play with me, I will give him a game he will remember for the rest of his life.”Altus fell silent for a moment. He had never seen Christian so angry before.“Well then, I will ask the troops to find Tavares’s whereabouts so we can quickly meet him. He really needs to be told that he’s messing with the wrong person,” growled Altus.Christi

    Claudia was terrified when she heard Christian’s shout. Her courage shrank after seeing her cousin angry. She knew very well who Christian was. No one would dare face him in such a state because it was certain that person would end up beaten black and blue. Claudia also clearly remembered Christian’s position. This would definitely make things difficult for her if she ended up offending her cousin.“I’m sorry, Christian! I didn’t mean it like that! I was just worried!” Claudia said softly. She bowed her head because she didn’t dare to look at her cousin’s angry face.Christian took several deep breaths. He tried to control his emotions, which had flared up moments ago.“Sorry, I didn’t mean to yell at you!” Christian said after he had calmed down.“Never say something like that again. What if someone heard and misunderstood?” Christian continued.“Sorry!” Claudia squeaked. She felt guilty for accusing her cousin of such things. She should have handled it more maturely.“It’s late, go

    “You love Me?” Valerio asked to confirm Elvira’s feelings for him.“Do you still need an answer?” Elvira asked back.“Of course, I want to make sure that your heart and body are only for me.” Valerio saw the glint in Elvira’s eyes which were becoming increasingly passionate. What’s more, his hands were twisting the edge of her chest.Elvira nodded her head. “Really. I really love you.” She doesn’t deny that she really loves Valerio. Even though Mr. Demetri still makes her fly, her heart is still with Valerio.“So, are we going to spend the night until you can’t walk?” Valerio said while squeezing Elvira’s mound.It felt like he hadn’t spent time with Elvira in a long time. And maybe now is the right time, after they were involved in the misunderstanding earlier.Seeing Elvira’s body again made him crazy. Must make the woman unable to wake up tomorrow morning.

    Christian stuttered. He was confused about what to say. But his mind quickly raced; he had to make sure Valerio didn’t suspect anything.But his mind went blank; he couldn’t think of a reason to prevent Valerio from misunderstanding.“Thank you again for your help, Mr. Demetri!” Elvira exclaimed. Christian glanced briefly, then shifted slightly to give Elvira space. Thank you for what?“Sweetheart, why are you here? For long?” Elvira asked, feigning surprise towards Valerio.Luckily, she had an idea and took control. She knew Christian must be struggling to find a plausible excuse.“It’s actually me who’s asking. What were you two doing? Why was Mr. Demetri in your room?” Valerio asked suspiciously. His eyes narrowed, seeing his girlfriend with Mr. Demetri in the room last night.“Oh... there was a small mouse inside. I was terribly afraid. As I ran out to ask for help to chase it away, Mr. Demetri happened to pass by. So, I asked for his help!” Elvira replied.It was a plausible excu
