After breakfast, Antonia returned to her room. A few minutes later, a doctor came to visit and check on her, accompanied by Lucas, who was curious about her condition.

"How is she?" Lucas inquired, watching from a distance as the doctor examined the gunshot wound.

"No worries, she's perfectly fine. Her wound has healed well," the doctor reassured them.

Antonia felt a sense of relief upon hearing the news. She had been worried that the gunshot wound might cause complications, but it seemed that her fears were unfounded.

"Is Mr. Augustine here?" Antonia asked, wondering where he was. She was surprised that he wasn't present when she woke up.

"Ah, he's busy with some matters," Lucas replied. He debated whether to tell Antonia what Victor was doing, but ultimately decided not to share the details. At this point, they were acquaintances, not close friends like they used to be. They didn't owe each other any explanations. However, in the back of his mind, Lucas wondered if Antonia had r

    "Mr. Augustine, did I say something wrong earlier?" Antonia chased after Victor as soon as they were done with dinner. She hadn't finished her meal when he abruptly left the room without saying a word, leaving her and Lucas alone. "Nothing, I just have some business to handle. Please, go back and enjoy your meal," Victor forced a smile, not wanting Antonia to worry about him. He knew that telling her the truth would only burden her further, and revealing his identity could hurt her deeply. He had lied, hurt others, and was prepared to keep his secret until his death. "Very well," Antonia agreed and returned to the dining area. There she found Lucas, who seemed unfazed by what had happened and continued with his meal. "Lucas, can I ask you something?" "Me?" Lucas was surprised that Antonia wanted to talk to him. "Sure, ask away." "Mr. Augustine, I mean, Aug, did he have a lover before?" Antonia became curious about Victor's romantic life. Since their conversation earlier had touched

    Antonia continued to reside in the man's residence for the next few days. Although she had the freedom to leave at any time, she chose to stay longer. The man was pleased with her decision to stay, as it allowed him to ensure her safety. Since he had no leads on the people after her, keeping her close was the best way to protect her. Antonia tried to learn more about the man during her stay, but even the household staff seemed tight-lipped about their master. Edward, the man's personal assistant, was particularly reserved and rarely spoke when she tried to engage him in conversation. No matter how much she prodded or questioned him about the man, Edward would only respond with a smile and say, "He is the best master." Eventually, Antonia gave up trying to gather information and decided to simply enjoy her days under the man's care. She slept well and felt as if a great burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Her phone rang frequently, with Brady asking about her whereabouts, but sh

    Chen's residence. Megan was busy with her lessons as she had just finished filming for the past few days. She was full of energy as she had been out with Charles and the man they had been spending time with for the last few evenings. What made her even happier was that Charles had informed her that she would soon be a part of their family. "Finally, I'll be an heiress. I am the only daughter of the Chen family. Those girls who used to look down on me, ha-ha, finally, it's my turn to look down on them." As she headed down the stairs to get some food from the kitchen, she heard a loud noise coming from the main door. "I wonder what's going on," Megan said as she went to take a peek at what was happening. When she arrived at the scene, she saw her father, who was being held back by the servants, entering the house. "What do you mean I can't see my own daughter? Where is she? Tell her to come out this instant!" Megan's blood boiled as she felt disgusted to see her father. How she wi

    During the time Victor visited the Chen residence and left, Lucas was inside the car, laughing his heart out. He could see how shocked Madam Chen looked and how silly Shen Chen's face was when the bodyguards stopped him from hurting her. She was pounding on the seat as the driver and Edward, who were in the front, looked as if they were wondering what was so funny. "Edward, did you see that?" Lucas giggled non-stop as he grabbed Edward's shoulder, pointing at the scene happening outside. "Just look at Shen Chen's face. As if the world is collapsing in front of him. I wonder what's going on inside his mind." "You shouldn't laugh too much, what if they can hear you?" Edward sighed as he brushed Lucas' hand away. "Hear us? This is a custom-made SUV. It's bulletproof, soundproof, and it's a seven-seater SUV, and it's spacious as well. Do you know how many people own such an SUV?" "No, please enlighten me." Actually, Edward knows, for he was the one who ordered the SUV to be customized.

    In one of the poorest areas near the outskirts of the city, Charles Chen arrived in front of a building. The people outside looked at him curiously, wondering what a person like him was doing in an area like this. The area was home to the poorest people in the city. Most of them didn't have any work and lived their lives by stealing or doing dirty work for others. It was the way of living there. Only the strongest got to live decently, and the weak lived like animals, begging and fending for their lives. "Where is he?" Charles asked his men, curious about the whereabouts of the person he was looking for. "They said he lives on top of that building." His men pointed at one of the decent buildings in the area. It was one of the few buildings that was not run down and was still standing firmly. Most of the buildings in the area were on the point of collapsing. "Hmm, let's go then." Charles followed his men, along with a few bodyguards, as the area was not a safe place for someone like

    "Please, what drugs? You men are men, they love women. Women who know how to give them pleasure." Yun Chen replied, pointing out that Charles' men were lusting for women and he had nothing to do with them. "Forget them, what do you want?" Charles continues to express his anger towards the man and with the situation. Because his men let their guards down, it was likely they were digging their own graves already. "Ah, there you are dear." Yun Chen, said as he kissed the girl, who was seated on the bar table. Charles looked at the girl confusedly. The fact that she was the one who told him of the man's whereabouts. "This is my daughter. She is my adopted daughter. Isn't she beautiful?" Yun Chen proudly spoke about the girl's beauty and charm that any man would fall in love with her. "You see, I cherish her so dearly. She has been my pride and joy. I won't just anyone have her you know." "What do you want?" Charles could already sense what his uncle's intentions were. Despite that, he

    At the same time, Victor received news of what Charles had been up to. However, he was unsure of what was happening as the area was out of their reach. The area was owned by a gang leader with whom he had no connection whatsoever. "VICTOR!" Lucas came running, waving the files he had just received and reviewed with such a horrid expression. Without even the need for Lucas to explain, Victor quickly got up from his seat, looking frightening as he ordered Edward. "Get the plane ready; we're going home." "Yes?" Edward was shocked by the man's order. He didn't expect they'd be heading home. After all their efforts, will everything go down the drain? "What are you still doing? Go get the plane ready!" Lucas grabbed Edward out of the room as he knew the man would need some time to himself. They just received horrible news, and now everything Victor had worked hard for would be gone. As soon as Victor was left all alone in the room, he tossed everything around, smashing fragile items int

    Victor's eyes blinked open as he roused from his restless slumber. Weariness clung to his body, a heavy blanket of fatigue that seemed to have become a constant companion. He sighed deeply, wondering how he would ever find his way through the labyrinthine challenges that surrounded him. The weight of his decisions bore down on him, leaving him feeling as if he were drowning in a sea of complications. Rolling out of bed, Victor stretched his stiff limbs before heading downstairs, his stomach rumbling with hunger. As he descended, the aroma of food reached him, drawing his attention to the kitchen where Antonia was busy preparing a meal. "What poison is this?" The words slipped from his lips before he could temper them, a mixture of weariness and sarcasm lacing his tone. He felt a pang of guilt at his words, recognizing that they weren't exactly the warmest greeting. Antonia looked up from her task, a hint of irritation flashing in her eyes at his less-than-friendly comment. She had h

    Antonia's fingers brushed against the man's scars with a mixture of curiosity and tenderness. Each scar told a story of its own, a narrative of battles waged and wounds endured. As her touch traversed the roadmap of his struggles, she couldn't help but feel a sense of connection, an unexpected bridge between their worlds. The scars, once concealed beneath layers of cloth, were now laid bare for her to witness. They spoke of a life far more intricate than the polished exterior he presented to the world. The reality of his existence was etched into his skin, a testament to his resilience and determination. Her initial intention to change his clothes had transformed into an intimate exploration of his history. The barriers that typically divided them – the mystique, the distance – had crumbled in the wake of her newfound understanding. He was more than just a man of allure; he was a man of depth, shaped by circumstances she could only begin to fathom. A mixture

    When Lucas arrived at the scene, a somber atmosphere enveloped the area. The lifeless bodies of the guards lay sprawled on the ground, a grim testament to the fierce confrontation that had unfolded. It had been a while since Lucas had been exposed to such violence; Fred, who was usually by Victor's side in such situations, was notably absent."Aug, are you…" Lucas trailed off, his voice hesitant as he struggled to find the right words. The sight before him was unsettling, a stark departure from their usual endeavors.Victor's gaze remained fixed on the sky, his expression a mix of weariness and determination. Splatters of blood marked his face and clothes, a vivid reminder of the intense struggle that had transpired."James got away," Victor's voice was heavy with resignation as he let the firearm he had wielded fall to the ground. The weight of the situation hung in the air, a palpable sense of frustration underscoring his words.Lucas surveyed th

    As the sun's warm rays illuminated the scene, Victor's frustration was palpable. The lack of response from Watcher had stirred his unease, but he realized that this battle was ultimately his to fight. He couldn't let his irritation hinder the task at hand, which was to locate Megan and ensure her safety. While he knew she was alive, confirming her well-being was his top priority.Lucas approached Victor, breaking the tense silence that had settled over the group. "Aug, we should head back now. There's not much more we can do here at the moment," he suggested, his voice tinged with concern.Victor tore his gaze away from the burnt remnants of the mansion and turned to Lucas. The gravity of the situation hung heavily on his shoulders, but he nodded in agreement. "You're right. Let's regroup and gather our thoughts."As they made their way back to the vehicles, the mansion's surroundings remained abuzz with activity. People were milling around, discussing the aftermath of the fire and th

    "What do you mean Megan escaped?" Antonia's voice trembled with shock as the news hit her over the phone. Since the enigmatic man had visited her under the shroud of night, he had kept sporadic contact, communicating with her from time to time. "Your devoted boyfriend is on a frantic search for her. However, I've received word that James isn't putting any effort into finding Megan and has vanished," the voice on the other end relayed coolly. "Vanished? Could it be..." Antonia's thoughts raced, connecting the dots that led to a disturbing conclusion. "Indeed, his brother has been released at last." "Impossible! Where did he procure the funds?" Antonia's disbelief was palpable. "Think deeply, Antonia. Who possesses such resources?" The caller's words struck Antonia like a revelation. "Impossible," she muttered, struggling to absorb the implications. To fathom that Victor had fallen into James' clutches was a bitter pill to swallow. "He settled the entire debt – a colossal sum."

    Simultaneously, Victor and his team arrived at the location where James was supposedly keeping Megan captive. Their anticipation was met with a shocking sight—the entire mansion was engulfed in flames, the servants running frantically to combat the blaze. "What just happened?" Edward's voice was a mixture of astonishment and concern, mirroring the disbelief in their eyes. Lucas, quick on his feet, approached one of the servants and grabbed him with a mixture of worry and urgency. His expression was stern as he demanded answers. "Where is James?" The servant's panicked gaze shifted between the group before him. "We don't know." Frustration etched into his features, Lucas persisted, his grip tightening on the servant's collar. "What happened here?" The servant pointed a shaky finger towards the fire. "That girl, it's all her fault." Victor's patience waned, and he intervened, yanking the servant away from Lucas and gripping his collar firmly. "Explain what you mean by 'that girl.'"

    Megan's resolve was unshakable. She held James's gaze with unwavering determination, determined to play her part in this twisted game with a strategy of her own. "You're right, James," she said, her voice steady and calm, "we both have something that matters to the other. But remember, you underestimate the power of a person's will to protect their loved ones." James's smile faltered for a brief moment before he regained his composure. "Ah, Megan, you're quite the enigma. But let's not forget that I still hold the upper hand here." Megan's mind raced, searching for any advantage she could gain in this perilous situation. "You may have the upper hand for now, but you can't keep your guard up forever," she replied, a spark of defiance in her eyes. James chuckled softly, seemingly entertained by her audacity. "Oh, I know that very well. But it's all part of the game, isn't it? A game of strategy, manipulation, and survival." Megan's thoughts turned to Victor and his unwavering determ

    James paced around the mansion, his face a picture of exultation. At long last, he had received what he had relentlessly pursued. With a jubilant stride, he made his way to the receiving room where the enigmatic masked man had taken residence. "My dear friend, the money should have been wired to your account by now," James declared, a triumphant grin lighting up his features. The mysterious man, his identity shrouded behind the mask, met James's gaze with an inscrutable expression. He nodded imperceptibly to one of his subordinates, who promptly made a call, the hushed conversation hinting at a transaction of profound consequence. As anticipation rippled through James, he couldn't help but wonder about the outcome. He had hoped for a victorious resolution, but uncertainty lingered in the air. The masked man's actions and intentions remained a puzzle that James yearned to solve. "Your brother should be here within 24 hours," the masked man's voice, devoid of emotion, finally broke t

    In the dimly lit warehouse, Victor and James stood facing each other, the air thick with tension. The sound of rain echoed outside, adding to the atmosphere of the intense showdown. Their eyes locked in a battle of wills and determination. Victor's gaze was unwavering, his resolve strengthened by the thought of saving Megan from this ordeal. James, on the other hand, wore a malicious grin, trying to unnerve his adversary. "So, Aug, you finally made it," James sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "I must say, I expected more from you." Victor's jaw tightened, but he refused to let James's words get to him. He knew the man was trying to play mind games, to break his composure. But he wouldn't fall for it. "I'm here to put an end to this," Victor replied, his voice steady and firm. "Release Megan, and I promise I won't hurt you." James laughed mockingly, taking a step closer to the man. "Oh, I'm not worried about you hurting me, Chairman. I'm more concerned about what I'll do
