Malik, the elderly man who owned this casino and was working under the manager who Zayden shot, asked, "So you're the ones who threatened my men?"
"We don't like small talk. Where are Darius Eleazar and Isabell?" asked Zayden.
Malik, who was lighting his cigar, laughed over there. "Calm down for a moment, Mr. Zayden Sanders. Yes, if you're not patient and in a hurry, it's true, as rumoured." Malik laughed at that.
"Look, Mr. Zayden; I didn't buy them cheap. So, yes, I can't just hand them over to you that easily," Malik said with a cunning smile.
Zayden was well aware of the games and cunning of people like Malik.
"So, how much should I pay?" Zayden asked.
"I believe you have a lot of money. What would you like in exchange for your project in the Lausanne area? I guess that's only 3% of the giant company you own," Malik said with a cunning smile.
Zayden, of course, wouldn't give up Lausanne because it was Olivia's favourite place and
Archil and Marcelo, on the other hand, carefully stepped into the casino's basement, a location they had previously identified based on directions from Dimitri obtained through CCTV footage that was successfully hacked using Malik's laptop.They conducted this investigation with outstanding skill, considering that every step must be taken with full calculation in order not to arouse suspicion. Upon arrival, the two felt a much different atmosphere; the basement was buried in thick darkness, giving a very strong, suffocating impression as if holding dark secrets inside.The cold, damp stone walls created an eerie atmosphere, while the sound of their footsteps was loud in the dense silence. Archil and Marcelo stepped carefully, continuing their search towards the designated point, as if prepared for any eventuality that might come their way. Every step, every second, was part of a larger plan, and they realised that in this silence, any slightest noise could trigger unwa
"Zayd, please hold on," Olivia sobbed as she ran with the movement of the gurney that was being pushed by the nurses through the hospital hallway to help Zayden.Her hands were shaking, and her sobs were so loud that they were filled with pain and frustration. When they brought Zayden into the operating room, Olivia stopped following and stood outside, the door shut tight, her sobs echoing. She sat on the floor, feeling devastated, and her sobs were heartbreaking. She looked down at her hands, which were covered in Zayden's blood."Why?" she thought. "Three people sacrificed their lives to protect me. Why am I so useless?" She blamed herself for not being able to do anything."Son, control yourself. Zayden is resilient; he will undoubtedly survive and navigate through his critical period," a person said, stroking Olivia's shoulder, prompting her to raise her head. Meanwhile, Bastian stood there, already dressed in surgical clothes. Bastian himself would perform
"How long are you going to sleep like this, Zayden?" murmured Olivia.Olivia sat beside the gurney where Zayden lay unconscious, gazing at her with a hopefulness that seemed to fade with time. In the cold, sterile silence of the hospital room, the sounds of the medical machines were a reminder of the fragility of a life suspended between hope and despair.Tears streamed down her cheeks, signalling the depth of pain and devastation she felt at the sight of Zayden, the person who meant so much to her, lying helpless. In her heart, Olivia prayed that Zayden would soon open her tightly closed eyes, drive away the shadows of darkness that enveloped her consciousness, and return to her arms. Every second that passed made her more immersed in feelings of anxiety and worry, guessing what was going on inside Zayden's mind.Her presence beside her lover was the only light in the darkness, and Olivia couldn't imagine a world without Zayden. She tried to stay strong, even a
"You should eat first," said Olivia, who was arranging food for Zayden. By now, Zayden had been moved to the presidential suite inpatient room. The room was larger and very luxurious. It didn't look like a hospital room.Zayden, who was sitting on a gurney, watched Olivia, who had been busy taking care of him since he woke up yesterday. The woman turned a tray toward Zayden and placed it on the table that had been set up."Eat," Olivia said, smiling at the sight of Zayden in front of her.Instead of picking up a spoon, the man stroked Olivia's jaw."You're okay, right?" Zayden asked."Yes, I'm fine," Olivia replied."This is Jonathan's problem. Are you really okay?" Zayden asked.Olivia was silent there, the look in her eyes clearly showing a deep sadness that she couldn't express in words."I know this must be really hard for you," Zayden added."Yes, it's quite hard and I'm devastated," Olivia murmured. "After all this time, we've only met and said hello now. And in that short time,
"I hope everything goes well," Olivia murmured.Olivia stared at her reflection in the mirror with a mixed look of sadness and tension on her face. She was wearing an all-black outfit that made her look elegant, yet with a hint of mystery, plus her long hair was tied up neatly, creating an aura that seemed to hint that there was more than just sadness inside her.Zayden gave a warning of what might be coming."You should be prepared, Oliv," he said in an urgent tone. "When people find out that you, as a member of the Eleazar family, are still alive, there's going to be a huge stir. People will be clamoring for information, and you know, even though this funeral is private, it's still curious because Jonathan is Eleazar's heir."Although the funeral was being held privately, with limited invitations, Olivia could feel the tension in the air. The cunning of the press and their desire for sensationalism made her uneasy. It may have been a very emotional time
"W-what are you, Olivia?" now began to come from Isabell's lips."Yes," Olivia replied, trying her best to hold back the emotions and feelings that were churning inside her."Oh my God!" Olivia was surprised when Isabel lowered her head and cried there. She sobbed even more there without being able to say anything.Darius, who had been frozen in place, walked over to them. He embraced Isabell's body, which was shaking violently as she cried."All this time, we only heard about you and made sure you were safe. We never thought we would have the chance to meet you, son," Darius said, his tears falling there.Olivia felt like she was in a strange and very unfamiliar movie, where everything that happened around her seemed like a far-fetched scenario, but her heart ached deeply, as if something was tearing her apart from the inside.In front of her eyes, two strangers, whom she had thought of as shadows in the past, now stood with tears streaming
"It's true what Zayden said; the news spread very quickly," Olivia murmured when she saw the news that was currently going viral on social media."The recent news circulating among the public about Darius' eldest son, Eleazar, has led to various speculations, especially regarding the figure who was seen accompanying Zayden Sanders during the funeral. Many suspected that the mysterious figure was Mrs. Olivia Sanders, who was previously rumored to have passed away. After some investigation, it was revealed that Mrs. Olivia Sanders is actually the daughter of Darius Eleazar, which is a very surprising fact. If proven true, it would bring a new dimension to the long history of feuds between the Sanders and Eleazar families. The tension between the two parties has been ongoing for decades, and Olivia's presence at this emotional moment raises important questions. Is this tragic moment a trigger for reconciliation between the two families? In this context, the relationship between Bastian S
"Uncle, I want to see Jakson," Ariana said to Lukas."To see Jakson? But Ari and Zayden didn't allow you to meet Jakson. Jakson is different from Jonathan," Lukas said. "Jakson might hurt you, but Jonathan won't; that's why Zayden gave you permission to go back and forth with Jonathan.""I want to see him. There are still things in the past that can't be resolved," Ariana said. "I'll be safe, so let me go see him."Lukas looked confused and then sighed. "Uncle will give permission, after you get permission from your dad or Zayden," Lukas said. "I'm sorry, but Jakson is really a hardened criminal who might harm you, Ari. Once you get permission, Uncle will accompany you to see him; now Uncle will contact Bastian or Zayden to get their permission," Lukas said."Alright, let me ask for their permission," Ariana sighed."Alright then," said Ariana as she moved away from the most terrifying and highly secured detention room for a criminal of Jakson's ca
