He couldn’t believe his own eyes but in time, he accepted it.However, would she be able to accept it? Would she be able to accept Daxon's real identity?

“Keep your filthy hands to yourself!” Daxon’s voice is like a thunderous strike. Shocked by the audacity in his voice, Veronica gazes at him in complete awe. She keeps her hands to herself and watches in haze as he protects her sister in a protective manner where she wished it was her.“How bold of you to approach a man that you cheated on, belittled, hated and scorned! Is it the reek of my newly acquired wealth that drew you to this place? I assure you, there is no place for you in it.” Daxon says and Veronica blinks repeatedly.As far as Veronica thought, she arrived here, ready to base Daxon on the past version of him. It did not occur to her that he would have grown into an Alpha male—one that was ready to speak back to her and break every delusion that she arrived with.“Daxom, it’s me, Veronica. I know that I cheated on you and divorced you. It was a mistake and I regret it. Please, forgive me.” Veronica pleads, while false and dramatic tears roll from her cheeks.Daxon scoffs. H

Due to his busy schedule, Daxon does not have time to converse with Azura about what Veronica just pulled in front of them. After the confrontation with Veronica, Daxon’s face is etched with lines of contemplation, brows furrowed in deep concentration, and dark pools of eyes searching for an answer in the depths of his thoughts.He remembers to inform his personal driver to stop Azura at Bright group before he leaves for his appointment. He notices her quietness, she hasn’t bothered to ask him any question. On their way to Bright group, Azura’s countenance reflects a bittersweet melancholy. Her eyes that were once filled with hope and longing at the restaurant, now carry a hint of sadness.Although, she did not buy Veronica’s tears…she cannot say the same for Daxon.

“Is that lip—lipstick?” Sydney asks, her heart is beating very fast because it is obvious—it is a red stain on his lips and it can only come from a woman’s lipstick.“Um…” Daxon says, remembering where it came from and smirking at the thought. Michael rushes to his side with his suit and hands him a napkin to wipe his lips. Above the cloudless sky, the helicopter transporting the Prince of UAE soars in the air. Its metallic body gleams in the sunlight as it defies gravity by a rhythmic rotation of its rotor blades.“Whop, whop!”The pilot, who is seated in the cockpit, passes information to the security of “castle hotel” telling them to evacuate the area of landing. As the helicopter descends from the sky, the rotor blades gradually slow their rhythmic rotation, producing a whirring sound.
