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
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
“Hello, Christian Demetri, I am your biological father, Carlos Demetri. Please forgive your father for reaching out only now...”“I left you and your mother in the past because I was naive and foolish at the time. Now, I don’t have much time left. I never married another woman in my life, and I have no other heir besides you. So, I’ve decided to pass on all my assets to you, and you will also be entrusted as the CEO and Chairman of BIG Consortium Corp knows as the Demetri Consortium.”“My assets, totaling 3,500 trillion, will all be inherited by you!”“I have already arranged for someone to assist you with all your needs. If you ever need help or encounter any problems, you can contact Darrell. His phone number is attached here. Christian, see you in Canada.”Christian’s eyes froze as he watched the figure of a man standing tall after the video ended. He suddenly found it difficult to breathe, and his mouth had to gasp for more oxygen.He was in the kitchen, planning to cook some food
Christian couldn’t contain his jumbled thoughts, pondering this and that.“Open the door? Don’t daydream too much! Get out of here now!” Yvette snapped.As if doused by a bucket of cold water, Christian’s heated fantasies instantly extinguished. He sighed and said, “Alright, I’m leaving now. I’ve left your clothes by the door.”After leaving the room, Christian continued to think about the strange email he had received.After a moment’s consideration, he finally contacted the person his father had assigned to help him.“Hello, this is Darrell speaking,” a man said from the other end of the phone.Christian fell silent for a moment, surprised that the number indeed belonged to Darrell.“So, you’re really Darrell?”“Yes.”Christian took a deep breath. Then he said, “I’m Christian Demetri. There’s something I need to ask. May I?”“Finally, you’ve contacted me,” Darrell said with a sigh of relief in his breath.“Go ahead, Mr. Demetri. What would you like to ask?” he continued.“I just rec
“But sir. My wife is inside. She could become a victim of harassment or worse. Please let me in to save my wife,” Christian pleaded.He had often heard stories about Declan from Yve, that the man had a high level of passion. Almost all the women he brought ended up in bed. Some willingly, and some by various means. And Christian was worried that the latter might be the case with Declan.Yvette must not be touched.“I haven’t seen any guests being forced. All the guests, especially the women, seem to have happy faces. Besides, this isn’t a hotel, so it’s unlikely that such incidents would happen here. If they do, we’ll handle it. Just relax!” said the big, dark-skinned security officer.Christian shook his head. Then, he pushed the security officer’s body and said, “I need to get in!”The security officer’s sturdy body, a retired soldier who had to retire early, remained unmoved by Christian’s push.“What part of what I said wasn’t clear? Go away! You’re just disturbing the order of th
A general manager, a respected figure throughout the city, bowed before a man named Christian. Who was this man, really?“You don’t need to apologize. It’s not your fault!” Christian said.Leopold stood up straight, saying, “Thank you very much, Mr. Demetri.”Then, Leopold turned to the security guard and Frankie. His gaze was so sharp that both men were afraid to meet his eyes.“What were you two doing to Mr. Demetri? How dare you lay a hand on Mr. Demetri!” Leopold exclaimed.Christian himself was confused by the behavior of the Bluemoon club’s general manager. He didn’t know that the nightclub belonged to him because he hadn’t read the list of companies under the BIG Consortium Corp.“Mr. Leopold, we were just following the rules. People without memberships are not allowed in,” Frankie explained, defending himself.Smack!Without warning, Leopold punched Frankie on the left cheek, in the same spot where he had been struck by Christian.“Do you know who he is? He’s—”Christian p
The tall man entered the room. He was Percival’s head of security, who had just returned from the restroom.“How was it? Easy to touch me? I think it’s much easier to touch your beautiful wife,” Percival said as he stroked Yve’s hand.“You bastard! I’ll break your legs and toss you onto the street to be eaten by stray dogs. You despicable human!” Christian shouted, rebelling.Hearing this, Percival grew furious. His face turned red.“You want to break my legs? I’ll break your legs first!”Percival was now only 25 centimeters away from Christian. He grabbed Christian’s hair.“You talk too much, but the result is zero. Just like your pathetic life. Living as a useless son-in-law who can only do housework like a servant, you’re not worthy to talk to me,” Percival said.Thwack!A slap landed on Christian’s left cheek.“Hahaha... trash! Try to hit me back. Slap my cheek!” Percival taunted with a smile on his face.Leopold couldn’t let this happen. He went against Christian’s orders, which
Octavian’s actions could potentially get him into trouble. Harming civilians could lead to disciplinary action for a soldier. Whether it’s a transfer, a delay in promotion, or even dismissal.“Feel free to report me if you want. I don’t care. I’ve memorized the faces of everyone here. It’s very easy for me to eliminate all of you and your family members!” Percival fell silent. He didn’t speak much anymore. His decision to report what Octavian had done would have to wait.Christian immediately approached Yve and checked her body temperature.“Is she okay?” Octavian asked.“She’s just drunk. She had too much to drink. I’ll take her home and take care of her. Thank you for helping me, General! Sorry for the trouble,” Christian said.“No need to be sorry. When I got the call from Darrell, I was nearby. So, it’s no trouble at all,” Octavian replied.Darrell again. This made Christian even more convinced that he had significant power now.Imagine, a brigadier general who controlled the eas
