"Ella, what's wrong? Why are you being quiet and not eating?" asked Kaiden, as he placed the tray of food on the nightstand. Then he approached Ella who sat hugging her knees.Ella turned to Kaiden, then went back to being quiet and daydreaming about who knows what."Ella-""I'm afraid... if the Beaufort family finds out I'm not on their side, how could I possibly stand between Lordde?" Ella murmured.Kaiden was silent for a moment, before extending his hand and grabbing the beautiful girl's chin to look up and stare at him.Again, Ella was lost in the enchantment of Kaiden's dark eyes. They were so dark and mysterious, Ella couldn't look away from them.Ella knew no one in the apartment approved of her being there, except Kaiden. However, Ella closed her ears, her eyes, she didn't want to know.If she wasn't with Kaiden, she would be in danger.For a long time, Ella felt she was being used by the Beaufort family. She wanted to escape but couldn't. She always did what they told her to
The Lordde are quite an influential family, they control various areas of business as well as the underworld. They are ambitious people who can do anything for their goals.Actually, it's not much different from the Zein family.The two families are two influential families that have been hostile to each other for a long time.When Chris suddenly fell in love with Lordde's daughter, then took away the pregnant girl, Lordde was already planning various ways to exterminate the Zein family. But they finally kept quiet after the girl died in childbirth, as long as the Zein family did not leak anything about the matter to the public. Zein's family also had to keep quiet about the baby being born.Lordde gave a lot of money so that the baby would not be linked to them.Lordde is very cruel and can break up families easily. They decided their daughter died in an accident instead of giving birth.Of course they wouldn't believe it if Kaiden suddenly came and said he was the family's son.Kaid
"Ella..." Kaiden tried to call out to Ella, who remained silent as she ate her lunch. Kaiden's cooking was definitely better than the food at the restaurant that still belonged to Lordde.It wasn't that Ella was sick of seeing Cedric joking around with his two girlfriends there. But it was because the taste of the food could not make Ella satisfied."I know you're upset about your future husband-""No, I'm upset with you." Ella replied quickly. She looked at Kaiden with a disappointed and hurt look."Me?" Asked Kaiden who was completely desensitized to Ella's feelings that were exploding inside. Ella was just pretending to be calm at that moment, acting elegantly to get her self-esteem back after being tarnished thanks to that bastard Cedric.Cedric's two girlfriends who joined him for lunch were two young women who were just starting their modeling careers. It was obvious why the two young ladies wanted to be Cedric's umpteenth girlfriends.However, neither of them seemed to respect
"So, how much do I have to pay?" Kaiden said casually as he pulled out his black card.Cedric laughed again, "Are you sure you can get 500,000$ from that fake card?""How can you be so sure it's fake?" Kaiden asked.Cedric pulled out his own card, which was similar to Kaiden's, except it was a level below Kaiden's black card."Because someone like me can only get this card, a regular black card, it's impossible for someone like you to have a premium black card that only certain people can have. So it's obviously a fake!" Cedric accused, leaving Kaiden confused.Kaiden himself had just found out that his black card was a premium one. He couldn't even tell the difference with the other black cards, he thought they were the same.It turned out to be different."Oh, so this isn't a normal card?" muttered Kaiden, which could be heard by others.Sofie was furious with Kaiden who looked stupid."Don't mess around, if you have money, immediately replace my precious display!" Sofie said.Cedri
Cedric smiled slightly, he thought Kaiden was someone who could forgive him easily. From his appearance alone he looked like a good person.Therefore, he immediately asked, "What conditions do you want? If I can do it, I will."Kaiden sat on Cedric's cushioned chair, he was already a little tired from standing all the time. Moreover, Cedric didn't feed him just because he was Ella's manager."If you can? No, you have to do it even if you can't." Kaiden said in a cold tone, he didn't smile, looking very serious at that moment. It made Cedric feel depressed."Well, what do you want, Mr. Grayson?""First, free Ella from the return marriage or whatever it is, but let her be an ambassador here as before. Treat her well while working here. Second, don't support the Beaufort family, you can only support Steve, I mean Stephane Beaufort. And thirdly, I heard that you're going to take part in the Flora beach tourism project, so you should go ahead and make it the number one tourist destination
Kaiden stood up from his seat, stretching his muscles that were stiff from sitting for so long, lost in the mass of paperwork.After a few days off work, a lot of work had piled up. Even though it had been handled by his employees, there were still many things that needed Kaiden's approval and had to be checked."Are you done? I brought you some documents-""Come on, do it later, I just finished all that, now I want to eat." complained Kaiden.Jake sighed tiredly, "alright, but you have to promise to get this one done quickly, we can't have this much work."Kaiden smiled, then he walked over to Jake who placed the new document on Kaiden's desk, separating it from the other completed documents."Let's have lunch first, I'll go get Ella to have lunch with us." Kaiden said, putting his arm around Jake's shoulder.Jake removed Kaiden's hand from his shoulder, "Why with her? We already sent Anita to help her, right? Let her have lunch with Anita." said Jake.Kaiden chuckled softly, "You do
"I want you to be my boyfriend, you're pretty cute and my type."Jake looked back at Stella after drinking half a small glass of mineral water.Kaiden looked at Jake and Stella in turn, his eyes widening, unable to believe what he had just heard.Finally after all this time Kaiden could hear that there was a girl who liked Jake again. Well, even though Jake never accepted them. Sometimes Kaiden was annoyed at him, why Jake never accepted them. Even though Jake used to be very sweet to treat any woman, he was the favorite of mothers wherever he was."Don't mess around, I don't want to get involved in your feud with Lordde, I don't want anything to do with them." Jake said firmly.Stella was still smiling, "That's too bad, I really like you. What if I come to your office often, who knows you'll get used to me, then want to be-"Jake shook his head firmly, "no thanks. You better ask Kaiden, he might be able to help you."Stella turned to Kaiden, "he's handsome and sweet, but not my type,
[It's a beautiful morning to start working on the mission, master!]That was the first thing Kaiden heard as soon as he woke up to Nicho's shout."I just woke up, you know." complained Kaiden, then he yawned briefly and stretched his arm muscles.[You didn't do the mission yesterday, so today you have to do the mission]Kaiden scratched his head, then asked, "Do i really have to do missions every day?"[No, it's just that the system thinks you're too relaxed these days]Kaiden frowned, "so I can't relax?"[Do charity work and donate to the needy]"Can't I just donate? You know, I'm busy and there's a meeting later-"[No way, master!][You can distribute food to needy people on the street][It doesn't have to be much, as long as your intentions are good when you do it]Kaiden gave up, "alright, I'll do charity work and donate."Kaiden got out of bed, took a quick shower, brushed his teeth, and then cleansed his face with facial foam to freshen up.He had cooked a good amount of chicken
