The morning sunlight dazzled Fiona's eyes. As her eyes opened, she saw Stephen's broad chest with the captivating scent of sandalwood. "Stephen..." she murmured, remembering how the aroma had filled her lungs last night, almost exploding with the burst of love.

Though she had awakened, she didn't immediately get up from the bed. She was still relishing the satisfaction of their lovemaking while staying wrapped in Stephen's embrace. In her heart, she didn't want to rise and part from Stephen.

With her face nestled against Stephen's chest, she tuned in to the rhythmic heartbeat of the man who had captivated her with his charm and prowess the previous night. In her heart, Fiona wondered, "Will this happiness remain the same until death separates us?" Frank Geoff's daughter let out a soft sigh. She didn't know why, but ever since her conversation with Stephen in the helicopter about his revenge plan, she felt restless.

The brunette woman clung tightly to Stephen's body, as if preventing

Afterward, Fiona, along with Oliver and Alyssa, went to Rosewind to follow her schedule.William approached Stephen, who was standing in the yard after Fiona had left. Politely, he said, "Young Master, there's something I'd like to discuss about your parents."Stephen turned to the white-haired man beside him without turning his body. "Go ahead, William!"The man in the black suit spoke, bowing his head, "I'd like to discuss this matter of significance at your parents' grave."The bright morning suddenly froze. Something he had been wanting to find for a long time. Of course, his parents' graves. There was a rush of sadness and longing in Stephen's heart. Unconsciously, the blonde man's hands clenched tightly.With a soft voice and a neutral expression, Stephen said to his personal assistant, "Take me there now!" The old man nodded obedie

    Stephen's eyes narrowed as he looked at William. Then he spoke with a curious tone, "Injection?" he grinned. William nodded decisively. "Yes, you'll receive an injection derived from the eggs of a three-headed eagle." Stephen pondered in his mind. "Alright, I'm willing." The white-haired man looked relieved as Stephen agreed to accept the injection from the three-headed eagle's eggs. With a brighter expression than before, William said, "Good. Now we need to meet Professor Adriel Ayala." Stephen furrowed his brow. The name sounded so unfamiliar to him. "Who is he?" Walking together with Stephen towards the Rolls-Royce parked in the laboratory yard, William answered, "He is the only scientist who worked for your father and managed to survive." Once inside the car, William immediately drove the luxurious vehicle eastward, towards the outskirts of Windvista city. As they rode, Stephen's mind couldn't escape the image of the ruined laboratory. As far back as he could remember, he nev

    Adriel pressed the buttons on the wall, entering a code to unlock the door. A moment later, the door opened, revealing a spacious laboratory with well-maintained and clean lab equipment. A man wearing a blue t-shirt entered, inviting Stephen and William to come into the laboratory. "Please come in, Young Master!" Once the three men had entered the laboratory, the door closed automatically. With a slight smile on his face, Adriel said, "You don't need to feel hesitant in this place, young master" Stephen appreciated Adriel's friendly attitude. Next, the thin-bodied professor spoke, "I will show you a serum that will change your lives forever." He smiled mysteriously. Adriel opened a drawer and took out a black remote control about the size of a hand. Without hesitation, he pressed the red button on the remote. A second later, the laboratory floor opened up, revealing a small staircase. With the secret passage now revealed, Adriel said, "The three-headed eagle egg serum is inside th

    Chapter 185Stephen and Adriel's attention was drawn to the white-haired man who looked frustrated as he answered a call from someone. Stephen couldn't help but wonder who William was talking to.William spoke while clenching his fist, "No matter what happens, make sure Mr. Fabian doesn't find out that Young Master is with me!" he said with a serious tone.The voice on the other end of the phone sounded shaky, "William, they keep pressuring us to say something about Young Master! They're even threatening to fire all of us!" Unbeknownst to William, the woman who had spoken to him was hiding in a corner of the room, crouching down to avoid being noticed by Fabian Hudson's men.William's patience was wearing thin, but he couldn't afford to be reckless. Stephen and Fiona's safety was his current priority.With a calm and firm tone, William stated, "Then hold him for now! I'm heading to the Mansion. As long as you keep quiet, I'll try to save all of you!"The woman on the other end of the

    The doorbell rang, startling Stephen and Adriel who were deep in conversation. They paused their talk. Stephen, curious, muttered, "What's happening? Why is William back?" Adriel didn't immediately respond to Stephen's question; he was also puzzled. The black-haired man rose from his seat and walked to the monitor screen on the table. He opened the CCTV recording and saw a pizza delivery courier wearing a cap, so his face wasn't visible. Stephen inquired curiously to Adriel, "Did you order pizza, Adriel?" The slim man in the blue t-shirt shook his head. "No." Afterward, he clasped his hands together, looking worried. On the monitor screen, the pizza delivery courier appeared impatient. He pressed the doorbell again, or rather, he was pestering the doorbell. This made him look like a mischievous child playing with the doorbell of a stranger's house. Stephen commented, "Goodness, he looks like a man with mental disturbances." The slim man in the blue t-shirt monitored the camera, f

    Stephen welcomed Morgan's offer warmly. Then, Morgan led Stephen and Adriel to their VIP restaurant named the King Room. What makes the King Room at the Nuuslaq Hotel special is how its interior design blends touches of ancient Egyptian style.The room had partially white walls, while the other walls were a light brown with hieroglyph decorations that were well illuminated. The room exuded a luxurious Egyptian vibe with its black pillars accented by gold rings, and the gold color connecting the arches of the pillars to the very high ceiling.On various sides of the walls, there were statues of Egyptian gods, pharaohs, and others. Additionally, the fireplace, carpet, lamps, and candles all had an ancient Egyptian style."Welcome, Mr. Stephen, to the King Room," a waitress dressed in the traditional attire of ancient Egyptian women greeted them warmly.The woman presented the food menu and invited Stephen and Adriel to place their orders.The blond-haired man glanced at the menu briefly

    With a furrowed brow, Stephen responded to William, "Wait! I feel there's something strange about those mysterious attackers." On the other end of the phone, William asked curiously, "What's strange, Young Master?" While observing a painting of an Egyptian woman in a lavish gown and crown on the wall, Stephen said, "I thought they weren't interested in the three-headed eagle egg. They didn't try to break down the door or search Adriel's house for the three-headed eagle egg." Stephen paused for a moment, remembering the sound of explosions pounding against Adriel's house walls. From the monitor screen displaying images of the surveillance men, they appeared to be hiding, and there was no footage showing them approaching Adriel's house or anything of the sort. "But from what I can see, they actually want to destroy the three-headed eagle egg." The white-haired man on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment, letting out a slow breath. Matters concerning the three-headed ea

    After settling into the passenger seat, Stephen, a man with contemplative eyes, found himself facing a taxi driver of dark complexion and dangling earrings. The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror and asked, "Where would you like to go, sir?"Stephen paused for a moment, his mind wandering, and suddenly he remembered his brother-in-law Bryson, who was imprisoned for killing his wife, Megan. At that instant, he felt the urge to check on him.The fair-haired man replied, "To Rosewind city prison."The taxi driver didn't utter a word, a mere nod acknowledged the destination. With that, the taxi pulled into motion, en route to its destination.During the journey, Stephen recollected images of Megan, captured together with Alex. The raven-haired woman exuded an alluring charm and appeared deeply smitten by Alex. No sane husband could remain unaffected upon witnessing his wife's involvement with another man behind his back.

After the park's inauguration, visitors increasingly enjoyed the free tourist spot. At that moment, Falla was in Fiona's arms, looking enthusiastic as they strolled through the beauty of the park. Fiona turned to her husband and said, "What if we go on the Ferris wheel?" Stephen looked up at the ferris wheel with the slowly rotating baskets. He thought for a moment, then said, "Alright. Let's go there." They walked together towards the Ferris wheel. However, suddenly Falla rebelled in Fiona's embrace and started crying. Fiona gently comforted her baby, "Falla, what's wrong? Are you scared of going on the Ferris wheel?" But Falla's cries didn't stop. Fiona tried to comfort Falla with a small doll she usually played with. But Falla continued to cry.

Stephen had decided that Aiden still needed to face his punishment.In a low, pressing voice, Stephen said, "If you admit guilt, do you still deserve to be among us?"Aiden looked at Stephen, not surprised by Stephen's decision, but remorseful for his own foolishness and ill treatment of Stephen and Fiona all this time.Moreover, this was not the same Stephen that Aiden had once suppressed. After this, Aiden wouldn't be able to escape Stephen, even if he hid at the ends of the earth. Stephen would surely pursue him and find him.

He had known about Keyla's feelings for a long time, and her expressions were not new to him.Gently, Stephen spoke, "Keyla."The supermodel's chest rose and fell as she struggled to contain the turmoil within, which seemed ready to burst.

But, you know I am already married, and soon I'll be a father?"The beautiful woman took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, I understand."

Their visit to the Hudson family mansion had to yield results – they wanted to regain the privileges Fabian had once granted them.Since none of them dared to speak in front of the patriarch after openly admitting their mistakes, Stephen said coldly, "Damn it, I've wasted my time with a bunch of foolish women."
