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. However, Stephen hadn't foreseen that Bryson's jealou

The man in the orange prison uniform said, "Now, I want to ask you." Still with a disdainful look, he continued his words, "Have you given this world to Fiona as our father promised her?" Stephen fell silent and didn't immediately answer his brother-in-law's question. In reality, even though he had taken over the management of his late father's estate, Stephen still hadn't been recognized as the legitimate heir of the Hudson family. It was entirely possible that his uncle could maneuver in a way that would strip away everything Stephen currently held. Furthermore, Stephen's uncle had sniffed out something amiss within the Magnificent Emerald Group after his arrival, prompting Fabian Hudson to aggressively move to take control of the company from William. Since Stephen didn't respond immediately, Bryson chuckled. "Oh, so our dear father's nonsense was true?" He laughed again, a mocking tone in his voice. "Stephen, the ruler of the world! Wow, that sounds impressive!" Stephen promptl

Not long waiting, a taxi stopped in front of Stephen. A man in a black leather jacket entered and instructed the taxi driver to take him to the Nuuslaq Hotel. Twenty minutes later, Stephen was standing in front of a towering skyscraper building, the second-best hotel in Rosewind. Before entering the hotel, Stephen glanced at his wristwatch, which showed six o'clock in the evening. He suspected that Fiona had already returned from campus. The blonde man then entered the hotel and took the VIP elevator to his penthouse at the top of the building. Upon reaching the penthouse, a brunette woman in a knee-length pink dress greeted him with a cheerful smile and a warm hug. The woman whispered playfully as her cheek rested on Stephen's chest, "I missed you so much." Stephen inhaled the fragrant scent of Fiona's hair for a moment, blending the comfort of a warm embrace with the pleasant aroma. Then they gazed at each other. It couldn't be denied that when he looked into Fiona's clear gray ey

After Fiona gave her answer, the atmosphere turned icy. Both Stephen and Fiona drifted back into their own thoughts.In his heart, Stephen confirmed Bryson's accusation and thought, "So it's true, she felt forced to marry me."However, before Stephen could speak, Fiona continued her sentence with a convincing tone, "But, you don't need to worry! The compulsion was only in the beginning! After I saw the sincerity of your love for me, I'm truly willing to be your wife!" She smiled sincerely and looked as beautiful as ever.The blonde man grinned, looking at Fiona, "After nine months of marriage, right?" He chuckled briefly, recalling the nine months filled with humiliation, something he had never even experienced during his time in the orphanage or in Bentguay despite his life as an orphaned beach cleaner.Fiona looked straight at the man with eyes as blue as the sea in front of her, her eyebrows arched upwards, "Yes, that's right." She sighed softly, a hint of worry on her face, but th

During the search on the same website, another equally sensational news headline caught Stephen's attention — the arrest of Alex Case for trapping a novice model at the Magnificent Emerald Hotel. Inevitably, both corners of Stephen's lips turned upwards as he imagined Frank Geoff's three sons kneeling before him.In his mind, Stephen thought, "I can't wait to see the expressions on Bryson and his brothers' faces when they realize their defeat!"On the website, there was a photo of Alex looking frustrated, with disheveled hair and clothes that weren't perfectly buttoned. Stephen commented in his mind again, "Very pathetic! But it's the fate you had to accept for daring to mess with me!"Not long after, a sumptuous dish was presented before him. However, before he could partake in the food, Fiona's tear-swollen face with a smile appeared in his mind. He became annoyed with himself, clenching his hands tightly. Nevertheless, he remained concerned for Fiona, given her pregnancy.With a ha

Inside the helicopter, Stephen peered at the bustling beach. From his vantage point, he could clearly see a restaurant next to the jet ski hangout spot. A curly-haired man with brown hair caught Stephen's attention; he was Manuel Burt. Stephen was eager to land. "Stephen, are we landing soon?" Fiona, seated next to Stephen, was also excited to explore Bentguay Beach. On this adventure, Stephen wasn't just with Fiona and Falla. He had also invited Alyssa, Oliver, and Falla's caregivers. He particularly wanted to take Fiona to see a place that had long been his home. The helicopter landed on an open field next to Manuel's restaurant. The people around Manuel's restaurant weren't surprised to see various luxurious helicopters frequently landing in the restaurant's yard. However, they were taken aback when the man they used to know as a beach cleaner stepped out of the luxurious helicopter with a beautiful woman they suspected was his wife. There was also a man and a woman who looked

For a year, Stephen's bodyguards had not received any difficult orders. Stephen's family life seemed to be going smoothly without any problems.On the 49th floor of the Magnificent Emerald penthouse, William gathered his trusted agents for a routine meeting. Although there were no serious matters, the regular meeting had to be conducted because threats could come at any time. That night was no exception.With full attention, Raymond, Vincent, Kaysen, and William paid attention to the presentation delivered by Oliver, the man who most often accompanied Stephen on various occasions.As the most senior man, William observed the behavior of every agent under him, including Alyssa. Several times, William noticed Alyssa paying attention to Raymond and not focusing on what Oliver was saying.Initially, William thought it was because Alyssa hadn't seen Raymond for a long time, but if it happened more than once, it meant something else was going on. Moreover, there was an unwritten rule that a

Twelve months had passed since Falla's birth. Stephen invited Fiona and Falla to the recently completed Magnificent Emerald Park. 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. Fiona thought maybe her baby was hungry, so she offered some boiled fruits and vegetables they had brought.

However, admitting guilt meant nothing to Stephen. Regardless, Tristan's crime had caused a lot of damage, and opposing him had consumed much of Stephen's time and energy. 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. With a regretful expression, Aiden nodded in surrender and said, "No, I don't deserve to be here."With his cold gaze, Stephen continued to observe Aiden. He was curious about what else the man would say.Realizing his unwelcome presence in the luxurious room, Aiden rose from his seat. Since

Stephen observed his two brothers-in-law, who looked very pathetic while hitting their own faces. He laughed inside watching them. Since Fiona remained silent, Stephen assumed Fiona deliberately allowed her two older brothers to punish themselves in front of the Southroses University students.Fiona's fists clenched tighter, and her facial expression suddenly changed when she said, "Stephen..." weakly.The handsome man approached Fiona, "What's wrong?" He wanted to know Fiona's plan regarding her brothers. But then, she gripped Stephen's arm tightly, her face pale.Oliver quickly took over the bouquet of flowers, chocolate bouquet, and frame from Fiona's hands. Unexpectedly, after that, Fiona's amniotic fluid broke, leaving Aiden and Billy silent, exchanging glances."Fiona!" Aiden stopped slapping his own face and approached Fiona.With a worried expression, he said to Stephen, "She's about to give birth! Take her to the hospital now!"Stephen looked down and found Fiona's calfs wet

After fully recovering from her surgery, Fiona resumed her life as a senior college student and focused more on her thesis so she could pass her final exam successfully. Nevertheless, she continued to take care of her health to ensure her pregnancy progressed smoothly.At that time, in the grand auditorium of Southroses University, Stephen proudly gazed at the woman wearing a black gown and a graduation cap in front of the fellow students and their parents, being recognized as the best student in her class. Despite her prominently protruding belly, she still wore a cheerful face, expressing happiness for graduating summa cum laude.After the graduation ceremony, Stephen approached Fiona and handed her a bouquet of flowers, then kissed her on the cheek. Gently, he caressed Fiona's belly and said, "Congratulations on your graduation. I believe our baby will be a genius in the future." The brunette woman blushed while looking at the beautiful flowers in her hands.With a smile on her fac

When the two individuals exchanged glances, it was as if the Earth had stopped rotating and time had ceased to move. Stephen gazed intently at the beautifully sad face. 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. She was very afraid of what Stephen would say, but in reality, she continued to stand there, almost frozen in place.Looking directly at the supermodel, Stephen said, "I know how you feel, Keyla. 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." The supermodel turned back towards the door and left the luxurious room, tears streaming down her face. Although she already knew what Stephen would say, she still felt sad, and the tears couldn't be held back from flowing down her cheeks.Outside the room,

Once the funeral procession was over, the media surrounded Stephen, the new patriarch of the Hudson family.Elsewhere, Keyla was enjoying her time at the Magnificent Emerald penthouse while watching the news dominated by the death of the Hudson family patriarch.The beautiful supermodel sipped avocado juice in her hand while gazing at the flat screen in front of her. In her heart, she wondered, "Could I see Mr. Hudson's real face at the patriarch's funeral?" At that very moment, Keyla's heart raced.The memories of her dream of dancing with Mr. Hudson at the tower's peak replayed, making her eager to meet the man named Hudson.Keyla's hope was immediately granted by fate; she saw Stephen's face, and beneath it was written "The new patriarch of the Hudson family."

Stephen, anoyed with the disrespectful behavior of Fabian Hudson's ex-girlfriends, spoke in a cold tone, "Quickly, tell me what you want in meeting the patriarch?"The women nudged each other in confusion at the unexpected presence of the patriarch. Their eyes exchanged clear expressions of anxiety, but their determination remained firm. 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." He turned to the security guards and signaled them to escort Fabian Hudson's ex-girlfriends out.Several men dressed in all black with pistols and handcuffs approached the group of women who were starting to panic. Pressed, a bespectacled woman said, "Please stop this, Lord Stephen!"Seeing this initiative, the group of women quickly sought hel
