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.
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
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
The streets of Rosewind were always bustling with life, especially during the dinner hour. As a waiter in one of the most popular restaurants in the area, Stephen was always in the thick of the action. He moved gracefully between tables, serving customers with a smile and ensuring that each dish was presented perfectly. "Stupid waiter! Are you blind?" said a brown-haired man.Stephen put on a glass at the customer's table, a man in a black suit abruptly pushed a glass on the table, causing the glass to crash onto the floor and shatter. That customer was Bryson Geoff, Stephen's brother-in-law who frequently bullied Stephen in various situations, including public places. Bryson smiled sinisterly, as if to hint that this incident was just the start of a more interesting show. It was clear that he had come to the restaurant with the sole purpose of making Stephen's life miserable, and he relished the opportunity to humiliate him in public. The blonde-haired man said, "Sorry, I'll replac
Stephen's eyes widened in disbelief as he blinked repeatedly to confirm what he was seeing. It was William Morse, someone he had known in the past and regarded as a father figure.Stephen asked, hoping he wasn't mistaken,"William! Is it really you?" William replied, standing beside a man in black glasses. "Yes, Young Master. It's me."Relieved, Stephen let out a deep sigh and collapsed on the ground. His body ached from the intense fight. He looked up at the dark sky, hoping for a moment of respite.The two men who referred to Stephen as "Young Master" sat down beside him and offered their assistance.William looked concerned at Stephen, he said,"You seem to be badly hurt, Young Master. Let's get you in the car, and let me treat your injuries."Stephen reluctantly agreed to enter the Rolls-Royce, realizing he had no alternative. Despite enduring excruciating pain, he chose to remain silent. This infuriated William, who was tending to Stephen's injuries.With his eyebrows barely knit t
As Stephen approached the gallery door, it opened automatically, welcoming him inside. A brunette salesgirl greeted him with a smile."Welcome to Rosegold—" she began, but her words trailed off as she took in Stephen's disheveled appearance. In all her time working there, she had never seen a customer looked so dirty.she muttered under her breath, "Oh my..." But, Stephen was unfazed. He spoke kindly to her, as if his appearance was of no consequence."I'd like to purchase the finest shirt you have."The salesgirl asked, cupping her hand to her ear as if she hadn't heard correctly. "What was that?" "I said I want to buy the best shirt you have," Stephen repeated, enunciating each word.The salesgirl laughed, taking in Stephen's scruffy appearance. "Oh my God! Do you think I'm deaf?" Stephen seemed completely out of place in such an upscale store. a senior salesgirl chided the brunette. "Hey, why are you laughing so hard?"The brunette giggled again, but the blonde senior salesgirl me
The gallery guard's face turned pale; he certainly didn't want to be topless on such a cold night, let alone until morning.Stephen snapped, "Why are you silent?"Stephen grinned at the gallery girls, who had all taken his side and were now giving the guard disapproving looks. "I see, you really are a loser!"With a disdainful glance, the blonde-haired senior salesgirl said, "Yes, you're a loser!" and the others chimed in.A brown-haired salesgir sneered, "Should we take off your shirt so you'll keep your promise?" and the others laughed.The gallery guard's face flushed with embarrassment. Reluctantly, he took off his shirt in the bone-chilling cold.The security guard said sarcastically, "You're satisfied to see me, girls?" Then he left the gallery room cursing.After the security guard left, the gallery room fell silent once more. The salesgirls' attention was on Stephen.The handsome blonde haired man said as the gallery salesgirl stripped the shirt from the mannequin, "Put all the
Stephen stepped out of the Rosegold Fashion Gallery building and spotted a shirtless guard outside. The guard had his arms folded across his chest, trying to keep warm. Stephen noticed a look of pity on his face. Stephen asked the guard, "Hey, man. Are you sure about this bet?" The guard replied arrogantly, "Of course, I'm not a baby who needs his mother's arms to sleep." Stephen confirmed the guard's statement by saying, "Okay, I believe you." If only the guard was willing to apologize, maybe Stephen would consider canceling the bet. "Good luck!" Stephen gave the guard the middle finger and left the Rosegold Fashion Gallery area to catch a taxi back to Geoff's house. While waiting for a taxi to pass, Stephen remembered his viral video. He was going to be featured in the Rosegold Fashion Gallery catalog soon. He couldn't let the video continue to circulate. Stephen took out his cellphone and contacted William to remove his videos from social media. It wasn't long before the cal
