As Matthew walks a long distance. He remembers that he used to drive expensive cars in the neighborhood but after a twist of fate, Matthew doesn’t even have the transport fare to take a cab. When he enters the coffee shop, he spots Veronica and she signals for them to meet at the back of the shop to avoid others listening to their conversation.“Well, if isn’t the man who ruined my life.”“$10,000,000, I cannot believe that I entrusted you with such an amount. I lost all of my properties because I decided to trust a complete fraud!” Veronica says.“Veronica, wait...” Matthew tries to say. “Don’t tell me what to do! Didn’t you tell me that if your start-up company falls to pieces, you would tak

Daxon’s interest in Azura has grown stronger. It has gotten to a point where he cannot pretend that he doesn’t have growing feelings for her.

Azura’s presence has a way of encircling him and he cannot think straight.Regardless, there are things they have to discuss involving Veronica and how things came about in the Bright group event.

He told Michael to inform her that she was to meet a client at a reputable restaurant in orde

“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. There's a distant look in her eyes, as if she's lost in thoughts of someone who cannot return her affection. “Azura?” Daxon calls her name again, trying to make her aware that they are at Bright group. “Yes?” She says, f

“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. Due to the magnitude of the blades, wind blows extravagantly as the helicopter makes a gentle descent to the ground. Daxon and the rest of the hotel staffs are dressed in their uniforms of light blu

A VIP room is prepared for Daxon to focus on his virtual meeting. He sets up his advanced technological gadgets where he begins to speak with investors who are interested in Bright group shares. Due to his messed up schedule, it’s only convenient to carry on the meeting through a zoom call.The VIP suite has a private balcony which offers a breathtaking view of the architectural surroundings of the hotel. The terrace is open and it allows a gentle, refreshing breeze to sweep into the room. The centerpiece of the hotel room is a plush, king-sized bed with fine linens and a multitude of plump pillows.Outside his hotel room, Matthew, who is supposed to be on late night cleaning duties joins Veronica, who leaves from a taxi and he sneaks her into the lodger's room.“Did you get any of them?” Matthew asks, looking outside for any by-passers.“Yes, I got them both. Are you trying to kill someone here? Tell me what you want to do with it before I hand it over.” She says.“It’s for your own

As Daxon wraps up the meeting with their new investors, his phone beeps and he picks it up. It’s Azura, and she is wondering why he hasn’t arrived at her apartment yet. “Hey, Azura.” He says, logging out from the call on his laptop.“I guess you are working late. I heard the Prince of UAE arrived much earlier than you expected. Is everything under control?” Azura asks.“Yes, it went perfectly, I’m sorry…I couldn’t make it to your apartment in time because of an investors meeting. I’m at Castle…I’ll pack up and…” “No, don’t.” Azura interrupts Daxon.“You have been working a lot today and I don’t want you to have to leave. I haven’t been to the castle hotel before. I don’t know why I have never had the time.” She says.“Well, you could come over and I’ll show you around. I also want to speak to you. It feels like everytime we try to talk, something or someone always steps in between.” Daxon says, remembering the mask event and how Veronica yanked Azura away.“Really? Will you give me

At the sound of the door, Veronica is confused on what to do. Daxon is still passed out, it could be anyone at the door and the longer she stays on the bed, the worse it gets. So, an idea immediately comes up in her mind and with that, she gets up from the bed, heading into the mini bar section in the VIP hotel room.She takes out a bottle of whisky, pops it open and fills it into two glasses. Veronica pours the rest of it into the sink and places the empty bottle on the floor. Again, she takes out a bottle of Rye whiskey and gulps from it to give the illusion that she drank. Veronica opens Daxon’s mouth and fills it with rum, flinging it to the ground and allowing it to pour. Taking off her clothes, she climbs back into the bed, throws her hair in disarray, smudging her makeup and closing her eyes.Outside the door, Azura is confused as to why Daxon is not answering. She has rang the alarm a dozen times but no response.it doesn’t make sense. Her piercing blue eyes are filled with wo
